The Girl Behind the Craft
Esperanza Solar is Solares Gems.
I am Esperanza Solar, a Miami native born to beautiful Cuban parents. I have always been a curious Gemini Sun and gentle hearted Pisces Moon, a lover of beauty and the occult and as a dedicated metaphysical practitioner, I have spent the past 12 years immersed in the study of religion, philosophy, astrology, human design, wellness, crystals, and a wide range of spiritual modalities.
My deep curiosity and commitment to holistic understanding have led me to work in several metaphysical and jewelry stores throughout South Florida and Oregon, where I gained valuable knowledge and hands-on experience shaping both my personal and professional practices, all inspiring the creation of my own intentionally handmade jewelry—infused with purpose, meaning, and energetic intention.
Solares Gems came to fruition after making birthday bracelets for my mom in 2020. My mom, along with the desire to create pieces that fit our bodies seamlessly were the catalyst and inspiration to bringing Solares Gems to life. I truly never believed creativity was my forte, but I very quickly realized when I started that this is a deep passion of mine and I feel so deeply grateful to be able to constantly learn and expand on every day. That was five years ago. Having started with humble tools: raw crystals, wire, resin, and dried flowers. Over time, my craft evolved, and today I focus on creating finer, tarnish-resistant pieces—elevated yet still deeply soulful.
Jewelry has always felt very divine to me. Jewelry is magical. Jewelry is adornment, spiritual and energetic protection, a talisman, a reminder of self-adoration, it's a promise of love, it's an heirloom or anniversary gift. It's not only a fashion accessory but a shield, a promise, a reminder....
My hope for my jewelry is for it to be accessible and customizable specifically for you, therefore if you're interested at the possibility of your very own custom-made and unique piece, please fill out this form here.
It’s a sacred honor to transform materials into something beautiful, meaningful, and made by hand—crafted from my heart to yours.
