Classically styled and crafted from 100 percent recycled materials, Amara Gold offers an extensive collection of gold and sterling-silver jewelry made entirely in North America. To ensure that its metals live up to their ecological claims—and that no freshly mined materials are used—each necklace, earring, bracelet, and ring is traceable and independently verified under strict controls.

GOOD AS GOLD
Beyond its sustainable mission, Amara strives to offer unique pieces through exclusive partnerships with independent designers. Award-winning jeweler Maria Canale, heads Amara’s first collaboration by drawing inspiration from organic forms in nature.
Each of Amara’s jewelry is said to be stronger and more scratch-resistant than conventional metals, according to the company. Lab tests show that its 14-karat gold resists bending, scratching, stretching, breaking and kinking more than other brands, allowing its baubles to stand up to the most active lifestyle. The clasps, hooks, links, and catches are also designed to withstand accidental pulls and twists, reliably springing back into shape after every tug.
Produced by Cookson Precious Metals, which has been manufacturing fine jewelry for over 150 years, Amara’s fine adornments are available through its online store.
