About Ming's Hawaii, Inc:
The Name "Ming's", Has Achieved Worldwide Recognition as a Cultural Icon Originating in Hawaii during the Early 1940s. Ming’s Was a Well-Respected and Venerable Firm, Which Operated From Honolulu, Hawaii For Almost 60 Years. From Early Beginnings of Spectacular Hand-Carved Pieces, to Stunning Hawaiian Motifs Crafted in Sterling Silver and Gold, and the Highly Desired Pierced Gold Designs, All of Ming's Creations Demanded Exacting Details. Hawaiian Tropical to Asian Exotic, Ming's Jewelry Reflects the Popular Images of Its Time and Has Become a Cultural Icon Sought By Vintage Collectors Worldwide. Its Concept Was Developed From Mr. and Mrs. Wook Moon’s Years of Living in Shanghai, China in the 1930’s Where They Came to Study the History, Arts, Antiquities, and Ornaments of This Ancient Civilization. Upon Returning to Hawaii in 1941, They Opened a Small Storefront Business in Downtown Honolulu and Named It Ming’s. The Name Ming's Was Likely Derived From the Ming Ruling Dynasty of China From 1368 to 1644, Which Was Quoted as Being "One of the Greatest Eras of Orderly Government and Social Stability in Human History". This Little Store Became a Household Name Among Working Women and Tourists. As the Business Rapidly Grew, the Moon Family Expanded Ming's Throughout the Hawaiian Islands and Opened a String of Stores in the Mainland. Mr. Moon Personally Designed Most of the Jewelry and Often Created Pieces Himself. Apprentices Were Also Trained to Reproduce His Designs and Other Well-Known Hawaiian Artists Were Commissioned to Create Pieces. In Hawaii, Pieces From Ming's Have Become Family Treasured Heirlooms Handed Down Generation to Generation. From Their Delicately Carved Tropical Floral Motifs, 14k Jade and Pearl Designs, Ming’s Was Long Considered the Preeminent Name For Hawaiian and Asian Heritage Jewelry. Jewelry Sold at Ming's of Past, Greatly Played a Leading Role in Today's Hawaiian Jewelry Designs. One of Ming's Most Unusual and Appealing Jewelry Lines Was the Pierced Gold Patterns Line; All Pieces Were Originally Designed By Mr. Moon Himself. He Used the Ancient Symbols of China to Give Rings, Earrings, Bracelets, Pendants and Necklaces a Powerful and Exotic Appeal. After Closing its Last Door in 1999, the Legacy That Ming's Left Us With Will Never Be Forgotten. Please Be Aware That Only a Genuine Ming's of Hawaii and Ming's of Honolulu Jewelry Piece Will Always Be Hallmark Stamped With "MING'S" and Its Respective Metal Purity Content. Today, We Are Reliving Ming’s “Dynasty” By Honoring the Legacy of An Artist Whose Eclectic Creations Brought Joy to Generations of Women. We Hope That You Will Find This Jewelry Not Only Elegant and Retroactively Chic, But That in Owning a Piece, You Become Part of a Long Tradition of “Owning a Ming’s.”
