A Complete Guide To AS29
The AS29 story
The AS29 label was founded over a decade ago by Audrey Savransky with one clear vision in mind: to provide modern, forward-thinking women with a truly non-conformist approach to wearing fine 18k gold jewellery. Since the brand’s inception, it has continued to deliver on this mission and remains committed to crafting pieces which are rebellious yet refined, and bold yet effortless enough to wear for any occasion. The modern woman demands more from her jewellery in terms of quality, style and the way it makes her feel. AS29 delivers a wearable experience which is addictively luxurious, surpassing expectations and creating unique pieces which are made to be treasured for a lifetime. Each piece is thoughtfully designed, drawing inspiration from geometry and the timeless beauty of natural stones. Being the fourth generation of her family to work with diamonds, Audrey has been immersed in the industry from a very young age. Her fascination with the natural beauty of stones and how they can be used to create super premium jewellery has only strengthened throughout her life, leading to the creation of AS29’s inspired and powerful range.
The everlasting appeal of gold
Gold is one of the most loved metals for jewellery making, and has long been a signifier of wealth and status in many cultures. Its timeless beauty is something that has been appreciated for thousands of years. There can be no denying that it has an almost hypnotic allure which makes fine gold jewellery highly desirable, there is just something about wearing gold that makes us feel good. Rare and lustrous, 18k gold jewellery makes a memorable, sentimental gift for a loved one or an indulgent, lasting gift for yourself. The confidence-boosting effect of gold is just one reason for its popularity in jewellery making. Whether white, yellow or rose, gold is flattering on all skin tones and is hypoallergenic, meaning that it is the perfect metal choice for those with sensitive skin. It lends itself beautifully to modern, bold designs, but also can be used to create intricate and delicate pieces.
Whether the gold is the star of the show or it is inalid with exquisite gemstones, fine gold jewellery always looks on trend and fashion-forward. AS29 are a leading designer of fine black gold rhodium jewellery which has a sleek, dark finish. Rhodium is the most expensive member of the platinum family, and is used to create a striking surface layer on our jewellery which is highly durable. You can expect to get several years of wear out of your black gold rhodium jewellery, though some pieces will retain their perfect looks for longer than others. For example, a black gold ring will show signs of fading sooner than a pair of earrings or necklace as they are worn on a more high contact part of the body and usually face more wear and tear. Black gold earrings tend to stay in pristine condition for longer as they generally aren’t handled very much while being worn. Aside from its exquisite good looks, gold is also loved by jewellers for its exceptional properties. Gold is inert, which means it doesn’t react with moisture and therefore does not rust, and gold jewellery of a high purity level such as 18k gold benefits from this too. When properly cared for it remains sparkling and bright for years as it is much harder than silver, platinum, and even 14k gold. In effect, 18k gold is loved for its striking beauty, its emotional and material value, and its practical, easy-going nature.
Four generations of premium gold jewellery makers
When investing in fine gold jewellery, the modern woman wants to be sure that the pieces she chooses will make her feel captivating, confident and powerful.

With a wealth of design and technical experience, Audrey understands the unique appeal that gold has over other precious metals and chooses raw materials with an incredibly high level of purity. Most pieces are crafted from indulgent 18k gold which offers the perfect balance between pure gold content and strength to create pieces which are as perfect for a special event as they are for everyday wear.
