Beauty Bosses

Out Of The Clouds

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”.Follow Nina on Instagram @ninarunsdorfjewelry

Nina Runsdorf talks Fine Jewelry, the Flip Ring, and Today's Definition of Luxury

In this episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Muhlethaler interviews the highly creative fine jeweler Nina Runsdorf. The two know each other well, having first been introduced by a mutual friend in 2011, and are currently working together on developing Nina's business.   The super chic designer, who has been at the head of her eponymous brand for a little over 15 years, talks first about her roots in family and design. She has essentially been making jewellery throughout her life, first starting at her parent's upstate farm in New York age 11, then in college with a friend, before launching Niana, a small brand with her sister Ann, with the mild support of their grandmother and the rest of the family.  After a few years working in retail, then as accessories director and then fashion director, Nina landed in jewelry again, this time in the diamond business. One thing led to another and her own brand was born. In this interview, the fiercely passionate New York native extols the virtues of being true to herself, how lucky she was to be taught by her mother about the importance of searching for treasures in unlikely places and why her jewellery is never too precious to wear - to be worn with a white t-shirt and jeans or with a ballgown.  Nina's vibrant and artistic approach extends to her relationship to her clients and her atelier on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. She knows what her clients want, because, as she explains, she is her own client! Nina also candidly shares about the challenge of losing her husband and the support she got from friends and family, in bringing up her two daughters Alexa and Kate, while running a brand-new business. Anne and Nina end up as always on Out of the Clouds, discussing what brings happiness. A moving,light and wide-ranging conversation.    ***   Show notes:  Find Nina at Ninarunsdorf.com or on Instagram @NinaRunsdorfJewelry Or Facebook @NinaRunsdorf Nina Runsdorf signature Flip Ring  Ralph Lauren Rhinelander Mickey Drexler Stanley Korshak in Dallas  Sliced Diamonds Nina Runsdorf Phoenix Collection of Slice Diamonds with enamel  Tucson Gem show Couture Jewelry Show in Las Vegas Nina's article in WWD about pioneering Sliced diamonds and coloured slice Net-a-porter.com Matchesfashion.com Just One Eye in Los Angeles Serenella Nina Runsdorf on collecting in the Financial Times Nina's closet shot by the Coveteur Breguet, Swiss watches  Sarah Hughes Nina's interview in Forbes about travel Nina Runsdorf All That Is Collection Salvatore Ferragamo, the biography  The Cartier book   *** If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, it helps people find us and  also helps to secure future guests.
