A Studio in London
Jewellery shaped by your story.
AuraFine is a small studio working out of London, designing jewellery that begins with a sound that matters to you — a song, a voice note, a heartbeat from a hospital scan — and ends as the actual silhouette of a ring you can wear.
Why we exist
Most jewellery comes from a catalogue.
A century of design has settled into a few well-loved shapes — the eternity, the signet, the solitaire — copied a thousand times and offered to a thousand strangers. There is nothing wrong with them. They simply are not yours.
AuraFine takes a different premise. The piece you wear should belong only to you, because it could only have come from you. The recording is not engraved on the band, nor stamped into it. It is the band. Wave by wave, breath by breath, silence by silence — the sound is the geometry, and the geometry is the object.
How a piece comes to be
A short account, told in three.
The work is slow on purpose. From the moment we hear from you to the moment a small green box arrives at your door, four to six weeks pass — most of it spent in the hands of people, not machines.
- I.
You give us a sound.
Anything between five and thirty seconds. A wedding song. A grandparent reading a postcard. The first cry. A heartbeat. We accept any common audio file and we never use your recording for anything other than your ring.
- II.
We trace its shape.
In the studio, we read the recording the way a cartographer reads a coastline — every rise, every hush, every breath becomes part of the form. No two recordings have ever produced the same silhouette, nor will they.
- III.
We cast it in precious metal, by hand.
The shape travels to a small atelier in France, where expert artisans cast it in solid sterling silver and finish each piece by hand. From there it is sent to you in a small green box, by Royal Mail Special Delivery.
Where the work happens
Designed in London. Made in France.
We design every piece in our studio in London. The casting and finishing is done in a small atelier in France, by jewellers who have spent a working life with the lost-wax tradition. They know what their hands are doing in a way that takes a generation to learn — and it shows in the quietest places, on the inside of the band, where your finger meets the metal.A heavier piece will carry a recognised assay mark to confirm the silver beneath the surface.
On materials
Solid sterling silver, with the option of gold.
Every AuraFine piece is cast in solid 925 sterling silver — not plated, not filled, the whole piece. If you would like the warmth of gold, we layer a generous coat of 18-karat gold vermeil over that silver core.
Vermeil is something other than ordinary gold-plating. The metal underneath is silver, not brass; the gold layer is real, thicker than a standard plating, and laid down with care. The result wears more like solid gold and ages with grace, while keeping the piece kind on the purse.
A small note to close
The world has enough rings that look like everyone else’s. We are quietly making a few that could only be yours.
