Jewelry Box Through Time: Moments Marked in Diamonds
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:
-
“A Lifetime in Diamonds And the Moments That Matter Most”
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.

A New Chapter, A New Sparkle: Why Empty Nest Season is the Perfect Time for Diamond Jewelry
There comes a quiet after the whirlwind, the house feels still, the pace slows, and for the first time in years, you have space to exhale. This is what they call the empty nest, but I’ve never liked that phrase. Because this chapter isn’t about what’s missing. It’s about what’s possible.
You’ve poured your love, your energy, your heart into raising and nurturing. And now, as your children soar, it’s time to return some of that love inward.
Maybe that looks like a quiet trip. A new project. Or it’s a piece of diamond jewelry from Mina D Fine Jewelry. Not to mark the absence of something, but to honor the presence of you. Your strength, your story, your beautiful spark.
A diamond doesn’t ask permission to shine. Neither should you.
At Mina D Fine Jewelry, we believe every life milestone deserves to be celebrated, especially the ones that mark growth, strength, and transformation. If you're in your empty nest season, there's no better time to commemorate your journey with a meaningful piece of diamond jewelry.

From One Woman to Another
A woman jeweler who understands what a woman wants.
There’s an unspoken language between women. It’s in the knowing glance, the shared intuition, the way we read a room—and each other. As a woman, a designer, and a New Yorker, I create with this understanding at my core.
Jewelry is more than adornment. It’s memory. It’s ambition. It’s the story we tell without saying a word. The way a diamond catches light when you raise your glass, the cool weight of gold against your skin, the feeling of slipping on a piece that feels like it was made just for you—because it was.
MINA D Fine Jewelry was born from this truth. I design for the woman who leads, who feels deeply, who has nothing to prove and everything to express. She’s not dressing for attention—she’s dressing for herself. Quiet power. Unmistakable elegance. And a signature style that’s all her own.
Each piece is designed with intention and made with reverence—for craftsmanship, for heritage, and most of all, for her. Whether she’s commanding a boardroom, celebrating a milestone, or simply elevating the everyday—this jewelry meets her where she is, and reflects where she’s going.

Embrace the Shift: Diamonds, Cashmere, and the Perfect Seasonal Style
As the seasons change and spring begins to make its way in, there's one thing that remains timeless—diamonds. While the chill may still be in the air, you don’t have to sacrifice elegance for warmth. Whether you're transitioning from winter black to soft, cozy cashmere in spring hues, there's always a way to shine bright.
At Mina D Fine Jewelry, we believe that diamond jewelry is the perfect accessory for any season. The versatility of a beautiful diamond necklace can elevate any outfit, whether you're layering up for a cooler spring day or adding a touch of elegance to your favorite black sweater. The combination of cozy, luxurious sweaters and sparkling diamonds creates a look that's both timeless and sophisticated.
Spring Is Here, But the Chill Remains
As the flowers begin to bloom, we still experience those crisp mornings and cool evenings. This time of year calls for the perfect balance—something warm yet stylish. A soft cashmere sweater in pastel hues or neutral shades is a spring wardrobe essential, and adding a statement diamond necklace will transform your look, giving it that touch of glamour.
On the other hand, classic black sweaters remain a staple in every wardrobe, offering sleek elegance with minimal effort. Pairing a diamond necklace with a black sweater creates a look that's both chic and sophisticated, perfect for those lingering cool days before the warmth of full spring settles in.
Diamonds: A Timeless Statement
When the season shifts, your style doesn’t have to. Whether you're embracing the soft hues of spring cashmere or the timeless sophistication of a winter black sweater, diamonds shine through every season. The beauty of fine jewelry is that it always has a way of elevating your look. A well-chosen diamond piece can bring attention to your neckline, add sparkle to your skin, and complement whatever you choose to wear—whether you're heading to a brunch or a special event.

A Cozy and Inspiring Evening with Turnkey Women: A Memorable Networking Event
Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a wonderful networking event hosted by Turnkey Women, a vibrant and inspiring community of women entrepreneurs and business owners. The event, held at a beautiful Ekatarina Vachino photography studio in Wall, New Jersey. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of energy—despite the frigid temperatures outside!
As I stepped into the studio, the chill of the New Jersey winter seemed to melt away. The cozy, intimate space was the perfect setting for a night of connection, collaboration, and creativity. The lighting was soft, the space filled with chatter, and everyone was eager to mingle, share ideas, and build lasting relationships.
It was so wonderful to reconnect with women I’ve met before, as well as meet new faces. The room was filled with inspiring, like-minded women, each sharing their unique journey. I was especially grateful to have the chance to catch up with the amazing founders of Turnkey Women, Shannon and Stacy, who always create such beautiful events that foster genuine connections and collaboration. Their dedication to supporting women in business is truly inspiring.
One of the highlights of the evening was the branding headshot sessions available to all attendees. It’s not every day that you get the chance to update your professional image with a personalized photo shoot, and it was such a great opportunity to refresh our online presence while supporting each other in our respective businesses. The energy in the room was electric as women lined up to capture their best shots, knowing that these images would be a lasting testament to their entrepreneurial journey.
