Malama Hawaii

Aloha,

My name is Howard Miao, and I’m the founder of Maxi, a Hawaiian jewelry company built from a deep love for the islands and the people who call this place home.

Hawai‘i has given me so much — inspiration, beauty, community, and a sense of belonging. And now, more than ever, I feel it’s time to give something meaningful back.

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to use Maxi as more than just a business — I want it to be a source of positive change. A portion of every sale from Maxi will go directly to organizations that protect our environment, support our local families, and help keep Hawai‘i a place of wonder and warmth for future generations.

Every piece of jewelry we create carries a story — a reflection of the island's spirit, and now, a symbol of giving and connection.

Whether you're a visitor or a local, I invite you to join me on this journey — to wear something beautiful that stands for something even greater.

From my heart to yours,
Mahalo for supporting a dream rooted in aloha.

Warmly,
Howard Miao
Founder, Maxi
