​
​Blue Bird Jewelry Hawaii, a sophisticated, timeless and luxurious jewelry line, was launched in July of 2013.

Inspired by and named after our beloved blue parakeet, Buffy Girl, who went to the Rainbow Bridge on April 2, 2010, each piece of jewelry in our collection is made with lots of love, positive intention and joy.

Our second feathered friend, Chu Chi Girl, joined our family in February 2017. She brought so much light and laughter into our lives and watched many jewelry designs as they were being created from Jana's workbench at home. Sadly, Chu Chi Girl passed away on October 18, 2020 - she will be dearly missed and always remembered.

We feature and showcase semi-precious gemstones and freshwater pearls that are hand-selected for their vibrant color, beautiful faceting, luster and uniqueness.

We utilize gold fill, rose gold fill, vermeil and sterling silver metal wire and findings in our designs.

Our aesthetic appeals to women of all ages, with a wide range of personal styles.

Jana and Gavan Higa

Jana - Owner & Designer
Jana has loved jewelry and all things sparkly from a very young age, but was first introduced to beading in her early 20s by a college classmate. 

Since then, she has learned various jewelry-making techniques and developed her own aesthetic, which eventually evolved into the Blue Bird Jewelry Hawaii line.  Jana makes jewelry that she would personally want to wear and stands behind the design and construction of each and every piece in the collection.

After 5-6 years of doing numerous pop-up events, trunk shows and craft fairs, in February 2020, Jana's long time dream of opening a boutique came true. In spite of challenging times that the COVID-19 Pandemic brings, she is determined to continue welcoming and building relationships with customers who visit her cozy little boutique at Ward Centre, filled with pretty, sparkly things made by hand with lots of love, positive intention and joy.

Gavan - Best Assistant Ever
Gavan is the backbone of Blue Bird Jewelry Hawaii and assists with photography, quality control, tagging, and event logistics. Blue Bird Jewelry Hawaii would not be able to function or exist without his hard work, dedication and support.
