Jewellery aficionado Rosie Fortescue has built an empire on the belief that diamonds (or at least their lookalikes) should be for everyone. As the founder and creative force behind Rosie Fortescue Jewellery (RFJ), she has carved a niche for beautifully crafted, statement pieces that sparkle with the allure of fine jewellery—without the eyewatering price tag.
A self-confessed magpie, Rosie’s love affair with jewellery began long before she launched RFJ nine years ago. Recognising a gap in the market for high-quality, trend-led designs at an accessible price point, she introduced her now-iconic rainbow stones, and the rest, as they say, is history. Today, her pieces are beloved by tastemakers and fashion insiders alike, proving that everyday luxury is not only achievable but essential.
We caught up with the entrepreneur, designer, and tastemaker to talk all things sparkle, style, and what’s next for her ever-growing jewellery empire.
I love working in the jewellery industry because…
I make my customers feel good. There’s no better feeling than knowing I am putting the finishing touches on someone’s outfit and making them feel their absolute best to go and take on their day!
RFJ is best known for…
My Rainbow Emerald Cut Rings and Skeleton Studs. The Skeleton Studs are my personal favourite because they truly elevate any outfit. They’re delicate yet edgy, which is exactly what I love about jewellery—it should be wearable but still make a statement.
My biggest achievement to date is…
Continuing to do what I love every day. It really is such a blessing and such a joy!
I’m inspired by…
I always keep my eyes peeled wherever I go. Whether it’s on holiday, walking between meetings, or scrolling through vintage jewellery collections—anything can spark an idea!
The current jewellery trends I’m loving are…
I really feel like I’ve gone back to my roots with my new Eternity Collection. Jewellery that is timeless, goes with everything, and looks ten times more expensive than it costs! These pieces transition effortlessly from day to night, and I love the option to mix metals and stack rings for a more personalised look.
My favourite pieces from the collection are…
Right now, I’m obsessed with my new Round Stone Necklace, Bracelet, and Earrings. They’re so delicate and chic—perfect for layering or wearing alone. Truthfully, I designed them for myself to wear every day, but they’ve been a huge hit!
My favourite place in the world to skip the crowds is…
The South of France. I just adore St. Remy, Mausanne, Les Baux, and the surrounding areas—they are my absolute happy places!
The best person to follow on Instagram is…
Yhasmina Ferrera. Her style is always a 12/10, and she seems like the most genuine, divine woman!
And finally, what’s next for RFJ?
I’m launching some fun jewellery for summer incorporating freshwater pearls, as well as releasing my statement gold selection of hoops in silver since they’ve sold out so fast. I love listening to my customers—if the demand is there, I make it happen! Oh, and I have some chain belts coming, which I am BEYOND excited about!
