Anais Rose
A love of craft
The early spark
As I grew older, I became fascinated by the differences in design and various settings, shapes and finishes. I would often compare them on my hand, wondering how they would look if I combined the styles to create something new. This continues to be my favourite part, playing around with making the most of the stones within a setting, displaying them at their best by adding special features to make each design unique.
learning the art of jewellery
Hands on beginnings
In my 20’s, I joined the family business as ‘the runner’ and soon progressed from making tea to the workshop – which is where the magic happens! Here, I translated specific instructions from the sales staff to the jeweller’s mounters and setters, ensuring that each and every piece was made and finished to the highest possible standard.
studying Gemology
Polishing the passion
I studied my graduate degree in diamonds at the world renowned GIA (Gemmological Institute of America) and graduated in 2005. Here I learnt more about the 4 C’s of diamond; Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat weight, and how variations of these factors impact both the rarity and beauty within each stone. I deepened my understanding of how the cut and proportion of a stone directly impacts the amount of light return, life, scintillation, brilliance and fire. As a result, when sourcing and calibrating diamonds for Anais Rose jewellery, only the finest will pass my specific quality control!
Western Australia
A new chapter
By 2007, I was looking for new challenges and went to work in Australia. While there, I traveled to the Argyle diamond mine—an experience that will stay with me forever! Seeing firsthand the incredible journey of each diamond, from the rugged landscape of Western Australia to the refined gemstone in a piece of jewellery, changed my perspective entirely. The mine’s unique pink diamonds, unearthed from such remote terrain, gave me a deeper appreciation for the rarity and beauty of these stones and inspired me to honour their journey in my work.
Named with love
Founding Anais Rose Jewellery
In 2009, my beautiful daughter Anais Rose was born, I took some time out and concentrated on design and enjoyed being more creative with my work. I began sketching and designing my own pieces and encouraged by fantastic feedback, I continued to create more and more of my own collection.
the showroom
No 5 Hatton Garden
In time, it became clear that I needed my own showroom, and so Anais Rose Jewellery was born - a natural next step on my path. Visiting the Argyle diamond mine had deepened my appreciation for each stone’s journey. I began to see my role as honouring that journey, making sure each diamond reaches its fullest potential, to be enjoyed just as it was meant to be.
