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.

$2,750 / item - Asymmetric Cosmic Design Stackable Aquamarine 18K White Gold Cocktail RingBy Beatrice Barzaghi MilanoLocated in Milan, IT18K White Gold Asymmetric Cosmic Design Stackable Aquamarine Cocktail Ring. The stackable Egle ring is made of 18 karat white gold and features a round mixed cut natural aquamarine around 1.45 carats, diameter 6.7 mm. The total weight of the ring is 3.5 grams. The size of the ring is EU 54.5, US 7. The ring is CAD designed by Italian designer and gemologist (GIA G.G.) Beatrice Barzaghi, then 3D printed, fused in gold, set and polished by hand by the best Italian goldsmiths. The Egle ring was created as an engagement ring for an Italian interior designer named Egle. She wanted a revisited classic model; that’s why I created it as an asymmetrical solitaire when I tilted the gem on its side. It should remind the wearer that even the simplest thing as a solitaire can be seen from a different point of view, as we should always try to observe reality. I keep on saying it’s “the engagement ring for the neighbor” since the neighbor can easily admire it! Nevertheless, since I’m very fond of gems’ energies I thought I would love to wear several of these rings on the same finger and I conceived them as stackable rings providing me their marvelous energies. They move on the finger creating a new big cluster ring...Category
