Aurate, an NYC-based brand, offers fine jewellery with a high standard of sustainability. Founders Sophie Kahn and Bouchra Ezzahraoui prioritize quality materials for everyday wear. Aurate’s designs are inspired by New York City itself, and each piece is handmade in Manhattan using 100% recycled gold. Pieces are available in 14K gold, 18K gold, and 14K gold-plated vermeil.
Aurate’s sustainability efforts go far beyond their recycled gold, however. The line ethically and sustainably sources each of their additional materials, as well. Aurate tracks diamonds and precious gems with rigorous standards. Their mines provide fair wages, good working conditions, and respectful relationships with indigenous communities. Additionally, pearls are sourced from family-run farms with charitable initiatives and sustainable harvesting methods.
Aurate’s newest collection highlights their fine materials with lots of bold chains and rich gemstones. Designs range from understated to eye-catching, and there are options for every style.
The XL Gold Curb Chain Necklace is the perfect staple piece. This simple design is just bold enough to elevate an every-day look.
The Vintage Pear Cut Ring is available with your choice of gemstone, and provides an elegant pop of colour. This timeless piece is stunning both on its own and in a stack.
