Whaler’s Locker

First, I love places like this. Very cool and interesting. Second, Great whites always are intriguing to me so I wanted to get a great white tooth. Bought one today (1 ¹⁄₈ inch for $ 75) and it’s very cool to look at. I will design it to be worn myself bc the pieces they offer, gold and white gold, are too steep for me (starting at $ 400 for the smallest tooth).
Service staff was helpful. Very pricey for the good stuff like great white teeth but if you want to get someone a cool gift, this is the place to go.
Overall: B+

Very cool place and full of Aloha!!! My wife and I were shopping there, and had forgot our wallet (cash only for small purchases) and Michele was sure to make sure we were able to walk out of the store with our small souvenir. When we walked in she was on the phone with another customer using her personal phone to take pictures and send to the customer so he would know exactly what he was buying, and what they had in stock… incredible customer service… as we travel there every December we will be sure to do our shopping there!!!

I have been buying from this shop for years. I have spent thousands of dollars here. A few years back I purchased a gold necklace for $ 520. They advertise it as being so strong it has been holding a brick for years and it won’t get tangled in your hair. After purchasing, it did tangle in my hair. I took the chain back to Michele, the owner Robert happened to be there. Michele told me it was the clasp not the chain and my hair must have got caught in it and pulled on the clasp. She wanted me to pay for repair. I was furious. Then she continued to give me a speech about how to care for jewelery using weak prongs on a diamond ring as an example. I spent thousands of dollars on jewelery at this store. I know what a clasp is. The clasp was not defective it was the chain. A clasp connects to the chain, it is not part of the chain. I will never buy from here again. At the time of purchase I was told the chain was guaranteed. I just assumed this met the entire item. Michele was full of bullshit. Plus she doesn’t know the difference between a chain and a clasp. The items at this store are very over priced. You would think customer service would be a priority. I went a few doors down and another jewler fixed the necklace for free. I would never shop here again. Apparently they hope to never see you again after you make an over priced purchase. Oh, the owner… he said he had no control over the business. I was surely taken for a ride on this necklace purchase. I will never recommend this shop to anyone. The jewler who fixed the necklace said the piece was not solder at all.

This shop is beyond cool. I bought a dinosaur tooth for my boyfriend! A must see. A little pricey, but a neat little shop with some really cool stuff.

In 2007 I was in Maui and, for my sister’s graduation, we pooled our money to buy her a shark tooth necklace (a work of art). For many years I drooled over her necklace and wished I had one of my own. Three years ago I finally went back and got mine. We both receive non-​stop compliments. Two years ago we returned and our parents bought us birthday gifts a beautiful ring and pendant made from an allotment of the ivory/​teeth left over from the whaling days in Maui. There is not a day that goes by that we are not wearing one or the other or all the jewlery from Whaler’s Locker. It is not just jewlery, it is artwork. I am going back this March and am already saving up for my next purchase.

Even if you don’t buy a thing this shop still merits a stop along Front St. in Lahaina, HI. I’ve been drooling over their selection for more than 10 years now and have to stop in every time I get back to Maui. My prized purchase is my Maui Whale necklace… I get a million and one complements on it and though it wasn’t cheap I don’t regret parting with the cash!
Looking for something special, this place won’t disappoint!

We’ve been traveling to Maui for years and buying something special at the Whaler’s Locker is a family tradition. It’s not just another jewelry or tourist shop. It’s special and unique. It’s part shop part museum. Looking forward to going back soon.

In August 2010 I bought a shark skin wallet there. It was not cheap but not expensive. It is the most expensive wallet I have ever bought.
I was told by the owner, Robert, the wallet would hold up longer than any other leather wallet. He is right!
Today, Feb 1, 2012, over 17 months later the wallet looks great. It will not need to be replaced for a long time. The shark skin shows very little wear and the stitching is holding up perfectly.
Buy the shark skin wallet!
