Black Owned Jewelry Brand That You Need To Know About: Auvere
Happy Wednesday, my fellow fashion lovers. I hope that all of you are doing well on this hump day and being positive towards yourself and others.
As many of you know, I'm a gold jewelry girlie and I make no apologies about it at all. I just believe that gold jewelry looks on my dark skin tone. I found out about the Auvere while I was on the Black En Vogue Instagram page a few years ago and I thought that I would tell you lovely people about this brand. The story of Auvere is a love story. It starts with our designer and co-founder, Gina Love, and her love of design, photography, gold jewelry, and leather goods. But that love story reached another level when she met our other co-founder, Steven Feldman.
When Gina met Steven, she was a New York City-based real estate lawyer with a secret. On their first date, Steven learned that ever since she was a child, Gina had been nursing a passion for design and photography. Gina admitted to Steven that while practicing law fulfilled the practical and analytical side of her brain, she could no longer deny her overwhelming desire for a creative life. Indeed, after honing her design and branding skills during nights, weekends, and vacation time spent in classes at Parsons New School, Gina founded Peryton, a fine leather goods brand. She also confessed that she was the anonymous figure behind the NYC-centric photo blog, The Photodiarist. Steven was both impressed and intrigued.
Steven was no stranger to changing careers. After spending over two decades on Wall Street, he had also sought something new. Not long after the Great Recession of 2009, Steven co-founded a successful precious metals investment platform - an endeavor that exposed him to the unmatched beauty and potent investment power of physical gold. With her old life as a lawyer in the rearview mirror, Gina delved completely into the unexpected opportunity to create, alongside Steven, something even more precious and lasting than anything she had ever done before - jewelry made from True 22 and Pure 24 karat gold. They launched Auvere in October 2017.
They think their name says a lot about who they are and what they do. Auvere (pronounced Oh-Vair) derives from the Italian word “avere,” which means “to have, to own, to hold, to wear and to receive.” Our name also combines AU, the symbol of gold, with the Latin word “vere,” which means true. True Gold. To be owned, held, worn, given, and received. Auvere celebrates the art of handcrafted gold jewelry in its purest forms – 22 and 24-karat gold. The allure of Auvere’s gold jewelry lies not only in its lustrous hue but also in bold design and exceptional craftsmanship.
The very moment that I saw the Astra Bangle, I knew that I had to have it. With a pair of orbs on each side, this bangle is set in 22k polished gold. The Astra Bangle is priced at $1,400.00.
