Fourteen millimetres of solid rope, twisted tight enough to throw light down its whole length. Heavy on the neck in the way a real chain is supposed to be.

  • Solid 14k gold, no plating and no hollow core
  • 14mm width — other widths cut to order
  • Shown at 28 inches

Guaranteed for life

If your enamel ever fades or chips, bring it home. We fix it. Free. Forever. That was the promise at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet stand and it has not changed since.

Loss and theft are not covered, and neither is damage from being sat on, run over, or dropped down a drain — but bring it in anyway and John will tell you straight what it takes to put right.

How the price is worked out

Solid gold is sold by weight. John weighs the finished design, applies the day’s gold rate, and adds the bench time the piece actually takes. Heavier plate, wider chain, more letters — more gold, so more money. That is the whole formula.

You get the number before anything is cut. Nothing is charged until you say go.

Sizing, lettering and fit

Not sure of a length? Measure a chain you already wear and give John that number, or come in and try the sample lengths on the bust.

For any piece with lettering, check the spelling twice. A name plate is cut once, and gold that has been cut wrong is scrap. John will send the spelling back to you to confirm before he starts.

Timing and pickup

Everything here is carved to order, so ask John for a date when he quotes you — it depends on the piece and what is already on the bench.

Pick up at the shop: Westridge Shopping Center, 98-150 Kaonohi St, Ste B-110, Aiea, HI 96701. Open Wednesday through Monday, 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed Tuesday, which is John’s carving day.

Ways to pay

Cash and card are always welcome at the counter.

Synchrony is a credit card — you own the piece the day you walk out. Acima is lease to own, which is not a loan. John sets either one up at the counter.

Care and repairs

Warm water, a drop of dish soap and a soft brush. Keep it away from bleach and pool chlorine, and take heavy chains off before you sleep in them.

Resizing, re-enamelling, solder work and clasp replacement are all done in house. Bring it to the counter and John will look at it while you wait.
