The collections

Bespoke commissions

A ring made for one finger.

More than half of what leaves Aurelia is commissioned. We work from a single conversation — sometimes a sketch on a napkin, sometimes a stone passed down from a grandmother — and build outward from there. Eight to twelve weeks, beginning to end.

  • 01

    Consultation

    A 90-minute conversation in our atelier (or by video). We sketch, talk through stones, metal, scale, and budget. No deposit.

  • 02

    Design & CAD

    Two refined sketches, then a CAD rendering and a printed resin proof in your hand within three weeks. Revisions included.

  • 03

    Stones & metal

    We source from our trusted partners — conflict-free natural diamonds, certified lab-grown, or your own family stones reworked.

  • 04

    Bench & setting

    One master goldsmith carries the piece from wax to polish. Six to ten weeks at the bench, photographed at every stage.

Provenance

Sourced responsibly. Made by hand.

Every stone, every gram of gold, and every set prong in this atelier can be traced — back to a mine, a refinery, a single set of hands. Lab-grown options available for every commission.

Stones

Sourced responsibly

Every natural diamond is Kimberley-Process certified and traceable to a single mine. We work with two partners we have visited in person.

Metal

Recycled, refined

All gold is 100% recycled, refined to 18k in California, and re-alloyed at our bench. No newly mined gold enters the atelier.

Hands

Made by goldsmiths

Three master goldsmiths, each with 20+ years at the bench. Every commission is carried by a single hand from wax to polish.

Client stories

Held, worn, passed down.

A small selection of recent commissions and the moments they were made for.

Margaux sketched a setting for my grandmother's emerald in our first hour together. Six weeks later it was on my hand. I haven't taken it off since.

Engagement ring · 2024

Aurelia reworked my mother's tennis bracelet for our tenth anniversary — same stones, modern setting. It's the most thoughtful gift I've ever given.

James & Priya N.

Anniversary commission · 2024

I wanted a quiet pair of studs for my daughter's eighteenth. We sat in the atelier for an hour. They arrived in a hand-lettered box. She cried.

Frequently asked

The questions that come first.

How do I get sized properly?
We send a complimentary ring sizer to any address before your first appointment. For commissions outside the Bay Area, we can also book a 15-minute video sizing session with one of our designers.
What is your return policy?
Ready-to-wear pieces from the collection can be returned in original condition within 30 days for a full refund. Bespoke commissions are non-refundable but covered by our lifetime resizing and re-styling service.
What lifetime services are included?
Every Aurelia piece is entitled to complimentary cleaning, polishing, prong-tightening, and rhodium re-plating (where applicable) for the lifetime of the piece. Bring it in once a year — or whenever it needs it.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We partner with Affirm for 6, 12, and 24-month financing on any piece. For bespoke commissions above $10,000, we can also offer a custom milestone-based payment plan.
Are your diamonds ethically sourced?
Every natural diamond is Kimberley-Process certified and traceable to a single mine. We also offer certified lab-grown diamonds (IGI / GCAL) for every setting. Our gold is 100% recycled and refined in California.
Can you use my family's stones?
Often, yes. We'll assess the stone's condition, suggest a setting, and walk through any structural considerations at your first consultation. Reworking family stones is more than half of what we do.
How long does a bespoke commission take?
Eight to twelve weeks from first sketch to final piece, depending on stone sourcing and complexity. We'll give you a firm timeline at the end of your consultation.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship fully insured via FedEx International Priority. Bespoke commissions are hand-delivered when possible to clients in New York, Los Angeles, London, and Paris.
