Sauer Opens First U.S. Store
The Brazilian jewelry brand made a home on New York City’s Madison Avenue with exclusive pieces only available at the location.
Sauer’s first storefront in the U.S. is located at 800 Madison Avenue. Its two floors are designed to combine Brazil’s Cubic Modernism with Manhattan’s Art Deco style.
New York—Sauer, a Brazilian-based brand, opened its first U.S. store in New York City last month.
Located at 800 Madison Avenue, the 1,000-square-foot store spans two floors designed by Estudio Tupi from São Paulo, Brazil.
The store combines designs from architecture in Brazil and Manhattan with Art Deco windows, Jacaranda wood furniture, cantilevered tables, and Cubist Cobogó panels as a tribute to Brazilian Modernism.
The second level of Sauer’s new space hosts a salon for private appointments.
It also exhibits custom designs with rare gems and minerals from the brand’s collection that previously lived in the family museum in Rio de Janeiro for decades.

A salon for private appointments is located on the second floor of Sauer’s Madison Avenue store.
While this store is Sauer’s first location in the U.S., the brand already has an established connection in New York City’s art scene.
“Sauer’s work is well known in New York City, where we have always sought to maintain ties and create partnerships that today give us the certainty that we are in the right place and on the right path,” said Gabriel Sauer, co-CEO of Sauer.
“Opening the first Sauer flagship outside of Brazil and on Madison Avenue is a remarkable milestone for our brand as we expand globally.”
Sauer launched the “Sauer Artist Prize” at The Armory Show in the Javits Center three years ago. The award honors an exhibiting artist of excellence with $10,000.
The 2024 winner was Oliver Herring, a Brooklyn-based visual artist.
Sauer also participates in New York Fashion Week and is currently collaborating with fashion designer Jason Wu.
Along with the opening of this new store in November, Sauer designed nine exclusive pieces available only at its Madison Avenue store.
These pieces reflect on Sauer’s three pillars—art, nature, and spirituality, said the brand.
A standout of these pieces is a serpentine-style “Suzanne” necklace that showcases a 19-carat diamond set in 18-karat yellow gold.
The “Suzanne” necklace features a 19-carat diamond set in 18-karat yellow gold (price upon request). It is a Madison Avenue exclusive.
From the “Ethos” collection, the “Star Cluster Clarity” earrings use a cluster of pearls and rock crystal to showcase 18-karat yellow gold and diamond stars ($17,300).
The “Aurora” bracelet from the “Ethos” collection has agate and quartz set in 18-karat yellow gold ($17,650).
The newness doesn’t stop here for Sauer.
The opening of its new location also coincided with the debut of the “Ethos” high jewelry collection.
It combined classic and contemporary designs across necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, and a brooch with emeralds, tourmalines, diamonds, and lapis.
“In partnership with artisans, the true guardians of Sauer’s codes, we work to transform stones into timeless sculptures that cross generations and surpass trends,” said Stephanie Wenk, creative director of Sauer.
“As I imagined the lives of our New York collectors and we planned for our first store outside of Brazil that would be among the finest luxury shops and art galleries on Madison Avenue, I developed an exclusive high jewelry collection with this culture and style in mind.”
