Evolve. Explore. Express. Yourself.

Tiernan Miller, the designer behind Tokaum, discovered her love for jewelry at an early age. She would eagerly open her grandmother's jewelry box, marvel at the sparkling treasures inside, and parade around the house adorned in the cherished pieces. Her passion deepened following a visit to the local bead store. She became captivated by the endless creative possibilities and began making jewelry pieces for her friends and family.

After studying design in college, Tiernan spent a decade working in New York City's jewelry industry. She gained extensive experience across all facets of the business—from design and product development to fabrication and sales. She honed her appreciation for high quality hand craftsmanship, the unique beauty of gemstones and authentic storytelling. 

Following the birth of her children, Tiernan wrestled to find separation between her identity as an individual and her new role as mother. Her path to founding Tokaum was anything but linear as she rediscovered her creative intuition, Tiernan felt inspired to refine her craft and design jewelry that reflected her unique perspective. Tokaum launched in 2025 with her debut collection paying  tribute to the ever-evolving stages we experience in life, serving as a reminder to embrace and celebrate each moment. 

She hopes her designs encourage you to Evolve, Explore, and Express yourself. Handmade in New York City.
