Our Story

Hi! I'm Katie Tolzien - owner of Always Northern Permanent Jewelry. Currently, I live and base my business out of Roseville, MN where I live with my high school sweetheart, Tevin, our son, Miles, and our pup, Remi. For as long as I can remember, I've always loved to create. I am a nurse who left the field in 2021 after being burnt out and wanting to pursue my passions. I started my first small business, The Northern Peony, in 2020 making custom lasered goods. Sometime in early 2022 I found out about permanent jewelry. I fell in love with the dainty and personalized aspect of it and was really interested is starting my own permanent jewelry business. Well, one year later I finally gained the confidence to jump in! I absolutely love getting to do permanent jewelry and help other people by providing beautiful and timeless bonded jewelry pieces.
