Jewelry redesigned from the inside out.

problem

Jewelry relies heavily on newly mined metals, while valuable metals trapped in everyday electronics remain overlooked and underutilized.

insights

There is untapped monetary and material value in e-waste, offering a more transparent, stable, and responsible alternative to traditional sourcing.

solution

Aurera redesigns the supply chain by refining metals recovered from electronics into luxury jewelry, proving that modern operations can create modern value.

Aurera takes its name from the idea of a new aura for a new era, a shift in how we see value, materials, and the role jewelry plays in our lives. Jewelry has always been more than ornamentation; it carries emotion, memory, and legacy. But the way it’s produced hasn’t evolved with the world around it.

Aurera asks a simple question: What if there was a smarter way to create something so meaningful? A way that transforms the hidden monetary value inside everyday electronics into refined pieces of luxury. This led to a supply chain built not on mining, but on recovery, turning e-waste metals into high-quality, traceable materials.

Each piece holds the standards of traditional luxury, but the story behind it reflects something more modern: a system designed for efficiency, transparency, and reduced impact. Aurera blends technology and fashion not as a trend, but as a new operational model.
