Guided by the idea of ascension, the Sursum memorial necklace rises between matter and spirit. Adjustable in length thanks to its sliding clasp, this reliquary necklace combines two screw-sealed stainless-steel vials with multiple pendants in natural or 22K gold-plated pewter. In a vertical and spiritual composition, this duo of round lockets is designed to hold fragments of memory — a note, a lock of hair, ashes, or pet fur. This piece of remembrance jewelry invites you to look upward, toward the place where our most precious memories remain.
Anne-Marie Chagnon’s MEMENTO collection features seven necklaces, each adorned with a vial designed to hold a memory, a fragment of life, or something too precious to forget. Inspired by reliquary jewelry, these pieces go far beyond adornment — they honour what stays with us, what we carry, and what we choose to remember. All the while, they bear the unmistakable mark of the artist: a sculptural, soulful, and bold aesthetic where symbolism and raw materials converge to transform each piece into a silent witness to what remains.
Artisanal craftmanship
Every piece is one-of-a-kind and crafted by hand in Montreal, using high-quality materials. The distinctiveness of pewter, glass, resin, and pearls, with subtle variations in their shapes and colors, gives each piece of jewelry a unique allure.
