Allow us to introduce the Custom Raw Diamond Slice Halo ring. This custom engagement ring design is called The Sun and the Moon Ring and features a striking raw yellow diamond slice measuring almost 2ct in weight! The gemstone is surrounded by accent diamonds and set in 14k yellow gold.
A more classic version of this ring is set with a traditional clear diamond, surrounded by smaller accent stones. These designs are available to order with a variety of gemstones, in yellow, rose or white gold.

Moissanite Rosetta Engagement Ring

Anouk Jewelry is known for creating alternative engagement rings with unusual stones, such as this unique blue moissanite, surrounded by a halo of diamonds and set in our vintage rosetta engagement ring design. Moissanites come in a wide variety of hues to match any colour palette, making them one of the most versatile gemstones out there. In addition to their striking appearance, moissanites boast of an impressive hardiness, and are well suited gem of choice for engagement rings and jewelry pieces to be worn on a daily basis.

Man-made gemstones are a great alternative to the more traditional stones such as diamonds or sapphires. Being a lab-created gemstone, moissanites are actually one of the most environmentally friendly gemstones, as no mining is involved in their production. Ethically-minded couples choose moissanites for this reason as well!

Our vintage-style rosetta engagement ring features an almost 2 carat blue moissanite and a halo of accent diamonds, set in 14k white gold. With its size and the stone’s lustre, this ring stands out as the real star of the day!
Featured on the gorgeous Joy Wed blog, the ring steals the show on the hand of the beautiful Bride.
Anouk Jewelry’s Vintage Rosetta engagement ring is a timeless favourite, and has been set with clear and champagne diamonds, peach and green sapphires, moissanites and other gemstones. A halo of diamonds completes the glamorous look, making this one of our clients’ all-time beloved choices!

In this featured style-shoot the bride wears the Blue Moissanite Vintage Rosetta Engagement ring, paired with our nature-inspired Triple Leaf band from the Anouk Jewelry’s Golden Leaves collection.

As with all of Anouk Jewelry designs, these pieces are available in yellow, white or rose gold, set with your choice of gemstones. Which stone would you choose for your vintage rosetta ring?

Boho Wedding with a Seafoam Blue Sapphire Engagement ring

A timeless classic, the seafoam blue sapphire is the star of our Leaves Prong Sapphire Solitaire engagement ring. Set in a nature-inspired gold leaf design, the yellow gold band beautifully accentuates the light blue gemstone. Part of our Golden Leaves series, this design features the three-quarter carat seafoam sapphire set with four prongs, with three delicate gold leaves sculpted to the side. Raised off the band, this alternative engagement ring is able to be stacked with most of our classic, as well as the unique and non-traditional wedding bands. And if blue gemstones aren’t your cup of tea, you can always opt for another colour, or a clear gemstone as well.

The Dainty Seashore wedding band is a great choice for brides who wish to keep the focus on the engagement ring. Its delicate design makes it wonderfully suited to fit well with most rings. Simple yet elegant, it is part of our Seashore collection and is finished with the signature texture, inspired by the sandy beaches and the ocean. To suit any bride, the seashore band design comes in dainty, extra-fine, or full width at 3mm wide. As with all Anouk Jewelry pieces, you are able to choose between yellow, rose or white gold.

Many couples prefer to match their wedding bands, and we’re happy to offer the grooms our collection of Seashore bands for men. This particular wedding band is 8mm wide, and is a wider variation of a classic 6mm Seashore Mens Wedding Band. Both wedding bands share the same hand-hammered texture and they look great as a couple, wouldn’t you agree?

We’re so happy to be featured on the gorgeous Today’s Bride blog, celebrating all things tropical and Boho! The talented team beautifully showcased our collection pieces and we’re so proud to have been a part of this Boho Tropical wedding style photoshoot!

Celebrating Anouk Jewelry’s 10th Anniversary!

Category: Alternative Engagement, Unique Engagement Rings, Wedding bands

This month Anouk Jewelry turned 10 years young!
We received dozens of heart-warming birthday wishes from our fans and clients, and celebrated this momentous milestone with our first ever Instagram giveaway! Thank you to all our followers, for supporting our art and reaching out with kind birthday wishes!

Allowing our imagination lead the way, we’re inspired daily by the most unique gems, creating alternative bridal, heirloom jewelry, and more.

Every day of the last ten years we’ve felt incredibly fortunate to be able to do something we’re passionate about. We have enjoyed very much meeting hundreds of the loveliest and kindest people, who share our values, and love for the world we all live in.

While our main passion is designing signature pieces and creating heirloom jewelry reusing family gemstones, we also care deeply about Nature, and the preservation of the environment. The world around us is our biggest inspiration, and we honour it with our Golden Leaves collection and our Seashore line, among others. Caring for the environment is of paramount importance to us, and we honour this commitment by using ethically mined gemstones such as raw diamonds, sapphires and lab created stones, and working with casting gold, which is mostly recycled.
And did you know, Anouk Jewelry plants a tree for every piece purchased?

In the past ten years, in addition to designing the Anouk Jewelry line, Anat also published a charming children’s book for the very young.
As well, to help preserve the source of all life on this planet, Anat started a fundraising jewelry project, Okéan Collection. Our goal with this line is to clean up the oceans, through beautiful and wearable jewelry. We invite you to check these out via the links.

We look forward to seeing what the next decade brings!
Hopefully, you are there with us! And if you aren’t already, please join us on Instagram

We’re seeing the new year through rose glasses – take a look!

The lovely folks at Wreath and Rose have created a beautiful and romantic wedding style inspiration featuring our Vintage Rosetta with a Peach Sapphire ring. And the spring 2020 edition of Today’s Bride Magazine is featuring the gorgeous post in its pages, on the stands now. We simply couldn’t be more pleased to be included in such a lovely company!

The Vintage Rosetta is a romantic ring design. It is inspired by the classic style and is a timeless alternative engagement ring. Adding a personal twist, Anouk Jewelry sets the Rosetta with a variety of gemstones to fit any shape or colour preference, and personal taste.
From salt-and-pepper diamonds, to blue, green and peach sapphires, from clear and champagne diamonds to man-made moissanites, this ring design is so versatile, it may fit any style.
Surrounding the main stone are accent diamonds (clear, or coloured) or sapphires, depending on your preference.
Each engagement ring is sculpted by hand, and then typically cast in 14k gold in the colour of your choice. We offer yellow, white and rose gold, and 10k and 18k gold, as well as platinum or palladium options are available upon request.
Vintage Rosetta is made to stack and sits above the wedding band.
When ordering a wedding ring set from Anouk Jewelry, we’ll happily consult you on the suitable wedding band options, creating a matching set of rings to compliment each other in style, colour and texture.
Take a look at our collection of non-traditional engagement ring and drop us a line to book a consultation!
