Get To Know Austrian Jewellery Brand | Makaro

About themselves


“Small moments can change lives. Our founder, Hanna, had the idea when she wanted to reward herself with a piece of jewelry. She quickly realized that traditional gold jewelry from a jeweler would lie beyond her budget, and costume jewelry did not fit the occasion or meet her quality standards. Therein lay an opportunity, she thought, and she developed it into a business together with her partner, Matthias.
Your world doesn’t need compromises. At Makaro, we see things the same way, which is why we settle for only the best: materials from sustainable sources, chemical-free, 100x gold-plating for years of durability, fair and sustainable manufacturing in the heart of Europe.”
