Our Origin Story
Other than her bright personality that left us vibrant memories to look back on, one of the ways my grandmother made sure her legacy lived on was by passing on her jewelry to the women she loved. The older she got, the more frequent the gifting. By the time she passed away, she had already gifted me the pieces she intended for me - and I haven't taken them off since.
To her and most others from her time and place, jewelry meant timeless 18K solid gold pieces with actual gold value.
When I started buying jewelry as an adult, I'd visit Lebanon and see nothing but 18K solid gold, priced in the same range many U.S. brands charge for 14K or even plated and vermeil.
It made the gap impossible to ignore, and with my grandma’s passing, I’ve realized it’s time to reintroduce her philosophy to the world.
All Ange Hadid pieces are made from 18 Karat solid gold, and are transparently and reasonably priced based on their actual gold weight, not by hype — just the way it should be. Our pieces are ethically crafted by artisans from Italy and Lebanon, will last innumerable lifetimes, and will get you actual gold within accessible prices.
If, like me, you or someone you love enjoy decorating yourselves, I hope this little corner of the internet won’t disappoint.

Why 18K?
-
The Gold Standard
18K is globally recognized as the benchmark for true fine jewelry. It contains 75% pure gold, compared to 14K’s 58%. That difference shows up in everything: the richer, warmer color, the durability, and its intrinsic value. In the U.S., 18K has been gatekept, reserved for luxury maisons with impossible markups or relegated to old-school jewelers. We’re changing that.

An Investment You Can Wear
Unlike plated or vermeil pieces that lose worth the moment you buy them (i.e., Fake Gold), 18K gold isn’t just jewelry. It’s value you can hold. Like the stock market, gold is an investment class in itself. Unlike stocks, though, your gold isn’t tucked away in a portfolio. You get to live with it, wear it, and pass it down. It can be worn for life, repaired, resold, or melted down and reused indefinitely.

Quality & Sustainability
Why 18K instead of 14K?
Because “actually-fine” isn’t negotiable to us! 18K is 75% pure gold (vs. 14K = 58%) and that's the global fine-gold standard. With 18K, you get real gold value, a richer golden color, and far better resistance to tarnish and skin irritation.
Are your pieces suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes! Our jewelry is solid 18K gold with a nickel-free alloy, so it’s naturally hypoallergenic. No plating, no brass, no mystery metals.
How do you approach ethical and sustainable sourcing?
We source from vetted ateliers who use recycled 18K gold wherever possible and keep production low-waste. We prioritize partners who are Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC)–certified. Meaning, documented supply chains, fair-labor standards, and environmental stewardship.
Jewelry Care
Can I wear my Ange Hadid jewelry every day?
YES! That’s the whole point! Our pieces are made of solid 18K gold. Never plated, never filled, so they’re built for real life, not a jewelry box. You can shower, sleep, sweat, and live in them without worrying about green skin or tarnish.
How do I take care of my Ange Hadid jewelry?
18k solid gold will last forever.
- If your jewelry gets dirty, gently clean it with a soft cloth and mild soap
- Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals like chlorine or bleach
- Everyday stuff like perfume, sunscreen, hairspray, and lotion won’t ruin the gold, but over time, they might leave a film that can get cleaned off
- Store your jewelry in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratching and tangling
