Inspired by Family
Auzrum is a family business. Founded in 2020.
Inspired by an idea shared by our grandmother, our aunt started selling gold jewelry in the early 1990s as a way to supplement her income while she completed her studies and worked part-time at a pizza place. Her determination and passion had a ripple effect and inspired other women in our family to also start their own side business while working full-time.
Fast forward to 2020, al the women in the family came together to create Auzrum with the goal of inspiring other women to start their own jewelry side business as well and gain the financial freedoms and confidence that they now enjoyed.
We love gold jewelry. We love it for it’s timeless beauty, enduring financial value and emotional power. We only curate the most beautiful pieces of jewelry for our team because we know that each gold item could become a long-lasting family heirloom.

As we think to the future, we want Auzrum to continue having a positive ripple effect on the lives of women. Our Auzrum family is made of intelligent, hardworking and resourceful immigrant and first-generation women - some are bilingual and some are Spanish-speaking only. We provide our services in English and Spanish and hope to expand to other languages soon.
