Our Story

ABOUT MADAÉ by MADISON JAMES 

MADAÉ is a modern heirloom jewelry house creating bespoke, history-inspired pieces that celebrate individuality, evoke emotion, and give meaning to the moments we hold close. From bold, gemstone-centered designs to personalized treasures, each design is handcrafted using ethically sourced gemstones and conflict-free diamonds, created by artisan goldsmiths and silversmiths. All while giving back through our humanitarian work by supporting the education of women and child welfare — two causes that are deeply personal to the founder.

The brand was originally founded by Aimee Marie, a long time antique jewelry collector and educator. Her love of jewelry and art began at a very young age. Adorning herself in bespoke jewelry pieces provided her with the freedom of expression and confidence at such a young age. As time passed, art and design would serve as a means of emotional expression through drawing, designing jewelry, and painting. Creating something beautiful out of difficulties. In due time, that healing became Madison James -named after her children. Eventually, the names of her two children were morphed together to create a new simple name.

MADAÉ 

She didn’t just want to design jewelry.
"I wanted to create pieces that remind women of who they are when the world tries to make them forget. Women who are rebuilding. Women who are rising. Women who refuse to be defined by what they’ve been through."
This brand was built with a purpose:  The woman who keeps going. The woman who chooses herself again and again. Your past does not define you. Your power does. "And if my story helps even one woman remember her own strength, then every step of this journey has been worth it."
