Is Aurelie Gi legit? Our verdict
A US brand of recycled 14k solid gold jewelry, much of it earrings and piercing pieces with lab-grown diamonds, with a one-year warranty and Shop Pay Installments — but its pages contradict each other on free returns, the return window and earrings, all earrings are final sale under its FAQ, no company is named, and shipping insurance isn't mentioned.
Visit Aurelie GiThe bottom line. Aurelie Gi is a US-based brand of 14k solid gold jewelry2,5, including lab-grown diamond pieces6, sold on its own site and through authorized retailers across the US1; its domain dates from 20187. It says its gold is 100% recycled and that it is a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council1,8. It ships only within the US, with free standard shipping on orders under $3009, and takes cards, PayPal and Shop Pay Installments on a Shopify checkout1,8,10. Its jewelry has a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects, with free repair if a chain breaks or a stone falls out1, and you can reach it by phone, email or text1,11,12. It scores low because its pages contradict each other: product pages promise ‘Free Returns & Exchanges’ while its policies say returns aren’t free3,8, the return window is 30 business days on two pages and 30 days in the FAQ1,3, and product pages let you return unworn earrings while the FAQ and refund policy make earrings final sale1,3,13. You also pay return postage and carry the risk of a return lost in transit1,3; shipping insurance isn’t mentioned, and for a lost parcel it sends you to the carrier first1,9,14,15; no company is named and the founder is identified only as Giselle1,3,5,9,10,11,14,15,16,17; its diamonds carry the store’s own grades, with no lab reports2,6,8,13,18,19; and we found no Trustpilot profile20.

Who is behind Aurelie Gi
The site is ‘operated by AURELIE GI’10 and names no company — no Inc. or LLC1,3,5,9,10,11,14,15,16,17. Its brand story calls Aurelie Gi a US-based, 14kt gold demi-fine luxury jewelry brand5, and its founder is named only by a first name, Giselle, and writes of being born into a family of jewelers5; a retailer describes it as Dallas-based24. Its business address is a PO box in Crandall, Texas11, and its terms give a street address, 2050 N Stemmons Fwy, Suite 7135, in Dallas — written, oddly, into the clause on which laws govern the terms10. The domain dates from September 20187.
Wholesale inquiries go to an email address at aniahaie.com11, and at least one retailer presents Ania Haie and Aurelie Gi together25; the site doesn’t explain the connection. Aurelie Gi says it has authorized retailers throughout the US1 — its store locator loads a list of stockists, and we found no store of its own26. It says it is a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council and a corporate sponsor of the Association of Professional Piercers8.

Returns & refunds
Its refund policy and its Shipping & Returns page give you 30 business days from receiving the order to return a piece in new, unused condition and its original packaging, after emailing for a return authorization3,9; its FAQ says 30 days from delivery1. You pay to send it back — it asks you to use an insured courier — and Aurelie Gi isn’t responsible for returns lost in transit1,3. Refunds go to the original payment method within 7 days of receipt — 7 business days after inspection, in the FAQ — minus delivery charges1,3; we found no restocking fee1,3,9. Exchanges are only for the same style, you pay shipping both ways, and ‘a re-work fee may apply’1. If an item is faulty, it asks for photos first and reimburses return postage once it confirms the fault9.
Sale and engraved pieces can’t be returned unless faulty, and the refund policy adds earrings, for hygiene reasons3. The FAQ goes further: all earrings, including pierced earrings, are final sale, as are customized or personalized pieces and sale and promotional items1. Its product types include piercing jewelry, hoops and huggies, studs and earring charms21, so the earring rule covers much of the range. One line also says orders paid with Klarna will follow Klarna’s 14-day return policy once Klarna is available9.
Its product pages show ‘Free Returns & Exchanges’8 and an earrings policy that accepts unworn earrings within 30 days of delivery13. Its refund policy says it doesn’t offer free returns and deducts delivery charges from the refund3, and its FAQ makes all earrings final sale1. We score the terms that are worse for the buyer. Before ordering earrings, ask [email protected] in writing whether they can come back.

Shipping & delivery
Aurelie Gi ships within the United States only9, and taxes are collected at checkout9. Its Shipping & Returns page lists free standard shipping in 3–7 business days for orders under $300, free signature shipping from $300, and next-day delivery for $309. Its shipping policy gives a different table: free standard shipping under $300 in 4–7 business days, a $15 FedEx 2nd Day upgrade, and, for orders of $300 and above, FedEx 2nd Day with signature for $2014. Pre-order pieces can take up to a month to ship8, and you get a tracking number by email9.
We found no mention of insurance on the parcels it sends1,9,14,15. If a parcel is lost, its FAQ asks you to contact the carrier first and file a claim, and to report it within 14 days of the expected delivery date; it says it isn’t responsible for carrier delays or losses but will ‘do our best to assist’1.

Normal wear, accidental damage, improper use and snagged chains aren’t covered, and items from a promotion may be excluded1. It doesn’t offer re-plating1.
We found no free cleaning or resizing service1,3,4,9,22. Rings come only in sizes 5, 6, 7 and 84, and it offers only the sizes listed on each product page1. For cleaning advice it suggests your local jeweler22.

What Aurelie Gi sells & what it costs
Everything is 14k solid gold, which it says is 100% recycled1,2, ‘nickel-free’8 and ‘a durable and hypoallergenic metal alloy’ — the alloy itself isn’t named22. Its range includes natural diamonds, named as such in product titles21, lab-grown diamonds, and lab-grown emeralds, rubies and sapphires labeled as lab-grown21, as well as pearls, opal and ‘healing crystal’ charms such as red jasper and lapis1,13,27. It also sells body jewelry, such as a 17-gauge lab-grown diamond barbell ring2,21.
Diamond pages give the stone weight and the store’s own grade — ‘Color & Clarity: G-H / SI’ on a 3.876-carat lab-grown tennis bangle, ‘GH-SI’ on hoops6,18 — but none of the diamond pages we checked mentions a grading report2,6,8,13,18,19, and the page for a lab-grown pear ring of 2.37 carats total weight at $3,788 gives no colour or clarity at all8. Prices in our sample ran from $45 for a crystal charm to $4,308 for the tennis bangle6,27.
