Our Materials

Beautiful materials, chosen with care.

When I choose what goes into each Esperanza piece, I look for beauty, quality, and the way everything works together. I want what I create to feel delicate, refined, and special, down to the smallest detail.

You can find the specific materials used in each piece on its product page.

These photographs are close-ups to show the details of each material. Materials are not shown at actual size, and colors may appear slightly different in person depending on lighting and screen settings.

Gold-Filled

Gold-filled details have a substantial layer of real gold bonded to a base metal. I choose them for their warm color, durability, and polished finish.

European Crystals

I choose fine European crystals for their clarity, color, and delicate sparkle. Some designs have an AB finish for a soft iridescent effect; others let the crystal color stand on its own.

Genuine Natural Silk

I choose genuine natural silk for its softness, strength, and subtle sheen. It brings a light, delicate feel to the designs that use it.
