About
Minka Jewels
Minka Jewels is a London-based jewellery business specialising in quality, heirloom pieces, founded by British gemmologist Lucy Crowther in 2016. Synonymous with colourful gemstone jewellery, Minka’s focus is on making fuss-free designs with simple clean lines, modern settings and a good amount of gold. Every piece is designed by Lucy and made by highly skilled master craftsmen in the UK, using only the highest quality materials and jewellery-making methods.
Meet Lucy
A trained gemstone dealer and gemmologist from the Gemmological Institute of Great Britain (Gem-A), Lucy is an expert in hand picking the very best gemstones from all over the World. Sourcing striking stones that are unmatched in their cut, colour and clarity, Lucy is known for translating inspired ideas into one-of-a-kind, wearable designs that are both bold and beautiful. When creating both her signature pieces, and bespoke commissions, Lucy ensures that every design is led by the stone itself.
Lucy’s love for colour stems from her early career at the globally renowned Gem Palace in Jaipur, where she discovered her true love for gemstone jewellery.
Our Collections
Each collection takes inspiration from Lucy’s travels and the beauty of the natural world, whether that be the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean sea, the changing seasons of Les Trois Vallées or Berlin’s jewel-like sparkle at night. Each piece tells a tale and truly emulates the beauty and meaning behind its design.
Bespoke
Offering modern twists on easy-to-wear, bold shapes, Minka not only creates its signature pieces, but also provides a bespoke service for those looking to be a part of the design process. If you’re looking to reset inherited stones or rework existing jewels, commission an alternative engagement ring, or source a stone that you feel particularly drawn to, our bespoke service is the perfect option. The process is entirely collaborative and wonderfully personal, with Lucy’s love for sourcing exquisite stones at the forefront of the design process.
