Anchor chain bracelets are essential.

Aumaris: Forging Tradition into Fine Gold Jewelry

For a brand like Aumaris, the anchor chain bracelets and necklaces are more than just a design element; they're a foundational part of their commitment to nautical heritage. Aumaris takes the spirit and symbolism of the anchor chain and translates it into luxurious, handcrafted fine jewelry.

Unlike mass-produced jewelry, Aumaris's gold and silver anchor chain pieces are meticulously crafted by hand, link by link. This artisanal approach honors the history of the chain itself, which was once forged by blacksmiths and master craftsmen. Aumaris's jewelry is not just a replica of a chain; it is a reinterpretation of its essence, created with the same dedication to quality and durability that defined its maritime counterpart.

Aumaris's "Capt Bob" anchor chain bracelets are a perfect example of this philosophy. They are substantial, solid, and created to be a powerful and lasting piece of jewelry. This focus on heavy, solid links and impeccable craftsmanship ensures that the jewelry doesn't just look like an anchor chain—it feels as strong and reliable as the real thing.

By using high-quality materials and a labor-intensive, handcrafting process, Aumaris elevates the anchor chain from a popular trend to a timeless heirloom. Their work demonstrates that the anchor chain is more than just a design; it's a legacy of strength, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the powerful beauty of the sea.

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.
