A glimpse inside the collection
Miller’ s story began in earnest in the late 1950s, when Sydell Lubin sat in the chair of young stylist and salon owner Arnold Miller for a hair appointment. A smitten Arnold asked her out on a date, and when she inquired“ which night”, his response was simply“ all of them.” One week and a whirlwind succession of dates later, they were engaged. Together they created Ardell, introducing eyelashes as a professional salon service, and later co-founded Matrix Essentials in 1980, the most innovative professional salon company and the largest manufacturer of professional hair and beauty products. After her husband’ s passing in the 90s, Miller took the helm of Matrix as CEO and President, leading the company to unprecedented success. A woman whose passion, drive, influence, and integrity touched more than seven million women per week internationally, Mrs. Miller was an inspiration and role model to women in business. A visionary entrepreneur, Sydell believed that beauty didn’ t stop at the hairline, which led her to create the day spa experience, accessible to all women.
Sydell Miller’ s style was confident and self-defined. She crafted an aesthetic where every detail was thoughtfully harmonized. For Sydell, fashion was about embracing joy, individuality, and a statement of elegance. Sydell wore each piece with a graceful confidence that allowed the jewelry’ s artistry to shine. Among the highlights is her stunning 22- carat Graff diamond ring; a reflection of her love for bold, statement jewelry. Just as fine art and design coexisted seamlessly in her home, her couture and jewelry collection allowed her to mix and match effortlessly, elevating her style for any occasion. Whether attending a black-tie gala in Palm Beach or hosting a private dinner at home, she had a natural ability to make each piece resonate with her refined sense of style.
