Lizzie Fortunato Jewels

Fashion Accessories ManufacturingNew York, United States0-1 Employees

Lizzie Fortunato is a New York City-based accessories brand founded by twin sisters Elizabeth and Kathryn Fortunato in 2008. Based in Soho, NYC, our passionate 14-person team has grown the business to one of the most recognized costume jewelry brands. Lizzie Fortunato sells to ~75 wholesale accounts including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Saks Direct, Intermix, Shopbop, Moda Operandi, and a range of high-end domestic and international boutiques.

Lizzie Fortunato collections include hand-crafted statement jewelry, 14-karat fine jewelry, belts, scarves, and other accessories. As we’ve expanded our offerings, we’ve remained intentional about producing only what we can sell. Given the limited, recycled, and remotely sourced nature of many of our materials, once a piece sells out, it’s typically gone for good. We consider our creations coveted “art objects” to be displayed and enjoyed even when they’re not being worn.

Our collections are designed to tell a story and to transport the wearer. Travels to Morocco, India, Japan, Italy, Mexico, and beyond — as well as fine art and architecture — have inspired our pieces, and we strive to champion artisanal craftsmanship through our designs.

It is the sum of materials and time that go into our pieces that makes them luxurious. We employ a team of 14 in our Soho, NY studio, as well as a large network of skilled makers — metalsmiths, embroiderers, polishers, enamelers, stone setters, belt makers, and more — across New York City. 

We also rely on a small but mighty team of expert jewelry-makers to carefully assemble our pieces, many of whom are women, and moms, who are able to work for us from home in order to look after kids and family. We take immense pride in our uniquely local, piecemeal, and intentional production approach.

We pride ourselves in dressing women who follow their own paths, not trends — trailblazers, adventurers, collectors, artists, innovators, intellectuals, and dreamers, who dress to tell a story.
