A brief history of Ming's of Honolulu. Ming's of Honolulu was opened just before WWII in 1941. Owner/jeweler Wook Moon designed moderately priced jewelry pieces with the working woman in mind. His pieces were suitable for suits, and featured Polynesian and Asian themed designs. Ming's gained quite the following in Hawaii and even reached the status of commemorative jewelry bought by families to give to their daughters to mark milestones in their lives. The renowned and unique painting process Wook Moon used in his jewelry pieces is still a secret today. In 1999, Ming's of Honolulu closed down and a few lucky individuals were invited to partake in their estate sale. Because of its strong following and the limited amount of Ming's products out t, Ming's items are highly collectible today.
