MEET THE ARTISAN

Hi!

I'm Hope, the maker behind Hope Noel Jewelry.

I'm a self-taught metalsmith, jewelry designer and mom working out of my home studio in Clinton, Massachusetts. What started as a creative outlet in 2017 has grown into a small business that allows me to do what I love while also being home with my family.

I've always loved creating beautiful things. I actually started making jewelry with Japanese seed beads and gemstones before eventually finding my way into metalsmithing. Over the years I've fallen in love with working with metal, gemstones, pearls and all the little details that make a piece feel special.

I'm half Japanese with Italian heritage and both are meaningful parts of who I am. My husband was born in Romania and has also lived in France, so between the two of us we've always had a love for travel, food and experiencing different cultures. We love exploring Europe and Asia with our daughter and finding inspiration wherever we go.

That's a big part of what I hope this business can give our family too: freedom. Freedom to create, freedom to spend more time together and eventually the freedom to travel and experience more of the world.

At Hope Noel, I create demi-fine and fine jewelry including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings and permanent jewelry. I work primarily with 925 sterling silver and 14K gold fill, along with a limited amount of 10-14K solid gold. I love incorporating gemstones and pearls and creating pieces that can become part of your everyday life.

Some pieces are simple and timeless. Others are made to celebrate something meaningful, whether that's a milestone, a special person, a season of life or simply something you love about yourself.

I want jewelry to feel personal.

My faith is also an important part of who I am and how I approach my work. It shapes the way I treat people, the way I run my business and the kind of community I hope to create around Hope Noel. I believe creativity is a gift and I'm incredibly grateful that I get to use mine to create something beautiful and meaningful for others.

As a small, woman-owned business, I care deeply about creating jewelry that is thoughtfully made, accessible and inclusive. I want you to feel comfortable here, whether you're looking for your first everyday necklace, building a ring stack, searching for something meaningful to give someone you love or choosing jewelry for one of the biggest days of your life.

Thank you for being here and for supporting my little corner of the internet. Every order, kind message, share and piece of jewelry you choose to wear means more to me than you probably realize.

I hope Hope Noel becomes a small part of your story!

xoxo Hope
