About

Monark jewelry studio is a small batch jewelry and homewares brand inspired by the combination of sophisticated minimalism and soft femininity.    My name is Marlo Coulson, Iam a Vancouver Island artisan jeweler evolving in my craft.  I love to work in quality  gold fill and sterling silver metals.  I studied metal arts at North Island College.  

 

 

 

 

I have been a 'maker & creator for as long as I can remember, dabbling in different art forms, finding my place in jewelry.  The best part of being a jeweler is the lifelong learning involved, the assortment of techniques, I thrive in a state of flux. 

2010-2014  My 'side hustle' business name was 'The Naked Squirrel'  I began selling at markets, screen-printed tanks & assembled jewelry.  

2015-2016   I attended North Island College Metal Arts program and had truly fallen in love with the meditative jewelry making process.

2016-2019 I balance working as an acute care nurse with making jewelry, luckily these days more time is spent in my beloved studio, than on the nursing floor!

2019 I opened a cute little storefront in Downtown Courtenay.

2020  HOLY SMOKES!  Storefront closed.

2023  Ready for jewelry making again, with a focus on jewelry with meaning & intention:)
