AURATE Diamond Ring Review: A Better Kind of Bling

The experience of opening the branded box all the way to sliding the ring on invites you to immerse yourself, momentarily, in a world that is nothing short of luxe.

After opening the box, you’re greeted with the sweet message GO FORTH AND SHINE. (By this point I was already feeling quite fancy.) Out slides the tall AURATE embossed teal ring box, and inside is a small certificate of authenticity — reminding you of the quality, fair-price, ethically-crafted, and sustainably-sourced piece you’re about to reveal. It also reminds you of AURATE’s lifetime guarantee and confirms that you’ve provided a book for a child in need by purchasing (or receiving) this piece of jewelry.

Beneath the certificate lies a matching teal suede pouch — just small enough for your ring. Remove the pouch and voila, your bright, shining ring waits securely and comfortably in a ring pillow for you wear!

I can’t stop looking at my hand. No, really.

Who knew such a delicate piece of jewelry could be such an eye-catching distraction? My Midi Stackable Diamond Ring is the first thing I put on in the morning after washing my face, and I wear it throughout the day. (The only reason it leaves my finger at night is that I habitually take off all of my jewelry before going to bed.) Otherwise, it ventures with me throughout my daily activities — from walking my dog to downward dog in my favorite virtual yoga class.

Washing my hands and dishes with the ring secured on my finger is a non-issue. Who has time to take off their rings (and who can remember to put them back on after laying them on the counter) every time their hands run under water? I don’t see any visual deterioration from the soapy suds yet, but if I did it’s useful to have the lifetime warranty in my back pocket.

The comfort of this ring is unlike any of the rings I’ve experienced, perhaps due to the nature of the design; an ultra-thin band and a low-set diamond. Styled on my right ring finger next to another thin gold band that’s worn on my index, AURATE’s Midi Stackable Diamond Ring is truly gorgeous by itself and loses no punch when worn next to another ring.

I even stacked it on top of my diamond eternity wedding band in place of my engagement ring one morning because the two looked so beautiful together with the contrast of larger diamonds and the petite stackable gem. (I’m sure you know how that went over with the hubs.)

Pleased is an understatement if I’m trying to describe my satisfaction with this ring. From the gift box in which it’s sent, to its day-to-day comfort and sparkle, this product shines in every way. AURATE defies the handmade fine jewelry standard by making high quality, special pieces that don’t break the bank.

Look no further if you’re on the hunt for a “treat yourself” staple you can wear every day, or if you’re searching for a unique item for a loved one. We have a feeling you’ll get extra points when they open it and learn that the brand focuses on sustainability from start to finish.

The level of care, quality, and consideration is evident in every detail of the AURATE experience, and the brand’s products are ones you’ll be proud to wear and share.
