Faye Kim
Since Faye Kim first took up her goldsmith tools, she’s amassed a shelf full of awards, established a reputation for producing highly wearable, heirloom-quality jewels and acquired a devoted following of collectors, many of whom have purchased her work from the beginning.
As an undergrad, Kim dutifully pursued an economics degree to meet the expectations of her immigrant parents, and she worked for her father’s accounting office for a time. But she quickly found herself “restless,” she says, yearning to do something more creative.
Kim’s mother, having always supported her daughter’s creativity, encouraged her to attend the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in New York as a way to address her impulse for change.
As a newly minted graduate, Kim hopscotched from a job at a jewelry wholesaler to become a pearl buyer for Tiffany & Co. She eventually became a jewelry buyer at the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman, where she was exposed to the work of modern masters like Angela Cummings and Barry Kielselstein-Cord and to antique treasures from Kentshire.
Kim enrolled in classes as a hobby. The process enthralled her. “I loved being at the bench. I could sit there for hours on end,” she says. “I fell in love with the granulation process and making everything by hand.”
Kim immediately gravitated to working with 18-karat gold, especially in an alloy with a subtle green cast. When she decided to return to work, in 2003, she opened an eponymous boutique in downtown Westport, Connecticut, a bedroom community outside New York City, and it became her livelihood.
Kim established her stylistic signatures early on. Single pieces are weighty enough to hold their own but not too big to stack with others for a more imposing look, modern silhouettes are combined with old-world techniques like granulation and bezel setting, and virtually everything bearing her name is made entirely by artisans in her studio.
Sizable dome rings are much loved. And a stack composed of a gemstone ring flanked by gold bands is another mainstay for Kim’s true believers. Earrings dangling perfectly proportioned baroque-pearl or diamond drops that softly sway from hinged mountings are bestsellers.
Today, Kim is setting the groundwork for focusing on designs that challenge and excite her.

- 18K Gold Fred of Paris Triple Arc Diamond RingLocated in Venice, CAThis 18k gold and diamond pave band ring is befitting of a queen! The triple arc motif is an iconic Fred of Paris design, with three layered bands reminiscent of flower petals or the scales of an aquatic creature. Within the the motif, some arcs contain a diamond pave of round brilliant diamonds, bisected with a line of gold. The ring shimmers in the light and has a great presence on the hand. This is a new ring that has never been worn and is in perfect condition. The interior of the ring has its own unique design—the inversion of the outside of the band—that, though not visible when worn, adds another layer of beauty to the piece. The repeating arcs create a cathedral-like design, with the diamond pave sparkling like stained glass windows. Fred of Paris is a French jewelry and watch designer founded in 1936 by Fred Samuel. Born in Argentina into a family dealing in diamonds, pearls, and gem stones, Fred Samuel’s designs aim to express the Argentinian sunlight through precious gems. He was commissioned by the Nepalese king and queen to create jewelry that would match the saris...Category
