Jewelry by leading Indian designers Sustainably made

FAQ

About Aulerth

What makes Aulerth’s jewelry different?

Aulerth’s products are couture-inspired and consciously made. We partner with leading designers, and manifest their signature along with meticulous craftsmanship into our products. We focus on material choices that are environmentally more responsible than their counterparts without compromising design integrity, producing environmentally (materially) conscious jewelry with an inimitable finish.

Is Aulerth’s jewelry precious?

Materials may have intrinsic value eg. gold and gemstones, but with our changing values: will the meaning of jewelry always have the same weight? The definition of value needs to expand. This is why we are progressive, we value design, the designer, creation, their ingenuity, and unique creative expression over all else. Ours is a new measure of prestige through exceptional style and distinction. The flourishing of creativity is limited by what we choose to admire, value, and select for ourselves. We’re inviting you to see things the way we do. Raising collective standards that inspire inventiveness. Aulerth’s jewelry is hence what we call, progressively precious.

How is Aulerth’s jewelry more responsible?

Our jewelry is made from recycled base metals, collected from industrial use, and repurposed. We meticulously choose our stones ensuring they carry a minimal to zero mining footprint and ecological damage.

We adhere to the REACH standards for responsible jewelry production, and we only work with ateliers who share our compliance standards (materials, processes, working conditions, compensation, labor rights). And going further, we actively work closely with our ateliers through the materials sourcing process (metals and stones). We’ve integrated our organizations seamlessly to enable us to work with them closely for achieving holistic outcomes: minimal mining footprints & recycled metals.

As far as possible we’ve used recycled paper and board in our packaging, and are exploring options to completely do so. And in the next 2 years, we will offset our carbon footprint entirely.

We are also advocates for the slow fashion movement which is thoughtful, intentional, at its core. As such we do not endorse excessive production or overcomplicated supply chains, opting instead for a transparent and curated inventory.

What does sustainability in jewelry mean?

Sustainability can mean different things at different stages in the jewelry supply chain. It means transparent and ethical sourcing practices, the use of sustainable materials, treatments, and working conditions of the laborers for both the mining and jewelry production parts. And finally, it can mean that you as a client making an informed and responsible choice.

What is Aulerth’s approach to sustainability?

While the spectrum of sustainability issues is covered - Aulerth’s approach to sustainability is specifically centered on minimizing the mining footprint of its jewelry. Our jewelry is made from base metals, that are recycled from industrial use and repurposed. We meticulously choose our stones ensuring they carry a minimal to zero mining footprint and ecological damage.

We need to address the role jewelry needs to play to deal with the urgency of climate change. Each year approximately 3,000-4,000 tonnes of gold are mined globally, each ton of gold emitting 38,100 tons of carbon dioxide. Further, a single 9-gram 22 karat plain gold ring would have generated over 20T of toxic waste including cyanide and mercury pollution – that’s nearly 6 bn tons of toxic waste when extrapolated, per year. Besides the emissions and toxic waste generation, mining for gold & gemstones contributes to habitat destruction and ecological damage, socio-cultural upheaval, and overall accounts for 95% carbon footprint of the jewelry industry.

While achieving a net-zero impact can be a collective industry goal, we are all far from it. We only know what we are capable of doing, and hope to lead by example. The more visibility we have on the issues we are conscious of the more solutions we can explore. We will always focus on a net positive change.

How is our jewelry made?

We pursue exceptional artistry by widening the potentialities of design through technology, conscious materials, and forms.


The first step is the seed of a collection – a set of inspirations that would showcase the designer’s signature, in a way that is currently relevant. The journey of translating a designer’s couture signature into artistically engineered jewelry then begins with the designers’ ingenuity and creative expression, which is transformed by our jewelry experts into timeless designs; these, in turn, are rendered as prototypes with the help of 3D modeling tech. We then work closely with our skilled ateliers to source the right stones to bring the designs to life, finally casting the progressively precious jewels you see at Aulerth.

How do I care for my jewelry?

To ensure your Aulerth jewels retain their quality for as long as possible, store them in a cool and dry place, preferrably in its original packaging. Do not bend or fold the jewelry while storing. Keep your jewelry away from perfume, hairspray, soap, water and even lotion, as these can dull the sheen of your metal or cause damage to the stones. Use the microfibre polishing cloth that is given with every box to gently clean the jewelry as and when required. And finally, we recommend, while dressing up, you wear your jewelry on last, as a finishing touch to an outfit and take it off first.
