Anne Sportun
Showcasing Anne Sportun’s debut collection in the UK, Astley Clarke is honoured and delighted to be introducing this highly original design talent exclusively at Astley Clarke. Driven by her belief in a universal language of shapes and symbols, the celebrated Canadian finds a subtle harmony between the irregular and precise. Often favouring the traditional rose cut – first made popular in the 16th century for its resemblance to an unopened rose bud – Anne faultlessly creates ageless, elegant designs. Based in Toronto, Anne’s tireless devotion to her trade was honoured in 2003 with a Canadian postage stamp featuring her hands and rings.
