After her studies, she returned to the United States, and in 1968 took the position as in-house designer at Tiffany & Co.

In 1984, after her 18 year partnership with Tiffany, Cummings left the company, and established her own business with her husband Bruce Cummings. Her first boutique opened in the New York department store, Bergdorf Goodman on 5th Avenue, quickly leading to further success and expansion. In 1990, Angela Cummings Inc formed an alliance with Shiseido The Giza, opening stores and boutiques throughout Japan. In 2003, Angela retired, moving to Utah with her family and closing all her boutiques although in 2013 she was tempted back into designing a limited edition collection for the pearl specialist Assael.
