There’s something undeniably captivating about a ruby. With its deep crimson hue and timeless elegance, this gemstone has long symbolized passion, power, and protection. As the official birthstone of July, rubies are more than just beautiful they’re storied, symbolic, and steeped in royal history.

At Mina D Jewelry, we celebrate this extraordinary gem with designs that elevate its natural intensity pairing rubies with brilliant diamonds to create unforgettable pieces for those born to stand out.

The History of Rubies

Rubies are among the oldest and most revered gemstones in the world. The name “ruby” comes from the Latin ruber, meaning red, and they’ve been treasured for thousands of years. In ancient India, rubies were known as the "ratnaraj," or “king of precious stones.” Warriors believed rubies granted them invincibility, while royalty saw them as a symbol of power, vitality, and divine protection.

I began my journey in the diamond industry at 18, immersed in a world of brilliance, precision, and legacy.

Over the next 30 years, I worked alongside GIA specialists, diamond cutters, private clients, prominent jewelry houses as Cartier and Harry Winston. Gaining a full-spectrum understanding of diamonds from origin to heirloom.

When I founded Mina D Fine Jewelry, I brought that experience into every design creating not just jewelry, but pieces meant to mark time.

Let me introduce you to the Jewelry Box Through Time a capsule of life’s most meaningful chapters:

At 18, I stepped into the diamond world, wide-eyed and eager to learn.

Thirty years later, that curiosity has become a legacy.

 I’ve journeyed through every facet of the industry: from working with GIA, to collaborating with master diamond cutters, to managing the intricate financial side of the trade.

I’ve been privileged to witness the raw beauty of a stone, long before it becomes part of someone’s story.

Now, as a designer, I bring this experience into every piece I create, because I know jewelry isn’t just about beauty. It’s about moments.

From the very first engagement ring that begins a new chapter.
