Anne-Marie Chagnon - New QOR Collection

Jewellery can be fun and whimsical, but how about convertible? French Canadian talent, Anne-Marie Chagnon started her collection in 1995 and never looked back.

Innovation is what Anne-Marie Chagnon's creations are all about. Now with the launch of QOR, the introduction of 22 karate gold-plated pewter into a traditionally cool metallic palette, she continues to re-invent her jewellery. What sets QOR apart from her previous collections is that many of the pieces are reversible. Although the trademark of the designer is convertible jewellery, never before has the wearer been able to transform their look on the spot but simply flipping a pendant over or turning a bracelet inside-out. It makes great sense, especially with today's economy, buying one piece and able to wear it in multiple ways and style is the key.

Her creative pieces captured the attention of Cirque du Soleil in 2003 and Chagnon has been designing excusively for them since. Her accolades include a recent trip to represent Canada as one of only three jewellery designers to participate in the 2010 Expo held in Shanghai, China.

The QOR collection will be available at boutiques, galleries, and museums across the country starting in January 2011. To see more of her collection go to http://www.annemariechagnon.com/
