About Us
Hi - I’m Stephanie the founder of AURA ZALEZ.
AURA ZALEZ is based out of NYC and was born in 2014!
AURA ZALEZ WAS CREATED WITH A VISION FOR AN EASIER AFFORDABLE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE. YOUR AURA IS HOW YOU CARRY YOURSELF. IT IS WHAT DEFINES YOU. WHETHER YOUR THAT EDGY FASHION FORWARD TRENDSETTER, OR THE CLASSIC TRIED AND TRUE LOOK TYPE OF GIRL, YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING THAT SUITS YOU, OR BETTER YET SAID YOUR "AURA".
I chose to name my brand AURA as is means ‘THE DISTINCTIVE ATMOSPHERE GENERATED BY ONESELF’ which for me was the essence behind building my brand. ZALEZ REPRESENTING MY FAMILY NAME "GONZALEZ", which further deepens my brands values and identity.
I have always had a huge passion for Fashion and accessorizing! and my dream was to create a high-quality, versatile and affordable brand for all women. I truly believe that everyone deserves to feel beautiful and confident in their own skin and I wanted AURA ZALEZ to support and champion this belief.
My mission has always been to create something that empowers and instils confidence in myself and women who are driven, ambitious and stylish while balancing a busy lifestyle.
I am so excited and grateful to have built an incredible community of women who also support AURA ZALEZ's vision and I look forward to continuing to grow and to see what the future holds!
Love,
Steph G. x
Materials & Care
Majority of our items is stainless steel, but it varies by style. We also offer Sterling Silver, Gold Plated, Gold Filled and Brass items.
With proper care and under normal wearing conditions it can have a long lifespan. It will not tarnish or oxidize, but of course with heavy wear and rough conditions it can impact how your jewelry looks no matter what the item is made of.
We strongly recommend wiping down your jewels using a soft lint free cloth, and periodically wipe your jewelry. This will keep your jewels looking shiny and looking brand new! Ideally, store your Aura Zalez purchases in a dark, cool and dry place within an air tight box or your Aura Zalez pouch to help reduce scratching and tangling.
Try not to expose your jewelry to perfumes, lotions or any acidic liquids, as this may cause the plating to fade over time. Our jewelry will not oxidize or tarnish. However, we would advise removing all jewelry while in salt or chlorine water [swimming pools] and avoid extreme temperatures, as well as mixing jewelry with other metal types should be avoided if you'd like to maintain your jewels.
Repurposed Luxury
Each item in our Repurposed Luxury Collection is a 1 of 1. A first come first served concept. These designs are made using previously owned finds. Our items are not sourced from a single location. instead, they come from a variety of places, including consignment shops, researched and recommended vendors, online third-party platforms, and a network of luxury vendors worldwide. Often times we are not able to source two of the same exact item. If so, they will not be in a duplicated design.
Yes each item is authentic. Designs are repurposed using previously owned authentic finds. Items sourced in their original state have been authenticated before altering and those items will include a Certificate or Authenticity with your purchase.
