Provenance
Every Aurelia Solitaire is hallmarked, engraved with the year, and signed inside the band by the master goldsmith who carried it from wax to polish. Natural diamonds are Kimberley-Process certified and traceable to a single mine; lab-grown stones are IGI / GCAL graded.
A printed certificate of authenticity ships in the box. We also retain an archival photograph and bench note on file for the lifetime of the piece.
Materials & Hallmarks
Solid 18k gold (all colors) or 950 platinum, alloyed at our bench in California from 100% recycled metal. Each band is stamped inside with the metal hallmark, the Aurelia maker's mark, and the year of completion.
Weight: approximately 3.8g (band) plus stone.
Sizing & Fitting
We ship a complimentary ring sizer for first-time clients. The Solitaire ships in your size and is complimentary to resize one full size in either direction within a year of delivery.
For sizes outside US 3.5–10, allow an extra two weeks at the bench.
Lifetime Care
Every Aurelia piece is entitled to complimentary cleaning, polishing, prong-tightening, and rhodium re-plating (white gold) for the lifetime of the piece. We recommend an annual check at the bench — bring it in or send it via insured courier.
Shipping & Insurance
Fully insured signature shipping is included on every order over $5,000. The Solitaire ships in a hand-lettered presentation box, wrapped in raw silk, inside a cedar slipcase.
US delivery in 5–7 business days from completion. International via FedEx Priority, fully insured, all duties prepaid.
Made by hand
The Solitaire No. 3 is the ring I made for my wife. Every one since has been made the same way — by one set of hands, from a single piece of metal, in a single afternoon.

What our clients say after the proposal.
From clients
★★★★★
My partner and I went in for an appointment expecting to walk out with a referral and ended up reserving the Solitaire that same afternoon. The four-prong basket sits flush — no catching on cardigans, no rotation through the day. The engraving inside the band is hand-cut, not laser, and the serifs are exactly what we asked for.
★★★★★
I proposed at Point Lobos at sunrise. The stone catches the light differently depending on how she's holding her hand — there's a moment when it almost flares blue. Margaux walked me through carat-versus-cut for forty minutes over the phone before I came in. I'd send any friend here.
★★★★★
Six months in and I still notice it every time I wash my hands. One small note: the knife-edge band took a week or so to feel "mine" — it's narrower than my old eternity, and the profile sits higher on the finger than I expected from the product photos. Nothing wrong with it, just a heads-up to size up a quarter if you're between sizes.
★★★★★
We sent in a stone from her grandmother and the bench reset it into the Solitaire in five weeks. The bench notes that came in the box — the wax photos, the polish times — made the whole thing feel like a record, not a transaction. The printed appraisal slotted straight into our insurance schedule without any back-and-forth.
