about
maria chiara arrigo and minimalceramicart
October 2025 I launched my own brand, can't say how long I really worked on it, three months, my whole life... this is where my personal and professional experience transform into something physical I can share with other people.
I used to be a fashion sales manager never afraid of anything, flying all over the world doing business and having fun.
I always knew I wanted to be a fashion designer but my pragmatism, fear and comfortable life almost made me abandon that dream. Until ceramic found me.
I started researching and found out ceramic jewellery is almost non existing, the reaction from people is quite often “isn‘t it fragile?”. The answer is YES, as everything is, not more and not less than a silver ring, a porcelain cup or a puppy. Who is intentionally throwing a plate on the floor expecting it not to break?
This convinced me it was right.
I am myself fragile, accepting and embracing it has been my salvation.
So yes, ceramic jewels, I go for it, and you?
wearable ceramics
Each item is handmade, this makes each piece unique and different. Colour and texture might change slightly with use. Material is ceramic, so please handle with care.
I use recyclable or recycled materials for production, packaging and presentation.
Since there are no dermatologically tested glazes, only food-safe glazes are used.
présentoir
From memories to hands, passing through the heart and mind. Every stage counts, another step on the journey that spans space and time. Sinking my fingers into the clay, the very same fingers that cut the plasterboard, that hand-write my symbol and my initials, one inside the other, on every single display stand.
Simple, practical materials which, like words, make up the text of my project.
Free of preconceptions, just as ceramics become precious jewellery, so plaster supports and showcases them, in all their simplicity and roughness.
