Rox Minneapolis Heading to Excelsior
Trunk show scheduled for Wednesday with a wine and cheese reception from 5 to 9 p.m.
Robyne Robinson, the designer behind jewelry company Rox Minneapolis, will be at Omorphia in Excelsior for a trunk show of her latest collection this Wednesday.
Robinson, an award-winning Minneapolis news anchor and former art gallery owner, designs her own pieces, and has been creating jewelry since age 12.
Self-taught, she started Rox Minneapolis in 2003, and was discovered by Ralph Lauren’s CEO Frank Guzzetta, who appreciated Robinson’s artful use of pearls, metals, and exotic, semi-precious stones from countries she’d visited while traveling.
