Milik Jewellery
Milik is contemporary jewellery with sustainability at its heart. As a Japanese Peruvian I was curious to learn more about Japan and took my first degree in Metal and Craft at Nagoya Art University in Japan.
I am now pursuing MA studies in the world-renowned Jewellery & Metal School of the Royal College of Art (2023-24) London, United Kingdom.
Milik is evolving, taking in inspiration from my studies, living and travels not only in Japan but Australia and France. With its focus on sustainability, I am working with various materials such as bamboo, glass, recycled antique Kimono fabric, Peruvian textile, recycled, silver and gold.
Milik have transformed kitchen waste material into a self-developed biomaterial from the scratch. to develop their wearability in jewellery and to create awareness in the viability of new materials in jewellery.
Drawing upon the themes of Material cycle and circular design principles, I have explored biocentrism, philosophy, anthropology and ethnography.
Milik is my own brand and is about exploring circular design principals, biomaterials and low carbon process.
Milik Jewellery is hand-crafted one by one locally by myself and sending to the world around 4 continents.
Thank you so much for your support.
