Anne-Marie
Chagnon was born twice. The first time was when she came upon
her mother's jewellery box as a little girl. The second was
when she began creating her own jewellery and established her
company in 1995. With a keen imagination, this fine arts graduate
from the Université du Québec à Montréal
is now easily recognized for her unique handmade collections
that playfully push boundaries and showcase familiar materials
in an all new way. Pewter, wood, resin and glass come alive
in her hands, simultaneously revealing their primitive, sensual
and joyous sides.

Irina
designs her pieces using her own hand made collage and wire
beads. For the collage beads, paper, gold and silver leaf are
applied onto wooden beads or on ceramic beads that the artist
makes herself. The curly wire beads are made from black, silver
and colored copper wire, wrapped and then spun into balls. Irina
is mixing the collage and wire beads with other textures and
materials to create her one of a kind jewelry pieces. Her jewelry
motifs revolve around themes of color, texture and juxtaposition
of shades and hues of same tones. She creates a bold and graphic
distinctive line of jewelry.

Designing jewellery is Judi Patson’s 8th career. Like
the previous seven — which ranged from 1st Assistant Film
Director to professional laugher — it began as a whim.
Unlike the previous seven, designing jewellery has become Judi’s
passion. Right after ice cream.
