I discovered this next local Maui vendor while shopping for my wedding dress at the Tamara Catz store. I was admiring the incredible jewelry on display by the register and I found out that a lot of the pieces were made by a store employee. Her name is Kristel Bandisch, and she's an incredible jewelry designer! She has an online jewelry store called RockaBella Jewels. All the pieces are hand made on Maui and all of them are stunningly beautiful and would make the perfect compliment to your wedding ensemble as a Maui bride.

I fell in love with the Coral Lure necklace- "charms of angelskin coral, shells, citrine briolette, sharks tooth, peridot and adventurine aligned on a 14 karat gold filled chain. Add a small gold disc with word or phrase of your choice." This necklace was perfect because most all the charms had special meaning- the coral because it was a theme in our wedding, peridot is my birthstone, the shark tooth because Aaron was attacked by a shark! It was too perfect.
So I ordered it. And asked her to customize it a bit for me. And I had the customizable disc engraved with our wedding date, 10.10.08 and I had her leave off the larger piece of coral because it was a little to pink for my liking. And what I received from her a few days before my wedding has now become my FAVORITE necklace!

I was going to wear this on my wedding day, but then my friend gave me the good advice that it might get caught in my many leis (I had about 4!). So because I was afraid that getting it tangled in my leis may break the necklace, I wore it for every other party instead!...

And lucky for you- right now RockaBella customers can enjoy the 50% off sale until 2009! (Did someone say Christmas gifts???) So head over to her website and pick up some AMAZING deals on the prettiest jewelry you'll ever see! And say hi to Kristel for me!
