All Aurious pieces are proudly crafted in Malaysia by the finest local craftspeople.

916 (22K) gold is about 91.6% pure, while 999 (24K) gold is about 99.9% pure. 999 gold is the softest, purest, and most malleable form of gold. This makes it an easy material to craft with, but scratches and dents easily.

To overcome this, 999 gold is often mixed with other metals. The term 916 is used to denote that the piece is made of 91.6% pure gold, with the remaining amount being composed of metals like copper, silver, and zinc.

For instance, if you have 10 grams of 916 solid gold, it would contain 9.16 grams of pure gold; and the rest of the weight would come from additional mixed metals.

Solid gold jewellery is just as the name suggests. Different karats of gold are determined by the purity of gold in the material. The higher the karat (K), the purer and softer the gold. Solid gold jewellery does not oxidise or discolour, making it the most durable and highest quality jewellery available. Solid gold is hypoallergenic and its purity ranges from 10K to 24K.

At Aurious, we want to be as transparent as possible about our jewellery prices. We calculate the value of all Aurious pieces based on two factors:

1. Current 916 (22K) Solid Gold Price – This is the current value of 916 solid gold for each jewellery. This value is yours upon purchase and serves as accessible savings for the future. The value of your Aurious piece is calculated by multiplying the jewellery weight by the price of 916 gold per gram. *
*Individual jewellery weight can fluctuate by up to 0.2 grams per design.
2. Workmanship Fee – This is the fee that includes design, workmanship, and insurance costs.

Yes! We craft all our pieces with the full understanding that they will be heirlooms or investments. Aurious is a proud member of FEDMAS, and our jewellery are routinely tested by FEDMAS for gold purity.

FEDMAS is a testing facility for precious metal purity tests. The laboratories of FEDMAS are the only assay offices in Malaysia accredited under MS ISO/IEC 17025:2005 recognised by Malaysian Standards and International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Aurious does not currently provide personalisation or engraving, but we may offer this service in the future. In the meantime, do visit a professional jeweller or jewellery engraver if you would like to personalise your Aurious jewellery. Both laser engraving and engraving by hand will work well on 916 (22K) gold.

Please note, however, that we are unable to offer refunds and are not responsible for any damage to your Aurious jewellery once it has been modified.
