Hawaiian Jewelry - Tips for Caring Gold Silver Pearls and Diamonds Hawaiian jewelry is incomparable in its beauty and allure. However, to ensure that jewelry always maintains its shine and luster it is essential that it has to be well cared properly. "Most women are more than happy to buy Hawaiian jewelry. However, you can truly tell when a woman loves her trinkets when every ornament that she wears sparkles as new. It is important to keep your jewelry in good condition to maintain its value," says Yoshi, Owner - My Hawaiian Jewelry. Here are some tips offered by My Hawaiian Jewelry on how to care for the jewelry. Caring for gold Hawaiian jewelry:  Gold is an extremely popular metal used in traditional Hawaiian jewelry but it is a soft metal that can be scratched easily. Thus, when cleaning the gold Hawaiian jewelry use a soft cloth.  Use luke-warm soapy water. Keep it away from all chemicals including ammonia, toothpastes and dishwashing detergents.  Chlorine is extremely detrimental to gold so ensure that you take off all the gold Hawaiian jewelry when in the pool or Jacuzzi. Caring for pearls:  Pearls are more delicate than any other precious metals and gemstones. Always put on the pearl jewelry after makeup, perfumes and hair spray.  When removing the pearls, wipe with a soft, moist cloth. Never use any chemicals.  Store pearls in a velvet or satin lined box and separate from other jewels that could scratch the surface of the pearls.  The best way to keep the pearls looking lustrous is to wear them! Caring for silver jewelry:  Silver jewelry can tarnish easily so requires higher maintenance than gold. It is advisable to polish the lush patina of silver regularly before it gets tarnished. Prevention is much easier than cure after all.  Silver jewelry is best cleaned with mild soapy water. Let the water bead up on the jewelry and then pat it dry with a soft cloth.  Special solutions created for cleansing silver can be used. Ask jeweler for a good recommendation.  Do not use tissue paper or towels to rub silver. The fibers in these products can scratch the surface easily. Caring for diamonds:  In addition to all the regular jewelry caring tips, remember that diamonds should never be stored with any other jewelry. Diamonds are the hardest stone that exist and can easily damage the jewelry and gems.  Also, diamonds can sometimes become loose in their setting. Take the jewelry to a reputed jeweler immediately and have it reset unless willing to risk loosing the diamond altogether. Traveling with Hawaiian jewelry:  When traveling with Hawaiian jewelry ensure that each piece of jewelry is stored separately wrapped in a soft piece of cloth. Do not throw the Hawaiian jewelry in with the other accessories or cosmetics. The jewelry is likely to be scratched or broken. Also get jewelry cases designed exactly for this purpose. Thus, with proper care and maintenance Hawaiian jewelry can maintain its brilliant luster and shine forever! Want to Get your own E-News to better promote your website.

Hawaiian music fans outside

HAWAIIAN MUSIC LYRICS -- LIST OF LINKS HAWAIIAN MUSIC LYRICS -- WEBSITES MELE.COM does not provide lyrics all requests will be directed to this page, with links to sites/businesses which provide lyrics (some also provide translation and chords) The first place to look for lyrics, is in the liner notes of every CD which includes the song (to find recordings of a specific song, click "Search" on the MELE.COM front page, and follow instructions given) Pa'a ka waha, nana ka maka; hana ka lima. Shut the mouth; observe with the eyes; work with the hands. (One learns by listening, observing and doing.) This was the traditional method for learning Hawaiian songs, as one sat near a musician as s/he played. Songs and tunings were passed down through generations of families -- from kupuna (elder) to keiki (child). Hawaiian songs were rarely (if ever) put in writing, not even the lyrics. Very few musicians in Hawai`i could read music, so this was how the songs were perpetuated. Even today, many of the "top" musicians in Hawai`i do not read sheet music...they learn the old way, or from listening to a particular song over and over (on tape or CD) and playing along until they feel ready to play the song in public. Hawaiian music fans outside the islands -- in their eagerness to learn the lyrics and translations of their favorite songs -- are often dismayed to find that they may, too, have to learn "the old way". While some Hawaiian CDs include this information in their liner notes, many do not. Harry's Music (O`ahu) for Hawaiian sheet music. Phone 808-735-2866 -- If Harry's doesn't have the sheet music, nobody does! -- #1 for Hawaiian sheet music Huapala Hawaiian Music Archives -- #1 for Hawaiian song lyrics & translations Hapa Haole Songs -- #1 for hapa haole (mostly English) lyrics Sheet Music Plus -- sheet music, songbooks, and guitar tabs Hula Preservation Society -- `oli (chants) Hawaiian Independence music Hawaiian Songs database , compiled by Dr. Amy Stillman Hawaiian Chants & Songs in Published and Recorded Sources , compiled by Dr. Amy Stillman University of Hawai`i Sheet Music Database Ukulele Strummers Koloheboy's Hawaiian Uke Page ©2005 Hawaiian Music Island -- MELE.COM -ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Site Map | Contact Us | Site Guide | Submit Halau | Submit Concert
