A jewelry store on Aliʻi Drive and a 38 year collection.
Joseph and Wanda Goldscharek · Kona Inn Jewelry
Kona Inn Jewelry is Joe and Wanda's store in the Kona Inn Shopping Village, on Aliʻi Drive, the street every Ironman finisher runs down on the way to the finish line. Visitors loved it for much more than jewelry: friendly service, fair prices and pieces made from local materials.
Every October, the triathlon world came to Kona, and Joe started asking the athletes to sign the race poster. He kept doing it for 38 years. What began as a passion became the Joseph Goldscharek Collection: more than 300 original Ironman World Championship posters, now available to the public.
