After leaving a career as an engineer behind to study Jewelry Design in New York City, founder Flora Jin creates sentimental jewelry that is crafted with traditional silversmithing techniques and high quality materials. Drawing inspiration from all things folk art and romance, Gauchette makes modern jewelry that can be cherished as future heirlooms.

Gauchette jewelry is made from 100% recycled sterling silver, a hypoallergenic, nickel-free metal that has been used in jewelry for many centuries.

Inspired by metal’s infinite capacity for renewal, Gauchette strives to be sustainable in all areas of our existence. The metal scraps from our production process are recycled into new pieces and stones are chosen intentionally with the goal of limiting our carbon footprint. Textiles used in jewelry are natural and biodegradable.

The project was founded in 2023. Each piece is fabricated by hand in Jin’s Brooklyn Studio.

Care

After testing various methods for storing silver jewelry, we've had the best results keeping clean, dry jewelry in a simple airtight plastic bag. To clean jewelry, use the complimentary microfiber cloth provided with your order for regular maintenance. To reach any nooks, use an old, soft-bristled toothbrush with gentle soap and water.
