Our story
We hunt for silver with a past
Susaura is two people with the same habit: we can’t walk past a tray of old jewellery without turning over every piece. What started as a shared obsession became a small shop on Depop, and now it has a home of its own.
We look for silver that has already lived a life. It might be a signet worn smooth, a Siam bracelet made for a 1930s traveller or a modernist ring nobody else noticed. Then we clean it gently, test it, weigh it and photograph it honestly.

How we choose
Silver first, then character
Real silver, a design with something to say, and a condition we’d wear ourselves. Most of what we see doesn’t make the cut.
How we test
Acid, magnet, hallmark, scale
Every piece is acid tested, checked with a magnet, photographed at its marks and weighed in grams. How we test silver
Why one of one
Nothing is restocked
When a piece sells it stays on the site marked Sold, so you can always see what we’ve found.
The name
Susa, one of the world’s oldest cities, and aura, the glow old silver has.
Our griffin mark is drawn from an ancient gold armlet, the kind of treasure that sent us looking in the first place.
