Annoushka and Alice Temperley come together to present a special collection of bridal jewellery for a modern, relaxed bride seeking beautifully detailed, meaningful pieces to dance the night away in and wear again and again.
Inspired by the shape of British bluebells and a Victorian dove trinket from Alice’s own jewellery box, the collection features rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets, all in polished, 18-ct yellow gold, with decorative combinations of pavé diamonds, pearls, and gems including aquamarines and tiny sapphires for “something blue”.
Set into the backs of gold dove silhouettes, the sapphires are typical of Annoushka’s belief that jewellery should feel intimate, and made for the wearer to enjoy.
Designing a collection collaboratively is always a journey, you push each other and see things from the other’s perspective – with Alice we have the same outlook on bridal today, it’s about detail and beauty but also about wearability – we want brides to be romanced by the designs, but also adore them so much, they want to wear them every day.

I have always been a big fan of vintage jewellery and designing these
beautiful bridal pieces in collaboration with Annoushka inspired by my very
own jewellery trinkets was a total joy. I am looking forward to seeing this
collection complementing all the brides who can finally celebrate their big day.

A talismanic symbol of love said to symbolise purity and hope, and white diamonds, the most ancient of all gemstones, add the shine together the feeling is elegant, and free spirited.

18ct gold bluebells cascade in elegantly balanced formations from pearl and diamond-decorated doves, with each bluebell dangling its own freshwater pearl. Made to move with the body, these are earrings for the first dance and forever after.
Pearl and diamond-studded doves swoop from the ends of ticking gold threads, dangling single pearls. Delicate yet modern and supremely light, these earrings can be worn as a pair, singly or styled with studs.

Two 18ct gold doves with diamond-studded wings meet over a bezel-set, oval-shaped aquamarine as if drinking from a pool. This statement cocktail ring is a delight to wear and admire, typical of Annoushka’s love of finely wrought detail.
Inspired by Alice’s love of mirrored disco balls, this cocktail ring, set with pearls and faceted aquamarines is a party in miniature, catching the light and making it dance.
Lightweight and hypermobile, the collection is made to move with the body and sparkle under the lights, so brides can dance the night away in comfort on their wedding day and ever after.
An exclusive insight into the meeting of two unique design minds — Annoushka Ducas and Alice Temperley discuss the inspirations and desires behind their bridal jewellery collaboration.
