Kimberlin Brown Jewelry – Gravitating toward the beauty innature, my passion is revealed through the unique, organic shapes I use in my designs as well as my reverence for natural aesthetics.

‘I began at a young age collecting and sketching the flora and fauna found on walks in the woods and along the seashores in Connecticut where I grew up. During my formal training in fine arts at the Maryland Institute College of Art and The Art Institute of Chicago I discovered my passion for sculpture and working with precious metals. I continued studying in Europe. While traveling in Copenhagen I participated in a workshop at Georg Jensen’s studio. Years later I was very fortunate to become friends with and be taught by artist and master goldsmith Manfred Bischoff. These experiences confirmed making jewelry would be my lifelong love.

Inspiration
Remote destinations, off the beaten path, is where I find inspiration for new collections. When I submerse myself in the culture and natural beauty of an exceptional place –wether it be traveling to otherworldly Iceland or discovering a hidden beach on the Côte d’Azur to being mesmerized by teeny golden treasures at The MET– I return to my studio budding with ideas. Once the ideas take form colorful gems and pearls bring them to life.’

Kimberlin’s Iceland’ ring was juried into the permanent collection of The Museum of Arts and Design in NYC. Her sea inspired pieces have helped bring awareness to a cause important to her — coral conservation.

Diversity and Responsibility
The exceptional gems Kimberlin acquires from around the world are ethically sourced. They are as varied in color as a coral reef. These include diamonds; the spectrum of sapphires; tourmalines; opals; labradorite and rainbow moonstones; imperial topaz; rutile quartz and Persian turquoise. Stones for her ‘Sea Anemone’ and ‘Coral’ collections are custom cut to maximize their flash and capture light. This enhances their natural beauty. Tahitian and Japanese pearls in aubergine, gold and peacock hues are favorite iridescent center pieces as well.
