Strategy Tool
A thirty-year jewellery house steps into a new chapter — sterling silver, a younger audience, and an identity that holds the family's gemstone heritage with quiet, modern restraint.
Auric had spent three decades earning its reputation in gems and gold. The new sterling silver line needed an identity that felt like a fresh chapter without abandoning the family name — something modern, classic, timeless.
We built the system around a single image — a delicate red diamond ring nested into the wordmark — and balanced it with an unhurried editorial typeface and a palette borrowed from sand, eggshell, and rose-gold dust. The result is a brand that looks at home in a glass display case and a phone screen alike.
Generational jewellery houses don't need a rebrand — they need a translation. Our job at Auric was to carry three decades of trust into a sterling silver chapter.
Discovery sat with the family for weeks — old visiting cards, the original showroom signage, the way regulars still pronounced the name. Strategy then drew a clear line between the legacy gold business and the new silver line, so each could speak to its buyer without diluting the other. Creative work narrowed to a single editorial gesture — a fine ring resting inside the wordmark — proven across a brand manual, cards, packaging and the website before anything went to print.

A two-tone primary palette — warm cream and a powdered silver-pink — gives the brand its quiet, unmistakable surface. Used at scale across boxes, business cards and the website backdrop.
Issue 01 of Auric covered the full surface area — a system the family could hand to a printer, a photographer or a developer without a brief.
The work covered the core identity and ring-in-wordmark lock-up, a typographic system in Playfair and Source Sans, a calibrated palette of eggshell, silver pink and bone — and a stationery suite for a house where letters and visiting cards still matter. Packaging spanned ring boxes, sleeves and presentation pouches. All of it codified inside a brand manual that reads like an editorial, not a deck.


"Our logo is the key building block of our identity — the symbol and the name share a fixed relationship that should never be changed in any way."

Auric now feels like two confident houses under one name — the legacy gold work and the new silver chapter — held together by a single quiet system.
The brand can now speak to a younger buyer without losing the loyal one — a college client picking up a sterling stack and a wedding client ordering a heirloom set sit on the same site, the same packaging and the same instagram grid without one undercutting the other. The new identity gives Auric a way to step into pop-ups, retail partnerships and editorial features without rebuilding for each new room.
