The history of the H.Stern jewelry brand began in 1945 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Initially, it was a small trading office for the sale of precious stones, founded by 23-year-old German-born Hans Stern (1922-2007). The company soon expanded into jewelry making and gem cutting. The company’s craftsmen created jewelry by hand using gold, platinum, diamonds and the finest precious stones. Noteworthy, the beautiful marking and logo include the Gothic letters H. STERN.
In December 1963 Hans established his family business in the USA. H. Stern Jewelers, Inc., located at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, headquartered on Fifth Avenue, New York, USA. The business was a great success. The very next year, Time magazine named Hans Stern “the king of colored stones.”
In 1964, Stern organized a jewelry fashion show in Brazil that eventually led him to the Victoria and Albert Museum Jewelry Exhibition in London and worldwide recognition. Also, his jewelry has graced the pages of prestigious fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire and many others. Among his fans were famous musicians, artists, models, Hollywood and European stars. One of them, in particular, was the French actress Catherine Deneuve, who inspired the designer to create a jewelry collection in the 1980s, named after her.
Today, Hans Stern’s sons, Roberto and Ronaldo Stern, continue the family business. The company owns hundreds of boutiques and subsidiaries headquartered in major cities around the world.

Noteworthy, one of Stern’s favorite designs has become a star. And this is for reason, since the German word “Stern” in Portuguese means “star”. In addition, many celebrities prefer rings, necklaces or earrings from this collection.
