JEWELLERS by DESIGN
Kim relates, “I believe small businesses that employ locals are the backbone of the economy. Small businesses should stand together and see where they can work collaboratively, combining skills and experience to uplift the communities around us and in so doing creating jobs and improving lives.”
Jewellers by Design provides an environment that empowers aspiring jewellers and designers to achieve their goal of owning their own business, while working in a nurturing environment incorporating experienced leaders in the jewellery industry.
During Covid lockdown, and having time to reflect and strategize, Kim decided that living by design and not default was her aim and wanted to give back. This new branch will concentrate on mentoring other up and coming designers and jewellers from all walks of life regardless of race, creed and background. Experience, skill and empathy play a huge role in mentoring the newcomers.
Currently, Kim is collaborating with people who aren’t jewellery designers but have creative concept ideas. She added that working with them to create jewellery that they can go on and make an income from is ‘absolutely divine’. “My daughter is a zoologist and conservationist, her range is Pangolin inspired, she can give back to her community, donate to wildlife and create employment. There are just so many ways you can give back and be creative at the same time.”
