We are MaiaMina
Be Your Own Muse: Ignite Your Creativity, Passion, Confidence, and Boldness
OUR VISION
At MaiaMina, our vision is to ignite the spirit of self-expression in every woman. We believe in empowering women to confidently showcase their unique identity to the world. With a focus on boldness and individuality, we inspire women to curate their own style by layering personalized and iconic pieces. Our goal is to be the catalyst for women to embrace their inner muse and celebrate their authenticity through jewelry.
WHO WE ARE
MaiaMina was founded in 2022 in Hong Kong by a team of creatives who shared a passion for life and jewelry. Leaving stable careers behind, we embarked on a journey to inspire women to express their true selves. Our mission is to create jewelry that not only enhances style but also empowers women to follow their dreams.
That's What We Do
"Be Your Own Muse" is more than just our slogan; it’s a call to embrace self-expression. We blend timeless design with innovative craftsmanship to create extraordinary pieces that resonate with individuality. Every MaiaMina creation is meticulously crafted, not just as a piece of jewelry, but as a symbol of personal style and self-expression.
FROM DRAWING TO REALITY
The creative process starts at our atelier in Hong Kong, where our specialized creative team works in every design with absolute demand and carefulness, from the first sketch to the material selection and the development of the final samples of every jewel.
The manufacturing of our pieces combines an attentive handcraft expertise with the latest technology, which is applied in different stages until reaching the final jewelry piece.
DIGITAL TRIDIMENSIONAL PROCESS
Our process begins with hand-drawn sketches, translated into 3D models using specialized software to finalize technical details.
Molding: High-precision 3D printers create wax prototypes, which are used to form silicone molds. These molds produce multiple wax replicas of each jewelry piece, as needed.
The Wax Tree: We assemble wax replicas into a "tree," encase it in a cast, and melt the wax to create a negative form. This form is filled with molten 925 sterling silver, solidifying into the final structure.
Carving: Once cooled, the cast is removed, and the silver pieces are carved and polished by hand to form the jewelry's solid body.
Polishing & Plating: A three-phase polishing process removes imperfections, followed by optional 18k gold plating for certain designs.
Setting & Assembly: Stones are set by hand, and all parts are assembled using precision tools.
Quality Control: Each piece undergoes a thorough inspection and testing before being sealed for protection during storage. Any leftover materials are melted and reused.
BEAUTY LIES IN DETAILS
Commitment to quality is a fundamental pillar in each MaiaMina jewel. We produce our collection with 925 sterling silver, 18 karat gold, brass, semi-precious stones and zirconias. In addition of going through strict quality controls and being carefully selected, these materials make each piece genuine and unique.
Our workshops are comprised with a great team of craftsmen that ally with avant-garde technology, bringing an exceptional finishing to every jewel. The expertise of the hand-finished details and the high precision of the tools in our facilities allow us to create every piece with the highest level of demand.
