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.

Recent high-profile jewelry auctions have once again proven the enduring value of couture gemstone design. At Christie’s Fine Jewelry Auction, a magnificent sapphire bead necklace sold for over $1 million, while Cartier’s emerald bead necklace captured international attention. Exquisite diamond jewelry also achieved multi-million-dollar bids, affirming what collectors and connoisseurs already know beaded necklaces and luxury diamond jewelry are defining modern sophistication.

At Mina D Fine Jewelry, we create pieces that embody this same level of distinction. Our couture collection features handcrafted semi-precious bead jewelry, using richly saturated gemstones such as garnet necklaces, iolite jewelry, amazonite strands, jade bead necklaces, and chalcedony designs. Each gemstone is carefully chosen for color, luster, and quality, ensuring every piece is unique, collectible, and timeless.

In addition to our vibrant gemstone creations, Mina D offers an exceptional selection of fine diamond jewelry including diamond tennis bracelets, custom diamond pendants, and bespoke engagement-worthy designs. Inspired by the elegance of auction-level diamond pieces, our jewelry combines master craftsmanship with the luxury feel of high-end estate jewelry. These are modern heirlooms, created for those who invest in beauty that endures.

Gemstone bead jewelry and designer diamond pieces are no longer just trends,they represent a new era of luxury jewelry design. Whether you’re looking for the ethereal glow of blue chalcedony, the bold depth of garnet, or the brilliance of conflict-free diamonds, Mina D Fine Jewelry offers refined alternatives to high-profile auction pieces, with a personal and contemporary twist.

Experience comes with stories with moments in time, with knowledge and what better way to share then with storytelling and education.

Designer Mina Deutsch brings a stealthy history of diamond knowledge and experience from every aspect in the diamond industry. From working in the finance division to working with high end, high net worth clients.

Yet with all the knowledge and history in the industry, she embraces technology and innovation, not stuck on the old-world philosophy but using it to emerge and strengthen in todays market. 

This Father’s Day, gift him something as enduring as his influence.

The Mina D Men’s Collection is a tribute to fatherhood in all its forms.

Steadfast, strong, and quietly remarkable. These are pieces he won’t just wear; they’ll become part of his legacy.

From diamond-accented bracelets to timeless pendants, each design balances strength with subtlety. Whether he’s a new dad, a guiding mentor, or the father figure who’s shaped your life, honor him with a gift that says everything without needing a single word.

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.

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.

At Mina D Fine Jewelry, Earth Day is more than just a date on the calendar—it's a daily reminder of our commitment to beauty with integrity.

As a fine jewelry brand dedicated to craftsmanship, quality, and conscious luxury, we believe that stunning pieces shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. That’s why we proudly offer both lab-grown and natural diamonds, sourced with transparency and responsibility at the core of everything we do.

💎 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 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.

As we celebrate the joyous holiday of Purim, we are reminded of the incredible story of Queen Esther, a woman of strength, courage, and grace. Her story is one of triumph and resilience, symbolizing how inner beauty, wisdom, and bravery can shine brightly, even in the face of adversity. Queen Esther’s regal essence is the perfect inspiration for the timeless, elegant pieces at Mina D Fine Jewelry.

Regality in Every Piece

Much like Queen Esther’s royal status, every piece from Mina D Fine Jewelry is crafted with the utmost attention to detail, elegance, and sophistication. We believe that jewelry is not just an accessory but a reflection of your unique story and the strength you carry within. Whether you’re looking for a dazzling diamond engagement ring, a statement necklace, or a custom design, our pieces are designed to evoke a sense of regal beauty and timeless charm.

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.
