Welcome to the world of Loren Hope, where enduring style and contemporary sensibility come together to create exquisite modern heirlooms.
Our Rhode Island design studio dreams up limited-run creations seasonally for confidence-boosting daily wear and finishing touches for the most major of moments.
The Loren Hope muse is a risk-taker with a penchant for artistry whose boldness is met equally with grace.
A party time essential, each piece is a conversation starter in its own right, encouraging self-expression and igniting a connection to others. If jewelry is a universal language, Loren Hope is fluent in spirited elegance.
A North Carolina native, Loren Barham grew up with a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world, which plays a major role in her design process still today. After relocating to the UK with her husband Aaron, she began to experiment with metal-smithing and developed the early stages of jewelry designs that would later become the Loren Hope line. Invigorated by the glamorous history of Newport, RI and the Ocean State’s rich past of jewelry-making, the couple set up shop and their headquarters in the coastal town upon their stateside return in 2013.
Loren's unapologetic use of color in her designs comes from her fine art background with her studied practice and innate sense of color theory. It’s been said that when putting on our pieces, one is also putting on a better mood - a testament to the power of jewelry and the science of color. Whether it’s hand-selecting crystals in various ombré tones to pairing unique combinations of semi-precious stones, color is a definitive quality of a Loren Hope piece.
An ode to timeless beauty, our bridal collection inspires the best version of the wearer on their most beautiful day. These refined and super sentimental details are intended to enhance, not overpower. Classic crystal, glass pearls and sprinkles of unexpected color dance across vintage-influenced creations made to be cherished for years to come.
As an extension of our jewelry-making, decor is another part of the Loren Hope lifestyle. With a decadent holiday collection of sparkly seasonal accents, tabletop furnishings and elaborate custom crystal mosaics, embellished homewares are always evolving. The cult-favorite butterfly series of special edition “specimens” is still just as popular after several years of taking flight.
We recently launched our line of Italian-crafted shoes and handbags featuring our signature crystal details to the Loren Hope collection. Simple in design and made with exceptional materials, putting on outstanding craftsmanship with fun-loving flair has never been easier. We are so excited to introduce more styles in the near future.
