Matthew Gordy Stuller was born in Lafayette, Louisiana in 1951. He attended Our Lady of Fatima High School, where in his junior year he began an afterschool job doing part-time work for a local jeweler. Within a year, he had worked his way into the business of doing jewelry repair and sales, and in his senior year he began his own business in a corner office of his father's orthodontic suite.

At the age of 19, he developed his first wholesale line and began traveling the state of Louisiana developing business connections. Frustrated with the industry's slow delivery and service, he developed a business philosophy and program of supplying quality merchandise and service with nextday delivery.

Today, Matthew Stuller is the Founder and Chairman of Stuller Settings Inc., one of the largest jewelry manufacturing and distributing firms in the United States, and an industry leader in the domestic and international wholesale jewelry sector.
