Morgan Patricia Designs is the creation of LA-based jewelry designer, Carlie Matthews. Her organic line of handcrafted jewelry is inspired by memories of growing up on the sunny beaches of New Jersey, south Fl

orida, and dreams of faraway tropical lands. She believes that personal style is truly an expression of your imagination, with hers stemming from having spent the better part of her childhood exploring the shoreline & swimming in the surf. Carlie’s tiny wearable sculptures escape reality and float in an ethereal world of seashells, barnacles, sharks, and mermaids. Intricate details and effortless wearability give a feeling of serenity to the wearer and embody the timeless silhouettes that make up the collection of 14k gold, sterling silver, and a rainbow assortment of opals with a splash of diamonds. She believes in designing jewelry you can live in; meant for any occasion, and always purchased with a cause. 1% of all sales are donated to educating our youth on the importance of our oceans! Find out more about how this aquatic allure truly captured Carlie’s interest through the international shark saving organization, Shark Angels. Morgan Patricia Designs exudes whimsical luxury with a focus on one of a kind pieces and delicate staples for all women, both young and young at heart alike. The line is created with a little bit of sunshine and ocean vibes, through the lost wax casting method using recycled metals and ethically sourced natural, raw, and polished gemstones in downtown, Los Angeles.

recently received a treasure trove of MPD styles where each piece tells a story of the moon and waves and vibrant sea life.

Designing collections for Adorn is always so much fun. Molly narrows down the gemstones she likes best for each requested style, and then lets me work my magic! I hand carve each piece, always inspired by the beauty of the sea.

Here’s to finding joy in the little things… better yet, the sparkly things crafted with joy, love, and a touch of rainbow ✨ You can now shop these one of a kind and classic MPD beauties in-store and online at Adorn!

Flashback to a couple of weeks ago when I was working on custom Tidal Moons and new pieces for . If you’re ever in Cape Cod, please do check them out, Molly has curated the most beautiful shop!

Keep your eyes peeled for a post here featuring the one of a kind pieces I just shipped out to Adorn!

I tend to do my wax carving in batches, so unfortunately this is not my every day. I wear a lot of hats running MPD, but these days at my bench where the creativity flows as freely as this red wax are definitely my favorite!

Let me know if you’d like to see more photos and videos behind the scenes! This is my happy place, and I’m thrilled to share it with you 💙

This Namibian chalcedony Tidal Moon pendant carries the feeling of a full moon on a deserted beach. Aptly named “Blue Hour” for that sweet shade of sky where blue meets purple, and everything is aglow.

The backside of these pendants are finished with a texture to imitate sea foam, like waves crashing along the shore and swirl at your feet before pulling back into the sea.

This beauty is *one of one* and ready to ship! You can find her at the link in profile under “Latest Drop” 💙

Mother’s Day is just around the corner… Here’s to celebrating all of the mothers and nurturing caregivers in our lives!

Sparkling pendants shaped like sunlit eggs, buttery toast, vibrant avocados, and tiny coffee mugs. Each piece a tribute to shared meals and quiet, nurturing rituals ❤️

I hand carved each of these pieces to transform everyday moments into lasting keepsakes and gestures of love (and self care). My goal was to honor those sweet gestures with jewelry that can feel personal, symbolic, and always whimsical.

These breakfast inspired pieces are a unique way to say thank you 🍳☕️ Shop link in profile, DM with customization inquiries.

This unique Australian boulder opal feels like early morning walks through coastal marine layer 💛🌈✨ The soft glow of the sun about to peek out, a light fog, and the colors of the coast all mixed into one beautiful opal!

Fun fact, did you know the two rings included in this *Latest Drop* are both mixed metal? Handmade with solid 14k yellow gold settings giving these pieces that golden glow, and sterling silver bubbly bands that will patina over time for a unique-to-you detail that will perfectly complement the center opal.

Fun fact # 2, this “Marine Layer” Tidal Moon opal was cut with a matching/sister opal, and I’m so very into the idea of making it into a matching pendant! 🌛🌜 Shop the ring at the link in profile, DM with matching pendant inquiries.

Happiest birthday to my favorite ❤️❤️

We spent the best weekend in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks celebrating all of the beautiful old things, like Sequoia trees and my newly 40 year old husband 🥳

Bob is always up for an adventure whether it’s hiking around rocky cliffs, keeping me calm in bear territory, steep trails with surprise endings, carrying all of the water and snacks, and waking up at 1am to go out into the forest for incredible Sequoia/star trail/Milky Way photos.

So many photos of gigantic trees are coming, but swipe for the *now and then* 🏞️🫶🏼 of our favorite spot. Love you Bobbo!!

In honor of Artemis II returning home today… Let’s take a peek at this special collection of Tidal Moons I made in celebration of a vibrant Spring. This collection was designed around some of my most treasured gemstones that I’ve collected over the years!

While most feature rainbow-hued opals, I did include an incredible Brazilian blue tourmaline ring, a new rose cut diamond moon stud style, and three spectacular XL Tidal Moons with gemstones that compliment this wild array of opal colors.

I hope you love these one of a kind beauties as much as I do, they were an absolute delight to make for you! Shop link for *Latest Drop* in profile ✨🌝
