Maalo was born in 2019 from the desire to create timeless, wearable jewellery for every occasion. Mexican designer Montserrat Alonso balances a contemporary aesthetic with inspirations from the natural world, women, and Mexican culture.
After five years of working in the fashion industry with high street brands, Mon decided to pursue her dream of making jewellery. From the beginning, she knew she wanted to approach her collections with a conscious mentality. The outcome was Maalo, a truly sustainable brand whose pieces are handmade either by Mon herself in London or a small team of skilled artisans in Mon's hometown in Mexico.
"Jewellery is part of a person's identity," says Mon, "and the longer you wear a jewellery piece, the more history it builds."
