The creative force behind in2 design, Swedish-American designers Inger Mark and Inga "Louise" Baldwin, have been designing unique, hand-crafted jewelry together since they met in the U.S. in 2002. Both born and raised in Sweden, the pair draws inspiration from the simplicity and modern elegance of Swedish design, with an eye to the American woman. Inger and Louise thrive as a design team, with each partner bringing to the table a different but complimentary approach to jewelry. The in2 philosophy is that high quality hand-made jewelry should also be fun and affordable. Using only the best quality hand-selected freshwater pearls, precious metals and semi-precious stones, as well as unexpected materials such as suede, leather, or silk cord, in2 designs has created a line of jewelry that is at once modern and classic, unique and yet highly wearable. Based in Connecticut, in2 design jewelry is carried in boutiques, catalogues, and resorts in the United States, as well as the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia.
