Hi, my name is Matthew. I am a self taught metalsmith responsible for making everything at Moon Mountain Jewelry. I started crafting jewelry over 20 years ago, inspired by my love of rockhounding and prospecting the mountains for crystals and other minerals . All jewelry is made in my home studio near the pacific ocean in beautiful Santa Barbara. I only use small hand tools and manual labor to fabricate all my pieces. This is my passion. Inspired by the mountains, desert, forest, ocean, sun, moon. I have very high standards to the quality and choice of stones and metals I use, and I make everything with an incredible amount of love, and care. :) You can find me every Sunday near the waterfront at the Santa Barbara art show, where I sell my work in person. If you have any questions or would like to inquire about a custom order, please reach out to me:)
