Automic Gold: 14K Solid Gold Jewelry Handmade in NYC
Automic Gold is a fine jewelry brand based in New York. They make pieces meant to be lived in — not saved for occasions. Here's a look at the brand's identity, the materials, and the thinking behind the designs.
What Automic Gold Stands For
On their official site: "Automic Gold is a queer, trans-owned fine jewelry company that creates timeless, genderless pieces."
Queer and trans-owned, making fine jewelry that isn't bound by time or gender. The designs are thoroughly minimal, with no extra decoration.
14K Solid Gold Only
Every piece is 14K solid gold. Since it's gold all the way through, you don't have to worry about the surface peeling off like with plated jewelry. Their official care guide even says, "These metals aren't afraid of water or chemicals, so you can wear them every day!"
Shower, sweat, live your life — the material is made to handle it.
Handmade in NYC with Recycled and Ethical Materials
Everything is handmade in New York using recycled gold and reclaimed or ethically sourced stones. For anyone who cares about where the raw materials come from, that background is part of the appeal.
Price: $50 to $400
A simple band ring starts at $50. More intricate designs go up to $400.
For 14K solid gold, this is an accessible price range. It works whether you're looking for your first gold piece for everyday wear or adding another one to your collection.
Size Range
Rings run from US size 2 through 16 — US size 2 is stocked properly, not just listed as a theoretical option. Bracelets start at 14cm and don't have adjusters, so they fit a 14cm wrist at the minimum. Wrists smaller than 14cm won't get a proper fit.
The official site states, "we are still the only fine jewelry brand to carry inclusive sizes from 2-16." Whether they're the only one is hard to verify, but a range this wide is rare to find elsewhere.
Queer and trans-owned, NYC-based, and working only in 14K solid gold — that combination is uncommon in fine jewelry. The material is solid all the way through, made with recycled gold and ethically sourced stones, and their care guide says water and chemicals are fine. Prices start at $50 for a simple band, which is rare for solid gold.
Bracelets don't have adjusters, so check your exact wrist measurement before ordering. Some chunkier bracelet styles sit differently than thin chains, so the style you pick matters for fit. Shipping is from the US — check international rates on their site.
