Tuckernuck Tastemakers:
The Fortunato Sisters
March 4, 2026
Get inspired by the entrepreneurs and tastemakers we admire. Our latest feature: Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato, founders and designers behind jewelry and accessories brand Lizzie Fortunato.
Meet the Tastemakers
Based in New York City, sisters Lizzie and Kathryn lead their brand alongside a team of 18. Lizzie, the creative force behind the label, began designing jewelry as a passion project in college before launching the company in 2008. Kathryn joined two years later, bringing strategic vision and business expertise. Inspired by their travels around the world, the founders design pieces for women who are adventurers, collectors, and unapologetically themselves. This spring, we partnered with them on an exclusive capsule collection: a tight edit of nine unique pieces. A nod to the American West, the collection is designed to feel just as at home on city streets as it does in the mountains or on a beach getaway.

“We commute together every day and get coffee—from The Good Batch or Butler—before going our separate ways in the office.”

Make a Statement
Embrace a more-is-more necklace stack. This turquoise necklace is made of recycled African glass—no two dye lots are the same!
Mix Your Metals
Jewelry is meant to meant to be joyfully layered and fuss-free. Don’t be scared to mix metals. It’s subtle but still cool-girl.
Match Your Mood
Pair turquoise with neutrals and brown while it’s cold, then add gold and cream come spring to feel brighter and bolder.
