It’s no secret that the world of fine jewellery is a traditional one. The same established houses have been dominating for over a century – which doesn’t leave much room for innovation – but new brand on the block (by comparison, anyway) Mateo NY is shaking things up with its unique approach to design.

Don’t mistake that to mean the label’s jewellery is trend-led: these are forever pieces. “Timeless but wearable and modern,” founder Matthew Harris tells us about Mateo’s aesthetic. No wonder he’s secured the likes of Net A Porter, Matches Fashion, Browns and Farfetch as stockists globally; and his trademark pearls – cultured, one-of-a-kind and never twee – have adorned the likes of Bella Hadid, Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union, Vanessa Hudgens, Yara Shahidi and Ava DuVernay.
