Gold, made for every day.

The house
We make jewelry the slow way: a few pieces at a time, in solid gold, with nothing added that the piece does not need.
Aurelle is a small house with one salon and one workshop behind it. Every ring, chain and hoop begins as recycled gold grain and leaves as something you can wear in the shower, to the market and to dinner.
We keep the collections short on purpose. When a design earns its place it stays, so the ring you choose today can be matched, stacked or repaired by us for as long as you own it.
The collections
Four families, one gold.
Everything is made in 18k yellow gold as standard. White and rose gold are made to order.

The craft
Made at one bench, by hand, start to finish.
There is no factory behind Aurelle. The workshop sits behind the salon, and you are welcome to look through the glass while a piece is being made.
- I
The gold
We work only in recycled 18k gold, refined back to pure grain and alloyed in the workshop. Solid all the way through, so it can be polished and resized for decades.
- II
The stones
Diamonds, sapphires and freshwater pearls are chosen one at a time, by eye, for warmth and life. We tell you where each one came from and how it was cut.
- III
The making
Each piece is forged, filed, set and polished by the same pair of hands. The hammered finish is struck by hand, which is why no two surfaces match.
Bespoke commissions
Something made only for you.
An engagement ring, a stone from a grandmother's brooch reset, a pair of bands that belong together. Tell us what you have in mind and we will draw it with you.
- 01
A conversation
An unhurried hour in the salon, or by video, to talk about the wearer, the budget and the feeling.
- 02
Drawings and stones
Within two weeks you see hand drawn designs and a small selection of stones chosen for you.
- 03
The making
Six to eight weeks at the bench. You are welcome to visit and see your piece take shape.
Commissions begin at $2,400. The first conversation is free and commits you to nothing.
Care and promises
What we promise, plainly.
Gold lasts. Our part is to make sure the piece around it does too. These are the promises of the house, and they come with everything we make.

Thirty days to decide
Wear it at home, in your own light. Unworn pieces from the collections can be returned or exchanged within thirty days.

Repairs at our own bench
A snapped chain or a loose stone is mended where it was made. If the fault is in our making, the repair is ours to cover.
