Why Na Hoku No Longer Sells Coral Jewelry

Coral jewelry has been a part of Na Hoku for many years. While we have enjoyed sharing the beauty of this unique gemstone with our customers, we have come to recognize that the ever-increasing harvest of coral is detrimental to the delicate ocean environment.

Treasure-hunting divers, uncontrolled harvesting, pollution and climate change have all contributed to the decimation of our naturally occurring coral beds on the ocean floor surrounding the Hawaiian Islands.

Na Hoku has therefore made the decision to cease all manufacture and sales of coral jewelry. While some may question the economic sense of our decision, we feel that we are all responsible for the stewardship of our environment and must act, in any way we can, to protect it.

Na Hoku has called Hawaii our home since our beginning in 1924. We are blessed to be a part of these beautiful islands, and want to preserve their beauty to be enjoyed by families, friends and our visitors for generations to come.

We know that this is the right thing to do.
