Launched in 2009 by sisters Satya and Annah Stewart with long time friend Rachel Loren, Loren Stewart is a contemporary minimalist fine jewelry brand that strives to produce a blend of polished preppy and raw punk pieces. The Los Angeles-based brand's design, which focuses on modern art and synth pop retro nostalgia, was inspired by the "sights and sounds of the 80s." Every collection features a mix of staple and statement pieces, allowing wearers to own their individuality in unique ways, and be their own stylist. Their brand started out as an upcycled collection that was a "love letter to the idiosyncrasies and diversity that define Los Angeles," drawing inspiration from vintage gold jewelry.
