Alonica Matthews

Hi, I’m Alonica! I’m an Augusta native, Registered Respiratory Therapist, and the owner of Gilded Earth Jewelry Studio. After spending a few years living and working in Atlanta and Hawaii, I made my way back home in February 2026 to get married and begin a new chapter of life. I started Gilded Earth in 2025 simply because I love jewelry and wanted a creative outlet of my own. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d fall in love with everything that came along with it! I’ve always had a heart for people, and this business has given me another way to connect, share stories, and be part of little moments that mean so much. Being able to grow Gilded Earth in the community I grew up in makes it all the more special. I’m so happy to be home and look forward to meeting you!
