How we curate our

contemporary designers

SIGNATURE

Every designer we showcase at Auverture has a signature, defined by the recognisable style and knowledge that sets them apart from the rest

STORY

We believe jewellery tells a story, not just about your style but about who you are. That’s why our curators build collections that speak to the past, present and future of influential design

TECHNIQUE

Creating jewellery is an artform and we’re committed to celebrating that. Each piece we curate is technically exceptional, crafted with expertise, skill and creativity

RESPONSIBILITY

As a platform looking to the future, it’s important that all of our designers align with our eco-conscious mission. As a result, the pieces we curate are always purposeful and always ethical

About

Why we curated this designer

After assisting art galleries and artists, Wing fell into design as a way to merge art with the intimacy of jewelry. In September 2013, she launched her delicate opal fine jewelry line, which has since garnered a cult following and the support from celebrities such as Rihanna, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson, Solange, and Zoe Kravitz
