MEET THE ARTISAN

Hi!

Welcome to the shop, and thank you so much for stopping by! I'm excited to give you a glimpse into my jewelry studio and share a behind-the-scenes look at what happens here at Hope Noel Jewelry. I'm Hope Hera, the artisan behind the brand. At 27 years old, I'm a self-taught metalsmith, and I have the privilege of running my business from my cozy home studio in Clinton, Massachusetts. Here, I create unique, handcrafted pieces that reflect my love for design and the values that matter most to me—faith, family, and, of course, coffee! (You'll often find me working with an iced latte in hand.) My 16-year-old cat is usually nearby, adding her own brand of company to the creative atmosphere.

What began as a passion project in 2017 has since blossomed into a full-time career—or even two! I'm incredibly thankful for the flexibility my business provides, allowing me to stay home with my family while pursuing my creative passions. In my spare time, I’m raising my bilingual daughter alongside my husband. We love exploring Europe and Asia, embracing diverse cultures, and celebrating both my Italian-Japanese heritage and my husband's mixed European background. He was born in Romania and has lived in France, which adds another layer of inspiration to my designs. Nature and my love for Jesus also play a significant role in shaping my creativity and the foundation for this business.

At Hope Noel Jewelry, I specialize in demi-fine and fine jewelry—everything from earrings and necklaces to bracelets, rings, and even permanent jewelry. I use high-quality materials such as Sterling Silver, 14K Gold Fill, and 10-14K Solid Gold, paired with beautiful gemstones and pearls. Each piece is carefully crafted with love and intention, designed to encourage women to embrace their individuality.

As a mixed AAPI, woman-owned business, sustainability and size-inclusivity are incredibly important to me. I take great care in sourcing durable, affordable materials and offer size-inclusive options so that every woman can find something meaningful to her. My goal is to create jewelry that not only reflects my passion but fosters a deeper connection with my customers—one grounded in honesty, kindness, love, and faith in God.

Hope Noel Jewelry is more than just jewelry—it's about confidence, creativity, and making a personal connection. One of my greatest desires is to inspire others to recognize and embrace their unique, God-given talents. I want to show them that their passion can become the foundation for a fulfilling and meaningful career. Growing up, I didn’t have the support to fully pursue my love for art, and it took me years to return to it. Watching this business grow and supporting my family has been such a blessing, and I now hope to be the spark that encourages others to not only follow their passion but turn it into something impactful and profitable.

Thank you so much for allowing me to share my art with you. I hope to add a little sparkle to your everyday, and I can't wait to see how your unique style shines with Hope Noel Jewelry.

xoxo Hope
