Why you should pop by: If you know your jewellery, then chances are you have already heard of Annoushka Ducas, the entrepreneur who’s responsible for founding some of the UK’s best loved jewellery companies, including Links of London and, of course, the eponymous Annoushka.

With its flagship store on South Molton street, customers at Annoushka can pick up the most beautiful and unique pieces of jewellery anywhere in the UK. Choose from classic materials, such as diamonds, pearls and gold. Or, if you want to pick up something a little bit different, check out Annoushka’s collections inspired by themes such as zodiac signs, talisman and even the bold and opulent ‘Vampire’s Wife’ selection.

Although Annoushka’s is primarily known for its wedding jewellery, visitors here can purchase all types of pieces, and there is something for everyone in this beautiful Mayfair store. The great thing about this shop is that you don’t need to break the bank to bring home something beautiful. Jewellery pieces here start from as little as a few hundred pounds, so it’s the perfect shop to pick up a beautiful piece for any occasion.
