In 2021 Anouk Jewelry created unique golden leaves designs, custom diamond halo rings and aquamarine signature pieces. We shared many one of a kind designs with our Instagram followers. Enjoy this collection of our nine best loved designs of the past year. Feast your eyes on these alternative engagement rings and non-traditional wedding bands. We’d love to hear from you, so let us know which piece captures your imagination!

Anouk Jewelry best loved ring designs — Our “Best of 2021” as seen on Instagram

Anouk Jewelry brings new life to old family jewelry, and creates brand new custom diamond halo from scratch. We delight in designing alternative engagement rings and uniquely textured wedding bands!

In the following image we present you a grouping of our signature Wedding Bands. Our designer Anat sculpts all the rings by hand and no two pieces are quite alike! You may choose between our Timeless band set (fancy a diamond or two in your custom version?), our ever popular Seashore set (reminding you of that special beach vacation) or the Golden Wreath band for nature lovers. Prefer a little more bling? Take a look at our other designs to choose from over here.

Custom Diamond Halo and Sea-foam Inspired Aquamarine Rings

If you’ve been following us for a while, you probably know Anat’s favourite colour combination. Many of our signature jewelry is warm yellow gold paired with aquamarines and teal sapphires. The two rings below showcase the harmony of shimmering sea foam coolness and the warm gold hues.

Aquamarine and diamonds one of a kind gold ring created by hand in Toronto, Canada

One of our original signature pieces, the Inspiration Well ring features a round aquamarine. It is flanked by two accent diamonds, and set in 14k yellow gold. The treasures of the ancient worlds are endless inspiration for this design.

Partial diamond halo ring with aquamarine, alternative engagement ring from Toronto

Speaking of the colour harmony, our Sun and the Moon ring is a perfect example of the pairing of teal and yellow gold. Anat set the oval aquamarine with a partial diamond halo and cast the ring in 14k yellow gold.

Aquamarines are beautiful, but they’re not well suited for everyday wear. For a lasting engagement ring you’ll want a hardier stone. Sapphires are truly majestic and come in all colours! They are almost as durable as diamonds and therefor perfectly suitable for everyday wear. We love creating bespoke engagement rings with these shimmering gemstones.
This one of a kind solitaire design features a rough cut Montana Sapphire. Anat set this stone in a custom 14k yellow gold bezel with little gold nuggets hugging the solitaire.

And if you’re in search of that perfectly non-traditional wedding band, may we suggest our Seafoam Diamond band. The band is set with accent diamonds, and curves delicately to fit under a gemstone of an engagement ring. This design reminds us of the sea foam on that special beach vacation! Turn this wedding band into a bespoke piece by reusing old family diamonds.

Heirloom jewelry, bespoke rings and reusing family gemstones

And speaking of creating heirloom jewelry and reusing family gold and gemstones, look at the two rings below. These custom designs incorporate family diamonds and reuse old gold. Family history is meaningful and we love bringing new life to a bespoke piece!

The Golden Leaves ring features family diamonds, set in 14k rose gold. This versatile design can accommodate any number of gemstones.

Old family diamonds redesigned in a new ring with gold leaves

The set below features a custom diamond halo heirloom ring. In this ring design we reused family gold and set little family diamonds. In the centre there is a stunning pear shaped peach-brown diamond. Next to it is our Seashore Mens band. It is a true favourite with our nature loving grooms.

And last, but not least, the Constellation necklace. Anouk Jewelry created it recently. This custom necklace features a one of a kind design replicating the Capricorn constellation. The necklace is set with our client’s birthstones of diamonds and turquoise.

Anouk Jewelry loves creating nature-inspired Boho alternative engagement rings for brides with an individual style and a non-traditional vibe. Our sapphire ring collection features several Golden Leaves rings, set with coloured sapphires. Ocean-inspired seafoam teal sapphire solitaire ring is one such example, where the blue sea meets the golden sands in one unique engagement piece!

Our friends at Today’s Bride Canada put together the loveliest bridal style photoshoot to showcase the rings, and the gorgeous Boho – Tropical themed wedding style, and we invite you to take a look and get inspired!

The beautiful boho bride is wearing our Triple Leaf teal, or seafoam sapphire ring, set with four prongs. A variation of this design features a seafoam blue sapphire ring set in a round bezel, for a slightly different look. Complimenting the look is one of our favourites – the hand sculpted, high-texture dainty delicate wedding band from the Seashore collection. In one look we combine our love for the Sea and the golden sands of the beach. Wearing these rings, the sandy beach and the blue waves will be with you, all year round!

For the men, we have created one of our best-loved wedding bands, the Mens Seashore Band in yellow gold. Fully customizable, it is available in rose, white or yellow gold, with straight or curved edges for best fit!
Beach-inspired, the hammered look is both unique and manly, and fits perfectly well with the Bride’s Seashore band.

Unique Engagement and Talisman Rings

Category: Alternative Engagement, Blue Sapphire Rings, Custom Rings, Engagement Rings, Raw Diamond Rings, Unique Engagement Rings, Updates

Anouk Jewelry specializes in creating unique engagement and wedding rings for people who prefer custom designs and individual approach to wedding jewelry. Collaborating with clients who choose our collections, we come up with a design that echos the individuality of the wearer, and compliments their sensibility and style.

We are inspired by the natural beauty of the gemstones, often choosing to create rings featuring rustic colour sapphires and raw diamonds. Pieces set with such stones guarantee your engagement ring truly stands out as one of a kind!

Rose cut rustic diamond and sapphire halo ring for alternative engagement

This alternative engagement ring is cast in 14k rose gold, featuring a rose-cut rustic diamond and surrounded by a halo of small accent sapphires. The combination of rustic diamond and sapphires creates a romantic look and makes a statement! The coloured rustic diamond is sure to invite a lot of compliments.

All of our pieces use gemstones that are responsibly sourced, including diamonds that adhere to Kimberly process. We often use lab grown or man-made diamonds and other gemstones, which bypass the mining process altogether.

The ring below is one of our most beloved designs, the Vintage Rosetta ring. This is an incredibly versatile design that can be altered and customized to suit many styles (and budgets). Choosing a central stone would be the first step – are you a diamond, a sapphire, or a moissanite lover? Do you prefer yellow gold? Do you wear mostly white gold jewelry? Or do you fancy rose gold, set with a peach gemstone? This design is only limited by your imagination!
This piece is cast in yellow gold and set with a peach sapphire, surrounded by a halo of accent diamonds.

As a nature lover, Anouk Jewelry designer, Anat, is frequently inspired by the textures and shapes found in nature. One of our newest collections, the Golden Leaves collection, features many delicate rings inspired by the renewal of spring. This following ring is the Triple Leaf Prong solitaire. It features a central three-quarter carat teal sapphire, held up by four petals, and offset by three golden leaves.

Blue sapphire engagement ring with gold leaves, made in Toronto

As with the Vintage Rosetta, this design welcomes variations. Closely resembling the prong solitaire, this design has the central stone set in a bezel. It’s available in white and yellow gold, set with diamonds, sapphires, or any other gemstone of your choice.

Nature inspired blue sapphire engagement ring, made in Toronto

And finally, although most often we create alternative engagement rings and non-traditional wedding bands, we also love designing one of a kind statement pieces for discerning clients. Our imagination and creativity flow freely to create spectacular talisman pieces, such as this Goddess Athena ring. This signature ring is cast in 14k yellow gold and set with nine blue sapphires of different shapes, hues and sizes.

All of our designs are available in yellow, white or rose gold, as well as platinum and palladium.

Celebrating Love with a Nature Inspired Engagement Ring

Category: Alternative Engagement, Blue Sapphire Rings, Bridal Inspiration, Unique Engagement Rings

The Triple Leaf Solitaire is one of Anouk Jewelry‘s staples of alternative engagement rings. This ring is one of our Golden Leaves collection, which honours the Natural world, which we are all a part of. This unique engagement ring design is inspired by nature and features a single gemstone set in a bezel (or supported by prongs), and three gold leaves sculpted next to it.

True to its tagline, “A Touch of Spring Time, Wherever You Are” this collection celebrates the Spring. The awakening natural world brings with it a sense of renewed energy and growth. Many couples choose to get engaged in the spring, feeling inspired by the optimism of the fresh new world around.
The Triple Leaf Solitaire ring design features sculpted golden leaves, recalling the new plants coming up, and a gemstone (or two!) set beside the leaves.
Most of Anouk Jewelry engagement rings are custom made. We do our best to find the perfect gemstone for each couple. Depending on individual preferences, this engagement ring design has previously been created with diamonds, teal sapphires, salt and pepper and pink diamonds. The sparkling diamonds are bathed in the warmth of a 14k yellow gold setting!

The choice of a gemstone reflects the bride’s individuality and creates a certain mood. For an alternative feel, take a look at this Triple Leaf Blue Sapphire Solitaire. Here the bride chose a blue sapphire set it in 14k white gold. What a difference! This timeless colour combination creates a classic and elegant engagement ring.

Blue sapphire white gold engagement ring inspired by nature

For yet another nature-inspired unique engagement ring look, you may choose to highlight the sapphire or the diamond with a prong setting. Prongs support the gemstones from below, leaving the sides open to let in the light and enhance the sparkle! Echoing the gold leaves of the design, the prongs are sculpted gold leaves as well, hugging the diamond and the sapphire like a precious flower, from four sides. Would you choose this pink diamond, or the three-quarter seafoam sapphire?

When creating your engagement ring, Anouk Jewelry sources ethically mined gemstones of the highest quality, and uses recycled gold in most of our castings. We give back to the natural world, which is our frequent inspiration, by planting a tree for each piece of jewelry sold!

Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring with Diamonds

Category: Alternative Engagement, Blue Sapphire Rings, Bridal Inspiration, Engagement Rings, Photo-Shoots, Sapphire Rings, Unique Engagement Rings, Updates

The Nature is awakening and the wedding season is just around the corner. The bright colours are once again shining all around us, just like in this beautiful Anouk Jewelry Vintage Rosetta with the Blue Sapphire engagement ring with diamonds!

One of the classics, and most versatile of our designs, this stunning Vintage Rosetta has been created to showcase a variety of gemstones. Depending on the bride’s personal style and preferences, the Vintage Rosetta design may be set with a champagne diamond, a green sapphire, a moissanite, a tourmaline and other colourful gemstones.

This alternative engagement ring gives a nod to the vintage vibe with its timeless style. The use of white accent diamonds serves to enhance the colourful lustre of the more-than-half-carat round blue sapphire.

For brides inspired by the royal ring design, perhaps the Oval Vintage Rosetta is more your cup of tea. The sky is the limit when it comes to a hand made, unique engagement ring design by Anouk Jewelry!

The use of the material is entirely up to our clients. You may choose between yellow, white or rose gold, as well as platinum and palladium for your one of a kind engagement ring.
The metal colour choice for the ring is frequently guided by the skin tone and personal preferences. Some of our favourite colour combinations for engagement rings are yellow gold rings set with green sapphires, and white gold rings with blue sapphires. On the other hand, rose gold engagement rings beautifully enhance the warm glow of champagne diamonds or peach sapphires.

The choice of the gemstone is guided by the personal preferences as well. Boho brides who are inspired by Nature, may be reminded of the eternal spring by our Green Sapphire collection. For a unique and one of a kind look that honours the Earth’s gifts, you are welcome to browse the alternative engagement rings from our Raw Diamond collection.

The images of the Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring with Diamonds were captured by our talented friend Whitney Heard Photography.

Do you have a favourite?

Vintage inspired ring with diamonds, alternative engagement

The Vintage Rosetta ring is a very versatile design. We have set it before with champagne diamonds, salt and pepper diamonds, peach, green and blue sapphires, moissanites and other stones. It is inspired by a classic design and remains a timeless piece.

The Sun and the Moon ring features a bright .70ct diamond and a partial halo of shimmering accent diamonds.

Moon Crescent gold necklace with diamonds

The Sun and the Moon necklaces (which can be paired with the ring of the same title) features a hammered gold disc and shimmering accent diamonds set in a crescent formation. The pendant sits on a 14k yellow gold 16-inch necklace.

Tourmaline oval ring with diamonds, vintage rosetta untraditional engagement rings

This stunning oval Vintage Rosetta ring features a 1.27ct tourmaline and accent diamonds. While tourmalines are gorgeous, they are softer than sapphires and diamonds, and we always caution our clients to be mindful while wearing them. These gemstones are best as “sometimes” rings (as opposed to “everyday wear” rings).
Don’t you just love the teal and yellow gold combo?

Nature inspired green sapphire and gold leaves engagement ring

The Triple Leaf solitaire ring is part of our Golden Leaves collection and features a green sapphire, set against the yellow gold background. The sapphire reminds us of the green colour of the leaves, but this ring can be set with diamonds as well.

You’re welcome to get in touch with any questions! We’d love to hear from you.

Champagne Diamond Vintage Rosetta Wedding Ring Set

We were beyond happy, when one of our favourite photographers, Deanne MacRae, and her partner chose Anouk Jewelry ring and wedding bands to honour their love for each other as they were getting married. One of our most beloved designs, the Vintage Rosetta Halo ring is a versatile and timeless creation. Below, it is cast in 14k rose gold, and set with a central champagne diamond and a halo of clear diamonds. The warm peachy tones compliment each other, and suit the bride’s complexion beautifully!

Champagne diamond vintage rosetta ring, rose gold wedding bands

To match, the bride and the groom selected to have their wedding bands cast in rose gold as well. For HER, we created a dainty Spring Leaves band, which pairs beautifully with the more elaborate Vintage Rosetta. Inspired by Nature, this elegant band reveals a small dew-drop of glimmer – an accent diamond on one side, and three leaves coming together in a curve, allowing for stacking with a larger engagement ring on top of it.

For HIM, we created the Organic Mens band design, which is a simple yet distinct design. A wider band, its texture is smooth and flowing. True to its name, this alternative wedding band features organic lines, revealing a human touch in its lines.

rose gold wedding bands and vintage diamond engagement ring

As with all of Anouk Jewelry designs, these wedding bands and the engagement ring are available in yellow, white or rose gold. The Vintage Rosetta Halo design can be customized to feature a gemstone of your choice. For brides with a more traditional sensibility, we’ve created Diamond Vintage Rosettas. Lovers of colour may prefer it set with a peach sapphire. A Peach Sapphire Rosetta pairs perfectly with rose gold!

Vintage Rosetta makes a wonderful statement ring as well. You’ll be the focus of attention, wearing this gorgeous Tourmaline Rosetta.
Or how about this stunning teal moissanite ring creation? Man made, moissanites come in a variety of colours and don’t require mining. If you’re looking for the most ethically sourced gemstone, this could be the right gemstone for you!

Unique Engagement Ring for a Boho Bride

09.14.20
Category: Alternative Engagement, Bridal Inspiration, Engagement Rings, Peach Sapphire Rings, Photo-Shoots, Unique Engagement Rings, Updates

We at Anouk Jewelry love creating unique engagement ring designs for alternative brides. We are inspired by non-traditional gemstones, such as marquise sapphires and diamonds, and love setting them in our alternative engagement rings. Recently Today’s Bride featured our Marquise Champagne Sapphire Halo Ring in a gorgeous French Style wedding photoshoot created by the talented Audrey and Yuuna Events.

The Marquise Champagne Sapphire Halo ring is a variation of another Anouk design, the Marquise Diamond Solitaire Ring. Both are cast in 14k yellow gold, and feature a larger gemstone. As we frequently create custom designs and unique engagement rings, the gem selection varies according to personal preferences and budget.
If diamonds aren’t your cup of tea, we are happy to suggest a wonderful alternative in form of green sapphires. We created this beauty with a three-quarter carat green sapphire for a non-traditional engagement ring look.
We offer yellow, white and pink gold, as well as palladium for most of our designs.

The soft colours and the romantic look of this wedding inspiration remind us of the informal French country event. Relaxed backyard atmosphere serves as the perfect backdrop to our luxurious engagement ring. The marquise champagne sapphire ring pairs beautifully with one of our curved wedding bands. They are designed to match perfectly and showcase a larger gemstone of the engagement ring. Therefore, with, or without accent stones, a curved or a V-shaped wedding band would be the perfect background to a marquise gemstone engagement ring.

Audrey Varengue, of Audrey and Yuuna Events, planned this gorgeous French-inspired styled shoot. Here’s what she had to say about the inspiration. “I am from the south of France myself, and living in Canada now. My inspiration comes from there – the love and nostalgia of La Provence, cicadas and olive trees and blue French shutters. I wanted to create organic, romantic south of France décor with all that: sunflowers and lavender fields, olive trees, blue and white china, terracotta pots, baskets for the market, yummy french desserts and herbes de Provence.”

Moissanite Rosetta Engagement Ring

06.17.20
Category: Alternative Engagement, Bridal Inspiration, Engagement Rings, Photo-Shoots, Unique Engagement Rings

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?

Category: Alternative Engagement, Blue Sapphire Rings, Bridal Inspiration, Sapphire Rings, Unique Engagement Rings, Wedding bands

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!

03.12.20
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.
