For many, growing up with a twin means having a built-in best friend. For Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato specifically, growing up with a twin means having a built-in best friend and business partner. Inspired by the following she had fostered while making jewelry in college, Lizzie launched her namesake brand in 2008 with Kathryn’s help. Now, they work together as full time entrepreneurs and are committed to creating luxurious pieces–from handcrafted statement necklaces to fine jewelry–that champion intentional production. In this interview, we talk about how Lizzie and Kathryn built Lizzie Fortunato Jewels as co-founders, their advice for new entrepreneurs, and staying true to yourself as a business owner.
Don’t miss this episode where we discuss:
- Why Lizzie began making jewelry and how she and Kathryn developed the blueprints for a future business while in college
- The importance of authenticity for longevity and why Lizzie doesn’t focus on trends as a designer
- How one $10,000 check from Kathryn gave Lizzie the launchpad she needed to expand the business and how that check has remained the brand’s only funding to date
- The importance of community, mentors, and strengthening your support network, and how Lizzie and Kathryn work together as co-founders and sisters
