Edelstein Metalsmiths

Edelstein Metalsmiths Edelstein Metalsmiths is the studio and storefront of Joshua Edelstein, a Hawaii-born and based goldsmith, silversmith, sculptor and designer.

My main goal as your jeweler is to design something that isn't merely beautiful but also expresses something about you as compellingly as possible. As you read through the descriptions of the work on this website, you'll see that nearly every single piece tells a story of its wearer. These stories—your stories—are what makes my work unique. Some jewelers will take you through a process of configur

ing a piece of jewelry, swapping out a preset library of shanks, findings, settings and stones to your taste; this isn't how I approach custom design. My process centers on understanding your aesthetic and then lending mine to it so that together we discover a completely new objét that neither of us could have conceived of on our own. Together we make something personal and purposeful that eventually becomes part of the story it tells. This is the art that chance creates.
