This Week's Saskatchewan Artist is MG Gems

Marianne Greer of MG Gems

Marianne Greer is a gemmologist and chainmaille artist.  She designs and creates unique, handcrafted gemstone and chainmaille jewelry, incorporating precious and semi-precious gemstones with sterling and fine silver, 14K gold filled, vermeil, copper, and bronze. 

In Marianne's words:

"I have been involved in creative pursuits for many years, from drawing and painting, to pottery – I was a member of the Saskatoon Potters Guild in the 1970’s – to jewelry design and creation. 

Since 2008, I have focused on designing and creating chainmaille jewelry.   I especially enjoy the challenge of developing new ways to incorporate gemstones and glass beads into chainmaille designs.  I find working with clients to design unique, custom pieces especially rewarding.

I am inspired by nature's beauty as captured in gemstones, as well as geometry and the intricacy of chainmaille weaves. My jewellery integrates gemstone beads into age-old chainmaille weaves to create unique and interesting jewelry for the modern woman."

Marianne is a member of the Canadian Gemmological Association.
