A native of New Orleans, Hope Meyer’s passion for jewelry started at a young age. Growing up in a family full of girls who loved sparkly things, someone once said they needed a jeweler in the family and Hope lovingly answered the call. Her love for quality, fine jewelry has only grown over her 30+ years in the industry.

Hope graduated from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) as a gemologist in 1991 and spent time in the jewelry industry in NYC before returning to her hometown and working as a buyer at an antique shop on Royal Street in the French Quarter

Hope founded HGM Fine Jewelry in 1997 to make quality, fine jewelry accessible to her clients at the best prices. Through her travels and sources all over the world, Hope continues to curate a magnificent collection of one of a kind contemporary, antique and estate jewelry as well as designing custom pieces for clients old and new.

When not in her shop on Magazine Street in New Orleans or traveling to source pieces for HGM Fine Jewelry clients, Hope is happiest spending time with her husband, 2 kids, extended and friends.
