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.

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

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.

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.

Category: Bridal Inspiration, Champagne Diamonds, Engagement Rings, Unique Engagement Rings, Wedding bands

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.

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!

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!

Category: Updates

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 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.

“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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

Featured in Style Me Pretty’s August blog is our Bohemian Halo (Mandala) ring. The styled photoshoot by the talented Julia Park Photography and Cinema focused on “the bohemian spring elements, with a display inspired by the organic fluidity of poetry with a touch of elegance and luxury. The subtle interplay between soft textiles and delicate metals, further suggested by the fine array of artisan dyed linens and silk ribbon, all blend beautifully into a splendid palette of rose, gold and silver.”

Beautifully put on Style Me Pretty, “Nestled upon the soft blush chiffon is an exquisitely crafted elegant heirloom ring by Anouk Jewelry. The serene outdoors at St. George Golfing Country Club was the perfect place to welcome spring in a curious and fanciful way.”

Anouk’s Bohemian engagement ring is beautifully fitted for this bridal inspiration shoot. This piece was hand carved and cast in 14k recycled gold, incorporating conflict free central diamond, surrounded by a halo and an array of accent diamonds. This piece is inspired by the Eastern concept of the Mandala and the lotus flower. In the Buddhist culture the Mandala represents the universe, while the lotus flower stands for purity.

This unique engagement ring is a perfect fit for a non traditional boho-bride, looking for a distinct artistic statement.

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. The eternal elegance and unconventional design of the ring mirrors the individual personality of a bohemian bride.

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.“
