Who owns HOPE & RAYE?

HOPE & RAYE is owned and founded by McKenzie Ward, a jewelry designer based in the Atlanta metro area. McKenzie handcrafts each piece in her studio, creating unique gemstone jewelry with a focus on quality, craftsmanship, and personalized design. HOPE & RAYE was founded in 2025.

How much does HOPE & RAYE jewelry cost?

HOPE & RAYE jewelry pieces range from $60 to $400. All pieces are handcrafted and made to order using high-quality materials including 18k gold-filled metals, sterling silver, natural gemstones, and genuine pearls. Our upcoming Mini Collection launching in early 2026 will offer pieces starting at lower price points.

How will my HOPE & RAYE order be packaged?

Each piece arrives in our signature HOPE & RAYE packaging, complete with a soft pull-out box and complimentary polishing cloth. All HOPE & RAYE pieces ship ready to gift or keep.

Will HOPE & RAYE jewelry tarnish?

No! Because HOPE & RAYE jewelry is made with gold-filled components (not gold-plated) or sterling silver, your pieces are highly resistant to tarnishing, fading, and wear. Gold-filled jewelry contains 100x more gold than gold-plated pieces and won't chip, flake, or tarnish under normal wear.

Yes! HOPE & RAYE offers customizations on select pieces including clasp changes, metal changes, alternate lengths, personalized charms with initials, and special orders for weddings, sororities, and bridal parties. Visit the Custom Orders page at hopeandraye.com to submit a request.

How should I care for my HOPE & RAYE jewelry?

To extend the life of your HOPE & RAYE piece, avoid contact with water for pieces containing semiprecious stones. Some gold-filled chains can be worn in water without concern. Avoid extended exposure to perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals. Store your jewelry in the velvet pouch provided, and gently cleanse with the polishing cloth included in all orders.
