Hi! I’m Ana Cortes, founder of Olivina Lua—a jewelry brand born from love, loss, and a passion for creativity.

I’m originally from Bogotá, Colombia, and now living in sunny Florida. Since I was little, I’ve always loved creating and selling things—cupcakes, art, embroidery—you name it. That passion led me to study Fashion Design and Patternmaking in Bogotá before moving to the U.S. with my family.

We started in Texas, then moved to Florida. Through it all, my loyal Dalmatian Luna was by my side. She was more than a pet—she was family, and we brought her with us from Colombia. After 13 beautiful years, she passed away. Losing her broke my heart in an inimaginable way, and I knew I had to honor her in a meaningful way.

After several business experiments, I discovered my love for jewelry. I wanted pieces that were beautiful, tarnish-free, adjustable, and made to last. While searching for the perfect name, I found Olivine, a natural stone known for promoting self-love and empowerment. That’s when everything clicked.

To honor Luna, I added Lua, which means “moon” in Portuguese. Olivina Lua is a tribute to her, and to every woman learning to love herself a little more each day.

Through Olivina Lua, I want to build a community that uplifts, empowers, and celebrates inner beauty. Thank you for being part of this journey!
