My story
Atelier Chicoine it's me, Jessica Chicoine, a jewelry artist. Graduated from the Montreal Jewelry School in 2013, my thirst for learning led me to pursue a bachelor's degree in industrial design at the University of Montreal which I completed in 2017. During my studies, following a class and workshop on textiles, a new passion was born in me. It was then that I decided to combine my love of jewelry with my love of textiles to create crocheted jewelry with recycled fabrics. It is during this time that I developed Loop, my first collection of jewelry made from textiles.
Atelier Chicoine is a laboratory of exploration with different materials, such as textile, paper and sterling silver.
In 2021, the pandemic inspired me to explore and present a new body of crocheted and colourful work. Tired of the dark, I want to use my work to inspire people to dare and unleash their true colour.
