Diana M. 14kt white gold drop earrings featuring 1.00 cts tw of round diamonds

Located in New York City, esteemed fine jewelry house Diana M. Jewels was established in 1981 by Diana Musheev. A third-generation jewelry designer born in Riga, Latvia, Musheev is widely known for her exquisite earrings, engagement rings and necklaces that feature precious sapphires, emeralds and white or colored diamonds as well as the incredibly rare Paraiba tourmalines. The latter come from deep in the copper-rich mountains of Paraiba, Brazil, and are treasured as much for their extraordinary color as their scarcity.

Musheev, a GIA-certified gemologist and graduate of the Moscow School of Design, has been designing jewelry since she was 16. 

At an early age, Musheev had already mastered the ability to envision how she might create adornments that would best accentuate a precious or semi-precious stone’s natural characteristics and create a flattering dynamic between the jewelry and the wearer. The designer inherited this gift from her mother and grandmother, who created custom jewels for the European elite. Musheev says her jewelry transforms those who wear it and proudly states that ”some women fear the fire and some women become it.” 

Some of the most prestigious names in retail, such as Neiman Marcus and Saks, carry Diana M. Jewels collections. Musheev’s noteworthy clients have included Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, Tina Knowles (mother of award-winning pop star Beyoncé) and music producer and former Columbia Records president Clive Davis.
