Our Philosophy
We like our metal rare
Gold seems to be everywhere, but gold, in fact, is very rare. Created from colliding neutron stars in outer space, gold found its way to molten earth billions of years ago via asteroids. Nothing since has come close. Unlike diamonds, which can now be grown in a laboratory, gold cannot be made at any scale, at any price, by anyone. When you purchase our high karat gold jewelry, you will possess one of the rarest metals on earth.

Gold in full color
The higher the gold karat, the deeper the color and the richer the piece. That is why we work in high karat gold: 18 karat at 75 percent gold, 20 karat at 83.3 percent, 22 karat at 91.7 percent, and pure 24 karat. The difference is not subtle. Our pieces are solid gold, never plated and never vermeil. By comparison, 14 karat is 58.3 percent gold and 10 karat is 41.7 percent. Whatever makes up the difference is not gold. People have designed, made and worn high karat gold for millennia. We are in good company.

Gold lasts
A piece of high karat gold holds more material value than almost anything else you can wear. Fashion moves on. Gold does not. The metal in a piece you buy today is the same metal in a hundred years, unchanged by time. That is the rare part. Most of what you buy begins losing value the moment it comes home. Nothing anyone does to gold makes it less gold. Gold stays gold.

Auvere jewelry you enjoy now may be handed down tomorrow, as rare and as fine as it was in your hands. Precious metals remain precious.
