About Artquilus
At Artquilus, I believe jewelry is more than adornment. It’s a living story shaped by tradition, craftsmanship, and spirit. Each piece honors the connection between art, nature, and the cultures that inspire us.
The Inspiration
At Artquilus, every piece is more than an accessory — it’s a link to ancient traditions and cultural symbolism. Inspired by the myths and motifs of civilizations like Mexico and Egypt, my designs channel spiritual iconography into meaningful, timeless adornments.
From protective amulets to symbols of transformation, each creation speaks to something universal. I believe jewelry should evoke emotion, honor heritage, and reflect the wearer’s story.
The Techniques
Artquilus blends traditional craftsmanship with experimental design, using techniques from intricate wire wrapping to welding and hand-forged fabrication.
Wire wrap, the slow, precise art of weaving metal by hand, sits at the heart of my work. Each piece takes hours to shape with patience and intention.
Select pieces incorporate welding and metal-forming to create more complex structures, balancing strength and fluidity. I primarily use brass and stainless steel, paired with hand-selected stones from Mexico and beyond, including opal, obsidian, amber, garnet, and labradorite.
Every piece reflects time, skill, and deep respect for both the materials and the story it carries.
Mauricio Campos
Founder & Artisan
I’m a Mexican artisan whose fascination with the natural world began while studying biology at UNAM. In my early twenties, I discovered wire wrapping and taught myself the craft. I’ve spent years refining my technique, driven by curiosity, patience, and a deep love for materials and symbology.
Now based in Mexico City, I blend structure and flow to create one-of-a-kind pieces by hand. Each design reflects my connection to nature, cultural roots, and the discipline of true craftsmanship.
