Founded in 2009 by Jamaican-born, self-taught designer Matthew Harris, Mateo New York began as a men's accessories line before pivoting exclusively to women's fine jewelry in 2014. Drawing deep inspiration from modern art—particularly the clean lines of Wassily Kandinsky and Alexander Calder—the brand is celebrated for its minimalist, sculptural aesthetic. Mateo’s signature style relies on 14-karat gold, ethically sourced diamonds, and vibrant precious gemstones, with a special emphasis on uniquely suspended cultured pearls. The pieces are designed to be timeless yet highly wearable, appealing to a modern woman who appreciates understated elegance and architectural forms.
