Behind the Brand

At the heart of Fortuna Stern Jewelry lies a deeply personal narrative.

Founder and designer Lauren Haas crafts modern heirlooms inspired by her Egyptian and German grandmothers. Her creations are born from misfortune and joy – like many immigrant families, Lauren's ancestors left behind cherished possessions on their journey to America before building a beautiful new life in America.

This sense of absence in her life sparked a profound appreciation for the heirlooms her friends treasured. She was captivated by the stories woven into each piece, passed lovingly from one generation to the next.

It's this sentiment that inspired Fortuna Stern – a brand dedicated to creating jewelry that transcends time and carries meaning.

Each Fortuna Stern piece is meticulously designed to become part of your family's story. Crafted with the finest metals and gemstones, these are not merely accessories, but vessels of love and intention, destined to be cherished by your loved ones for years to come and passed on to future generations.

True to its roots, every Fortuna Stern creation is brought to life in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles. The collection showcases the beauty of 18 carat yellow, white, and rose gold, as well as the enduring elegance of platinum.

With Fortuna Stern, Lauren invites you to start your own tradition of legacy and beauty – one exquisite piece at a time.
