The beauty of my island home and love of color blends pushes me to explore new media for creative expression. By the nature of the materials and attention to detail, many of my pieces are one-of-a-kind or created on a limited edition basis. In some designs, you have the opportunity to include your personal touch to the finished piece. "Black Sand Beach" is pictured here, from the AGJ Signature Collection.Ânuenue Gems & Jewels

My Favorite Hawai`i Spots & Stops
Be sure to take your camera!
- Rainbow Viewing: H-2 drive toward North Shore after 2pm and before sunset. For a safe spot to stop, get off at Mililani Mauka exit and pull into McDonald's parking lot. (Save your appetite for dinner on the North Shore or a Cheeseburger Special from the stand at Tamura's Supermarket, Wahiawa.) FYI 8/08: Tamura's stand is closed for renovations and The Poke Stop is coming to this intersection (hopefully) by the end of summer(?) it's under construction at the moment!
- Other-Worldly Experience: Lyon Arboretum and Manoa Falls on a weekday morning. Exotic bird escapees from Paradise Park call out from treetops in the mists. Take an umbrella and something waterproof to sit on the grass and drink in the sounds & scenery. Sturdy walking shoes a must. Get a snack and coffee at Manoa Marketplace on your way back.
- Meditation locations: Byodo-in Temple, Kahaluu, and Mu-Ryang-Sa Buddhist Temple, Palolo, are architectural replicas of temples and gardens in Japan and Korea. Byodo-in is operated as an attraction to the public. Mu-Ryang-Sa is a working monastary, place of worship and cultural center of the Korean community.
- Scenic Calendar View: The last HVB stop at the end of H-3, before dropping down to the Marine Corp. Air Station. Photo-op of the windward side across Kaneohe Bay to Chinaman's Hat, with the backdrop of the Ko`olaus. Stop in Kailua Town for shopping and lunch, before or after.
- Islands, Ocean & Sealife: Sealife Park, as seen in "50 First Dates" is over on the windward side. I just visited the new-improved lookout at Makapu`u Point, on Kalanianaole Highway for another panoramic view of paradise.
- City/Ocean/Mountain View: Skip the harrowing drive along Tantalus or Round Top Drive, and take the elevator up Aloha Tower at the water's edge in downtown Honolulu. It's much safer, and there's a choice of spots ground-level to catch Pau Hana music, drinks & pupus, with a sunset view.
Shave Ice!
The ultimate "rainbow" experience...
Presidential candidates aside, one of the most heated debates in Hawai`i can be which local outlet offers "da bes'" shave ice, or "ice shave" as it's called on the Big Island. Again, these are all on Oahu from my own sightings. Will leave it up to you to decide or try all on your circle-island tour!Waiola Store, Moilili/Honolulu
Waiola Bakery & Shave Ice II, Kapahulu/Honolulu
Kokonuts Shave Ice & Snacks, Koko Marina/Hawaii Kai
Keneke's Plate Lunch and BBQ, Waimanalo
Island Snow Hawaii, Kailua
Aoki Shave Ice, North Shore
Matsumoto Shave Ice, North Shore
Baldwin's Sweet Shop, Waimalu/Pearl City
My personal favorite rainbow: Lime, Coconut, Lilikoi, with ice cream and azuki beans makes it a meal... or, any single fruit flavor with condensed milk on top (think 50-50)... oh yeah!
