Fine jewelry designer Nina Runsdorf joins me in my New York City office for this week’s episode of Beauty Bosses! Nina has had a passion for the industry since she was young, creating her first jewelry collection in the kitchen of her parent’s upstate farm when she was just twelve years old. After working in the fashion industry for several years, she decided to return to her first love, jewelry. She deepened her knowledge of gemstones working alongside her father-in-law at Runsdorf Associates in the heart of New York’s diamond district as well as becoming GIA certified. In 2005 she launched her first collection and immediately made a name for herself with her trademarked design, the Flip Ring. Nina sits down with me this week to discuss being a female in a male-dominated industry, and creating pieces that are “never too precious to wear”.
