FoundRae was founded in 2015 by Creative Director Beth Hutchens. Hutchens was born in Ohio, raised in Texas, and found her true home in New York when she was 21, where she has lived ever since. She co-founded Rebecca Taylor at the age of 23. Twenty years later, she sold the brand and launched FoundRae – a collection of modern heirlooms that serve as tools of self-expression and self-discovery.

Hutchens is a member of the CFDA, and industry honors include her nomination for the 2021 "Jewelry Design of the Year", 2019 “Emerging Designer of the Year” by the CFDA, a recipient of the 2018 Town & Country Jewelry Award for “Breakthrough of the Year” and a GEM Award nominee for Retail Excellence in 2020.
