We were absolutely thrilled to hear that Anabela (Chan, No.1, 1995-03) recently won the Game Changer Award at the British Luxury Awards 2023.

Anabela is an inspirational fine jewellery designer, with her brand becoming ‘the first fine jewellery brand in the world to champion laboratory grown and created gemstones with high jewellery design and artisanal craftsmanship, always with a focus on ethical and sustainable innovations.’

On winning the Game Changer award, she said,

This is monumental for us as a female-founded independent brand, with last year’s winner being McLaren, this award is given to the innovators or innovations of British luxury – people, products or services which have shifted the dial and demonstrated meaningful change within their sector.

My 6yo daughter Valentine’s favourite books are a series called ‘Little People, Big Dreams’. It made me realise that every single one of us has a superpower within us - and that is the ability to dream. If you can imagine it, you can make it a reality.

Thank you so much for this award and I cannot wait to keep learning and exploring. The best is always yet to come, and this award is also for all the female founders, independent business owners and all the working mothers out there - this one is for all of us. 

With her creations worn globally by stars like Beyonce, Rhianna, and Taylor Swift, Anabela really is a jeweller to the stars. Founded in London in 2014, her award-winning brand now has a flagship boutique in Knightsbridge and is stocked by selected boutiques worldwide.
