Conception & creation take place on the Big Island of Hawai'i, in a widely recognized surf & fishing town known as Kona. Influenced by the beautiful vulture of the Island, Lola's uncommon tropical style reflects her intense passion for artistry & design.

The Eden Collection is filled with clean, graceful designs. Pearl driven, but not excluding other gemstones, this assortment is tasteful luxury for common wear & beyond. 



The Helix Collection is a versatile line of hand-knotted necklaces. Opposing bead shapes & color schemes create a captivating ansemble. Most of these necklaces are long enough to wear doubled, adding to their great flexibility. When worn in multiples, their essence is remenicent of wearing Hawai'ian lei.

The Vinatge Collection is a plentiful collection with bespoke, treaseured finds. The Rhinestone jewelry represents a nod to old Hollywood glamour. Each piece is made with authentic antique rhinestone jewelry dating from the 1930's to 1960's, which becomes the foundation for a new & uncommon design. Gold-toned & Silver-toned assortments are also found in this collection & are mostly from the 1980's to 1990's era of vintage jewelry. 



Lola Florence, designer & creator of the Hawai'i jewelry line, dedicates her collections to her love of & life on the Big Island of Hawai'i. A background in Fine & Graphic Arts, an unforgettable experience working for Dame Elizabeth Taylor, & her love of Vintage high-end couture jewelry, materialize in her one of a kind designs.

Lola Florence, the brand, is something I’ve been working towards my whole life. Embracing the evolution of my artistry has been the key point of growth as an artist. My favorite part of jewelry making is problem-solving. Where imagination meets engineering, aka “Design.” It is a gift to feel inspired & to be able to express that for others to enjoy. Design is my love, my happiness, & my therapy all in one. Jewelry is the relationship of which I reflect inward & communicate to the special people around me, most commonly, my clients. I have the best clients. They are trend setters & wear jewelry because it speaks to them & is different from the rest. They know who they are & they are fierce!

I’ve been an artist for as long as my mother can remember. I began drawing at the age of 3, when I could first hold steady a crayon. I studied different mediums throughout my childhood & young adulthood. Actual jewelry-making didn’t begin until age 12. I still haven’t taken a jewelry course to this day, which I am grateful for. To self-teach & bring to fruition what’s inside me with no one's direction is probably the reason why my designs have been successful. Years of trial & error, constant experimenting, & perfecting my craft have led me to the ultimate outcome of some of my most adored collections.

I’m especially moved by vintage couture fine jewelry. I had the privilege of working for Dame Elizabeth Taylor & Kathy Ireland in Hollywood, which was an enormous honor. The beautiful pieces I was in the presence of was astounding!

For many years I’ve had the privilege of working in the fine jewelry industry while simultaneously working on my own line. I've been fortunate to be surrounded with the most exquisite jewelry at every opportunity. This has made me the person, artist, & designer I am today. I’m counting on all my past & current experiences to aid me in the on-going progression of Lola Florence Hawai'i & I invite you to join me in this journey.
Aloha & Welcome.

As an artist, when I begin making a jewelry piece, the process begins with an inspiration, followed by an intention for where I want that piece to end up. However, the “art” in this process always chooses for me, provided I am listening. When I allow my creativity to be guided by the materials themselves, the result is one of pure satisfaction. There is imagination & thoughtfulness involved in each & every piece. I've made a conscious decision to create only one of every piece. At times, limited materials are a factor, but more importantly, it is the desire to be inventive in this process & to make a unique piece of absolute quality. Handcrafted jewelry is a rarity & a way to re-humanize true & meaningful emotions. Emotions of love & happiness, something a true jewelry lover & collector understands to their very core. For a client to feel that energy infused in each Lola Florence piece is my only wish!


Kona is the backbone of my work. It is my first inspiration & it is what allows me to grow & evolve as an artist. As a resident of Kona for 17 years, the respect I have for the Big Island & for the precious culture here, brings me to a place of complete admiration. To know & understand what a great privilege it is to be here, to be in this magical place where so many cannot be. Kona’s beauty & Aloha remind me every day of my opportunity & obligation to contribute.

Mahalo nui loa, Kona
Thank you & Aloha to all from the beautiful Big Island of Hawai'i, Lola
