Jewelry Designers
by Maggie MacLean on March 19, 2008
Maui Divers of Hawaii was founded in 1958 in Lahaina, Maui, once a bustling whaler's port. The company began by escorting adventurous visitors on underwater excursions to view the island's exotic ocean environment.
A fishing expedition led Maui Divers to the discovery of one of the ocean's finest treasures, Hawaiian black coral, considered to be the most lustrous coral in the world. A year later, utilizing controlled harvesting to ensure the future of the resource, the company began designing, manufacturing, and selling Hawaiian black coral jewelry.
14k Gold Hawaiian Black Coral Pendant
A 14k yellow-gold set with a Black Coral raised S-shaped stone, 18x5mm, and three faceted round Diamonds totaling 0.15 carats, total weight, in the Paradise design.
On the Maui Divers website, I also found this adorable jewelry, the Plumeria Collection:
14k Gold and Diamond Plumeria Pendant
A 14k yellow-gold charm or pendant in the triple extra large Plumeria design with a satin and polished finish set with one faceted round Diamond totaling approximately 0.30 carats. Approximate size: 1 1/8"
Slipper Pendant with Plumeria Accents
A 14K yellow and white-gold large slipper pendant with faceted round diamonds totaling 0.10 carats total weight. Gold Plumeria design. Approximately L: 1" W: 3/8"
Chocolate Pearl Plumeria Ring
A 14k rose-gold ring set with one round "Chocolate" Tahitian Pearl ring, 8-9mm and bronze in color, in an extra-large 18mm Plumeria setting.

Maui Divers SUX!!!
Not just to work for, but for the customer as well. They have a few custom design pieces, and the rest are the same old generic crap you can get from any wholesaler online. The diamonds and semi-precious stones are inferior quality, with the exception of a few, and the markup is three times what you would pay at another store. Ask them what the grade is on the diamonds, they won’t be able to tell you and they won’t be able to produce a certificate. The freshwater pearls you can find at ABC store, not much difference in quality, but a BIG difference in price.
The big selling point is the "lifetime guarantee" - If the jewelry were quality, you wouldn’t need to send it in for repair. The stones and the corals have a tendency to get cloudy and dull and the pearls are always popping off the rings. A red coral necklace selling for $7,000 at the Hale Koa had to be sent back twice because it broke apart as it was being removed from the display. And it hadn’t even been worn yet!
So if money is no object and you LIKE throwing money away, then by all means go shopping at Maui Divers.
After all, someone has to pay for all their advertising. And they won’t use any other models besides the jewelry designer’s daughters. I’m sure you’ve seen their faces, again, and again, and again...
Ah. It feels good to tell the truth.
