KARIN JACOBSON
In 2015, I launched the Karin Jacobson fine jewelry collection. These pieces were inspired by origami, using shapes cut out of flat metal which are then bent and folded to create big, three-dimensional forms. In working this way, I can make large scale pieces that are also lightweight and comfortable. For the largest pieces I use mostly oxidized sterling silver, with 18k gold accents and stone settings, and I also have smaller-scale pieces made entirely in 18k gold, along with ethically sourced natural gemstones and post-consumer recycled diamonds.
In the years since, I’ve continued to expand the collection, adding more all 18k gold pieces as well as a whole lot more gemstones – because, really – who doesn’t love more gemstones? I’ve also become licensed to use and sell Fairmined gold and have a new capsule collection in Fairmined 18k yellow gold and ethically sourced gemstones.
My work has won multiple awards including the American Jewelry Design Council's New Designer Award, three Instore awards, three MJSA design awards, one CPAA cultured pearl design award, and the Saul Bell Award.
I am so looking forward to showing off what’s new at Melee The Show in Tucson!
