WHERE MEANING BECOMES SOLID.

  • .925 STERLING SILVER

    The global standard for centuries, .925 sterling silver represents the ideal silver for jewelry. The number .925 indicates the percentage of the metal that is pure silver. Whereas 100% pure silver is too soft, malleable, and prone to damage for wear, .925 sterling silver adds 7.5% other hypoallergenic metals for added durability, allowing for intricate designs that stand up to everyday wear.

  • 14k GOLD VERMEIL

    Originating in 18th century France, gold vermeil comprises a thick layer of 14k gold bonded over sterling silver. Our gold vermeil uses 40% more gold than industry standards, for a lasting, hypoallergenic finish you can trust. Unlike standard gold-plated jewelry, true vermeil is designed to endure daily wear when cared for thoughtfully.

CRAFTED WITH CONSCIENCE

Awe was founded by Jill Johnson, a trained gemologist with 4+ decades of experience and three-time cancer survivor. From the beginning, Jill was determined to build Awe with intention — from selecting the Goddesses that would become the heart of Awe’s collections, to establishing ethical sourcing partners who could make something not only beautiful, but meaningful. That vision and intentionality continues to guide every decision we make.


All of our gemstone suppliers adhere to the Kimberley Process, an international certification that ensures ethical labor practices and environmental oversight at the mining level. Our manufacturing partners comply with U.S. labor standards, providing healthcare, time off, living wages, and safe, comfortable working conditions. Many also utilize water recycling systems to significantly reduce environmental impact. 

Our packaging is made from 90% recycled materials, and we are continually working to minimize single-use plastics across our operations. And because Awe handles design, production, fulfillment, and customer care in-house, we’re able to produce our collections consciously, in small batches.


The result is a collection of mindfully designed, meticulously crafted pieces you can be proud of.

We know we are.

FAQ

What is gold vermeil, and how is it different from gold-plated jewelry?

Gold vermeil is a thick layer of 14k gold bonded to a base of solid sterling silver. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, which uses a thin layer of gold over brass or steel, vermeil has the weight, richness, anddurability of fine jewelry. It looks and feels like solid gold and holds up beautifully over time with proper care.

Will Awe Inspired jewelry tarnish or turn my skin green?

No. Our jewelry is made only with precious metals like sterling silver and 14k gold vermeil. We never use cheap base metals that can flake, tarnish, or discolor your skin. Our pieces are hypoallergenic and made to last.

Why is Awe jewelry more expensive than other brands I see online?

We use higher quality materials and traditional craftsmanship to create jewelry that holds lasting value. That includes solid sterling silver, thick 14k gold vermeil, and natural gemstones. Each piece is designed in-house and carefully made by skilled artisans. You are not just paying for the look, you are investing in real craftsmanship and ethically sourced materials.

Where is your jewelry made?

Our designs begin in Los Angeles and are brought to life by expert jewelers in Thailand, Italy, and the United States. These partners are long-time collaborators who specialize in fine jewelry and share our commitment to quality and responsible production.

What makes your materials “ethical”?

We only work with partners who meet high standards for labor practices and environmental care. Our gemstones are sourced through trusted suppliers who prioritize transparency and sustainability. Our founder, Jill Johnson, has spent decades building these relationships to ensure integrity at every step.

Are your gemstones real?

Yes. We use only genuine natural gemstones. You will never find glass, resin, or synthetic stones in our pieces. Each stone is chosen for its natural beauty and symbolic significance.

How do I care for my Awe jewelry?

To protect your jewelry, avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and water whenever possible, exactly like you would with solid gold pieces. Gently polish with the cleaning cloth included free in your order, and store in a dry, cool place. With the right care, your pieces will last for many years.

Can I wear it every day?

Yes. Our jewelry is designed for everyday wear. 14k gold vermeil and sterling silver are durable, but like all fine jewelry, they do best with a little care and attention.
