Audrey-Rose Maréchal

Audrey-Rose Maréchal is an independent fine jewelry designer and jeweller from Montreal whose work reflects a deeply personal and sensitive style, shaped by nature, flowers, and a sense of movement that resonates strongly with us at Ruby Mardi.

Audrey-Rose Maréchal founded Fleurs Sauvages Qc in 2022, bringing a fresh and deeply personal perspective to contemporary jewelry. Trained at the École de joaillerie de Montréal, she approaches her craft with a sensibility rooted in nature, texture, and quiet emotion.

Her creations carry a sense of ease and softness, shaped by hand and guided by organic lines.
Each piece reflects her fascination for natural forms and the subtle poetry found in wildflower silhouettes and shifting landscapes.

We're happy to present to you a short interview in which you'll learn about what inspires Audrey-Rose, what she loves and get a glimpse of who she is.

Who are the artists you love the most, who inspire you or accompany you? Do they influence your work, and if so, in what way?

I have great admiration for the work of Van Cleef & Arpels, as my inspiration comes from how profoundly beautiful I find nature to be.
I am fascinated by wildflowers and flora in general. I studied at the École de joaillerie de Montréal, and I am also a landscape architecture student, with a degree in horticulture from Laval University.

In the work of Van Cleef & Arpels, I see extraordinary precision and a shared source of inspiration: nature.
Although my own brand, Fleurs Sauvages Qc, also creates fine jewelry inspired by nature, I love how our interpretations of its beauty differ.
Their work is truly magnificent.

I also enjoy observing the evolution of jewelry throughout history, in museums,
but above all, it is in nature itself that I draw my inspiration.
At first, I made jewelry only for myself, for pleasure and to recharge. It is a very meditative activity for me.

No artist directly influences my work; I find inspiration during hikes in nature, though I deeply admire the work of other jewelers.

If you could be reincarnated as a flower, which one would you choose and why?

That’s a difficult question, because I love flowers so much!
I am fascinated by roses, and I dream of having a garden filled with many different varieties.

The forget-me-not flower has also deeply inspired me. As a teenager, I used to see it growing near a stream I often visited. It loves shade and cool climates, an environment that feels very much like me. I love its delicate shape and luminous blue color, and I find its name truly touching.

And then there are lilacs, which were my favorite flowers as a child, their scent is absolutely wonderful.

If I had to choose just one flower, I would probably be arose, because I truly adore them.

How do you think art can impact society or people’s lives?

How does your own work fit into this larger context?

When I read this question, I think about the place jewelry holds within families: the meaning of a wedding ring, an engagement ring, or a pendant given to a daughter for her 18th birthday.
I also think of friends exchanging bracelets.

It’s a beautiful gesture of love, and love is one of my core values. The idea of offering a precious piece of jewelry, a symbol of beauty and attachment, inspires me deeply.
The art of jewelry-making has always had an important place in our lives and traditions; it is a tangible expression of love. To offer a piece of jewelry is to offer a bit of oneself, an emotion, and a touch of beauty.

How do you deal with times when you feel stuck or frustrated in your work?

Do you have any strategies for overcoming these obstacles?

For me, jewelry-making is not a race. It’s a hobby and a passion that nourishes me and has simply grown over time.
When things are quieter, I focus on my bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture, but we always remain passionate and ready for new orders.
When things get busier, I complete each order according to priority, calmly and with pleasure. Jewelry-making never causes me stress, quite the opposite, it soothes me. And if the workload ever becomes challenging, I’m lucky to have a supportive team to help me.

If you could meet one person from history, who would it be and why?

That’s a wonderful question. There are many inspiring people in history, but in relation to jewelry, I would choose to meet the founders of Van Cleef & Arpels, to discuss their vision and relationship with nature.

And also Tchaikovsky. Because when I hear his music, especially The Nutcracker, it brings tears to my eyes. It’s so incredibly beautiful! He must have been a remarkable person.

Is there a movie you could watch on repeat and never tire of?

I’ve seen many movies, and I love so many of them! But nowadays, I prefer to focus on my own life and journey, on creating something beautiful and lasting.
That said, I realize there’s one movie I never grew tired of: 50 First Dates, with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.

I love the tenderness of the story and how the main character makes the woman he loves fall in love with him again every day, despite her memory loss. I find that profoundly touching.

What is your favorite museum (worldwide)?

I haven’t visited all the museums, but among those I have, the Louvre Museum in Paris left a deep impression on me.

I was dazzled by its beauty, the grandeur of the works, and all that humanity has managed to create. The experience reminded me that humans are capable of great beauty and kindness. It was more than magnificent and it was a true lesson in admiration and wonder.
