Why handmade jewelry,

Written By Hector Sanchez

Truly handcrafted,

From the beginning we opted out from machinery capable of producing hundreds of pieces of jewelry at the time, now days almost anyone with a PC and the right software can make jewelry right?, but never a  piece that can be considered one-of-a-kind, with true quality and meaning that add value to a handmade piece of real jewelry.

When you buy handmade jewelry for an independent artisan he or she are more likely to put heart and soul to create the jewelry that tells your story, furthermore the artisan will be the a go-to when regular check-ups and maintenance are required.

For those who value uniqueness and intrinsic value, a handmade engagement and wedding rings are the way to go, the artisan will make sure that they are made just for you, and all your boxes are checked before your rings are in your hands.

More expensive?

Not really; creating a nautical ring, bracelet, necklace or other piece of fine jewelry takes time and skill the are learned through long years of practice, and the materials must be first class, and obtained from reputable providers.

We would like to hear what makes handmade jewelry special for you, tell us here.

Aumaris original Nautical Jewelry is handcrafted with a natural approach to jewelry design, to ensure each piece is environmentally friendly, socially responsible and unique.
Hector Sanchez was born, the second child of a master jeweler. He is the one to inherit a legacy of jewelry craftsmanship that spanned three generations. Like his father before him, Hector enjoys the art of jewelry making. 
At the age of 16, Hector embarked on an apprenticeship under his father, who taught him the jeweler’s art along with family honored techniques Hector still employs to this day. The rigors of his father’s strict training forged both masterful design skills and an uncompromising work ethic rooted in hard work, perseverance and love for his craft.

 

 Hector moved to California and worked for eight years in the Los Angeles jewelry district, where he fine-tuned his skills. It was here in the City of Angels that he met sailor and entrepreneur, Bob Bitchin.
Bob shared with Hector his frustration with finding an artist who could bring his vision of a hefty sailor gold bracelet to life (Bob is 6'4"). Hector volunteered to give it a try. He did, and Bob loved it. So much so that in 1990 he joined forces with Hector to start a nautical jewelry business, and together they created among others the original Turks-Head Comfort Rings. After a few years, Bob decided to cast off and sail into the sunset, while Hector continued designing unique fine nautical jewelry.
To this day Hector continues to work on new designs from his studio in Hawaii, creating some of the most beautiful enduring jewelry designs with his wife Chris; the love of his life.
