Winter Wonders Artisan Profile: Coutu Kitsch

 
I make my jewelry in a Calgary Studio using upcycled & vintage supplies, chains, and natural gemstones. I make a wide variety of jewelry including rings, bracelets, necklaces, and hair accessories. My assortment is unique and appeals to a wide consumer base - fashionable men and women. I make many one of a kind pieces which is very appealing to a customer looking for truly unique pieces. I am inspired by random things everyday, but I am most inspired by the internet, looking through blogs and trend reports but i find i am most inspired when searching for new supplies, especially vintage supplies. I see potential these old tarnished supplies have to be turned into pieces of jewelry people could really appreciate and cherish!
