Known and renowned for her authenticity, the artist jeweller Anne-Marie Chagnon introduced both launches in these words: " Still today, I remain faithful to my conviction: being your true self is remarkable. I invent adornments to make women beautiful, as strong and remarkable as they are, confident and proud. I have the passion to create an original collection every year in order to prolong this history of emotions and authenticity I have the privilege to share with materials and with women. I welcome you into my audacity".
To create each collection, the artist first imagines then draws the dominant pieces before giving them shape through wax models. This craft skill requires both great meticulousness and immense creativity. When creating a piece, she already knows in which material it will come to life. Chiselled pewter, iridescent glass, carved resin and resin glaze, gold, bronze, wood, horn: Anne-Marie Chagnon offers every year, as this year, an original collection composed of exclusives jewellery creations.
"Like every year, I enjoyed sculpting and designing each piece, detailing each texture and creating each color myself to offer you an exclusive collection. This year, I am introducing two significant novelties with the 2016 Collection. First, I have chosen to shed a new light on my signature raw material, pewter. Once more assorted to gold, a gold so matte it feels silky, I enriched the contrast formed by that duo with the brilliance of bronze. Then, the pewter is adorned with colors which, from the translucent to the abundance of pigments, are layered in captivating swirling pools. Each piece is hand-painted with resin at the studio — absolutely unique", shares the creator and multidisciplinary artist Anne-Marie Chagnon.
Inspired by nature, Anne-Marie Chagnon wanted to pay it a tribute, in all its finesse and might. As a result, each creation of the 2016 collection is named after a mountain that breaths fire. Discover this universe of volcanic gentleness.
