What is more beautiful than a woman’s form? If you ask us: nothing.
After 7 tries, 13 months, and dozens of revisions (constellations and female forms are things we don't take lightly), Aurate proudly presents: the Femme Zodiac Pendant. Each star sign, reimagined in the shape of a woman and coated in recycled 14k vermeil. We prefer our art to imitate life. And women, by default.
Pair it with one of our many signature chains.
If you’re seeking a classic and dainty zodiac symbol instead, then we’ve got this too (necklace and bracelet). Your zodiac, your sign.
Twelve individually designed, handmade coins are bright and bold in high polished vermeil, at a 21mm diameter. With a large bail at 2.5mmx5mm, this pendant can be worn on many chains.
Leather
Vegan Leather is a "faux" leather made from polymer, a recyclable and low carbon impact material. It is made without using any animal products, meaning no animals were harmed in the making of this material.
Marble
Marble is a natural stone formed by the earth over millions of years and valued for its crystalline structure and hardness. This means the veining on each of our marble pieces is unique and one of a kind.
Vermeil
Made with a 100% sterling silver base and plated in a thick layer of gold measuring at least 2.5 micron. We proudly steer clear from brass gold plating, and actually stand by the official vermeil 2.5 micron minimum guidelines.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a high-quality, precious metal made from 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This combination enhances the strength of the silver while retaining its beautiful luster and shine. Our Sterling Silver is rhodium plated for tarnish protection.
14k Gold
We recommend 14k gold if you're looking for your jewelry to last for generations to come. With 14k gold you never have to take it off, making it ideal for everyday worry-free wear.
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.
Platinum
More durable than gold, we recommend platinum over white gold for engagement or wedding bands, as it's easier to maintain overtime.
