THE KIMI KATO SHOW Featuring MAKIKO TOKUYAMA - Founder / Designer of MAKKO
Makiko Tokuyama is the brilliant mind and heart behind the fine jewelry brand MAKKO. MAKKO isn’t just fine jewelry—it’s a story of passion, discovery, and empowerment. Designed with authenticity and crafted with care, each piece reflects founder Makiko Tokuyama’s journey of growth and creativity.
Makiko’s journey is as captivating as the pieces she creates.
Born and raised in Japan, Makiko moved to Los Angeles in 2004, driven by excitement and curiosity. Coming from a modest family, she diligently saved up for this journey and arrived in a new city without knowing the language or anyone. Alone but eager, she embraced every experience as an adventure—an opportunity to explore, learn, and grow. Her travels worldwide further shaped her perspective, molding her into an extraordinary character: curious, authentic, and gracefully independent.
Inspired by LA’s vibrant energy, Makiko began sketching jewelry designs in her small apartment. With a vision for timeless beauty and an unwavering commitment to quality, she brought her ideas to life, creating exquisite pieces that celebrate the strength and elegance of modern women. In 2011, MAKKO was born—a brand rooted in authenticity, creativity, and enduring sophistication.
Makiko believes true style transcends time, shining beautifully in every era. Each piece embodies this philosophy—meticulously crafted to remain relevant, cherished, and admired not just today but for generations to come. She wishes MAKKO to inspire and endure, growing with every story it becomes a part of. More than jewelry, MAKKO is about embracing your journey and celebrating the beauty and strength of today’s women. Each piece is a tribute to their resilience, inspiring them to shine authentically with confidence and grace.
