Rainbow Collection
Milk and white chocolate reflect the shape of
Naupaka collection jewelry.

Chocolate and jewelry,
what more could
a valentine want?

A month ago, we reported on The Rainbow Collection's newest line of gems, "The Naupaka Collection," gold jewelry inspired by the Hawaiian legend of two star-crossed lovers transformed into half flowers in their death.

Now for guys in a last-minute panic over what to get loved ones by Valentine's Day's end, designer Karla Brom has come up with a delectable duo. Teaming with Sweet Aloha Chocolates, she offers milk and white chocolate candies in the shape of the naupaka.

The two 3-inch chocolates are being offered as a gift with any 18K Naupaka jewelry purchase. Half-inch earrings will cost you $185. In the spirit of the legend, split the set so you can wear one while your love has the other.

For information, call 947-8058.
