Why Awe?
Awe Inspired is more than a brand; it's our promise to create jewelry that is truly worthy of the person who leaves you in Awe. Our Los Angeles-based artisans pour their hearts into crafting each design with over a century's worth of collective expertise, ensuring every detail, from the Goddesses' graceful contours to the intentional symbology, is steeped in meaning and heritage.
We never use mass-produced designs and cheap base metals that flake and turn the skin green, choosing instead to work with the finest ethically sourced precious metals and gemstones. Our 14k yellow gold vermeil and sterling silver creations are not only an embodiment of empowerment and lasting beauty, but with an accessible price point – because we believe everyone deserves to Live in Awe.
When you wear Awe Inspired, you carry a symbol of strength and intention, with state of the art craftsmanship and meaningful, historically accurate attention to detail infused in every hand-polished piece. And with every piece sold, we give back to our community and the causes we believe in, championing women's empowerment and crafting a legacy of positive impact to inspire Awe for years to come.
Is Awe jewelry ethically sourced?
Our commitment to ethical sourcing is the cornerstone of our philosophy. We use only the highest-grade hypoallergenic precious metals and genuine gemstones, ensuring our jewelry is not only beautiful, but also kind to your skin, worthy of adoration and durable enough to be part of your everyday life.
Is the jewelry hypoallergenic and nickel free?
Yes, our jewelry is hypoallergenic and nickel free, and is made of only sterling silver, 14k gold, and precious gemstones. Our use of gold vermeil, 14k solid gold bonded to a sterling silver base, ensures that our pieces are not only durable but also capture the fine detail work that is often lost in other gold-filled jewelry. This meticulous process, inspired by 18th century Parisian techniques, allows us to offer the opulence and longevity of solid gold at an accessible price point that invites everyone to experience Awe. Finally, each piece is hand polished to a radiant finish, because Awe is more than just jewelry.
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.
