super fun jewelry, super fantastic person
This morning I was reminded of just how fun spending money can be. In tight times, it is always a little tough to let go of the greenbacks, but when it stays local and goes to cool people, it feels kind of good. So it is in our process of acquiring the perfect engagement ring and wedding bands. If you don’t already have Karin Jacobson (aka superkarin.com) on your ‘keepin it local’ or ‘fantastic designer’ radar, I’d say you better tune your signal. Karin’s work can be seen all over the Twin Cities, and she has an awesome studio space in the Northrup King Building. Working with a variety of metals and gems, I imagine her day is filled with cool experiments and thoughts of designing the next playful line to add to her fun body of work. Her interest in working with lab grown gems and paladium struck an ethical chord with us, and her bold, bright, whimsical style of jewelry makes me want one of everything. We met with her two years ago to discuss my engagement ring, and we love it so much we’re going back for more. This morning we ventured to her studio to discuss a custom wedding band to complement my engagement ring. She defines play as a central theme in her work, and in meeting her again I was reminded that the idea of “play” isn’t just manifest in her creations, but in her approach to meeting with clients, designing her studio and personal style. It feels darn good to be able to work with someone who seems to find fun in the every day and does beautiful work!
