CHARITABLE
ALCHEMY /ˈalkəmē/
A type of chemistry, especially in the Middle Ages, that dealt with trying to find a way to change ordinary metals into gold and with trying to find a medicine that would cure any disease (source: Cambridge).

We proudly donate a portion of all our profits to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We're passionate fighters whose mission is to help conquer the merciless battle against cancer. Our co-founder, Nicole, is a stage four Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma warrior and survivor, so this particular charitable organization hits close to home for us.

FUNCTIONAL
Cambridge also defines alchemy as a process that is so effective that it seems like magic. Our premium and pure gold pieces are versatile, transformative, and practical. Our design philosophy merges minimalism with opulence, versatility with longevity. Curating opulent and essential pieces that take you from day to evening, from brunch to black tie. It's not magic, it's alkeme gold.
Made with love in the heart of NYC.
SUSTAINABLE
We responsibly source our precious metals from Peru, and acquire only the purist gold. We work directly with an amazing team of expert jewelers in New York City to deliver remarkably hand crafted pieces that are built to last a lifetime (see our guarantees here).
14k is ultra vibrant in color and incredibly durable. Planning to wear your Alkeme pieces everyday, to yoga or the beach and beyond? Rest assured that our pieces can withstand even the most strenuous activities.
10 and 14 karat gold doesn't tarnish as fast as 18k and 24k, and it is highly resistant to scratching, bending, and scuffing. Its color is slightly less expressive than 18 karat gold, making it the optimal choice for your everyday looks.
EQUITABLE
You may wonder how our pieces are priced so well? We mine our gold in South America, design, and manufacture every piece in our product line. As third generation jewelers, we have confidently mastered the art of precious metals and eliminated the various, and often unnecessary, jewelry industry standard of 3 phases of exchange. We source and deliver each final piece directly to you, sans the middlemen. By streamlining and simplifying the process, we've successfully removed the surplus cost and are able to provide the finest quality gold at the fairest price possible.
Our promise: No industry markups, gold ‘plated’ (vermeil), or subpar metal. Our entire line is guaranteed solid gold, always.
