Jewelry is more than just metal and gemstones, it’s a story, a memory, and a legacy. Few understand this better than Myranda, the visionary behind Myranda Fine Jewelry. Her journey from a childhood filled with adversity to becoming one of the most sought-after jewelers in Arizona and worldwide is nothing short of inspiring. It’s a tale of resilience, passion, and a deep love for craftsmanship.
Let’s take a walk-through Myranda’s journey, from selling candy on the streets as a child to building a jewelry empire that’s redefining the industry today.
A Sparkling Beginning: The Childhood That Shaped a Dream
For Myranda, the love for jewelry began at an early age. Growing up, she faced significant challenges, moving 18 times, sometimes living in a car, and relying on food boxes from charitable organizations. Amidst all the chaos, one place felt like home: her grandmother’s house.
Her grandmother had an incredible collection of vintage jewelry from the 1920s. Almost every weekend, Myranda and her sister would visit, turning playtime into a make-believe jewelry store. Her sister, Monica, played the role of the banker and teacher, and Myranda? The jeweler.
She was obsessed with vintage pieces, often sewing beads onto clothes and making jewelry out of marbles. At just 12 years old, she had two businesses selling candy on street corners and selling her first gold chain. Even at that age, she knew this was more than just a hobby, it was her calling.
By the time she was in 8th grade, she was riding her bike 45 minutes to school and dreaming big. She wrote a book about iconic jewelry mentors like Tiffany & Co., Harry Winston, and Van Cleef & Arpels. She was determined to become Arizona’s best jeweler, a dream she never let go of. Why, because sparkle made her happy.
Myranda Steps into the Jewelry World: A Journey of Learning and Growth
Myranda’s entry into the professional jewelry world didn’t come through formal training but through hands-on experience. She started in estate jewelry, helping people sell inherited or pre- owned jewelry. She quickly realized that she had a natural ability to understand value, connect with customers, and turn old pieces into something new and beautiful, or into cash.
She also spent years sketching designs, learning from mentors, and refining her skills. The real turning point came when someone asked her, “When are you going to open your own business?” That question lit a fire in her. She had learned from some of the best, and she had a vision: to make fine jewelry accessible without compromising quality.
In an industry largely dominated by men, Myranda was determined to bring a new approach, one fueled by passion, attention to detail, and genuine customer care.
Taking the Leap: The Birth of Myranda Fine Jewelry
In 2024, Myranda took a leap of faith and decided to launch her own business.
“I jumped off a cliff with no parachute,” she recalls.
For many, leaving a business partnership to start from scratch would have been terrifying. For Myranda, it was an opportunity. She opened her doors in a small 300-square-foot space, unsure of what would happen. Then, within the first hour, 22 cars lined up outside her shop. Her clients didn’t just follow her; they believed in her and her team. 90% of them stayed with her, proving that her reputation, skill, and heart were what kept people coming back.
With no loans and sheer determination, Myranda Fine Jewelry was born.

Myranda’s success isn’t just about her incredible designs, it’s about the values and experience she brings to every piece. Here’s what sets her apart:

Whether a customer is buying a $500 pendant or a $50,000 custom ring, Myranda and her team’s enthusiasm and attention to detail never waver. “We’re the jeweler for everyone,” she says. “It’s not about the price tag; it’s about the passion we put into each piece.”

4. A Creative and Collaborative Process
Every piece starts with an idea, sometimes from a Pinterest board, a sketch, or even a cheeseburger (yes, really!). Her team holds design meetings four times a week, making sure each creation is unique and meaningful.
5. Giving Back
Myranda’s journey hasn’t just been about building a business, it’s about giving back to the community that supported her. From charity donations to mentoring others in the industry, she believes in lifting others up.
Memorable Creations: The Stories Behind the Jewelry
One of Myranda’s most treasured creations is her Chunky Monkey Collection. It’s a design that transforms old, sentimental diamonds into stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Then, there’s “The Duchess,” a 12-layer custom engagement ring featuring a rare $50,000 pink sapphire. The client had interviewed five jewelers before choosing Myranda. The result? A masterpiece that left the bride-to-be in awe.
These aren’t just accessories, they’re deeply personal pieces that tell a story.

Myranda has no plans of slowing down. Her next big ventures include:
- A Signature Wedding Line: Exclusive, one-of-a-kind engagement and anniversary pieces
