SCHE Hawaii, local manufacturer of fashionable maternity wear (we knew them as Leighlani, but they've changed their name), will give two free maternity garments to all pregnant military women and wives from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at Hot Mama Maternity, 3435 Wai'alae Ave. in Kaimuki, in appreciation for their continuing sacrifice.

SCHE founders Stacey Schiller and Holland Henderson, both young mothers from O'ahu, said they wanted to do something during the holidays, "to honor our military and their families for all they do for our country and each of us." A military ID must be shown to be eligible.

SIERRA DEW MAKES DEBUT AT INTO

ON OUR RADAR | ART WITH IDEAS

The Honolulu Academy of Arts gift shop jewelry collections speak to the idea that jewelry is wearable art, not only beautiful but interesting and even thought-provoking. It has to be polished and sophisticated, of course, but also a new way of looking at something as simple as a pebble or a seed.

The buyers seek new designers from all over the world. Their current collections come from France, Italy, Argentina, Colombia, Japan and across the Mainland. We especially love the bold, sculptural pewter and sterling pieces by Roberto Coppari of Italy and the magical mesh creations of Francisca Kweitel of Argentina that begin as recycled plastic. Also of note: the delicate, sophisticated stylings of Alice Roche of San Francisco and the amazing pieces by Rena Luxx of Germany, created with river rocks.
