About The Brand
A small-batch jewelry concept boutique anchored in vintage.
Not excess — emphasis.
Origin Story
Aupostrophe was born from a belief that what threads a story together is often what goes unnoticed at first glance. In writing, it’s punctuation. In fashion, it’s jewelry.
The small details are never small.
I’m Tameika Lawrence the founder behind Aupostrophe.
Over a decade ago while working in fashion in New York — assisting, writing, and editing — I started collecting vintage jewelry.
Each design felt like a piece of fashion history. Stories of craftsmanship rooted in the slower processes of a different era, shaped by different priorities, and made with a level of care that is increasingly rare.
Over time, the collection grew with the intention to preserve a living archive of small, wearable mementos.
Plot Twist
Although I’d pivoted my career from fashion to tech by the late 2010s, I kept collecting vintage. In 2024, after nearly a decade of collecting I realized many of these pieces were sitting unseen and art deserves to be experienced. Not just stored.
What was born from that shift is an independent self-funded, small brand rooted in sustainability, intention, and a deep belief in what these pieces represent.
Aupostrophe is a small-batch jewelry concept store anchored in vintage.
Each piece is individually sourced, researched, and curated – connected by a concept, mood, material, or moment in time.
Modern Chapter
At its core, Aupostrophe is grounded in classic design with a point of view.
You’ll find pieces that lean softly feminine, occasionally bold, and sometimes unexpected with an artful attention to contrast, texture, sculptural forms, and organic materials.
Alongside vintage, Aupostrophe offers a small modern capsule.
These are timeless, foundational pieces designed to layer seamlessly with vintage or stand on their own. Quiet counterparts — refined, minimal, and enduring.
Jewelry that can shift a look.
