Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
There's a wonderful selection of rare Niihau shell lei at Kauai Pearls and Gold. To appreciate the craftsmanship of these remarkable necklaces and understand the sometimes-high prices (which can range from $20 to $200), be sure to ask how best to care for and preserve them. The store, which has been in business since 1985, also sells a selection of 14-karat gold jewelry and Tahitian black pearls.
