Barely There Chain Necklace

14K solid gold, 18K solid gold, or gold vermeil

Vermeil
Made with a 100% sterling silver base and plated in a thick layer of gold measuring at least 2.5 micron. Aurate proudly steers clear from brass gold plating, and actually stands by the official vermeil 2.5 micron minimum guidelines.

14k and 18k Gold
We recommend 14k or 18k gold if you're looking for your jewelry to last for generations to come. With 14k or 18k gold you never have to take it off, making it ideal for everyday worry-free wear. Both 14k and 18k offer a timeless look, with 14k prized for its durability and affordability, while 18k is chosen for its deeper color and higher value.

Recycled Gold
Proudly made with recycled gold. This means the majority of the gold used does not come from a mine, making this jewelry more sustainable. Planet > profit, all day every day.

Aurate uses recycled gold rather than newly mined gold across its fine jewelry and sources its pearls from family-run farms with attention to the surrounding marine environment. The brand also produces many pieces on a made-to-order basis, helping limit unnecessary inventory.

Aurate designs its jewelry in New York and works with craftspeople and manufacturing partners across countries including Turkey, Vietnam, China, Mexico, India, and Thailand. Depending on the facility, its partners hold certifications and standards including Responsible Jewellery Council membership, ISO 9001 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management, occupational health and safety certification, and GIA or IGI gemological certification; its gold suppliers also follow traceability requirements such as the LBMA Good Delivery List and RJC Chain-of-Custody standards.

Vermeil options ship from New York within 5 business days. All solid gold options are made-to-order and ship from New York by November.
