Automic Gold is a fine jewelry brand founded in 2016 by Al Sandimirova. With a focus on creating radically wearable fine jewelry for everyone, Automic Gold offers high-quality, affordable pieces that complement any style. All jewelry is made in New York City from reclaimed solid gold, embodying the brand's commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. Automic Gold jewelry is designed to mix and warp the feminine, masculine, in-between, and outside to make fine jewelry that is beyond gender.
Al, the Founder, and CEO of Automic Gold, immigrated to the United States as an LGBTQ+ refugee in 2009 and started working in jewelry stores, a precious metals refinery, and sold other designers’ jewelry. This led them to pursue an education in fine jewelry making, studying at esteemed institutions such as the Gemological Institute of America and jewelry schools including Studio Jewelers and Jewelry Arts School. In 2017, Al was accepted into and graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10KSB Tory Burch Foundation program and since then Automic Gold has been featured in Forbes, Vogue, Refinery29, HuffPost, and Glamour, along with many other publications and news outlets.
