Aurate New York
About the brand
At Aurate, they believe everyone deserves jewelry as worthy as they are; pieces built to last, priced with refreshing honesty, and made with care for both people and the planet. Founded by longtime friends who met in grad school, Sophie Kahn and Bouchra Ezzahraoui, Aurate was born from the simple truth that no one should have to choose between looking good and doing good. Together, they set out to create fine jewelry with a contemporary edge, the highest quality craftsmanship, and ethical practices, all at prices that make luxury feel delightfully attainable. Every piece is handmade using recycled gold, conflict-free diamonds, and sustainably sourced pearls, crafted by generational artisans in New York City and beyond. Each delicate detail is obsessively considered and rigorously tested to ensure it shines for a lifetime. Sophie’s background in fashion and Bouchra’s expertise in finance created the perfect alchemy to transform the fine jewelry market into one centered on empowerment, self-purchase, and enduring style. At Aurate, your conscience sparkles just as brightly as your jewels.
