‘Alohi Kai
Hawaii
About ‘Alohi Kai
Hawaii is known for some of the most beautiful scenery on Earth, especially in its surrounding ocean. Shera Mercer has had a longtime passion for the waters around her home state, as well as for silversmithing, which she began at 17. However, for most of her life she worked in the corporate world. That was until she decided to move back home and forge a new path. Enter ‘Alohi Kai, a jewelry company inspired by Hawaii’s ocean life. Each piece is handmade by Shera using U.S.-sourced metals. Sustainability is a large part of ‘Alohi Kai’s mission, which is part of the reason she wanted to keep the company domestically made. A must get for any ocean lovers out there!
