Her innate talent for curating beautiful jewelry and accessories have always been her passion and a strong part of her business. Au 79 was born out of the desire to create refined and sustainable jewelry to be cherished forever. With inspiration from 70s glam, nature, and architectural design, our jewels bring to life an element of curiosity and luxury to your jewelry collection. All Au 79 jewelry is created using recycled sterling silver as the base with high quality 14K gold plating.Our pieces feature a variety of stones including recycled cubic zirconia, freshwater baroque and seed pearl, genuine opal, mother of pearl, and onyx. We approach our business with a sustainable and ethical mindset from start to finish. Our jewels are designed in Seattle, Washington and made by hand in Bali, Indonesia. These pieces are created to be worn and loved, which is why our team personally wears Au 79 styles so they can be tested and perfected.
