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.

- Interchangeable Constellation Earrings with Sapphires, Tanzanites and DiamondsBy Martha SeelyLocated in Carlisle, MANew in 2020 - when you want earrings that you can really mix and match (perhaps for a weekend getaway or work trip) that can take you from quiet and conservative to sparkly and fun, these Constellation Jacket Earrings in sterling silver are just the ticket. The earrings are made in three parts. There is a tanzanite stud that is separate from the dangle earring. The dangle is made with sapphires, tanzanites and diamonds and has a flower "jacket". AND there is a hoop dangle that dresses up the earring completely. There is a total of 0.34 carats of diamonds and 3.582 carats of sapphires and tanzanites. There are many ways to wear the earrings. Use the stud alone. Pair it with the jacket dangle. Use it with just the hoop. Put everything together. Wear the hoop in front of your ear lobe or behind for a cool, funky look. The fun part, you can use your own diamond, pearl or sapphire post earring...Category
