Tracy Matthews discovered her creative path when she enrolled in her first jewelry fabrication class in her early 20s. By experimenting, combining color with metal, Matthews planted the seed for her future collections. She designed and sold her delicate jewelry to a succession of friends, families and bridal parties when she realized her first market. Her inspirations come from a collage of elements, including her yoga practice, spirituality, a love of color, nature, travel, and vintage jewelry. 'I am fascinated by life in all its essence, and how the blending of fashion, art and culture melt together. I have always designed around a color story, and love pairing the uncommon,' says Matthews. 'My hope is that whoever owns my jewelry will treasure it for a long time.'
