Hey there! Welcome to Hope and Desire, my little corner of the internet where I showcase my handmade jewellery, crystals, gemstones, and other beautiful creations that I find inspiring. I am so excited to share my love of unique and handmade items with you.
You may have noticed that I also feature products from some of my friends in the local jewellery and lapidary community. I am proud to support other artisans and help bring their beautiful creations to a wider audience.
I have a personal story that I would like to share with you.
For many years, I have suffered from a chronic genetic illness that has left me feeling like a hermit trapped in my own room, but recently, I had a close brush with mortality, which gave me a new perspective on life. I realized that I wanted to rejoin the community, become more social, and dive headfirst into my love of creating things.

That’s where Hope and Desire comes in. This online store has been a true passion project for me, and I have poured all of my creative energy into each and every piece that I make or select. My hope is that you will find something here that speaks to you and brings a smile to your face.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my online store. I hope you find something that you love as you explore the unique and beautiful items that I have to offer.
