Incorporated in 1978 in Lebanon, New Hampshire, Inga Enamels inc was a family business founded by Evelyn M. Carlson and her husband Stanley P. Carlson. Soon their son, Paul William Carlson April (7, 1952 – May 22, 2023) after graduating from college in Massachusetts joined the family business. He was initially responsible for polishing, finishing and logistics, and soon became president of the company. His wife Cheryl Carlson also worked for the company.
However, Evelyn and Stanley Carlson began creating unique jewelry labeled Inga back in the 1950s in Massachusetts. Their companies, Crafts by Inga and Inga Inc, created handmade jewelry from copper and enamel and sold it throughout the country, participating in art exhibitions and fairs.
The markings of jewelry created by three generations of the Carlson family invariably included the word Inga. Inga Enamels inc ceased to exist in 2015.
