Komen for the Cure Greater Kansas City Breast Cancer Survivor Luncheon event to celebrate Life, Survival provides Hope and promises Plenty of Retail Therapy!

Hammered bangles with artfully wrapped pink pearls, a hand made ribbon and coin will be timeless paired with fine necklaces with just the ribbon and pearl, and since spring is here and summer is sure to follow, anklets.....yes its all coming back, can you believe it?

In the News

New York fashion week says black is going big along side greys and metallics.  RockaBella has whipped out a few new pieces with that in mind, with island style in mind of course. 

   
          Coquille  | Caviar

With inspiration coming from the unexplored, meaning if you think of white sandy beaches and the ocean on the horizon when Hawaii comes to mind... great! There is also gorgeous black sand beaches and beautiful caves, and things only seen in the deep sea.  I am not going to risk my life or the black coral species, so enjoy the jet swarovski crystal coral instead.

Nina Kuna Designs


The 2009 Collection from Nina Kuna Designs Hawaii has something just in time for Valentines Day. 


Thorn is a firm way to express this day with a piece of jewelry. Nina is constantly coming up with new designs to keep her line on the not your typical Hawaiian jewelry side of the industry.

This Paisley necklace has got the most modern feel to the collection in my own opinion, but still has a whimsical hippy feeling that comes from living on Maui for the more sophicated ladies in all of us.
