Designer Lauren Caldiero has always made things. Growing up on the unpopulated shores of Hawai'i Island in a native Hawaiian family, allowed for an atmosphere of constant creativity and a deep connection to the sea. A lifelong love of diving for shells and surfing has inspired her to make wearable pieces of nature. Pua Jewelry embodies her effortless seaside style that emanates in all her treasures.
Pua Jewelry introduced the first collection in 2001 and now 11 years later, added a new line of new pareus. These soft, cotton pareu are inspired by her mother's vintage Tahitian pareu collection from the 60's & 70's. As with all Pua pieces, they are produced in limited quantities to ensure that special, unique feeling that allows you to carry of piece of sunny Hawai'i wherever your travels may take you.
Lauren's pieces have been featured in the pages of In Style magazine, Lucky, Nylon, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Daily Candy and HiLuxury.
Lauren now lives on O'ahu with her family. Her free time is spent in the ocean, where she and her husband pass on their love of the sea to their young daughter, Opal
