Collection has royal inspiration

Philip Rickard Honolulu debuted its Iolani Palace Monarchy Collection Saturday at its Ala Moana Center boutique.

The large Coat of Arms pendant is $1,225.

The collection is the result of a decade of research into jewelry of the monarchy, including the discovery, in England, of Queen Lili’uokalani’s original bracelet, which Rickard believes was "the original bracelet from which all Hawaiian heirloom jewelry originated."

That bracelet, he said, was engraved with a prayer and featured the words "Ho’omanao Mau" (A Lasting Remembrance) in glass enamel.

His research led him to write the book "Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry: A Lasting Remembrance" with Henry Bennett. Rickard’s appreciation of the monarchy and Iolani Palace also led him to create the collection, in part, as an economic engine that would provide funding for the palace’s restoration and upkeep.

He envisioned pieces that could be sold in the palace’s gift shop, with a portion of sales benefiting the palace.

A replica of Queen Lili’uokalani’s bracelet, "Ho’omanao Mau" or A Lasting Remembrance," circa 1862.

Included in the collection is a Maltese cross, with its eight points of courage symbolic of pieces worn by Hawaii’s alii, as well as pieces featuring a maile design inspired by chairs in the palace. Prices range from about $785 for a pair of crown earrings to $7,200 for a Kulia e ka Nu (Strive for the Highest) engraved bracelet.

The Iolani Palace Monarchy Collection is available at the Iolani Palace gift shops, the four Philip Rickard Honolulu retail locations in Hawaii, or online at www.philiprickard.com.
