Hi All!!!

Welcome to ThatDaintyKine jewelry co. get to know Emily and the heart behind our mission!

Aloha, I’m Emily—owner, designer, and heart behind ThatDaintyKine Jewelry Co.

I was just a teenager when I moved to Kauai alone, chasing a feeling I couldn’t name. I didn’t know then how deeply the island would shape me.

Jewelry started as a way to hold onto that feeling—a shell from a quiet morning walk, a pearl like the moonlit tides. What began as personal keepsakes soon became something others wanted to wear, turning my craft into a business with my partner’s support.

Kauai isn’t just a memory; it’s the heart of my work. Its beauty, stories, and spirit inspire me to create with intention—honoring, never exploiting. My priority is to celebrate Hawaii’s beauty in a way that respects the land and its people. That’s why my collection focuses on waterproof, non-tarnish designs inspired by the ocean and tropical elements, rather than relying heavily on shells. I appreciate the deep connection locals have with the land and ocean, and I want my business to reflect that same respect.

Originally ThatDaintyKineKauai, I chose to remove Kauai from the name, not from my purpose. Though I no longer live on the island, it will always be a part of me. This isn’t just about jewelry—it’s about sharing a place that shaped me, in a way that feels right.

Thank you for being here, the love is felt.
