As an artist, Carolina Gamper, also known as Mino Mino, draws inspiration from the dynamic synergy of ceramics and jewelry. With a foundation in industrial design, her creative journey led her to explore the expressive potential of high-temperature clay and silver. Mino Mino's creations transcend mere adornments; they are celebrations of individuality, reflections of the wearer's unique essence. Rooted in a belief that
materials and people are living energies, each piece serves as a testament to interconnected memories and a shared consciousness. Carolina's work resonates with the harmony between the planet and humanity, embodying the belief that we are all one.

In this new collection, Carolina delved into an ancient ceramic technique known as obvara. This fascinating process begins with the pieces glowing red-hot as they are pulled from the kiln. They are then immersed in a corn ferment, which creates unique and captivating stains on each piece. The result is a collection where every jewel tells a story of fire and transformation, blending tradition with creativity in forms that embody both the mystical and the natural.
