Last year, I got my third earlobe piercing. It’s a rather simple piercing, but unfortunately for me, it got infected after a few weeks, and the infection spread to another ear piercing. It was a miserable experience. However, after a visit to the doctor’s office, I realized it all came down to the type of earrings I had in my ears. I was having an allergic reaction and needed to wear gold. And not just any gold — the really good stuff.
A lot of people have piercings like mine that require a higher gold karat, while others are allergic to nickel. Call us bougie, but if you don’t want an infection and you want to invest in high-quality, long-lasting jewelry, gold is the only way to go.
When I was looking for gold earrings to solve my allergic reaction, I discovered the women-owned fine jewelry brand Aurate. I put the brand’s Sway Medium Chain Earrings in and hardly ever take them out.
Aurate Sway Medium Chain, 14K Gold, $140
Aurate specializes in gold, but its prices are lower than most other jewelers.
“We include all of the luxury without the markup by keeping all of our operations local (no import taxes), recycling excess and producing pieces on a made-to-order basis so that you don’t pay for extra inventory costs,” Aurate’s website reads. “We work just as hard as you do to ensure that your dollar lasts as long as our gold.”
Additionally, everything from Aurate is ethically sourced and sustainably made. Its jewelry features 100% recycled 14K and 18K gold, its conflict-free diamonds stick to The Kimberly Process, and it sources its pearls and precious gems from family-run establishments that support local communities. Plus, everything comes with a lifetime warranty.
If that all sounds good to you, you’ll be glad to know that Aurate is currently offering 20% off all orders in honor of Women’s History Month and donating 10% of proceeds to the ACLU. Simply use code “HUMANKIND” at checkout.
Choose a small stud earring, a diamond pendant necklace or a chunky gold ring — it’s all on sale until March 20, and shipping is free. See below for a few of Aurate’s best sellers if you’re in the market for some good quality jewelry.
1. Aurate Lightweight Gold Hoop Earrings Trio, 14K Gold, $176 (Orig. $220)
You can choose between yellow, rose and white gold hoops in this trio. Get all one color or make each hoop different. Hoops never go out of style, so you’ll have these to wear for a while.
2. Diamond Bezel Necklace, 14K Gold, $256 (Orig. $320)
This simple gold diamond necklace is the perfect everyday dainty accessory. However, it’s also great for layering with other necklaces if you prefer that kind of look.
3. Love Me Knot Ring, Gold Vermeil, $72 (Orig. $90)
Thicker gold chain jewelry is in right now, and beyond necklaces and earrings, Aurate makes a few chain-like rings. This one is a best seller, and it’s easy to see why.
4. Diamond Connection Necklace, 14K Gold, $680 (Orig. $850)
The brand’s No. 1 selling necklace now comes with diamonds! Of course, if you prefer a simpler style without diamonds (and with a cheaper price tag), you could always go with the original design, too.
5. AURATE X KERRY: Venus Organic Pearl Tri Gold Ring, Gold Vermeil, $288 (Orig. $360)
This pearl-adorned gold ring comes from Aurate’s collection with award-winning actress Kerry Washington. The shape of the pearls may differ slightly, but the ring is uniquely gorgeous either way.
