Meet Chris Wattsson - 2018 Art Week Featured Artist

Chris started working at Wattsson & Wattsson Jewelers in June 2001, the summer between his fifth and sixth grade year. Growing up, Chris spent countless hours at the store learning jewelry repair and design after school, on weekends and during summer vacation. Following graduation from the Marquette Alternative High School, Chris started working full time as a bench jeweler.

He is our custom jewelry designer and bench jeweler. He makes the Superior Line, our Upper Peninsula necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets. 

Chris is a licensed pyrotechnic and also works for Great Lakes Fireworks. He volunteers on the Marquette Fourth of July Celebration Committee.
