MATERIAL GUIDE

14K Solid Gold

All packaging is crafted from 100% recyclable materials — a gift that feels good in every way.

14K Gold Vermeil

Awe Vermeil has been perfected for superior durability with an innovative oxygen bathing technique that improves gold adherence 3x over standard electroplating. In this process, we coat a 925 sterling silver base with 3 full microns of our signature 14k yellow gold and place the piece in a 100% pure oxygen chamber to remove any moisture and prevent tarnishing between layers. The 2 microns used by other vermeil jewelers is not enough for our standards.

925 Sterling Silver

925 sterling silver free of allergenic metals like nickel and coated in rhodium for superior luster and durability. Our 925 sterling silver is always free of allergenic metals like nickel. To ensure superior luster and durability, it's coated in rhodium - a metallic element resistant to corrosion.

2 Toned or Mixed Metals

Two toned describes a piece or set with mixed metals: Awe quality 14k yellow gold vermeil and solid 925 sterling silver.

CARE & WARRANTY

Made to Last

Every piece is crafted from ethically sourced precious metals and genuine natural gemstones – never base metals that flake, tarnish, or irritate skin. Hypoallergenic and designed for everyday wear.

Care Tips
  • Gently polish with the complimentary Awe microfiber cloth included in every order to maintain luster.
  • Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, chlorine, and household chemicals: simply wipe clean with a soft cloth after any exposure.
  • Store in the embossed velvet pouch or jewelry box that comes with your order. Keep pieces separated.
  • Wear last, remove first: put jewelry on after applying skincare and fragrance.

Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty

Every piece is backed by our lifetime craftsmanship warranty. If anything goes wrong due to manufacturing – broken clasps, loose stones, soldering defects, or premature finish issues – we'll replace it free of charge.

Repairs for normal wear or accidental damage are assessed individually. We also offer repairs for 14k solid gold pieces.

About the Goddess

Sappho

Creativity Love Courage
While only 650 lines of Sappho’s seminal lyrical poetry have survived history, the Archaic Greek poet continues to captivate contemporary queer artists with her unabashed romantic lyricism. The very word “lesbian” was derived from her home island of Lesbos, and the term “sapphic” has been adopted to describe sexual love between women. We’ve incorporated her iconic line “someone, I tell you, in another time, will remember us” into her Goddess pendant as an ode to queer lovers everywhere.

    Absolutely stunning!

    I got this as a gift for myself with some Christmas cash, and it is absolutely stunning! The pendant is beautiful, a good weight with amazing detail. I’m a writer and poetry nerd with a strong connection to the LGBTQIA+ community, so this piece is especially meaningful. I hope to buy one as a wedding gift for a loved one later this year✨

    PS: This pendent looks especially elegant on the delicate collector chain!

    This is the second time I have bought Awe products; it was a great experience.

    Not only is the Sappho itself beautiful, but the engraving around the perimeter, the poetry on the back, and the shape of the oval are lovely.

    I often wear it with my first one, Medusa. It is as if I have the best goddess and poet protecting me. I love them.
