Boho Wedding with a Seafoam Blue Sapphire Engagement ring

05.13.20
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!

… Something Blue

10.16.17
Category: Blue Sapphire Rings, Unique Engagement Rings

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.

Recent Interview for Kissed by Light Photography Blog

09.15.16
Category: Blue Sapphire Rings, Pendants, Photo-Shoots, Unique Engagement Rings

It’s always a pleasure working with inspired photographers, and they don’t come more talented than the lovely Lora Vertue of Kissed by Light! We recently collaborated on a stunning photoshoot for our upcoming lookbook (stay tuned!). Lora and her team interviewed Anouk designer Anat Kaplan for their online blog, as part of our recurring series of interviews featuring female artists, The Power of Her, and we’re excited to share the interview here as well.

Please tell us about your jewelry and unique style that defines your current designs.

I create fine jewelry inspired by nature and the ancient world. The bohemian and rustic look of my creations is achieved by hand carving, which results in highly sculptural and textured designs. I love working in all shades of gold, incorporating natural gemstones, especially raw diamonds and green sapphires.

What are your sources of inspiration?

I draw inspiration from the organic elements, especially water, its colours, flow and shimmer, and the textures that compliment it, like sand and rocks. I’d like my pieces to echo the raw beauty of nature, and to evoke that serene feeling of timelessness.

How did you decide to become a jewelry artist, tell us about your background?

I come from visual arts background; I fell in love with ancient jewellery during my university years studying art history. I took a course on ancient Greece and Rome and they showed us some jewellery pieces that blew me away. These treasures had so much character and personality, they really spoke to me. Still today ancient jewellery is endless source of inspiration.

Who are your clients, what kind of people come to you?

My clients are those who look for something different than the traditional wedding jewelry. They are often nature lovers, or creative folk, who appreciate local, artisanal pieces.

Often people come to me in search of a unique piece that would reflect their personality and those are my favourite clients to work with. Together we translate their story into gems and metals, creating a one of a kind, bespoke piece of jewelry.

Please tell us about your recent collection.

My most recent collection is the Golden Leafs line, it was born in anticipation of spring after a long winter, and it’s all about growth, renewal and awakening.

How did you feel about working with KBL’s Lora Vertue on the recent photoshoot?

Shooting with Lora is always a big treat for me. I’ve worked with many photographers, but Lora’s impeccable style, great attention to detail and professionalism truly stand out.

But most of all, she’s a true artist with a unique creative vision and an amazing talent for capturing beauty. I can’t wait to work with her again!

Here’s a sneak preview to some of the images from the recent photoshoot:

Vintage Engagement Ring in a Historic Wedding Story

09.01.16
Category: Blue Sapphire Rings, Custom Rings, Engagement Rings, Photo-Shoots, Unique Engagement Rings

Our custom version of a Vintage Rosetta Ring was featured on The Wedding Co‘s blog earlier this summer in a story by the lovely Phoebe Lo of Helloinspira photography.

The inspiration for the photoshoot came from the location itself, the prestigious St. George Golf and Country Club. “The formal dining hall is transformed with a rustic design that features an organic style, fresh centerpiece accentuating the deep mahogany harvest table. This rustic display is presented with details and accents in the colour theme of ivory, grey and blue,” explains Phoebe Lo.

Anouk Jewelry’s 14k Vintage Rosetta Ring, featuring a luminescent light blue sapphire in a halo of accent diamonds compliments the theme of the shoot perfectly. The elegant shape, inspired by the vintage style coupled with an organic design, results in a unique engagement ring suited for an alternative bride.

Our ethical jewelry is designed and cast in Toronto; our diamonds, sapphires and other gem stones are sourced locally from well established suppliers. As with all signature engagement rings, this white gold beauty is hand carved and sculpted to a rustic perfection. The timeless blue sapphire is a perfect choice for an original and unique ring. Each design from our collection is fully customize-able to fit with your distinct and unconventional style. You’re welcome to take a look at our custom jewelry gallery here.
