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

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

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.
