The Founder

ABOUT

THE FOUNDER

In 2005, Anna-Mieke had the vision to create a conflict-free diamond and has led the evolution of the lab-created diamond industry ever since.

Anna-Mieke Anderson (pronounced AnnaMeeka), is the Founder and active CEO of MiaDonna & Company.

MiaDonna & Company (named after the founder's daughter Mia and mother Donna) was established in 2005 in Portland, Oregon.

The company was born out of Anna-Mieke’s desire to put a modern twist and feminine touch on an industry heavily dominated by men and unethical standards. Fueled by a mother's passion for helping children, Anna-Mieke has built a globally admired eco-friendly jewelry company that continues to push boundaries to create a socially responsible diamond industry.

When Anna-Mieke learned the truth behind the origin of her earth-mined diamond, she became passionate about finding a conflict-free option and soon learned that the only true diamond free of any conflict was going to be man-made. Anna-Mieke has since dedicated her life to creating diamonds in a lab environment that are superior to earth-mined diamonds in every way while helping children caught in the middle of the unethical harvesting of diamonds.

Start with Sketch

When we have the customized order, we start the process with the sketch, this is the first and foremost step to the journey of making the jewelry.

3D CAD Designing

Convert the sketch into the graphical image with the proper measurements and 3D CAD gives us the exact idea of how the jewelry will look when completed.

WAX Model

Converting the CAD into the wax model, minor settings are done here. Wax has to be precise and healthy for the best quality of the casting.

Casting

Once the wax model is ready a casting tree of several such wax models is made and then the casting is done. A quality check is done before setting the stones to avoid any defects in the jewelry here.

Setting & Polishing

Setting and polishing of the jewelry is the last step toward the journey of jewelry manufacturing. It takes several human hours to precisely polish and set the stones which will hold the stones a lifetime.
