Somewhere there is a mountain that stands tall and strong. Buried deep inside under mounds of stone and coal, there lays a diamond. She’s rough and rugged, but she waits and hopes. Because one day there is a noisy commotion as big hands reach in and pull her out. “She’s a beauty,” they say. But no one would know it because she’s covered with blackness and she cannot shine. But she waits and hopes. Then one day gentle hands reach over and wipe the soot away. She’s cut and polished and set on a throne of gold. No matter what any one says, she’s a diamond and she knows so. She waits, she hopes. You’re a diamond hidden in a mound of stone. Some days you don’t think you can shine, but just wait, just hope. Because one day, gentle hands will reach over and wipe the soot away. You’ll be cut and polished and set on a throne of gold where you will shine. But you must wait, you must hope.

Espero. I wait. I hope.



We’re two sisters who believe there’s a diamond inside every girl. We made Espero because we believe you shine everyday as you learn to love who you are, no matter how far you are from perfect. All the moments of your life are what sharpens and cuts you into a perfect gem. We believe you are worth waiting for, we believe that you deserve the absolute best. The best diamonds are the ones who know how to wait, how to hope for the day when they will shine from their throne of gold. Espero is a celebration. We’re celebrating being a woman, we’re celebrating being beautiful, romantic, and mysterious. We’re celebrating pink and flowers and pearls and sleep overs full of whispered secrets. We’re celebrating the nights we lie awake, even the tears, the unsent letters, and the butterflies. We want you to be beautiful, but we want you to do it right. We want you to shine, but you must wait and hope.
