Company HQ: Charlotte, North Carolina

Designer: Loren Barham

Inspired by her Grandmother’s thrift shop, Loren Barham recently decided to launch a line of upscale, modern, handcrafted jewelry. Loren, still enchanted by the hidden vintage jewelry gems discovered in her Grandmother’s store, has made a point of incorporating a vintage vibe into her rich, colorful modern designs. Her company, Loren Hope, prides itself in its excellent craftsmanship and use of fine materials, such as Austrian rhinestone accents and semi-precious stones, high-quality gold plating, and beautiful glass beads. But most importantly, Loren Hope jewelry is meticulously fashioned in the USA by hand.
