To continue to be inspired by the colors and textures around me and create wonderful unique jewelry that will make women feel wonderful. How do you feel today?

About Kathy Mattes

I love colors. I love glass. I love natural gemstones and pearls.  So, making beaded jewelry is a perfect expression of what makes me feel good every day.

My inspirations come from colors that move me.  My favorite colors are earthy colors.  I work a lot with copper, brown, gray, blue and green, and I love purple!  And I will not ignore reds or even pinks, if they have an earthy tone.

Unique, Wearable Art

My focus is on bringing these colors together into a unique piece of wearable art that has a sophisticated look.  This probably comes from a combination of my love of the country and many years working in downtown San Francisco.
