Hello, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who is following Minka Jewels.
My name is Lucy, and I am the founder and designer of Minka. I started this company nearly 7 years ago while working as a stone trader in Hatton Garden, for one of the top coloured stone suppliers.
It is from there that my love for quality gemstones started, and I take pride in finding the best and most unique gemstones for our designs.
Prior to this, I trained as a gemmologist at the Gem-A and even earlier, I worked in India for an incredible jewellery house, where my passion for all things sparkly began and the creative juices started flowing.
It is truly an honour to work on designs for my clients, and we love teaching you about the stones as we go along. We have recently moved into our first studio space, and we are so excited to have a place where you can come and visit us, and try on our jewels.
Please book in a time to come see us, we would love to meet you if we have not already done so.
The most exquisite antique diamond 3ct ring, set in our signature Athena setting which makes it the perfect balance of statement yet understated - this is what we love most.

Old cut diamonds - we love to source beautiful old cuts, they have so much personality and look so unique, also the way the light bounces around in them is different - incredibly beautiful and totally unique.
