Matt Stuller started his eponymous company in his native Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1970.
As he explained to National Jeweler during a 2020 interview on the “My Next Question” webinar series, his interest in jewelry started during his sophomore year of high school.
He went to work for a local jeweler and “fell in love with jewelry.”
During his senior year in 1969, Matt Stuller partnered with the store’s bench jeweler, who had been teaching him how to repair jewelry, to open a trade shop inside his father’s orthodontics building.
“When I graduated from high school in ‘69, I had this wild and crazy idea by my experiences of getting the products, the components, the findings, that I needed for the trade shop, it was difficult to come by. And the people were, although nice, they weren’t helpful,” he said during the webinar.
So, Matt Stuller started his own business supplying local jewelers in southern Louisiana with jewelry components.
“And that is how it all got started,” he said.
