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

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

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

We, at Anouk Jewelry are feeling especially festive these days and wanted to share with you some of the highlights of 2019.
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.
As well as creating unique engagement rings and wedding bands, we loved re-designing family jewelry.
We helped transform family heirlooms into new rings, breathing fresh life into old pieces.
We are so grateful to our wonderful clients for trusting us with preserving their family story!

In addition to creating alternative engagement rings with diamonds and sapphires, this year we got to use a lot of man-made and eco-friendly gemstones, such as lab-grown diamonds and moissanites. 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!
As always, all the designs can be custom-created in yellow, white and rose gold and set with a gemstone of your choice.
So, get in touch to start your own Anouk Jewelry journey!

Anouk Jewelry‘s unique look is inspired by the organic forms found in nature, and our designs stand out in part thanks to the breathtaking gemstones we like to work with. One of our favourite gems to use in our alternative engagement rings are the raw diamonds. Each diamond is as unique, as the person who chooses to wear it!

Our Sun and Moon Diamond Halo ring is a non-traditional choice for a stunning statement piece, and it can also be quite a show-stopping engagement ring! 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!

Being such a star, – no pun intended – no wonder our Sun and the Moon was chosen as the ring on he gorgeous Once Wed blog! Masterfully styled and photographed by the talented Katie Nicole Photography it is making us swoon!

And for the Groom of our alternative bride, Anouk Jewelry offers a selection of handsome mens’ bands from our collection. The band featured in the wedding style is one of our most popular designs, the elegantly textured Seashore Mens band.

Bohemian Halo Mandala Diamond Ring

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.

If you’re looking for an even more unique statement, or if diamonds aren’t your best friends, the Wreath ring is available with a variety of gemstones, such as our favourites – the sapphires – and many others. 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.

April showers brought out May flowers… and along with them, these gorgeous cherry blossoms!
What better way to celebrate spring, than with a nature inspired wedding, set in a breathtaking cherry orchard?

Vintage-style Sapphire Engagement Ring

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.

Vintage-inspired Moissanite engagement ring

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

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!

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

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

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.

Parisian Cafe style inspiration

Category: Bridal Inspiration, Photo-Shoots, Raw Diamond Rings, Unique Engagement Rings

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.

Late Summer Vibrant Outdoor Wedding Style

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

Recently Anouk Jewelry teamed up with the talented Tamara Lockwood, taking part in an elegant styled outdoor photoshoot. The beautiful results of this inspired collaboration were featured in Wedluxe last month. Celebrating the last sunny days of late summer, we simply can’t get enough of the vibrant colours of this lovely wedding inspiration.

The bright colours of the tablescape flowers complement nicely the bride’s warm-tone yellow gold rings. Three of Anouk’s signature rings are playfully stacked together. As most our designs are stackable, we encourage the brides to experiment with different styles and combinations, discovering that original look that’s uniquely their own.

The star of the show is our classic Rustic Canadian Diamond Cushion Halo engagement ring with an alternative twist of Seashore texture. It boasts a rosecut diamond mined locally in Canada, and a halo of accent diamonds, artistically set in 14k hammered yellow gold.

The bride is pairing the engagement ring with a nature inspired Morning Dew Band – a perfect choice if you’re looking for a little bit more sparkle to add to the set! The band features nine accent diamonds, and is available in rose, yellow and white gold.

And finishing the look is a delicate gold piece from our Golden Leaves collection. Leafs Twig band is a favourite with nature inspired boho brides looking for organic, non-traditional rings to complete their style.

All our designs are fully customizable to make them truly one of a kind. The rings may be set with a variety of gemstones (may we suggest green sapphires?) and are available in yellow, white and rose gold, as well as platinum.

Category: Bridal Inspiration, Photo-Shoots, Raw Diamond Rings, Unique Engagement Rings

Recently Anouk Jewelry collaborated with the lovely Valerie Tesoro on a vibrantly coloured bridal photoshoot, featured on Wedluxe blog this summer.

“Inspired by the exquisite Spanish architecture of Hacienda Sarria, this lush styled shoot is bursting with deep burgundy accents, regal gold details, and fresh fruit and florals. Between the stunning floral arrangements interspersed with greenery, the luxe red linens, and divine dessert table, you’ll feel like you’re wandering through a Valencian vineyard!” gushes the blog. We couldn’t agree more!

The three designs showcased in this gorgeous style shoot are our Mountain Star wedding band; Seashore Mens band and the star of the show – Ornate Halo Ring. The beautiful engagement ring design is inspired by the ancient treasures and organic textures. It features a unique rustic grey raw diamond and a variety of accent round and pear shaped diamonds.

The wedding bands are a staple of Anouk Jewelry and are ever popular with our bohemian couples.

As with all our pieces, the design process starts with a drawing, then the pieces are hand sculpted in wax and finally, get cast in recycled gold. Anouk sources unconventional gem stones for the engagement rings, often preferring the non-traditional, alternative look. All the rings are fully customizable and are available in white, yellow, rose and platinum gold with a variety of gem stones.

Cosmic Wedding Inspiration

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

We love to participate in originally themed bridal style shoots, and when the photographer Sara Monika suggested the idea of a magical Cosmos-themed night style session, we got really excited! The result of this truly inspirational collaboration was featured on Ruffled blog earlier this spring. As the blog puts it, “this story blends the best of two worlds, giving us inspiration for not only woodland weddings, but beach weddings as well! The creative team integrated moody hues and cosmic energy for a shoot that’s utterly magical from head to toe.”

Adds Sara Monika: “With love carrying such an intangible, magical energy, I was inspired to create a wedding styled shoot that celebrates the powerful force + energy of the universe. A shoot filled with cosmic tones, which are warmed up in the presence of love + light, all working together simultaneously to create a mysterious yet comforting atmosphere… With an incredible group of people, we were able to put together this Cosmic Inspired Wedding Styled Shoot… The rings which are handmade by Anouk Jewelry signify the beauty in our imperfect universe since each ring is made to be imperfect on purpose, just as love + life is. We chose to have the shoot by the water on Lake Simcoe (more specifically at Sibbald Point) since we wanted the “couple” to be surrounded by all the elements – Fire, Water, Earth, Air – and what’s better than a mini bonfire on the beach!?”

The beautiful couple showcases three of Anouk Jewelry designs, a one-of-a-kind teal Montana Sapphire engagement ring; the delicate Waves band and Timeless Mens band. These rings are a perfect fit for alternative couples who prefer unique non-traditional statement jewelry to highlight their special bond.

As with all our jewelry, these designs are hand sculpted and created in Toronto, Canada.

Victorian Inspiration for a Modern Wedding

Anouk Jewelry teamed with the talented Madison Rose Photography for a modern take on the Victorian wedding theme. The stunning results of this themed photoshoot were recently published on Elegant Wedding blog. “Who says a Victorian wedding can’t be modernized? We are swooning over this creative” declares the blog. “Berry tones mixed blissfully with gold for this Victorian wedding inspiration shoot captured by

“Who says a Victorian wedding can’t be modernized? We are swooning over this creative” declares the blog. “Berry tones mixed blissfully with gold for this Victorian wedding inspiration shoot captured by Madison Rose Photography at Ball’s Falls, Niagara. Caught between fall and winter, the outdoor scene features lush burgundy florals, a rustic table for two, as well as wooden signage and a vibrant red settee. To push the Victorian era, the redheaded bride wears a delicate gown” and a non-traditional Night Sky ring by Anouk Jewelry.

This design is a bold choice for an unconventional engagement ring, as dark blue labradorite is a truly unique stone! Labradorite is a magical gem, famous for its blue flash that can be enjoyed from different angles. The lore of the Inuit peoples claims Labradorite fell from the frozen fire of the Aurora Borealis. According to the myths, this stone becomes extraordinary, shimmering in a mystical light that separates the waking world from unseen realms. As well, it is believed labradorite enhances the wearer’s intuitive abilities.

Our ring’s title, Night Sky, pays homage to this noble stone and its story. This unique ring brings out the beauty of the gemstone and showcases its inner glow and can also be worn as a right-hand ring.

Category: Bridal Inspiration, Photo-Shoots, Updates

Spring is around the corner and after months of cold weather, all we want is some sunshine.

What better occasion to reminisce of the beach! Today we’re thinking back to this glorious boho-glam beach elopement shoot by the lovely Anastasia of Olive Photography! This inspiration was featured on the Green Wedding Shoes blog last summer. “Annie of Madison & Ella Inc. styled this editorial with the warm, rich golden colors of the sun and sand in mind, creating the perfect intimate ceremony and tablescape for two. The premise behind her vision was all about two wildly in love people who wanted to be married on the beach, just the two of them, celebrating their love under the sun. So they jump in their Volkswagen Mini Bus and drive to the coast to get hitched under a teepee with their vows printed on canvas and adorned with macrame accents. Pretty much a dream, don’t you think? Let’s see the beauty come to life in Olive Photography‘s captures below!” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

This inspirational shoot features no less than four of our signature designs! The Bohemian Halo (Mandala) Ring (14k gold with diamonds) is well paired with the Stackable Twig band (14k gold with accent diamonds) and suits the Boho bride perfectly! Our Inspiration Well signature design is a great statement choice for an unconventional and confident bride, paired with the delicate Elements band. As with all our jewelry, these designs are hand sculpted and created in Toronto, Canada.

Partnered once again with the supremely talented Katie Nicolle, Anouk Jewelry is thrilled to be featured on the ever so stylish blog of Magnolia Rouge. “When Katie Nicolle Photography visited Italy last year she knew she simply had to use the opportunity to create a beautiful bridal shoot” says the publication. The stunning venue of The Villa Borghese provided an incredible outlook over the Eternal City and the perfect backdrop for this styled photoshoot.

Our elaborate Bohemian Halo (Mandala) ring looks exquisite in the Roman setting. Set among the timeless antiquities and the beautiful atmosphere of the Italian Rennaissance, the vintage-inspired Mandala design fits right in with its sense of elegant opulence. The flowing softness of the Bride’s lace veil and dress and the warm colours of the Roman landscape compliment Anouk’s ornate ring and help it shine.

Inspired by a Mandala design representing the universe, and the lotus flower, which stands for purity, this alternative engagement ring is perfectly suited for a non-traditional bohemian bride, who wishes to make a lasting impression. Our sustainable jewelry is designed and cast in Toronto; our diamonds, sapphires and other gemstones are sourced locally from well-established suppliers. As with all signature engagement rings, this piece was hand carved by our designer Anat, and cast in 14k recycled gold. The ring incorporates a conflict free central diamond, surrounded by a halo and an array of accent diamonds. This design is very versatile and may be cast in yellow, white or rose gold, and a variety of gemstones.

Luckily, you don’t have to be a bride to enjoy this gorgeous ring! The Mandala design is very versatile and may be cast in yellow, white or rose gold, and be customized to feature a wide variety of gems, such as birth stones. It is also a popular choice for a right-hand statement ring.

In the spirit of Through-back-Thursday, today we are reminiscing about the dreamy Style Me Pretty feature of Anouk Jewelry. The peach-and-gold themed styled shoot was captured by the talented Whitney Heard of Whitney Heard Photography, and featured no less than three of our designs!

As Style Me Pretty put it, “A fresh approach to a beachside romance, this locally styled shoot featured a stunning backdrop, a romantic fishtail braid, and plenty of gorgeous gold accents, this inspiration a la Whitney Heard Photography was peachy-hued perfection”.

Adds Whitney …The Scarborough Bluffs on the edge of Toronto were the stunning backdrop for this lakeside shoot. We love the combination of the fishtail braid, flowing dresses, and gold accents, which will bring a little warmth to any spring wedding. We took a fresh new approach to the blush colour palette by adding hints of peach and gold. This inspiration shoot is perfect for the fun loving bride, who wants to shine on her wedding day!

The bride wore our Peach Sapphire Halo ring, designed in 14k rose gold and features a deep peach sapphire centre stone, accentuated by a halo of a dozen sparkling diamonds. This unique engagement ring is a striking version of our Little Halo ring and is perfect for the bohemian bride planning her spring wedding.

This unconventional engagement ring is beautifully paired with our signature Mountain Star studs and the delicate Seashore Dot necklace.

We hope you enjoy our selection of images from this inspiring spring-style shoot.

As featured on Wedding Sparrow, “this gorgeous Oregon coastal inspiration shoot by Katie Nicolle speaks to our aesthetic-driven eye and pulls at our heart’s strings. Magical West Coast sunset glow reflects in Anouk’s gold Rustic Canadian Diamond Halo ring, creating a dreamy atmosphere.”

From Katie Nicolle: “While planning this shoot, I really wanted it to be about the bride & the beautiful scenery surrounding her. I loved the idea of soft, pale skin with dark hair to contrast against the gloominess of the Oregon Coast. As the sun began to set, a golden glow came over the horizon which film reacts to in such a magical way.”

The ring Katie chose to feature in this styled photoshoot showcases a Rustic Canadian Cushion-cut Diamond in Anouk’s hand sculptured Halo design. The diamond’s sparkle shimmers mysteriously against the backdrop of an overcast day, bringing some of Canadian beauty to the West Coast landscape. This bohemian engagement ring boasts a natural diamond set in a halo of accent diamonds. The rustic cushion-cut Canadian diamond is complemented by the hammered 14k yellow gold setting in a truly unique engagement ring design, perfectly suited for an alternative bride.

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

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.

This dreamy Italian inspiration photoshoot was published in August’s Magnolia Rouge. Captured by the lovely Katie Nicolle Photography in Villa Borghese in Rome, our unique Rough Diamond Octahedron Halo engagement ring feels beautifully at home.

Created in recycled white gold, the featured ring echos the textures found in nature. Anouk Jewelry’s hand sculpted organic design highlights the natural look of the untreated central diamond.

The non traditional rough diamond engagement ring is an original alternative for the nature loving couple. The accent diamonds halo compliments the beauty of the central rough diamond and brings out its natural brilliance.

Anouk Jewelry collaborated with Kayla Yestal Photography on a beautiful and inspirational bridal photoshoot in County Laois, Ireland, featuring our Floating Halo engagement ring and Seashore Dot necklace. The story was published on Magnolia Rouge blog in March 2016.

To quote Kayla, “Using entirely local vendors from both our home base of Toronto and where would be staying throughout our trip, we manage to bring together elements that had an effortless and organic vibe that we would imagine a last minute elopement would have. Our overall goal was to prove that despite how daunting planning a wedding by yourself from an entirely different country can seem, it can be done in a relatively simple way while still appearing elegant and refined.“
