Accessories – Sacramento

Kaleponi Designs is custom made jewelry for the unique individual that you are. Kaleponi Designs is based out of beautiful California, with the heart and soul on the islands of Hawai‘i. Every design is handmade, using precision and technique to give you the best quality work that I can provide. My custom made jewelry consists of handpicked shells, various charms, stones, and beads. Each piece is original and never duplicated. I am from the Island of Maui, now residing in California, due to a scholarship opportunity that was presented to me to attend California State University- Sacramento or in other words Sacramento State. I am currently a graduate from the University of Hawaii: Maui College, on the island of Maui, obtaining two degrees in Hawaiian Studies, Liberal Arts, as well as obtaining an Academic Subject Certificate in Hawaiian Studies. I have completed an internship with Hawaii Conservation working on the West Maui Mountains. Hawaii conservation works alongside of Kaheawa Wind Farms on the island of Maui to preserve the Endangered Species of Maui. I interned just over 600 hours of conservation in the summer of 2013 from late June to late August at the Kaheawa Wind Farms and Makamaka\'ole enclosure located past Waihe\'e in the West Maui Mountains. I am currently volunteering at the Pā‘ia Youth and Cultural Center: Dunes Project. I have also volunteered on multiple Hawaiian cultural; events anywhere from volunteering with the Hawaiian Home Commission to rebuilding an ancient fishpond in Kihei, Maui.
