“Ma” (間)
The name MA BY MA comes from “Ma” by Maria. In Japanese, the philosophical concept of “Ma” refers to the space between objects, an interval, opening, or silence. You can imagine “Ma” as a space between the walls of a room, or a musical pause, a void between two sounds.
As a jeweller, I consider myself working with the space between a person’s inner world and the external world. To me, jewelry is like a door that allows your inner light to shine through. So, actually, I am a specialist in making doors.
SECRETS
Things that don’t lie on the surface and don’t catch your eye. I call them secrets. A slight movement, a hidden stone, an unexpected detail — those are the secrets of my jewelry pieces. These hidden features encourage you to pause and create a moment of silence and attentiveness. And this pause invites you to notice precious things about yourself and your surroundings.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
It is that special moment when you hear your inner self. It can feel like a vibration in response to something — a movie, a mountain view, a person, a captivating piece of art, a book, a fabric, or a jewel. It’s when, for some reason, you keep thinking about it and feeling it the next day, week, month, or year.
I believe that purchases should be made when you feel this inner vibration.
