Anne-Marie Chagnon - Combining Sustainability and Creativity

Anne-Marie Chagnon's Creative Spirit

Canadian jewelry designer Anne-Marie-Chagnon's inspiration is the key to every piece she and her team produce. Anne-Marie started her business in 1995 to help women express their uniqueness through accessories. Every aspect of nature is the starting point of a sensual outline, a passionate colour or a refined texture that she renders on her distinctive designs.

Anne-Marie Chagnon's creative process  

Her creation and production takes place in her Montreal studio. Her vision is transformed from drawing, to a sculpted wax model or 3 dimensional printable design.  It's then cast in pewter in her very own art foundry!  Elements of resin, glass, ceramic, wood and leather are all hand-crafted by her team. Her pieces are meant to feel like a form of self-expression for the wearer, with mix and match pieces options that she can alter and tweak from day to day.

An International Accessory A-Lister

Countless peers from creative circles recognise the depth of Anne-Marie's artistic approach and high-quality expertise. Le Cirque du Soleil solicited her to create their exclusive branded jewelry for a decade.  She was also awarded the Etoile de Mode at the Bijorhca Paris Trade Show.  In New York, Anne-Marie's pieces were selected by style icon Iris Apfel to be included in the collection of artwork sold at the Peabody Essex Museum. 

 

 

Sustainability

Sustainability is an integral part of Anne-Marie Chagnon’s business model. A "Made To Order" production means increased sustainability and all-over quality, as every piece is overseen from start to finish by the creative team. While the process may be a little lengthier, it lessens waste as the team has a closer view of quantities needed and recycles any unused material. 

 

Anne-Marie Chagnon's Metal Of Choice

Why pewter?  it's malleable (which comes to handy in the designer's one size malleable rings which you can contract or extend from sizes 6 to 9!  Pewter is also nickel and lead free, and can be cleaned easily!
