Last night, the fashion world converged at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2025 Met Gala, embracing the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” This year's gala honored the rich history and influence of Black dandyism, celebrating the artistry and cultural significance of tailored fashion.

As a native New Yorker these iconic places captivated by the Met Gala are more then just what is in the media, for me they are my usual New York spots. The Mark Hotel is one of my favorites go to bars for drinks with the ladies. The Met Museum a normal to walk by and stand in front to check my phone when I am on the UES.

Despite the evening's rain, the red carpet was ablaze with creativity and elegance. Here are some standout moments that captivated us:

• Demi Moore captivated onlookers in a striking black-and-white off-the-shoulder gown by Thom Browne, designed to resemble an oversized necktie. She complemented the look with silver drop earrings and matching bangles, styled her hair in an elegant bun, and sported a smoky eye makeup look.

• Adrien Brody made a statement with a gothic-inspired ensemble, accessorized with an oversized brooch by Elsa Jin, adding a touch of avant-garde flair to his look.

• Pharrell Williams, a co-chair of the event, embraced the theme with a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble adorned with 100,000 pearls, reflecting his personal interpretation of dandyism and intentional style.

• Miley Cyrus turned heads in a risqué fishnet gown by Marc Jacobs, paired with a short, spiked hairstyle that added an edgy twist to her look.

• Anne Hathaway exuded elegance in a Carolina Herrera ensemble featuring a crisp white dress shirt with an exaggerated collar and a beaded maxi skirt. She accessorized with a massive diamond necklace centered with a rectangular sapphire from Bulgari.

• La La Anthony paid homage to her late friend Virgil Abloh by wearing an archival Off-White design from the Fall 2020 collection, celebrating his visionary contributions to fashion.

Everyone has that one relative who's "in the diamond business" — you know the type.
Well, for you, I’m that relative.

Only I’m not some distant uncle or a random cousin you barely know.
I’m your sisterhood, your girl, your ride-or-die in the world of fine jewelry. 💎✨

I’m that girl.
The one who listens when you need to vent.
The one who doesn’t judge when you share your wildest dreams (or biggest mistakes).
The one who gives you real advice — not sugar-coated, not salesy — just truth with love.
The one who’s been there, done that — from the travel adventures to the life lessons, the daring decisions to the moments that shaped me.

I’m the big sister you didn’t even know you were missing — but now you’ll never want to be without.

And I come with something extra special:
The inside scoop on all things diamonds.

Not just what you can Google.
Not just what you’ll hear at a jewelry counter.
I'm talking real-deal knowledge — the kind you only get from someone who lives and breathes this world.

I’m your bestie — only better.
Because I bring the sparkle.
Literally.

At Mina D Fine Jewelry, it’s not just about beautiful pieces (although, yes, they are stunning).
It’s about trust. Connection. Sisterhood.
It’s about knowing you have someone who genuinely cares about helping you shine — inside and out.

A night out at the Women's Club of Red Bank with Turnkey Women.

An enjoyable evening of networking with fellow women, professionals, entrepreneurs and likeminded women, who support each other and show up for each other.

The night was filled with laughter, light bites, mocktails and cocktails. There was also an option of getting your birth chart reading done. 

We had a demonstration of both the cocktail and the mocktail, the cocktail by the fabulous Lauren Farrell of Joocy Tits Vodka. Joocy Tits premium vodka is made in Florida and with each bottle purchased it donates to Breast Cancer Charities. The delicious refreshing cocktail we all got to make with our own mixing station was with Joocytits premium vodka, cucumber water and a kick of pineapple juice for some sweetness.

The mocktail was demonstrated by Anne Dubon of Arbonne and we used a healthy fizz stick in a yummy pear flavor. Talking about wellness and the energy boost that this natural coffee alternative gives you.

Silvi boards and Dreamtastic Parties had delightful light bites and beautiful table scape done. 

Sun Flour cookies was there with Turnkey Women Logo cookies which are not only beautiful but delicious. 

Our gracious Turnkey Women founders Stacy and Shannon kept the vibe going and kept the prosecco flowing. 

What a fabulous night to kick off Spring.

I remember the first time I saw a Blue Diamond, It was about three carats and it was Cushion Shape Diamond. I had been in the Diamond Industry for several years already and had seen beautiful important large diamonds. I had even seen Fancy Intense Yellow Diamonds over 10 carats. But there was something about that Blue Diamond. You can say it is because I love Blue and anyone who knows me, knows that. From my signature Blue Topaz Cocktail Ring that I have been wearing almost daily for many years, or my Blue summer wardrobe, blue is soothing, appealing and is still somewhat of a neutral.

Th gorgeous diamond and Sapphire Jewelry we offer and the summer hues of the Blue Topaz and Diamond Jewelry.

This stunning Blue Diamond also known as the Golconda Blue Diamond boasts  23.24  carats, as a diamond connoisseur there is no way I could give up not sharing this exquisite diamond ring. 

The Golconda Blue is a 23.24-carat, pear-shaped, fancy vivid blue diamond that's making headlines due to its historic provenance and upcoming auction. It's estimated to sell for between $35 million and $50 million, potentially becoming the most expensive diamond ever sold at auction. 

Here's a more detailed look at the Golconda Blue:

💎 Lab Diamonds: Beauty Meets Innovation

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and visually identical to mined diamonds—but created in highly controlled environments with a significantly smaller environmental footprint. These stones offer a brilliant alternative for those who seek sustainability without compromising on elegance or sparkle.

At Mina D, our lab diamonds are carefully selected for their clarity, cut, and brilliance—perfect for the modern, mindful collector.

⛰️ Natural Diamonds: Timeless Treasures, Ethically Sourced

For those drawn to the unique history and natural wonder of mined diamonds, we offer ethically sourced natural stones from trusted partners who adhere to responsible mining practices. Every diamond is conflict-free and certified through the Kimberley Process or other rigorous industry standards to ensure it aligns with our values of sustainability, human rights, and environmental care.

As spring breathes new life into the world around us, there’s no better time to celebrate love and new beginnings. Easter, a season of hope and renewal, perfectly aligns with the sparkling promise of diamonds. Whether you're marking a special occasion or looking for the perfect gift, Mina D Fine Jewelry brings you luxurious pieces that capture the spirit of this beautiful time of year.

A Blooming Season for Love

The soft pastel hues and blooming flowers of spring create a romantic backdrop for unforgettable moments. Just like the season itself, love flourishes during this time. Imagine a proposal surrounded by the colors of nature—blush pink roses, soft lavender, and the gentle glow of fresh blooms. It’s the perfect setting for a proposal, and our jewelry is here to elevate your moment.

This Easter, we invite you to embrace the beauty of the season with our collection of fine jewelry, designed to shine as brightly as your love. Our engagement rings and delicate earrings are a timeless choice for anyone seeking to mark an unforgettable occasion with elegance and grace.

This engagement ring is a symbol of timeless love, set in a design that brings together classic beauty with modern elegance. Whether you're proposing this season or adding to your jewelry collection, pieces like these are the perfect choice for capturing the essence of spring.

Why Easter and Spring Make the Perfect Time for Proposals

Spring is all about renewal and fresh beginnings, making it an ideal time for proposals. The world is blossoming, the days are longer, and the warmth in the air makes everything feel just right for starting a new chapter. Easter, with its symbolic connection to new life, love, and rebirth, adds an extra layer of meaning to your proposal.

At Mina D Fine Jewelry, we craft our rings to ensure that every piece is more than just jewelry—it’s a story waiting to be told, a future waiting to be embraced.

Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, Easter, or simply because you want to make someone smile, our diamond earrings reflect the spirit of spring—delicate, radiant, and full of love.

As spring blossoms into full bloom, we find ourselves surrounded by symbols of renewal and fresh beginnings. The season marks two important holidays: Easter and Passover, both of which represent rebirth, reflection, and hope. Whether you're celebrating Easter's message of resurrection or Passover’s celebration of freedom, there's no better time to give or receive a gift that symbolizes enduring love and timeless beauty. Enter diamond jewelry — a perfect way to commemorate this meaningful season.

Easter and Passover: Seasons of Renewal and Rebirth

Both Easter and Passover fall during the spring, a time when nature comes alive with vibrant colors, fragrant flowers, and longer days. These holidays signify renewal — Easter celebrates the resurrection of Christ, a promise of new beginnings, while Passover marks the liberation of the Israelites from Egypt, an enduring symbol of freedom and hope. It’s a time of transformation, and what better way to mark such a momentous occasion than with something eternal and beautiful: a diamond.

Diamonds: The Perfect Symbol for Spring, Easter, and Passover

Diamonds are the ultimate symbol of eternal love, much like the spirit of renewal that both Easter and Passover embody. These precious stones are formed under immense pressure over millions of years, making them a true testament to strength and resilience. In many cultures, diamonds are seen as symbols of purity, clarity, and unbreakable bonds — making them the perfect gift to celebrate the hope, freedom, and love that spring and these holidays bring.

Easter marks the arrival of spring, a time of renewal, fresh beginnings, and the celebration of new life. What better way to honor this season than with a gift that symbolizes the eternal nature of love? Diamonds have long been revered for their timeless beauty and significance, making them the perfect gift for Easter. At Mina D Fine Jewelry, we offer an exquisite collection of diamond jewelry that beautifully represents these themes. Whether you're celebrating a special milestone or simply wish to express your affection, diamond jewelry from Mina D Fine Jewelry offers a meaningful way to celebrate the season.

Why Easter and Diamonds Are a Perfect Match:
Easter is not only about the arrival of spring but also the concept of renewal and rebirth. Similarly, diamonds symbolize endurance, eternal love, and timeless beauty. The connection between these themes makes Easter an ideal time to give a gift that will last a lifetime—just as the love it represents. At Mina D Fine Jewelry, we understand the power of diamonds to capture and reflect the beauty of new beginnings.
