Job Description

Who We Are

FoundRae is more than a fine jewelry brand—it is a reflection of self-expression and transformation. Each piece is designed as a modern heirloom, imbued with symbols and stories drawn from archetypal, mythological, and classical traditions. Through our collection, we invite wearers to embrace their personal narratives, aspirations, and growth—wearing their values and intentions close to their hearts or hands.

Our work is rooted in the belief that everything you seek already exists within you. At FoundRae, we create meaningful pieces that act as both reminders and declarations of one’s journey and identity.
