Linx Hawaiʻi brings custom jewelry to Queen Kaʻahumanu Center

Queen Kaʻahumanu Center welcomes Linx Hawaiʻi, a unique jewelry boutique founded by local entrepreneur Nicole Ibarra. Linx Hawaiʻi offers an “ultimate permanent jewelry experience,” specializing in custom-designed pieces that cater to individual style and preference, according to an announcement.

Linx Hawaiʻi provides a range of jewelry options, including permanent jewelry, crafted from high-quality 14k gold-filled and sterling silver materials. Customers can design their own bracelets and necklaces, selecting chains, charms and connectors that are custom-fit with the option to add a clasp or secure the piece with a jump ring that is micro-welded.

Nicole Ibarra initially started Linx Hawaiʻi as a side venture, making appearances at pop-up events. This soon evolved into collaborations with local hotels, and now, the opening of a permanent location at Queen Kaʻahumanu Center.

“This is what we’ve always worked toward—this is the ultimate goal. We wanted the mall experience where people can find us easily,” said Ibarra.

In addition to custom jewelry, Linx Hawaiʻi offers a variety of pre-made pieces, including Tahitian pearls, Edison pearls, jade, pīkake beads, and preserved crown flowers. Beyond jewelry, Linx Hawaiʻi sells a collection of totes, pouches, and button-up tops featuring locally designed patterns. 

“We are delighted to welcome Linx Hawaiʻi to our center,” said Kauwela Bisquera, General Manager of Queen Kaʻahumanu Center. “Nicole’s creativity and passion for her work add a special touch to our retail offerings. Linx Hawaiʻi brings something unique to our community, and we’re excited to see how it enhances the shopping experience for both locals and visitors alike.”

Linx Hawaiʻi is now open and is located on the first floor between Macy’s and Koho’s. For more information, visit linxhawaii.com.
