A German emigrant, Hans Stern (1922-2007) founded H. Stern whilst living in
Brazil in 1945, at just 23 years old.While working as a typist for a trading company
he fell in love with precious gemstones and began a small-scale gemstone trading
office in Rio de Janeiro;This trading office quickly developed into gemstones
cutting and jewellery manufacturing. By 1964, the company became renowned
for the creation and promotion of interest in colour gemstones internationally.
Hans Stern was hailed as ‘the king of coloured stones’ byTime Magazine. He was
also the only Latin American brand to participate inVictoria and Albert Museum
jewellery exhibition. It was, however, the 1980’s launch of the Catherine Deneuve
collection, inspired by the muse of Brunel’s‘Belle du Jour’, which catapulted H.
Stern’s successor and his brand to success and led his brand to win numerous de-
sign awards. H. Stern soon became the jeweller of the stars with his pieces making
regular appearances on Hollywood red carpets. H. Stern is currently the biggest
jeweller in Brazil and Latin America, so much so that top fashion editorials such as
Vogue, Elle, Marie-Claire and Harper’s Bazaar have all featured H. Stern creations.
Today Ronaldo and Roberto Stern, the sons of Hans Stern, carry on their father’s
legacy, continuing to push the boundaries of jewellery design and share their love
and appreciation for precious gemstones.
