Ben Bridge Opens 3,300-Square-Foot Honolulu Boutique With Bridal and Pearl Salons

Ben Bridge Jeweler has expanded its footprint in Honolulu with a 3,300-square-foot boutique at 1450 Ala Moana Blvd. in Ala Moana Center, introducing two specialty spaces the retailer has never built before: its first dedicated Mikimoto pearl salon and the first in-store build for Bella Ponte, its in-house engagement and wedding brand.

The Bella Ponte area anchors the bridal side of the store, offering customizable engagement rings in a dedicated setting. The Mikimoto pearl salon sits alongside it as what JCK contributor Karen Dybis described as "two stores-within-a-store aimed at the growing number of pearl and bridal clients." Both firsts signal a deliberate push by Ben Bridge to serve Hawaii shoppers looking for a more immersive, category-specific experience rather than a traditional open jewelry floor.

Beyond bridal and pearls, the store carries Ben Bridge's own jewelry collections along with watches by Tudor, Zenith, and Longines. The Tudor section leans into its surroundings: a branded surfboard display anchors the area alongside dive watches, including the Tudor Black Bay, as a nod to Hawaiian surf culture. The tropical framing extends throughout the store's overall design.

Two doors down from the new boutique, Ben Bridge operates a Rolex boutique that previously occupied the space as a Ben Bridge Timeworks location, giving the retailer a concentrated presence within a single stretch of Ala Moana Center.

The Ala Moana opening is part of a broader expansion in the market. Ben Bridge also operates a separate 950-square-foot Tudor boutique at 2300 Kalakaua Ave., its first dedicated partnership store with Tudor in Hawaii. That location showcases the Black Bay, Pelagos, 1926, and Tudor Royal collections, along with a Black Bay 58 experience table designed to let customers engage with the watch's construction. Tudor-branded surfboards run throughout that store as well. Ben Bridge and Tudor celebrated the Kalakaua boutique's grand opening with a party at Hau Tree in the Kaimana Beach Hotel, drawing more than 100 guests.

"We are thrilled to embark on this exciting new chapter for Ben Bridge and Tudor in Hawaii," said Lisa Bridge, president and CEO of Ben Bridge Jeweler. "With 112 years of watchmaking heritage, we have a profound appreciation for the quality and craftsmanship of fine watches. We cherish the longstanding relationships we have built in Hawaii and eagerly anticipate being part of many timeless moments we will share with our customers here."

Ben Bridge has maintained a presence in Honolulu for more than 35 years, with additional boutiques on Kalakaua Avenue and in the Aiea area. The Ala Moana location represents its most architecturally ambitious Hawaii store to date, built around the idea that pearl buyers and couples shopping for engagement rings deserve more than a display case.
