1. Responsible gold sourcing
Every gram of gold used in Auramika Precious pieces is sourced from BIS-accredited refiners who adhere to LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) responsible sourcing standards. We do not use gold from conflict-affected or high-risk areas as defined by the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.
2. Certified gemstones
Our diamonds carry GIA, IGI, or SGL certification. Coloured gemstones — rubies, emeralds, sapphires, polki — are sourced from established Indian gem trading houses with documented supply chains. We do not knowingly source from mines with documented human-rights violations.
3. Supporting master karigars
Our pieces are made by six karigar families in Rajasthan and Maharashtra — some with over three generations of goldsmithing expertise. We pay above-market wages, provide health insurance for their families, and fund schooling for karigar children through a ₹2,00,000 annual education grant.
We believe the best sustainability metric is whether the craft survives the generation. We are investing to make sure it does.
4. Zero-waste packaging
- Jewellery boxes made from recycled cardboard, finished with water-based inks.
- Fabric pouches in natural unbleached cotton — reusable as jewellery travel pouches.
- No single-use plastic in any order. Void fill is shredded recycled paper.
- Shipping boxes are 100% recycled corrugated cardboard, unlaminated and recyclable.
5. Made to repair, not replace
Every Auramika piece comes with a lifetime workmanship guarantee. We have a repair programme — send us a piece from any generation and we will restore it. Replating, stone re-setting, and clasp repair are offered at cost, not profit. A piece repaired is a piece not replaced.
6. Our 2027 commitments
- 100% recycled gold option across all ready-to-wear collections.
- Carbon-neutral shipping on all India orders.
- Karigar welfare fund expanded to 20 families.
- Third-party supply chain audit published annually.
