Star Tribune: Stephanie Lake Named Best Jewelry Designer

Best jewelry designer - Stephanie Lake

2014 Best of MN

Friday May 16, 2014

Stephanie Lake has traveled the world and has the jewels to prove it. The Minnetonka designer’s global accumulation of baubles breathes new life into unusual — sometimes sinister — custom creations. From antique earrings rescued from the Hopkins Antique Mall, to precious gemstones gathered in Istanbul, Lake combines pieces from across the centuries for a timeless aesthetic. Lake is a Ph.D. scholar, curator, archivist and interior designer whose work has appeared in the New York Times and more. Pair her designs with a gown or a T-shirt and jeans, because Lake says you don’t need a special occasion to wear something special.http://www.stephanielakedesign.com
