From discarded fishing nets to a collectible crafted with genuine Matara pearls.
What happens when something once discarded finds a new purpose?
At Matara, the answer is Paws and Pearls—a collectible that brings together ocean-conscious creativity, traditional craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty of genuine pearls.
Created from discarded fishing nets and ocean ropes, each piece is carefully upcycled and transformed by the skilled hands of the Moken community from the Surin Islands. Finished with authentic Matara pearls, every keychain carries a story of transformation—where what was once overlooked becomes something worth keeping.
Where Creativity Meets the Ocean
Paws and Pearls began with a simple idea: to look at materials differently.
Instead of seeing discarded fishing nets and ropes as waste, Matara reimagines them as the foundation of something new.
The result is a collectible that feels playful and contemporary, while remaining deeply connected to the ocean from which its materials originate.
At its heart, the creation reflects a different perspective on luxury—one that values not only what something becomes, but also the story of how it came to be.
Crafted by Hands, Connected by Stories
Every Paws and Pearls piece is woven by artisans from the Moken community of the Surin Islands, bringing human craftsmanship into every detail.
The handwoven form gives each piece its own character, while the addition of a genuine Matara pearl creates an unexpected meeting point between two elements of the ocean: material once returned to the sea as waste, and a natural gem created by the sea itself.
Ocean waste meets ocean gems.
And together, they become something entirely new.
More Than a Collectible
For Matara, Paws and Pearls is also about creating a different kind of relationship with customers.
Jewelry is often associated with significant milestones and special occasions. Paws and Pearls introduces another way to connect with the brand—through something smaller, more playful, and designed to become part of everyday life.
It is a piece that can travel with you, accompany your bag, or simply become a little reminder of a place, a moment, or a story worth remembering.
That makes each piece more than a product.
It becomes a conversation starter.
A keepsake.
A small piece of the Matara story that customers can carry with them.
A New Way to Stay Connected with Matara
In this sense, Paws and Pearls extends the Matara experience beyond the jewelry itself.
It creates an accessible entry point into the world of Matara—one that allows customers to discover the brand through craftsmanship, creativity, community, and the ocean.
And perhaps most importantly, it gives customers a reason to come back, discover the next piece, and continue collecting stories along the way.
Because meaningful relationships with a brand are not built only through what we wear.
Sometimes, they begin with something small enough to carry everywhere.
