From beads to jewelry, Aurelgrooves processing of your jewelry is a pretty complex 4 step procedure.

It all starts sometime around payday at the beadstore, where retail vendors mark up their beads up to 800% from the price they probably paid overseas. Unlike the bead lady, Aurelgrooves rarely gets to purchase beads firsthand from these exotic locations. When finally presented with the opportunity to travel to the silk road trading post, Aurelgrooves eats a tainted kebab in Istanbul and spends the day in the hotel bed/bathroom. In which case, Aurelgrooves turns to alternate vendors, scours a stepmother's old jewelry box and gladly accepts bead donations from family and friends.

Once raw bead products are received, they are organized by size and color, shown off to friends and acquaintances and often ruminate in the Aurelgrooves bead area for one to two weeks. Once ready for assembly, an intensive multivariate wavelets analysis is performed to discern the nested patterns of various scales found in nature, and apply them to produce a unique pattern of colors and sizes that best suits each bead and associated pendant. Certain patterns are also inspired by pop culture icons, an afternoon scouting expedition on a local patio.

Upon completion of an Aurelgrooves necklace, bracelet or earrings, the product is rigorously tested for style, quality and wearability. The test subject is often a friend, roommate or colleague who wears the item to a happy hour, lecture, night on the town, tupperware party or blind date and evaluates the Aurelgrooves merchandise according to several criteria. Does the necklace receive numerous compliments? From males or females? Does it itch or scratch? Does it get stuck in the hair, or does it catch and damage delicate fabrics? It is too heavy? Does someone offer to buy it or ask where the wearer purchased it? (in this case, the well instructed test subject credits Aurelgrooves with their honest testimonial and distributes business cards) How well can it compliment today's latest fashions? Most importantly, does it exude the confidence and flair one expects from Aurelgrooves products?

If the merchandise excels in its initial evaluation, it is often kept at Aurelgrooves for further study of its social endearing processes, and only replicas are sold to the public. If the test subject grows very attached to the item (well part of the large-scheme Aurelgrooves plan) it can often be negotiated for purchase. Alas, when dealing with friends, the item is simply bartered for cat-caring, liquor, massages or transportation. The top of the line Aurelgrooves products are scanned (at work...shhhh) and placed on www.aurelgrooves.com for public perusing and ordering. However, it is acknowledged that the style particular to Aurelgrooves does not meet everyone's fancy. The items shown here are the more peculiar, and unique. Aurelgrooves is able to reproduce any typical-low-quality-commercially-available product (ahem express, limited, urban outfitters..) at half the cost and twice the quality, you need only inquire within: inquirewithin@aurelgrooves.com
