Fine jewellery brand Annoushka opens a boutique in Ocean Centre and launches its very first bridal collection
Annoushka Ducas believes that jewellery should be like relationships: versatile yet enduring, and something that evolves with time. On her wedding day she wore jewellery she designed herself, and even created her own engagement ring, which she still adores 31 years later.
Inspired by her desire to create jewellery that can be worn seamlessly alongside existing pieces, as well as her long-term love of precious gems, Ducas has unveiled her first bridal collection for her eponymous brand.

Titled Love & Commitment, this collection combines colourful stones, gold and diamonds to mimic the lively qualities of flowers like those in her own garden. Her engagement rings include solitaire, three stone and five stone designs, all crafted in 18-karat white or yellow gold.
Ducas also created bolder rings with colourful stones, that come with the option of ring jackets that can be worn as a wedding band or added as a milestone gift. The choice of these stones is not without meaning. Morganite, for example, represents promise while tourmaline is said to bring peace.
