Who is Matilda?
Matilda is rooted in memory, ritual, and legacy. It pays tribute to my mother, and her captivating collection of vintage fine jewelry.
As a child, her pieces were kept not in a jewelry box, but in a worn toolbox. Opening it felt ceremonial. My sisters and I would sift through each piece holding a story, a past life, a sense of wonder from her travels. It shaped how we see jewelry: not as ornament, but as something deeply personal—something that empowers.
Matilda was born from that feeling and carries that feeling forward. Each piece is designed as a talisman—an object to wear, keep, and pass down. Balancing daintiness with boldness, every design is created to hold memory and become part of your story.
