What We're About
Our Vision
Rooted in the core principles of creativity, connectedness, and value:
Creativity – Our commitment to creating pieces that are energetic and expressive of the self.
Connectedness – Our connection to the earth, to its creatures, and to each other.
Value – Our dedication to our clients, and to providing knowledge and understanding of what holds value, both in terms of personal story and in terms of personal investment, with the goal that those will go hand-in-hand when purchasing our pieces and incorporating them into their collections.
Sustainable & Ethical Practices
We're committed to the exclusive use of Fairmined Eco certified gold, as well as reclaimed stones. We work exclusively with gold and stones that are of responsible origin.
As a company, we are interested in finding a way together in this world, and building a business that can sustain a handful of happy employees, and continue to offer new collections of AUDE jewellery for years to come.
Giving Back to these Communities
The Craft
Higher Quality Gold, for You & the Earth
Each AUDE piece is handcrafted in 14k or 18k Fairmined Eco certified gold by local goldsmiths with generations of experience.
Fairmined is an assurance label that guarantees the origin and traceability of gold from small-scale mining organizations that meet world-leading standards in responsible mining practices.
Fairmined Eco Certified Gold
This certification guarantees that the gold has been extracted in harmony with nature, human dignity, and sustainable development, contributing to the transformation of lives in these mining communities.

Natural Stones that Endure
In honour of Taurus sensibilities and the enduring value of an earth-created stone, at AUDE we work with reclaimed, natural diamonds and gemstones.
Though we see beauty in all stones, we opt to work exclusively with natural diamonds and gemstones. For generations, natural stones have held value in both the market and the eye of the beholder.
To us, it is important to create jewellery pieces that are ethical and sustainable, and continue to hold value as time cycles on.
Antique Diamonds with Rich Heritage
Our stone of choice is most often an antique diamond. We love the character and charm of the irregular facets of a hand-cut, antique stone. Each lively flash of light hints at the stories of those that came before us.
Handcrafted, Unique to You
With the utmost skill and expertise, each stone is set by hand and each chain link is formed and shaped individually—making no piece of jewellery exactly the same. Your AUDE piece is truly unique to you.
Designed & Created Locally in Vancouver, Canada
With design & conception in-house, AUDE is proud to work with local artisans, including digital rendering artists and carved wax artists to bring the AUDE collection to the world.
