Force of Nature Nothing is more perfect than nature. Artists and writers have celebrated its epic beauty for centuries, but for me jewellery is the ideal way to explore nature’s extraordinary complexity in miniature. A butterfly as it lands on your hand; dew on a spider’s web; the colour of a peacock feather — I have always been drawn to the minute details of nature. Qualities found in nature have a strong influence on how I design, leading me to consider how a piece feels when worn, or the way light plays on diamonds alongside a gemstone from my collection, whose distinctive markings capture the force of nature. Expressing a sense of wonder in jewellery whose texture and beauty is a celebration of the colour, movement and delicacy I experience around me every day, has been a perennial theme in my work for over 25 years. The following pages are a celebration of nature’s perfection.

Miniature Magic Amulets evoke their wearer’s hopes and dreams, fears and fragilities. Infused with memory, they are one of the most human forms of jewellery. Traditionally man made or natural objects, they could be anything from the petals of a peony pressed into a pocket to a yellow sapphire worn close to the skin. Amulets give us the belief that we will be protected from harm, bringing h appi ne s s a nd prosp er it y. W hether they h ave genu i nely m ag ic a l properties, or simply give us the determination and courage to take a par ticu lar jou r ney i n ou r l ives, they have been shapi ng i nd iv idual destinies for centuries. Our ancestors used charms as part of their worship of nature and natural spirits. Almost every type of jewellery we wear today — bracelets, rings,
armlets and earrings — was originally conceived as a protective charm;
the more amulets and layers of jewels you wear, the greater strength and protection you receive.

R e sp ond i n g emotion a l ly t o the jewel ler y she we a r s a nd cr e at e s, Annoushka constantly explores what is meaningful for her in her most important pieces. Understanding early on the importance of well-being and mindfulness for our generation, Annoushka saw that charms and amulets, with their nurturing and playful individuality, could be wonderful contemporary luxuries, meaningful gifts to ourselves and our loved ones. Mythology features golden astrological signs alongside diamond-studded folk symbols; grasshoppers that promise bountiful riches; carved ebony pinecones that protect; hand-painted butterflies to envelope the soul and bring eternal life. Stones are chosen as much for their spiritual properties as for their qualities of brilliance and colour. “I have a real awareness that we need less,” says Annoushka, “and so the pieces you bring into your life should be precious to you. Mythology distils that sense of preciousness and importance, in the materials that each piece is crafted from, and in the stories they capture.” Layer these protective symbols in your own way, or select complete necklaces for love, health, and prosperity.

Perfected by Nature Gemstones are found in a rainbow of colours, with visual textures that create distinctive character. Annoushka places these ex pressive gemstones at the hear t of her designs, emphasising their natural beauty. The character and personality of a stone is most important for Annoushka, not it’s purity or price tag. Attracted to strong, vivid colours and luminous surfaces, she often selects stones with natural inclusions rather than choosing flawless, but less characterful alternatives. This search for character also draws her to stones that are less frequently used in fine jewellery, such as garnet, the hero of the Shard collection, whose rich raspberry tones are transformed by a fresh, contemporary rose gold setting.

T he beauty of rare and u nusual st ones is ver y much the focus for Annoushka’s One of a Kind jewels. Her love of iridescent labradorite, fiery Ethiopian opals and vivid dusty diamonds, stems from their distinct personality, while fossil coral and bronzite have a rich visual texture which contrasts beautifully with brilliant cut diamonds. Interesti ng stone cuts also play an i mpor tant role i n A n noush ka’s distinctive aesthetic. Carved stones are a particular favourite, the beauty of each individual gem enhanced by the exceptional eye and skill of the craftsman. This skill can also be seen in the hand cut briolette diamonds and rose cut stones which Annoushka loves for their subtle organic quality. Her trained eye and access to unusual, characterful stones means that we have many exceptional gems waiting to be reimagined in one of Annoushka's designs. The inherent natural beauty of the gemstones she finds adds heirloom quality to these exceptional pieces.
