Maria de Mata

"I was born in the state of Jalisco and even as a child I enjoyed designing. I began making jewelry and bags just for me, but my friends liked my designs so much I began to make them for them. So, bit by bit and with the support of my husband I set up my own workshop. I design jewelry and leather items.

"I've always loved nature as well as ethnic artistry, that's why my designs seek to blend both passions. I think it's essential to dress according to the seasons so my designs incorporate silver with different gemstones – all of which I regard as gifts from mother nature."

Maria de Mata signs her pieces after her married name, Mata.
