Loren Hope Jewels. I die. "Jewelry design has always found a way into my life. One of my fondest memories as a little girl is playing in my Grandmother's thrift shop. She would let me plunder around for hours and I would take apart all sorts of old jewelry and re-assemble the baubles into new works of art. I am also a huge fan of vintage jewelry. I have always been intrigued with antiques and relics from our past... the colors, craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail in vintage jewelry are constant inspirations for me."-Loren.
