" Designing jewellery that becomes part of someone’s story is what why I started ANUKA. I want every piece to feel meaningful- something to be worn every day, treasured over time and eventually passed on.
From responsible sourcing to sustainable craftsmanship, I believe beautiful jewellery should be made with integrity, care and purpose."
FRANCESCA KIPPAX, FOUNDER
About Francesca
Francesca Kippax founded ANUKA with a vision to create fine jewellery rooted in timeless design, responsible craftsmanship and lasting meaning.
Her journey into jewellery began at the prestigious School of Jewellery in Birmingham, where she studied BA (Hons) Jewellery and Silversmithing. After graduating, Francesca launched under her own name, exhibiting and selling through galleries across the UK.
Moving to Vietnam became a pivotal moment in shaping both her creative direction and values. Living there for several years, Francesca felt awakened to the impact humankind was having on the environment and proceeded to dedicate ANUKA's ethos to giving back.
Francesca founded ANUKA with a focus on British craftsmanship, responsibly sourced materials and timeless design - creating modern heirlooms designed to be worn, loved and passed through generations.

The Story Behind Francesca's Jewellery
Each piece worn by our founder is a reflection of memories, milestones and the people closest to her.
Her AMARA II necklace was originally created for herself and her sister, later evolving to include the birthstone of her daughter, becoming a piece that continues to evolve. Her signet ring draws inspiration from her Grandpa’s own signet, reimagined into a contemporary heirloom that honours both sentiment and tradition.
What started as a sketch for her own engagement ring slowly became a signature style that we have reimagined time and time again, each with its own story.
Together, these pieces capture life’s meaningful moments. Jewellery designed to be lived in, layered with memories and passed on through generations.
