Growing up and working from Devon, Alexandra handmakes each piece of jewellery using fusion, hand-forging and stone-setting techniques. Since founding the business in 2013, Alexandra has gained a reputation for quality handmade jewellery using exquisite gemstones. 

The name Aurum originates from the Latin word for gold. The double A’s from Alexandra Aurum and 79, which is the atomic number of gold on the periodic table, forms Alexandra’s logo.

Alexandra Aurum Contemporary Jewellery can be found in craft and jewellery exhibitions held across the country throughout the year.

Alexandra has two collections of unusual jewellery designs. The Devon Red collection has a smooth wire aesthetic while the Popplestone collection uses harder angles and metal textures. Both collections are inspired by studying textures found within landscapes.

Jewellery becomes part of the wearer’s identity and tells their story. Alexandra is humbled to create symbols that represent many different life events for her clients.

Alexandra has a great deal of experience designing and working with a variety of metals and gemstones. Recycling the metal and precious stones from an inherited piece is a perfect way to update and hold onto family heirlooms for future generations.
