Welcome to Hopeful Beads, custom jewelry handcrafted and designed by Hope Bray. Established in 2014, Hopeful Beads strives to create high quality jewelry affordable.

What was once an afternoon craft project with my Mémère, Hopeful Beads has grown in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Today, Hopeful Beads is worn all over the United States and in Europe. As this venture has evolved over the years, my mission has stayed the same: to create custom and handmade jewelry that is affordable.

Applying the practice of architecture, jewelry became an product and expression of exploring architectural concepts on a smaller scale, taking inspiration from my surroundings. Craft, quality materials and attention to detail sets Hopeful Beads apart from the rest.

Each piece is handmade and crafted especially for you.

Hope
