About Laura J Finery

Founded in 2010 by seasoned designer Laura Jorn, Laura J Finery (LJF) is a luxury semi-precious and fine fashion jewelry brand that blends timeless elegance with modern sophistication.

With 14 years of experience, Laura has mastered the art of crafting distinctive pieces that seamlessly merge vintage-inspired craftsmanship with contemporary design. What began as a passion project at her kitchen table—while raising two young children—has since evolved into a brand that transcends borders, with LJF collections having sold in premier retailers across Texas and the U.K., showcased in New York City, and celebrated by leading fashion publications.

Headquartered in the vibrant Houston, TX area, LJF has built a loyal following for its impeccable quality and innovative designs. At LJF, we believe jewelry is more than an accessory—it's an expression of individuality. Our collections, including 14k gold fill, sterling silver, pave diamonds, vermeil, and signature pieces like our chain earrings and versatile wrap bracelets, are designed to enhance both the everyday and the extraordinary.

In 2017, LJF was recognized as one of the “5 Top Houston Handmade Jewelry Designers” by Houston Culture Map, and our work has been featured in the Fulshear/Katy Texas Relocation Guide & Directory (2019-2020).

In addition to showcasing at Metal and Smith’s private fine jewelry show in New York, LJF frequently partners with Houston’s elite for exclusive shopping events and charity functions, including at River Oaks Country Club and Weston Lakes Country Club. Laura J Finery proudly supports various charitable causes, regularly donating to auctions and raffles to help raise funds for organizations like The Diaper Foundation and 4Word Women.

 

Meet the Designer

A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Laura Jorn’s love for design began at an early age, influenced by her British mother’s extensive world travels and eclectic collection of accessories. Her upbringing fostered a deep appreciation for vintage fashion, which later informed the signature style of Laura J Finery.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, Laura's career started in the fast-paced DotCom world. However, her true calling emerged when she began curating and reselling vintage jewelry. With a sharp eye for history and an innate ability to identify the provenance of pieces, Laura quickly became an expert in the field. In 2009, after relocating to Midland, TX, Laura transitioned from reselling vintage to creating her own line of jewelry. Drawing inspiration from the intricate beauty of antique designs, Laura launched LJF and has continued to innovate and elevate her craft ever since.

Throughout her journey, Laura has balanced the demands of entrepreneurship with raising her family, building Laura J Finery into a celebrated brand while nurturing her two children. Today, Laura meticulously designs each piece from her home studio, collaborating with skilled artisans and manufacturers to bring her creative vision to life. With each collection, she aims to provide clients with a piece of jewelry that not only tells a story but also becomes part of their own.
