Dina has always had a love of natural stones, amassing quite a collection of geodes and minerals at a youngage. She began as a designer working with all natural semi-precious stones in solid 18k gold and sterling silver only but began working in vermeil after the price of gold became untouchable. She decided to use the same high quality stones in a metal that would allow more people to wear her designs. Hers is a fine jewelry look without the price.
