Brighton Designer Jewellery

Always a keen maker and collector of small treasures , Annaloucah’s passion for jewellery design was first ignited whilst studying for her BA (Hons) degree in Liverpool in the late 1990's.

On completion of her studies, Anna left the UK to travel and to explore her fascination for the people and cultures of the world .This journey was to have a deep impact on her both personally and professionally.

Time spent working with goldsmiths in India and Hong Kong , along with solo projects in Australia and New Zealand deeply instilled in her a love for the world jewellery that surrounded her , both for it’s ornament and for its symbolism.

After several hugely inspiring years over sea’s, Anna returned home to St Ives in Cornwall where she began to turn this passion for jewellery into a successful business.

Imbued with a sense of magic realism , blended with the age old jewellery designs and motifs of her travels , Annaloucah Bespoke Jewellery Design has gone from strength to strength since its beginnings in 2004. During this time she has received numerous grants and scholarships, achieved success in design awards, and won many prestigious commissions.

The 2007 award sought new designs in collections of gold incorporating coloured stones and must be suitable for wearing to a party of the designer’s choice.

Anna Loucah based her collection on a glamorous awards party such as the Oscars and entitled her range “I Accept…”. The designs are based around shooting stars, as in when a star is at its most dynamic with the concept being that the pieces are to be worn by a woman who is up for an award and therefore to be the star of the show. The stones chosen by Anna are all linked to accepting ones self and abilities as well as the award, in a bold and confident way.

The shortlist will be reduced to six finalists on the 29th November 2006 including the winner and five runners-up. Collections by all finalists will be displayed on the British Jewellers Association stand at the Spring Fair Birmingham in February 2007 and submitted for a further ‘Buyers Choice’ Award. To purchase some of Anna Loucah’s latest work, such as the silver bracelet pictured, go to her online store where you can also place special commissions.
