Helen Minor Jewelry is a fine jewelry studio based in Austin, Texas, specializing in custom engagement rings and heirloom-quality jewelry. Founded by designer and master jeweler Helen Minor, the studio blends refined design with meticulous, hands-on craftsmanship.
Trained in fine jewelry at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in Manhattan, Helen honed her expertise at Harry Winston on Fifth Avenue, working alongside some of the world’s most skilled bench jewelers. This foundation guides every piece she creates, with a focus on precision, timeless design, and lasting quality.
Each custom design begins with a one-on-one consultation to learn about your vision and dream piece. Helen works closely with each client throughout the entire process to thoughtfully refine every element of the piece. From deciding on materials to sourcing exceptional stones from around the world, she brings each work of art to life through meticulous fabrication in her studio. Every piece is crafted entirely by hand with exceptional attention to detail, resulting in fine jewelry that is deeply personal, intentionally designed, and meant to be worn, loved, and cherished for generations.
