The future has an ancient heart.
Creativity is the human ability to transform and adapt, challenging the ordinary. Designers constantly question their surroundings, reshaping the world around them and creating beauty. Maria Luisa, the founder of Mamusa, grew up in Italy and studied industrial design in the heart of Milan. Here, she immersed herself in a rich cultural heritage, learned about traditional craftsmanship and developed a deep appreciation for history and its influence on our present.
Instinctively attracted to colours, shapes, composition and textures, she started fabricating jewellery with shells, beads and small toys before she could read or write. Each year, for her birthday, her grandmother marked these special moments with the gift of a gold coin, a cherished tradition in her native Sardinia. These coins, tokens of love and symbols of good fortune, hold a special place in her heart, connecting her to the roots and stories of the family. They have always been her personal treasure. Where her mother saw them as charms for bracelets or pendants, she envisioned something different and new.
Proudly conceived and hand-crafted in Milano, Italy, our fine jewellery is a balancing act between the familiar and the unexpected. Each design pushes the boundaries of traditional goldsmithing with unconventional materials, like glass and plexiglass, incorporating unique artifacts, such as precious coins or banknotes. We produce in limited quantities, using carefully selected materials and sustainable practices, reflecting our commitment to quality, craftsmanship and timeless value for future generations. It is a collection of precious items that celebrate heritage and tradition, as well as the courage it takes to transform and evolve.
For things to remain the same, everything must change.
