NY-based Mateo creates dreamy fine jewelry you can actually afford.
For fine jewelry at its finest, our editors and favorite celebs (think Anne Hathaway, Kerry Washington, Kate Bosworth, and Vanessa Hudgens) turn to NY-based Mateo. We asked founder and designer Matthew Harris about the vision behind his brand, the ShopBAZAAR Hero, and how he practices self-care.
Describe the beginnings of your brand.
Mateo New York started with the selfish desire to make personal jewelry for myself. Rihanna wore a piece from my collection and retailers started asking for more. That’s how simple and organically the brand started. Since then we have grown tremendously, selling our collection worldwide. We take inspiration from modern art and artists such as Alexander Calder and Kandinsky, to name a few.
What is the Mateo philosophy?
The brand’s philosophy is to make great personal jewelry at affordable luxury prices to last a lifetime.
