Maalo

About maalo jewellery

Born from the desire to create timeless, wearable jewellery for every occasion, Maalo was established by Mexican designer Montserrat A. Alonso in 2019.

Each design balances a contemporary aesthetic, inspired by our natural world with vibrant colours and textures from her Mexican culture. All pieces are designed by Montserrat in London and made by either herself or a small team of artisans in her hometown in Mexico.

All pieces are handmade using ethically-sourced metals and stones in order to produce pieces that last forever and have minimal impact on our planet.

About the founder Montserrat is a fashion and textile designer born in Mexico and has been based in London since 2016. After working for 5 years in the industry with brands such as Diesel, Bally, Inditex and DKNY, she decided it was time to pursue her true dream and approach it in a more conscious way.

‘I believe jewellery is part of someone’s identity and the longer you wear a jewellery piece, the more history it builds.’

Montserrat produces pieces made to order, not only to support the talented artisans, but to avoid the unnecessary waste caused by mass production.
