Nature-Inspired Golden Leaf Rings

Category: Hammered gold rings, Wedding bands

Our Golden Leaf jewelry pieces feature Anouk Jewelry‘s signature hammered gold finish. Ranging from non-traditional wedding bands, to alternative engagement rings with diamonds or sapphires and unique earrings and necklaces, our Golden Leaves collection boasts dozens of nature-inspired rings designs.

This Leaf Infinity Wrap Ring is a fresh take on the traditional infinity band. It features ten accent diamonds and wraps three times around the finger. The band culminates playfully in a three-leaf motif, our signature golden leaf design element. More than just a wedding band, this hammered gold piece is a perfect stanature-inspired ring!

Deep Wreath Solitaire is a non-traditional alternative to an engagement ring. In this design, we replace the plain band with a wreath of golden leaves. This nature-inspired leaf ring features ten golden leaves – five on each side – supporting a seafoam sapphire in the centre. Hammered gold sculpted leaves show off the sapphire, providing a warm contrast to the shimmering teal of the seafoam gemstone. This design can be both a wedding band and an engagement ring, all in one!

Golden Wreath Band – alternative wedding band

This delicate band is perfect in its simplicity. Our Golden Wreath band in white gold features nine sculpted gold leaves. Three on one side, and six on the other. The white gold leaf band hugs the finger, reminding you of spring! This non-traditional leaf wedding band dips towards the meeting point. Thus, it is made to fit with a solitaire. The curve of the leaves creates a place for the engagement ring’s gemstone to nestle comfortably. For a more sparkling version of this band, check our Golden Wreath with Diamonds ring.

Speaking of diamonds, our Amid the Leaves with dew drops ring features a central diamond and two accent diamonds. Just like dew drops balance on the fresh green, the diamonds are set on the sculpted gold leaves. The sparkling stones echo the shimmer of little dew drops. This nature-inspired ring has a delicate sense of balance and a classic symmetry.

A grouping of Golden Leaves bands

And now, to the group of nature-inspired rings with golden leaf motif. The group features some of the rings we mentioned above.

Hammered gold bands in both yellow and white gold showcase some of our Golden leaf designs. Can you spot Amid the Leaves with Dewdrops ring on the right? And how about the Golden Wreath band in white gold? On the right, you can see our nature-inspired Leaf Wrap band. It is another take on the infinity band, with two groups of tiny golden leaves. And on the far left is our Leaf Twig band. It pairs a straight line of a traditional wedding band, with a dainty branch of golden leaves.

We’re obsessed with Teal Sapphire Rings!

02.15.23
Category: Blue Sapphire Rings, Sapphire Rings, Unique Engagement Rings

Sapphires are such versatile stones, and they range in colour from red and yellow all the way to green and blue. Blue-green and teal sapphires are our personal favourites. We love creating custom teal sapphire rings in warm yellow gold. Teal sapphires come in all shapes and sizes, and we’re obsessed! These gemstones offer endless variety.

Artisanal hammered gold ring with round blue green sapphire and diamonds

Above, is our Shimmering Dream ring. This is one of our classic designs. We love this dainty ring’s simple elegance! This hammered gold and teal sapphire ring features ten accent diamonds, set on the band’s shoulders. This design is highly versatile, and can be set with diamonds or other gemstones. The teal sapphire makes this ring effortlessly classic!

Teal Sapphire and diamond halo artisanal ring

As we mentioned previously, the gemstones themselves inspire us to create new designs. Meet Cleo, the gorgeous teal sapphire ring above. We named this design after the Greek goddess of History (and lyre playing). This design is vintage-inspired and speaks to us of elegant decadence of times gone by. It features an oval blue-green Montana sapphire weighing a whole carat. A halo of sixteen accent diamonds (F/G colour, VS-SI clarity) surround the shimmering sapphire. Montana sapphires are mined ethically in the US, making them a very desirable gemstone choice.

Artemis ring with gold leaves and blue green oval sapphire

And speaking of goddess rings – we are proud to introduce Artemis – the gorgeous teal sapphire ring with carved gold leaf flanking the sapphire. Accent diamonds on the leaves add sparkle to this intricate and one of a kind design! We named Artemis after the greek goddess of nature, wilderness among other things. This teal sapphire ring features an impressive 7x9mm heated teal sapphire, weighing over 3ct! We knew this sapphire required a brand new design to showcase its unique hue, brightness and shimmer!

Artisanal gold wedding band and sapphire ring, inspired by nature and made in Canada

And now, for something a bit different: a set of complimenting wedding band and engagement ring. The mens’ hammered gold wedding band features a subtle carving of a branch with three leaves. This is one of our latest wedding band designs, the Seashore Triple Leaf Mans band with our signature hammered gold Seashore texture. And beside it, echoing the three leaf design is our Three Leaf Prong Sapphire solitaire ring. This round teal sapphire ring has it all – the gemstone whispers to us of the ocean, while the three leaf accent is a nod to the natural beauty of trees which inspired the Golden Leaves collection. Both these pieces belong to our Golden Leaves collection.

Vintage Rosetta ring with Teal Oval sapphire and diamonds ring

And finally, saving the best for last – please welcome our beloved Vintage Rosetta! This vintage-inspired teal sapphire ring is a staple of Anouk Jewelry. Endlessly versatile, this design has featured both round and oval gemstones. This particular artisanal ring is set with a 1.54ct teal sapphire amid a halo of diamonds! We’ve had so many compliments on this ring. Drop us a line for a video of this amazing creation.

Well, we hope you enjoyed this brief story of teal sapphires, and agree that they are simply majestic! All of the designs in this post are fully customizable and can be cast in white, rose or yellow gold. As always, we are happy to set your ring with a gemstone of your choice.

Move aside, clear diamonds! As the weather grows colder, we invite you to warm up with the peachy, champagne and yellow gemstones. We at Anouk Jewelry love working with coloured gemstones. Their beauty is that each individual stone is unique in hue and colour. We love sapphires and diamonds especially, since they are very hardy and perfect for everyday wear. Creating peach sapphire rings and champagne diamond alternative engagement rings reminds us of ancient treasures!

Peach padparadscha sapphire ring with diamond halo

Padparadscha sapphires

The design above is our signature Rhea ring. Oval padparadscha sapphire is set in 14k hammered gold. A glistening halo of twenty diamonds surrounds the warmly peach sapphire. Padparadscha sapphires are some of the rarest of gemstones! They offer a unique mix of peach and pink that we absolutely adore. As you may expect, their rarity affects their price point.

asymmetric ring with gold leaves and peach sapphire, hammered rose gold

Pivoting slightly, the Asymmetric Spring Leaves ring above is cast in 14k rose gold. It features an oval peach sapphire and an accent diamond. Sculpted gold leaves hug the sapphire, as if it were a precious blossom on a delicate tree branch. Nature-inspired, it’s such a sweet reminder of the upcoming rebirth of spring!

Champagne Diamonds

But let’s take a break from the sapphires! It’s time to highlight champagne diamonds. Rich, warm hue of champagne diamonds are so enticing! Our Shimmering Dream ring above features a round 5mm champagne diamond, set in hammered yellow gold engagement ring. Ten accent diamonds decorate the band’s shoulder, adding to the ring’s sparkle!

Peach Sapphire magic

Speaking of peach sapphires: if your style is soft and romantic, these beauties may be just your cup of tea. Here an oval light peach sapphire sits in a lovely vintage-inspired Rosetta style ring. A halo of ten accent diamonds surrounds the central stone, and highlights its softly warm glow. This impressive full carat sapphire ring was featured in Vineyard Bride editorial, as well as in Hey Wedding Lady. (Thanks, Lucy Tran Photography and Swoon Weddings & Events!)

As for the size – the bigger the gemstone, the bigger the ring! This impressive peach sapphire sits in a rose gold halo ring. Fourteen accent diamonds surround it, like little sparkling stars orbiting a distant planet. This design is highly versatile, and it allows the stone to sit both vertically as here, and horizontally.

Here the halo consists of clear diamonds, however it can also feature champagne diamonds for that soft and warm look. We like pairing peach sapphires with rose gold for a harmonious look. This way the gemstone and the metal compliment each other.

large yellow sapphire statement ring in hammered gold

And finally, our signature ring – the Inspiration Well! This is a unique statement piece that looks stunning as a right hand ring. A custom design, it features a five and a half yellow sapphire! We’re in love with it, how about you?

As always, we make all our jewelry by hand. Therefor, we are happy to customize the designs above, to feature a gemstone of your choice. Also, we are happy to offer a choice of yellow, rose and white gold for all of our jewelry.

Artisanal Engagement Rings for Nature Lovers

Category: Alternative Engagement, Bridal Inspiration, Hammered gold rings, Pendants, Photo-Shoots, Unique Engagement Rings, Updates

Enjoy this Throwback Thursday which highlights Anouk Jewelry‘s artisanal engagement rings and alternative wedding bands. This inspirational photoshoot beautifully showcases our collections of boho engagement rings and nature-inspired dreamy wedding bands.

The result was our romantic Lookbook, a reflection on feminine beauty. It features a collection of handmade golden treasures and shimmering gemstones for boho lovers and dreamers.

A couple of years back we partnered with Kissed by Light Photography for this special project. Kissed by Light is Toronto’s leading photo studio specializing in maternity, boudoir and women’s portrait photography.

Jewelry for Nature Lovers

Our rings start off as wax models, lovingly made by hand. Then, we cast in recycled gold and create richly textured rings. The hammered gold shimmers and reflects the light. Finished by hand, each artisanal ring bares signs of human touch and is therefore one of a kind. This is because we believe our jewelry should be personal, individual and have its own unique character – just like the nature lover who wears it.

Green sapphire and diamonds rings made of recycled gold

Speaking of nature lovers – the photo above shows our green sapphire halo rings. These beautiful stones from our green sapphire collection are a great alternative to traditional engagement rings. Each stone has a particular hue and shimmer, changing colours under different lighting. So when looking at a sapphire ring every day one rediscovers it over and over, rarely seeing the same exact image twice!

As well, we offer free form designs and roughly cut sapphires for an even more particular look. Custom one of a kind rings make for a beautiful statement and a wonderful reflection of your individuality.

Unique statement rings with sapphires and diamonds

Adding a bit of a shimmer to the boho alternative wedding bands goes a long way. Small accent stones – diamonds, moissanites and sapphires add to the treasured heirloom look we love creating.

What about the necklaces?

There’s even more creative freedom in our Necklace collection! In our pendants and necklaces designs, we are happy to use softer stones – aquamarines, topaz and opals to name just a few.

Alternative Rings with Salt and Pepper Diamonds

Category: Alternative Engagement, Hammered gold rings, Unique Engagement Rings, Updates

Anouk Jewelry specializes in designing non traditional and bespoke engagement rings and wedding bands. The salt and pepper diamond is a great alternative to a classic white diamond ring. These diamonds are named after the black and white inclusions, which give the stone a silky gray and speckled look. Inclusions are small imperfections inside of a diamond. These inclusions can be black, white, or another color, and have many different shapes and sizes.

No two stones are identical, and therefor each gemstone is unique and one of a kind. And that’s exactly what we’re after! We love setting unique gemstones in personalized and custom pieces. Below, we have set a pear shaped salt and pepper diamond in a hammered white gold solitaire setting. Next to it is our popular Vintage Rosetta design in white hammered gold. It features a central half-carat salt and pepper diamond in a halo of accent diamonds.

Sapphire Engagement Rings in Hammered Gold

Category: Alternative Engagement, Hammered gold rings, Peach Sapphire Rings, Raw Diamond Rings, Unique Engagement Rings, Updates

Anat of Anouk Jewelry is inspired by the ancient treasures and gold jewelry of antiquity. Hand made, imperfect rings carry the human touches of the artisans who created them, making each piece truly one of a kind.
We believe our hammered gold alternative engagement rings should be unique, just as individual as the bride. Honouring the beauty of the natural world, we created the Raw Diamonds collection. It highlights diamonds in a wide variety of shapes, colours and sizes. In the image below you can see salt and pepper diamonds, roughly cut grey diamonds and raw diamonds. Set in hammered gold rings, these unique stones are a great way celebrate nature and the original state of diamonds. Many of our clients choose salt and pepper diamonds for their engagement rings. Each diamond has its own visible pattern and colour, which makes them unique.

Moissanite is a man-made gemstone. They don’t require mining, which makes them a more environmentally friendly choice for an alternative engagement ring. Moissanites come in a variety of colours and they are very hardy as well. For these reasons moissanites are a great option for a ring you would wear every day.

The white gold ring above with the blue stone is our Vintage Rosetta set with a blue moissanite. A halo of accent diamonds surrounds the central stone.

Many of Anouk Jewelry pieces feature a hammered gold texture. It is inspired by the sandy beaches we love, and hence we called this collection Seashore. Anat does the marking by hand, as she carves each piece in wax and applies finishing touches to every ring. The awakening spring Nature inspired our Golden Leaves collection.

Timeless classic is our Seashore Solitaire – a dainty and delicate hammered gold ring, featuring a diamond! And when you choose a Canadian diamond, you can be assured the stone is ethically mined. What a wonderful way to celebrate your connection to this land!

For a more colourful gemstone, we recommend sapphires. They are a wonderful choice for a unique hammered gold engagement ring. They are hardy and also come in a variety of colours, just like this luscious peach sapphire, which we set in rose gold and surrounded with a halo of accent diamonds.

The Moon is a popular necklace and earring design, whether in a form of a full disc or a sliver of a crescent.

Whether you prefer a plain Large Crescent Moon gold necklace, a diamond-studded hammered gold pendant, or a small and dainty pair of gold studs, the Moon / Crescent is a beautiful design that compliments any style.

Shining Star studs are a great option for a cute gift. Hammered yellow gold little studs add a lot of sparkle! For a slightly more elaborate look, we recommend inserting little accent diamonds to add that touch of sparkle!

The Sky is the limit when it comes to adding a bit of sparkle to your style. If larger diamonds shimmering on your fingers are not your jam, try adding some shimmer with a Starry Night necklace or a pair of Cloud Studs earrings!

We love working with coloured gemstones, and green sapphires are our go-to favourites. Another option is blue labradorites, such as this gemstone set in our Night Sky solitaire ring design! The yellow gold sets off the blue labradorite and creates a beautiful night sky illusion right on your finger!

Custom handmade rings: Bohemian, Rustic, Romantic

Anouk Jewelry is known for our handmade custom rings, hammered gold jewelry, teal green sapphire solitaires and diamond halo rings. Anouk Jewelry’s designer Anat recently gave an interview to Subkit, discussing her design philosophy and process.

“The treasures of ancient and natural worlds have captivated me since girlhood and are my inspirations for Anouk creations still today. In terms of inspiration, it’s funny as I was never into jewelry before starting making my own. When I studied art history, I saw jewelry from ancient Rome and Greece, and something clicked for me there. I was really fascinated by the ancient treasures. It was the opposite of modern jewelry, as every piece had a personality and character. Moscow-born, Israel-raised, and now Toronto-based, I solder a myriad of modern-day cultures with ancient mythology, crafting custom rings and jewelry a Roman goddess would wear”.

“Inspired by treasures of the ancient and natural world, every Anouk Jewelry creation is a piece of handcrafted art made in Toronto. We follow ethical and environmentally-sustainable practices, working with local suppliers and jewelry professionals.

We select only the highest-quality metals and individually chosen precious gemstones for our jewelry. Each Anouk Jewelry piece is an object of beauty, evoking a feel of treasure with an element of mystery, a personal message of its wearer. Often people ask us to reuse their pieces, and we are always happy to redesign old jewelry into custom heirloom rings.”

“Recently I realized I’ve created more than a thousand pieces for my clients, rings, necklaces, earrings, etc. Each piece represents a couple starting a life together, a mother celebrating her family by wearing a birthstone ring, or a woman reclaiming her womanhood and freedom after serving others. Each piece of jewelry represents a personal story, an heirloom created with the view of the future. I am honoured to be part of people’s lives and to help them create pieces of legacy and treasures.”

Anat also discussed the challenges of being a her own boss:
“When you are a business owner, you wear all these different hats. You are not only the designer, the producer, the bookkeeper, the marketing director – you are the one in charge. You are the one that’s ultimately responsible for all the good decisions, and also, unfortunately, for all the bad ones as well. Another difficulty is learning to manage your time so that you are effective in all the roles that you take upon yourself.”

When asked for a few words of advice, Anat had this to say to any designer at the start of their creative journey: “Love what you do. Listen to your clients, really listen to them. Always be open to learning and evolving.”

Anouk Jewelry gives back by planting a tree for every custom handmade ring, necklace or a pair of earrings purchased. To-date we’ve planted close to 800 trees across Canada! Check out the little tree logo at the bottom of our website.

As always, any of our pieces are available in yellow, rose or white gold. We have access to a wide variety of gemstones. You are welcome to get in touch and create your next piece of jewelry in collaboration with Anat!

Hammered Gold Rings Hand Made in Canada

Category: Blue Sapphire Rings, Hammered gold rings, Sapphire Rings, Unique Engagement Rings

Anouk Jewelry was created because Anat was inspired by the treasures of the ancient cultures. We wanted to design jewelry that echoes the timeless beauty of the hammered gold rings of antiquity. The one-of-a-kind nature of the hand made jewelry reflects our own sensibility. We come to create each piece as if it is meant to be a family heirloom, cherished by generations of wearers. Each gemstone we source, is as unique as the handmade design of the ring it is set in.

The ring below is part of our Golden Leaves collection. Inspired by the natural world around us, it features three sculpted leaves in white hammered gold we are known for. We call this texture “Seashore” as it reminds us of the beaches. Often we set our rings with green, teal or blue sapphires, that recall the vast open spaces of the ocean waters. This particular ring is called Blue Sapphire Leaves Prong Solitaire. It is set with a .88 carat blue sapphire, held in place by four leaf-shaped prongs. A delicate cluster of three gold leaves on the side completes the look.

Solitaires are the traditional choice for engagement rings. To make yours as unique and individual as you, consider a colour gemstone as opposed to white diamonds. The best choice for a long lasting stone to wear for a life time, we suggest opting for sapphires. Sapphires are very versatile and come in a rainbow of hues and colours. Below is a selection of our sapphire hammered gold rings. Our favourites are round teal sapphires, oval green sapphires and blue sapphires of any shape. They pair so well with our favourite hammered yellow gold! Together this look reminds us of a beach vacation, enjoying the warm sand, looking out into the cool endless sea. Wearing a green sapphire yellow gold ring is like carrying a seashore with you wherever you go!

Sapphires are a great choice not only for the classic solitaire ring look! They are also well suited for statement rings or bespoke engagement ring. This beauty is a custom design, featuring a roughly cut Montana green sapphire surrounded by sculpted gold nuggets. Its many facets create a unique shimmering surface, guaranteed to be unlike anything other ring out there!

For lovers of a more traditional engagement ring look, we source clear (or white) diamonds. Did you know that the best choice for ethically sourced diamonds are Canadian diamonds? The ring below is our Sun and the Moon ring, set with a 1ct diamond flanked by accent diamonds. Here it is paired with a hammered gold Extra Fine Seashore wedding band. Anouk Jewelry’s Seashore bands come in several sizes, from the Dainty wedding band to Extra Fine, or the more substantial Seashore band. Our Mens’ size Seashore wedding band is available with a straight, or a curved edge for comfort fit.

For additional hammered gold bands, this time without stones, check out our Wedding band collection! The bands come in a variety of widths and finishes. Prefer a little sparkle? Why not set a small diamond – or several – to add that special touch? If plain isn’t your style, check out our Golden Leaves band collection for a nature-inspired band, instead. You are welcome to choose your gold colour (yellow, rose or white), platinum or palladium.

01.17.22
Category: Alternative Engagement, Aquamarine Rings, Custom Rings, Pendants, Sapphire Rings, Updates

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.

Unique Engagement and Talisman Rings

06.03.21
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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Anouk Jewelry’s nature-inspired Centred Diamond Wreath band from our Golden Leaves collection was recently featured in the 100 layer cake publication, celebrating the Fall wedding style. The talented team of Ugo Photography captured a beautifully soft and romantic fall style, and we couldn’t be happier to share the images of our bands!

The Centred Diamond Wreath band showcases a central quarter-carat diamond and three smaller accent diamonds, set in a wreath of twelve golden leaves. Hand sculpted and created in Toronto, Canada, this design can be both a wedding band and an engagement ring combination for boho brides and nature lovers.

As with most of Anouk Jewelry pieces, this design can be customize to fit a gemstone of your choice (green sapphire, anyone?) and cast in yellow, white or rose gold.

The Groom wears one of our best-loved mens’ wedding designs, the Organic Band. This alternative, yet understated wedding band is 6mm wide and can be created with yellow, rose or white gold. Its unique organic style gives it this hand-made quality, making it a nature-lover’s perfect piece of jewelry.

From the team: We wanted to highlight the beauty of nature changing all around us with a soft and delicate palette based on the inspiration of another love of ours; that of watercolor painting...
Using fall tones as a basis for creative design and drawing on art in its many forms, the style shoot was a beautiful representation of the collective talent of so many hardworking wedding professionals in the Greater Toronto Area. The beautiful stately columns and building of LaSalle Banquet Centre surrounded by greenery which was gently changing seasons. The soft yellow, red and orange tones provided a beautiful backdrop for bridal portraits, the ceremony and tablescape design. Bloom Scout was bursting with stunning floral ideas, incorporating warm autumnal colors into her beautiful statement ceremony floral installations, bouquet and centerpieces.

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

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?

Boho Wedding with a Seafoam Blue Sapphire Engagement 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.
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.

It’s been a true pleasure collaborating with our wonderful clients, and creating custom pieces that will forever be treasured by the couples and their families.

We helped transform family heirlooms into new rings, breathing fresh life into old pieces.

These gorgeous stones come in a variety of colours and are a great choice for environmentally-minded people.

In 2019 we were fortunate to work with very talented photographers, who beautifully captured our jewelry collection.

It’s been a wonderful time of growth for us, and here are some reminders of what we’ve been up to.
Below is a small selection of the works featured in various publications this year. Thank you to the great teams of people who made 2019 our best year yet!

Featuring an almost two-carat, warm yellow raw diamond slice, surrounded by fifteen white accent diamonds and cast in 14k yellow gold, this ring is a true heirloom treasure!

With the cooler weather upon us, we’re thrilled to share a few images that are sure to warm anyone’s heart! Our vintage-inspired Raw Diamond Halo Ring is the ornate star of the show, perfectly reflecting the romantic natural beauty of the West Coast.
Beautifully styled and photographed by the super talented Katie Nicolle Photography, on the breathtaking shorelines of British Columbia, this natural style inspiration is what Anouk Jewelry is all about!

The moody backdrop of the ocean and the mountains is one of our main inspirations for our organic ring collections. Another inspiration is the romantic sensibility of the vintage engagement style. Combining these two worlds, we’ve created the Ornate Halo Engagement ring.
This alternative engagement ring pays homage to the untouched beauty of the raw, natural world, and the soft, classical look of an era gone by.
Raw diamonds are eternal and mysterious, and we love working with one-of-a-kind stones for our unique engagement ring designs.

Our Raw Diamond collection features several of our most beloved alternative jewelry designs, set with these majestic and unique gem stones. Unlike the mass produced adornments, these are unique alternatives for people, who cherish their individuality. Check out our Raw Diamond gallery for an inspiration for an engagement ring, a statement piece, or a necklace to be worn close to heart!

Bohemian Halo Mandala Diamond Ring

09.11.19
Category: Bridal Inspiration, Custom Rings, Engagement Rings, Photo-Shoots, Unique Engagement Rings, Updates

Our friends from Cipriano Palmer Photography produced a stunning wedding style shoot, featured earlier this summer on the inspiring Bridal Musings blog. The shoot focused on the colour blue, and while Anouk Jewelry loves working with coloured gem stones and has several blue sapphire treasures in our collection, this time we were happy to highlight the Bohemian Halo Mandala diamond ring – our unique take on the Mandala ring, which pairs gorgeously with the blue tones.

Says the stylist: “The colour blue has had a strong connection to weddings for a very long time. For many it represents love, purity and fidelity and was used to ward off the evil eye. The tradition was to wear a blue garter on your wedding day. We were inspired by this connection and wanted to incorporate beautiful shades of blue in our styled shoot. To us, the colour blue brings a feeling of calmness and peacefulness to a wedding day. There are so many ways to incorporate the colour blue into your wedding day, from a beautiful pair of shoes, to a sprinkling of blue in a bouquet.”

Anouk Jewelry finds inspiration from nature and the beauty of antiquity, designing alternative engagement rings for non-traditional couples. We love working with bohemian brides, who follow their heritage, while honouring their individuality!
Spirituality plays an important part in our philosophy, and our Bohemian Halo ring pays homage to the ancient wisdom of the Mandala design. It features a central diamond surrounded by a halo of a dozen little diamonds, and eight additional accent diamonds set in 14k yellow gold.

This unique design can be created as a statement ring and may be paired with a matching Mandala necklace! For the spiritual bride we would be happy to customize the Mandala with diamonds, sapphires or zircons of your choice. As always, our designs are available in yellow, white or rose gold.

One of our most beloved designs, the Diamond Wreath ring was recently photographed by Wreath and Rose and published on Today’s Bride.

Beautifully set against a rich, dark background, our 14k yellow gold rings shimmer brightly and create a timelessly romantic style.

Diamond Wreath ring is a signature piece from Anouk Jewelry’s Golden Leaves collection. This alternative engagement ring features seven gold leaves on each side, set with small accent diamonds and flanking a beautiful central quarter-carat diamond. We love creating unique engagement jewelry for nature-loving couples, and this is one of the designs that is always appealing to our boho brides.

With Anouk Jewelry, you’re always welcome to further customize the design by selecting yellow, rose or white gold for your forever ring!

For men, one of our best loved designs is the beach-inspired Seashore wedding band. Our signature seashore texture enhances its powerfully beautiful look.

Peach Sapphire Vintage Rosetta Engagement Ring

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

What a playful style shoot we were part of earlier this year! The soft coloured images were recently published on Vineyard Bride and we’re happy to share this beautiful wedding day inspiration.

Says the photographer, Jess Imrie: “Inspired by the Pantone colour of the year we wanted to create a coral themed shoot that was fun, fresh and flirty. When we came across the Niagara on the lake courthouse and saw the pink room, we knew we had to do a monochromatic pink colour scheme! This shoot was really playful, full of florals and girly details that we hope inspires brides to incorporate more pink into their day. We wanted to showcase that you can really never have too much pink while remaining elegant and fresh for a wedding day.”

Anouk Jewelry’s beloved Vintage Rosetta ring set with a peach sapphire and accent diamonds was the star of the show. Our Vintage Rosetta ring is a favourite with boho brides and alternative jewelry lovers. Such a versatile design, it is often set with champagne diamonds or sapphires of different colours. Like most of our non-traditional engagement ring designs, it’s fully customizable to reflect the wearer’s personality and taste.

A romantic ring, inspired by vintage jewelry, it was paired with a simple and timeless Extra Fine Seashore band, that fits with most of our engagement ring designs. Adding a simple, yet timeless band completes the look. Our 14k gold Extra Fine Seashore band is a favourite with many of our brides! It can be cast in yellow, rose or white gold to go with your engagement ring.

And if you’re searching for an even more delicate band to go with your engagement ring, take a look at our most petite design, the Dainty Seashore band, measuring only 1.5mm in width! It can be cast in yellow, rose and white gold.

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

Anouk Jewelry’s Vintage Sapphire Rosetta ring was recently featured on the Vineyard Bride blog and we simply can’t get enough of this beautiful feature! the lovely Lucy Tran captured the soft, romantic style perfectly.

“We stuck to shades of off-white and blush to compliment our lush green surroundings and used pops of apricot and mauve to add a modern vibe to this wedding inspiration. The table looked so romantic with the orchard in the distance, and featured a creamy oatmeal linen, blush chiffon runner and rattan back chairs which provided a natural addition to the scenery. The bride’s style looked elegant and effortless.
The invitation suite by Pink Peony Press featured raw edge paper with elegant calligraphy and stuck to the natural colour combination of off-white, blush and green. The weather held out and we achieved a timeless and classic look with some surprise glam and modern elements.”

Anouk Jewelry loves creating untraditional engagement rings, working with sapphires for that original yet timeless look.
Diamonds are great, but if you prefer a little bit of colour on your hand, sapphires are an excellent alternative!
Our Vintage Oval Rosetta with Peach Sapphire ring is a gorgeous take on the classic style, featuring a shimmering oval sapphire, set in a halo of diamonds and cast in 14k yellow gold.
This design is available with a variety of gemstones, and can be customized in white, rose or yellow gold.

Just take a look at this gorgeous post on Once Wed! The amazing team of photographers led by the talented Katie Nicole Photography has done it again, beautifully creating a soft, romantic wedding inspiration.
Anouk’s new design, the Sun and the Moon raw diamond engagement ring was chosen to be featured, along with our favourite mens’ Seashore wedding band.

Says Katie: “For this editorial, part of the Katie Nicolle Photography Studio Series, we were inspired by the warmth and beauty of a neutral color palette. The team set tones of blush, caramel, and cream against the backdrop of an urban studio and allowed the details to bring warmth to the space. Our bride (was) dressed in intricately detailed gown and finished the look with whimsical floral crowns that paired perfectly with natural hair and makeup… The impactful floral backdrop set the scene for the portraits, adding incredible visual interest to the studio space. The tablescape was designed to be perfectly understated, with a pop of color provided by the florals and taper candles. Our stationery set was beautiful, yet minimalist and enhanced by a velvet styling mat and unique accessories. We hope this editorial provides future brides inspiration for a minimal, yet whimsical day!”

Anouk’s celestial-inspired engagement ring features a unique warm coloured raw diamond, surrounded on one side by several accent diamonds. This magnificent Sun and Moon ring is fit for a boho bride who wishes to stand out and make a statement with her natural style!
Our Seashore Mens band is a favourite with our grooms. Cast in 14k gold, it features a beautiful texture, inspired by the golden beach sand.

As always, Anouk Jewelry rings are hand sculpted and cast in 14k gold in and are fully customizable to feature the gemstone of your choice.

The lovely Vineyard Bride blog recently featured one of our most opulent vintage-inspired designs, the unique Champagne Diamond Cluster ring, paired with one of our most beloved Mens wedding bands, the Seashore Band.
Both rings were part of Katie Nicolle’s Fine Art Photography workshop at the incredible Graydon Hall Manor in Toronto. Says the blog, “With styling by Vivian Lyttle Events, the workshop was inspired by European estate homes and all things romantic.

Using a palette of cream, gold, blush and yellow as well as lush textures of lace and velvet, the editorial brought Europe to life in the heart of Toronto. The bride was dressed like royalty in two gowns by Claire Pettibone and adorned with crowns and veils by Noon on the Moon, as well as a gorgeous antique-inspired ring by Anouk Jewelry.”

“With the right team of talented vendors, you don’t need to travel to Italy to have the European inspired wedding of your dreams!”

We couldn’t agree more!
Our vintage-inspired luxurious Diamond Cluster ring is set with seventeen champagne diamonds, and looks stunning in a lavish wedding setting!
As ever, all Anouk Jewelry engagement and wedding rings are custom-sculpted, and cast in 14k gold. Most engagement rings can be set with alternative gemstones, reflecting the bride’s individual preferences.
Our Mens wedding bands designs vary in width and texture to suit your personal tastes and life style.

When our friends at BlUUMBLVD suggested we team up for a bridal style photo shoot to be published at Joy Wed, we knew just the design to showcase! We are proud to introduce this gorgeous Vintage Rosetta ring, set in 14k white gold and featuring a striking blue moissanite surrounded by a halo of diamonds.

From Stephanie of BLUUMBLVD: “This shoot was to celebrate the strength but also the vulnerability of a woman’s love. With an all female team, everyone joined together and collaborated to the spirit of this project. We fell in love with this venue at the Great Hall! The light took over the room and the white walls were a blank canvas that enabled us to create a feel that was both romantic and timeless. All of the details of this shoot were influenced by the Old World, a handwritten letter to a love and a sketch of where they were to be married brought us to that time and place. The unique and airy two-piece gown by My Wood Nymph, moved with such ease and elegance, you couldn’t help but stop and stare. The light and airy fabrics of the tablespace perfectly complemented the heavy drapery of our hand painted backdrop. The custom designed cakes were decorated with weightless wafers that added a whimsical feel. This was to inspire couples and show that much is not needed for a beautiful event, and that minimal details can really make a grand statement!”

Using a moissanite as a central stone in your ring means making an environmentally ethical choice. As they’re man-made, moissanites don’t require mining and though they don’t come from the earth, they are none-the-less beautiful and durable gemstones. Their colours are versatile and they are more affordable than diamonds.

Our vintage-style engagement ring is paired with a wedding band from our Golden Leaves collection, the nature-inspired Triple Leaf band. Perfectly suited for a Boho bride, this band is cast in 14k white gold, carrying with it a touch of spring… wherever you are!

A Perfectly Romantic Wedding with Anouk’s Peach Sapphire ring

11.05.18
Category: Bridal Inspiration, Engagement Rings, Sapphire Rings, Unique Engagement Rings, Wedding bands

It’s not every day we are lucky enough to design an engagement ring and a set of wedding bands for our friends. A few months ago, Anouk Jewelry had the pleasure of creating a gorgeous Peach Sapphire Vintage Rosetta ring with a matching Spring Leaves band and the Organic Mens band in rose gold for a very special couple.

Deanne MacRae is one of our favourite wedding photographers and we were honoured to create the rose gold set of rings for her and her groom’s special day.

Often couples choose to coordinate their wedding bands. While Anouk Jewelry offers several matching wedding band sets, such as the Fine Sand set, the Moonlight set or the Timeless set, sometimes simply coordinating the band colour does the trick!

Our Mens wedding bands are available in a variety of widths to compliment larger, or more slender hands. One of our best loved bands, the Organic Mens band comes in yellow, rose or white gold. A comfort fit will ensure the band feels just right, even if you’ve never worn a band before. And a personal engraving on the inside of the band is an especially touching way to communicate with your partner!

One of our most beloved alternative engagement rings, the Vintage Rosetta is as versatile as the brides’ personalities. Available in yellow, rose or white gold, it features a central stone of your choosing – most often a diamond, a sapphire or a moissanite, surrounded by a halo of gemstones. A perfectly classic design with a touch of modern sensibility, it is a true masterpiece and we are thrilled to recreate it on a regular basis.

Anouk Jewelry’s Spring Leaves band perfectly compliments an engagement ring with a larger stone, embracing it from below. This delicate golden leaf design features a small diamond, adding a sparkle to the hand.

Our design process starts with Anat meeting the couple to discuss their ideas for the rings. A meeting in person is a great opportunity to share our design philosophy, and learn about the couple’s taste and preferences. Some people have a clear vision of what they’re after, and some appreciate a gentle guidance selecting a ring to reflect their love.

We’d love to hear from you and look forward to designing the perfect ring set for your special day!

Raw Diamond Engagement Ring

Category: Bridal Inspiration, Raw Diamond Rings, Unique Engagement Rings, Wedding bands

Our friends from Bridal Hair Collective highlighted a special bridal style shoot, featuring one of our more unique designs, the Raw Rosecut Pear Diamond Halo ring. We are thrilled with this romantic setting for our nature-inspired jewelry!

Staged in the Victorian Great Hall in Toronto, with its floor to ceiling bay windows and crisp white walls, the room was a limitless backdrop for this styled shoot. The model’s flowing hair and dress recall the fashion of the Romantic Era, with our rings the perfect accessories to evoke the timeless elegance of the eighteen hundreds.

The Rosecut Pear Diamond Halo features a one of a kind dark multicoloured diamond and can be worn either as an alternative engagement ring, a right hand piece, or a bohemian style signature ring. Inspired by nature’s geological splendour and the craftsmanship of Classical times, this raw diamond piece looks like a found treasure that connects the wearer not only to the earth’s textures and colours, but to the opulent ancient times as well.

Anouk Jewelry has always been fascinated with raw diamonds. These un-faceted, irregularly-shaped and purely-coloured stones highlight the unaffected beauty and inherent perfection of the diamond in its natural state. One of our favourite characteristics of raw diamonds is their colour diversity. Once set in a bespoke design, it allows the wearer to stand out of the crowd, making a statement with her individual sense of style.

Co-starring in the feature is Anouk Jewelry’s Golden Wreath Band, a beautiful example of our Golden Leaves collection. This elegant gold band design was created for nature loving and unconventional brides, who wish their style to reflect their passion for the outdoors and the role the natural world plays in their lives. As with most our designs, this band is available in yellow, rose or white gold.

This dark yet classic colour palette is such a perfect fit for the end of summer! Our friends from 100 Layer Cake featured this beautiful style shoot from the talented team of June Bloom Events and we simply love the outcome. Says Joanne: “We dreamt of a seamless blend of Dutch botanicals and a historic setting, all integrated with a dark and moody colour palette. We wanted old world and non-tradition to meet. So we met, drew inspiration from each other’s creative gifts and produced wedding inspiration for the couple willing to step out of the box and flaunt their authentic loving selves all while keeping things edgy, classic and mysterious.”

We love this moody style and sombre hues which serve as an elegant backdrop to our oval Blue Sapphire Ornate Halo engagement ring. Paired with our Nikki Pebble wedding band, the rings make a unique and unforgettable set, perfect for an alternative bride.

Both the sapphire ring and the diamond band were hand carved in wax and cast in gold. As with most of our rings, this bohemian sapphire ring is available in yellow, rose and white gold, set with an oval gemstone of your choice. It may be paired with any of our wedding bands, with or without accent diamonds. The band featured here is also available in rose, white or yellow gold.

Alternative Engagement Ring with an Oval Green Sapphire and Diamonds

Category: Bridal Inspiration, Sapphire Rings, Unique Engagement Rings, Updates

We’re simply in love with this unique free-form oval green sapphire halo engagement ring! The fresh green sapphire matches the summer tones perfectly, looking chic set among the halo of accent diamonds in the yellow gold ring. Anouk Jewelry ‘s one of a kind free-form designs are inspired by nature and are a perfect fit for unconventional boho brides, who think outside the box.

The lovely photographer Shelly Spithoff captured our ring beautifully, while Vineyard Bride blog showcased it in a well-curated collection of images. The green and yellow hues are echoed throughout the feature in the summer-fresh citrus fruit colour scheme of lemons and limes.

The warm yellow and green colours of summer inspired this alternative sapphire ring. The design was first hand sculpted in wax before being cast in gold, and its organic free form mimics natural flowing shapes, giving the ring that unforgettable look and feel. We just love the harmony of shape and colour in this gorgeous design that truly stands out from the crowd! What a great homage to nature, and what a romantic way to carry the summer with you wherever you go!

Green sapphires are one of our favourite go-to gemstones, because of their durability and the beautifully rich colours. No two sapphires are alike, and range in hues from the cool deep purple and blue, to teal, green, and all the way to the warm yellow, peach and orange colours. This makes them a very versatile gemstone to work with and a great alternative to the more traditional diamonds. Anouk Jewelry uses sapphires widely in our engagement , statement and signature ring collections.

As with most Anouk Jewelry pieces, this unconventional sapphire engagement ring design is fully customizable and is available with a variety of gemstones, set in yellow, rose or white gold and platinum.

Our alternative sapphire halo engagement ring and nature-inspired golden wreath wedding band were recently featured on the Bridal Theory blog. This unique engagement ring showcases a gorgeous champagne coloured sapphire, set in a halo of accent diamonds. The sapphire’s champagne hue compliments the warm gold tone of the ring, creating an understated vintage look.

In this rustic summer campfire shoot, Anouk Jewelry’s non-traditional ring was paired with our nature-inspired golden wreath wedding band from the Golden Leaves collection. This leafy design is a great alternative to a traditional wedding band. What a beautiful way to keep the summer in your life, no matter the weather outside!

The wedding inspiration style shoot highlighted Anouk Jewelry’s pieces, noting, “What beats a summer night sitting by a campfire? A wedding inspired by the warmth and light of a summer campfire. Warm tones, rustic textures, and a romp through the woods characterize this beautiful wedding inspiration designed by Caitlin Elaine Designs and Bash Panache Event Rentals and Services. Marcucci Photography captured the romantic day perfectly. A beautiful palette of oranges, greens, and whites tie in the warm colors of a summer campfire.”

As with most Anouk Jewelry pieces, this unconventional sapphire engagement ring design is fully customizable and is available with a variety of gemstones, set in yellow, rose or white gold.

“The fluffy peonies add the perfect amount of softness, while the wild and free design fits the non-traditional environment beautifully. The moody hues and textures create a feeling of warmth and coziness…”

Anouk Jewelry is forever in awe of the natural world around us, and our Golden Leaves non-traditional wedding ring is one example of our eternal inspiration. It features a double gold wreath of leafs and diamonds, and is a perfect fit for nature-loving couples, looking for alternative wedding bands.

This original design is influenced by nature, with the hand-sculpted delicate leaves gently enveloping the finger. Small accent diamonds are set among the gold leaves to add a bit of sparkling glamour to this bohemian wedding band. As with most our jewelry, this ring is available in 14k yellow, rose or white gold, set with a variety of accent gemstones. Please browse our Golden Leaves collection for more unconventional ring designs.

The unique style of our nature-inspired 14k gold wreath band was celebrated recently on The Wedding Co. We love its call of encouragement: Take a creative chance.

“Loving this bright style shoot created by an equally vibrant group of Toronto wedding professionals, for the couple looking for creative inspiration and who are willing to take a chance and have some fun! Planner and stylist Sidra Ahmad from Ruby Refined Events describes the inspiration for this colourful shoot. “Toronto is home to a thriving arts and culture scene. We wanted to create a styled shoot for the modern Toronto couple who loves cinema and who live and play in neighbourhoods like Parkdale, The Junction, and Roncesvalles. Our shoot was inspired by Wes Anderson’s “The Darjeeling Limited”, set on a train traveling through India. The new Drake Commissary was the perfect setting for our shoot with its mix of bright colours, contemporary style, and artistic exhibits. … We hope this shoot inspires Toronto couples from all cultures to take creative chances when planning their wedding day.”

Dreamy Orchard Wedding Style

Our first feature on Hey Wedding Lady is a beautiful spring-theme wedding style shoot. We’re thrilled to partner once more with the talented Lucy Tran Photography and Swoon Weddings & Events, who created a truly inspirational story.

“Dreamy spring florals and an effortless palette of peach and green give this charming winery wedding shoot a fresh feel! Ontario wedding pros, LUCY TRAN PHOTOGRAPHY and SWOON WEDDINGS & EVENTS, were inspired by the natural beauty of the vineyards and orchards to create this charming inspiration for a spring wedding day!

Nothing says effortless bridal style, quite like a flowing organza gown, coupled with the lush spring florals. The couple captured intimate portraits in the winding lane and formal gardens of GRACEWOOD ESTATE before sitting down for dinner at a reception alongside the vineyards. The bouquet’s greenery and peach flowers complement the formal gardens of the estate in all of their blooming glory. Delicate gray calligraphy signs from PINK PEONY PRESS marked each table and place setting with a romantic touch, alongside gold flatware and vintage china,” gushes the blog.

The bride is wearing Anouk Jewelry’s gorgeous Vintage Rosetta, set with a stunning golden Sorbet Sapphire and a halo of diamonds. This unique ring is a perfect choice for a couple looking for a vintage engagement ring with a modern spin.

As with most our pieces, this alternative engagement ring design is fully customizable and is available with a variety of gemstones, set in yellow, rose or white gold.

“What happens when you combine a gorgeous muted-tone color palette, a whimsical boho design, and a majestic woodsy setting?” asks Style Me Pretty‘s blog. “The answer is this wedding inspiration shoot that’s straight out of a dream. With nature at the forefront of the design, the images captured by Hello Inspira, are like we’ve never seen before!”

We were honoured to have taken part in this style shoot and to be featured on Style Me Pretty! We simply love the boho glam look, created by seamlessly blending organic and glam styles, within this warm and romantic setting.

Says Alana Klein of Swoon Weddings & Events “…I’ve always had a fantasy of a bride lost in the woods, truly becoming one with Mother Nature. When Jenn from Hello Inspira approached me to collaborate on a shoot, I told her about this fantasy, and she was immediately on board… We wanted everything to reflect the beauty of Mother Nature. Towering trees created a cozy and intimate feel, deep within the forest… The bride’s raw cut halo engagement ring from Anouk Jewelry really gave off the earthy vibe we were going for.”

This is a perfect palette for the bride who wants something elegant and organic-feeling but still wants to incorporate some colour. We hope couples can take inspiration by mixing different looks to create more visual impact!”

Anouk Jewelry shares the sensibility of an earthy, nature-loving bride. We especially enjoy creating one of a kind pieces, such as the raw diamond halo ring featured in the styled shoot. The raw diamond is a unique alternative to the traditional brilliant cut diamond. It combines the distinct durability of the gemstone with an unconventional organic look, and an earthy colour.

For additional variations of this design, please see here and here.

Anouk Jewelry designs are available in yellow, rose and white gold, set with a variety of gemstones.

Parisian Cafe style inspiration

Once in a while, we are absolutely blown away by the talent of the style team we get to collaborate with. This is the first time we’ve partnered with the lovely Jessica Hoang of Toronto’s Bisous Events, and the amazingly gifted Parisian photographer Lénaïc Sanz, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!
Grey Likes Weddings were equally impressed, featuring the elegant style shoot recently on their blog:

“Inspired by the magic of sitting on a patio of a charming cafe in Paris, sipping coffee, Jessica Hoang of Bisous Events collaborated with an incredibly gifted team together to design and create this stunning styled shoot. Within the rustic brick walls of The Jam Factory, and the muted blush tones of the floral arrangements you can’t help but be inspired by the enchantment of a wedding in France…
Nothing is more Parisian than the idea of a cup of coffee on the patio of a Paris cafe. The location was inspired by the colors of coffee seen in the bricks and tones of the editorial. Our bride … exudes that confidence of an urban girl with bold makeup by Ford Beauty while embodying the carefree nature of a small town country girl in these flowing gowns.”

Our boho-inspired Raw Diamond Ornate Halo engagement ring suits the Parisian theme perfectly. The understated brilliance of the raw diamond set in an elaborate, vintage-inspired mount brings elegance and sophistication. This is a perfect alternative ring for an unconventional bride, looking to express her creative side in a non-traditional way with a unique piece of jewelry she will treasure forever.

As with all Anouk Jewelry designs, this ring may be customized to feature a variety of gemstones set in yellow, rose or white gold.

“We’re feeling smitten over this wedding inspiration because, well, there is just so much to love! If you’ve ever dreamed of a princess-worthy wedding filled with cherry blossoms, … then you’re in for a treat” gushes Wedding Chicks about the lovely bridal style shoot we took part in last summer. Our friend and frequent photoshoot partner Alana Klein, of Swoon Weddings & Events “brought this magnificent shoot together with over-the-top details including cotton candy, pastel balloon tea party and the prettiest wedding cake imaginable. The cherry blossom orchard at the Estates of Sunnybrook’s McLean House was a magical location for this pink-filled day, and we’re excited to share all the beautiful images with you from Samantha Ong Photography” continues Wedding Chicks.

From Samantha Ong Photography: “For this editorial, the grandeur of the Estates of Sunnybrook’s McLean House was selected for all of the picturesque spots it offers, like the manicured gardens and rolling fields that surround it. We used the field and blush cherry blossom orchard with garlands of spring blooms behind the McLean House to create breathtaking and ethereal images with the boho bride.”

According to Alana Klein, “details like an ocean of tulle, a tea party surrounded by a room of pastel balloons, and fun elements like cotton candy trees are all fantastical, on-trend ideas that can be beautifully interpreted into the wedding of your dreams.”

This whimsical style photoshoot was also featured on Elegant Wedding blog, and we couldn’t be happier with the spread!

Our rose gold Vintage Rosetta with a natural, untreated peach sapphire from Sorbet Sapphire was selected to compliment the dreamy setting. This vintage-inspired design is a favourite with bohemian brides in search of a non-traditional, yet classic engagement ring. What makes it even more unique is a combination of peach sapphire and rose gold, that creates a soft and romantic look.

As with most Anouk Jewelry creations, this design is available in rose, yellow or white gold with a variety of gemstones.

Last month Wedding Chicks, one of our favourite wedding blogs, published a truly unconventional style inspiration story, celebrating brides who like to stay true to their own unique style. Anouk Jewelry was happy to provide a gorgeous free-form Montana Sapphire halo ring to go with a non-traditional blue wedding gown for the photo shoot.

As the Wedding Chicks say it, “Love love love … this free-form Montana sapphire halo ring from Anouk Jewelry. So perfect for any bride, especially the bride-to-be that wishes to wear a non-white wedding dress.” Aww, thanks, guys! We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

Beautifully captured images by the talented Deanne MacRae, create a truly unique and original vision. As the photographer herself puts it: “There are gorgeous pops of colors everywhere – from the model’s stunning orange hair, right down to the unconventional blue gown by Wins Design – that are evened out by the clean slate of a light-filled, airy, white room. Meanwhile, texture draws the eyes in everywhere. Delicate beading, tulle, a stunning fine-art bouquet, and my favorite: the model’s freckles, round out the scene so that simplicity can take over for the rest”.

This bohemian halo ring is a one of a kind creation, featuring a 1.99ct roughly cut rustic blue Montana Sapphire, set amidst a halo of accent diamonds. As with most Anouk designs, the ring was hand sculpted and cast in 14k gold. This choice of an engagement ring suits perfectly an alternative bride, who is looking for a unique engagement ring to reflect her personality and flare. To see a selection of our engagement rings, you’re welcome to browse our collection.
