Support local line and score its products
Iron and Blood, a new line of men’s accessories inspired by an industrial aesthetic, is looking for a little love online.
The brand founded by Hawaii brothers Miles and Zen Endo has launched a Kickstarter campaign that ends April 29. Funds raised will help finance the first production run of three inaugural pieces: an Iron and Blood ring, tie clip and money clip.
Pieces are made of silver or bronze, to which a natural patina is applied for an oxidized dark finish.
The project started while Miles Endo was studying metal machining at the Rhode Island School of Design and created a ring from a piece of sand-casted sprue. Snooping on his brother online, Zen Endo was intrigued by the ring, and the two worked together to refine the design while creating other pieces using the same industrial look.
At last glance the brothers had exceeded their goal of $7,500 by $773, but they continue to welcome contributions that start at $1. A donation of $35 or more gets you the tie clip; $60 or more, the money clip; and $100 or more, the ring. Those who pledge $175 or more receive the Gentleman’s Kit of all three.

Dr. Sonny Wong, principal cardiologist of Windward Heart Center, says he opened the center due to requests by clients seeking varicose and spider vein treatments, who didn’t want to drive to Hono?lulu for other body and facial treatments. Services available include Silk Peel facials, Environ facials, Botox, Dysport and other injectable fillers, CoolSculpting fat-freezing and removal, and noninvasive Ultherapy face and neck tightening.
With Mother’s Day coming up, purchase $300 in gift certificates to receive a $50 gift to be redeemed for services (excluding waxing and massage) through May 11.
The center is at 25 Maluniu Ave., Suite 202, by the Cinnamon’s parking lot. Call 261-8346 or visit windward?medi?spa.com
