So beautiful! My mum loves them and has worn them every day since.
Loved these! elegant and meaningful.
A beautiful scarf, of supreme quality. I look forward to wearing it this winter.
I ordered some earrings online for a friend. Communication was great, speedy delivery and packaged so beautifully. She loved them and put them on straight away. A big thumbs up.
Love my new earrings. They are sleek and stylish.
I love these earrings so much. It’s hard to explain well but they hang perfectly by the face. I have had so many compliments and queries about where I bought them from and of course I refer people to Mako Design. I also love supporting a business owned by Maaori wahine! I would love to buy these in another colour like white also. Thank you for your beautiful mahi.
Beautiful item delivered quickly.

FAQs
What are your earring fittings made of?
Most of our earring hooks and stud posts are made from stainless steel. Stainless steel is perfect for sensitive ears and won't cause irritation.
We do have a few styles that are silver/gold plated which will be listed under the description of each product.
Do you have a physical store?
While we don't have a physical Mako Design store, we do have stockists all around Aotearoa. You can view our list of stockists and their locations here.
How long does delivery take?
We send all our orders via courier within Aotearoa. Courier delivery takes between 1-3 working days once order is dispatched.
For Australian orders, this can take anywhere between 7-20 days depending on your location. These are also delivered via courier.
Can non-Maori wear your jewellery?
Speaking for our pakihi, yes. An important part of our kaupapa is celebrating and empowering through Maori design.
The initial inspiration behind Mako Design was to create contemporary Maori earrings and Maori art for everyone who is passionate about Maori design and te ao Maori and wants to see it thrive.
