Kimberly was introduced to the jewelry industry at a young age by her mother, who had a passion for recreating and designing heirloom jewelry for friends and family, which eventually led to a small business of her own.

After graduating from Bucknell University in 2003, Kimberly followed in her father’s footsteps and started her career in finance. While realizing she enjoyed business and finance, she craved a more creative role.

Kimberly made her way to Bobbi Brown Cosmetics where she helped to oversee international marketing and launch the brand in global markets. During that time, she gained valuable exposure, working under Bobbi and other strong, career-driven women who supported each other to build businesses, while also raising their families.

Once starting her own family, Kimberly was reintroduced to lab diamonds, and learned about the vast pollution caused by metal mining. She saw a gap in the market for consumers who believe that sustainable materials and modern luxury are one and the same. Kimberly dedicated over a year to research and joined organizations in the sustainable sector to find partners in manufacturing and sourcing.
