About Me

 


DREAM began in 2019 originally as Dream In Gold Jewelry. The name was created as a reminder to dream beyond the standard black and white mindset and value your dreams as if they were made of pure gold. At the time, Jazmin, the founder, was a seasonal worker traveling across the U.S.A. selling her handmade jewelry online as a fun side project while following her dreams to travel through all 50 states. Each piece of Dream In Gold Jewelry was made from old trinkets, forgotten treasures, or natural crystals, transformed into wearable art. The goal was to up-cycle and recreate luxury looks with sustainable materials. In 2020, Jazmin began selling through Etsy, Instagram, and her friend’s boutique, The Lemon Drop, in California. Though just a side hustle, her creations reached customers all of the world with orders from states as close as Michigan to countries as far New Zealand.

At the end of 2021, Jazmin settled down in Bangor, Maine, with her fiancé. She day dreamed of one day having her own shop and spent months exploring the area, studying neighborhoods, and photographing potential storefronts for her future shop. During her first couple of years in Bangor, Jazmin created jewelry from her apartment, sold at craft fairs, and worked multiple jobs; preparing taxes for H&R Block in the winter and serving tables in Bar Harbor during the summer. She began stocking her jewelry in locally owned shops throughout Maine, including Red Rabbit Bazaar and My Darling Boutique, while also teaching workshops and creating pieces for community events.

In 2024, Jazmin rented her first private studio space on the third floor of a building in downtown Bangor. Shortly after she introduced permanent jewelry as a service in her business becoming one of the first to offer it in the area. The service took off, and by the end of 2024 she was invited to rent a small room inside another business. In the spring of 2025 Jazmin was informed that she needed to move. She revisited her photo album of potential spaces and found the perfect location to open her first official storefront. Turning the space over in just one month, Jazmin opened DREAM in June of 2025.

What began as a side hustle grew into a DREAM creative hub that celebrates art, individuality, and community. Inside, you’ll find Jazmin’s own collections; Dream In Gold Jewelry, Permanent Jewelry, and Dream Charm Bar, alongside the work of over 20 talented artists from across the states. Now with her own store front, Jazmin hopes to again reach people across the world through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and WhatNot, not only for herself, but to shine a light on the artists she works beside.

DREAM is more than a shop, it’s a story of growth, passion, and believing in a day dream enough to make it a reality. Whether you visit the shop for the Dream In Gold collection or the Dream Charm Bar collection we hope you feel inspired to follow your creative dreams every time you visit. Thanks for reading! Happy Shopping!
