Mia Katrin's fashion forecast quoted in Texas Jewelers 2008 Tucson Show wrap up: "Hot Stuff!" by Diana Jarrett, GG, Texas Jewelers, Spring 2008
"Other artisans vigorously embraced the organic look as well. Couture jeweler Mia Katrin travels everywhere in search of gemstones worthy of her stylish brand. Katrin forecasts, 'The world is going green–both in metals and gems. In diamonds, colored diamonds, especially those in earth tones, and uncut diamonds fit in with the natural, organic look. Jewelry with a cause–where part of the proceeds are donated to charity, and ‘ethical’ jewelry–with an awareness of legitimate sources and means of production, including ‘green’ manufacturing, is in the forefront.'"

Mia Katrin for JEWEL COUTURE LLC featured in Rapaport Report:"The Queen of Gems" by Diana Jarrett, GG "Designer Mia Katrin of Jewel Couture LLC has traveled the world buying gems in locations such as India and Sri Lanka. Ruby briolettes and beads feature prominently in her sumptuous designs favored by Hollywood celebrities. Katrin's ruby rough hails from Kenya and is cut in India. Her clients adore ruby, so she pairs the stone appropriately with high-karat gold and platinum. The Ruby's transparency, or lack of it, contributes to the final price of her stylish designs. 'I have a necklace of transparent deep red ruby and diamond briolettes in 18-to-22-karat gold for $9,500, but also a necklace of large, deep red opaque ruby briolettes, with substantial 18-karat gold bars for $3,600. The client has a choice.'"
