Fortune

About the Fortune Pattern

Introduced in 1939 by 1847 Rogers Bros, the Fortune pattern arrived at a moment when the world was shifting — and its design reflects that blend of hope, resilience, and refined beauty. With its soft geometric lines and understated floral accents, Fortune feels like a bridge between the boldness of the Art Deco era and the gentler styles that followed.

There’s a quiet optimism in this pattern. It’s not flashy or ornate; instead, it carries a sense of calm confidence, like a small reminder that beauty can be found even in uncertain times.

Design Details

The Fortune pattern is known for its:

  • elegant vertical lines
  • subtle floral detailing
  • balanced, symmetrical silhouette
  • softly sculpted handle tip

Its design is clean but expressive — a perfect blend of structure and softness. The raised details catch the light beautifully, making it a lovely choice for jewelry that feels both vintage and modern.

Did You Know?

The Fortune pattern was produced exclusively by 1847 Rogers Bros, a division of the International Silver Company. Although many silverplate patterns from the late 1930s share similar Deco‑inspired lines, no other manufacturer created a pattern with this name — making Fortune uniquely identifiable once you know its details.
