All my jewellery has been made and finished by hand, therefore no two items are identical, nor are they perfect. It is these small imperfections that give the jewellery its character and each piece has a little bit of me in it x

5 out of 5 starsThese are so minimalistically beautiful - I wore them straight away. Love the oxidised look!

5 out of 5 starsI bought this as a birthday present for my 15 year old son who has started to wear chains, not sure if he would like it (teenagers🙄) but as he put it on straightaway I can safely say that it was a hit. It is beautifully made and customer service was faultless throughout - thank you to Kym. I’m confident that I won’t find this paper clip straightened out, unlike all the others on his desk.

5 out of 5 starsThank you so much for shipping this so fast, and for your kind communication! It is a beautiful pendant, lovely work, and I know my friend will love it too! Thank you for the little note stating that it’s 925 Sterling Silver, I was missing the stamp. Thanks ever so much, Kym!

5 out of 5 starsThese are simply gorgeous. I had bought the copper version for a friend’s birthday; they looked great on her so decided to treat myself to a pair of silver ones. Haven’t stopped wearing them since they arrived. Comfortable and very elegant.

About kymbi
I bash metal...I wrap gemstones...I play with fabric.
I love making things. I love bashing metals into shapes for jewellery, I enjoy the intricacies of wire-wrapping fine gemstones, I find making bags and clothes in different textiles satisfying. It’s a long step away from my old day job in the office!
I started making jewellery as a recouperative process after a bad health episode. I found that this was a wonderful and creative distraction that acted as an active meditation to calm my mind. From this, my new life as a designer-maker began.
I enjoy exploring the mix of metals and textures using traditional metal-work and incorporating these with my love of gemstones. I love the beauty and individuality of natural gemstones, their shapes, energies and healing abilities.
My jewellery designs vary according to my mood and energy levels, giving rise to distinctly different ranges of design and technique. When my mood is low, I make simpler designs where I can texture metal using a hammer to relieve frustration. When I have great concentration, I make intricate wire-wrapped pieces using precious metals and semi-precious stones. On really creative or contemplative days I will make rustic designs with set stones that often interpreting a story, an experience or a photo. Some days I completely ignore jewellery and settle down to work with textiles for a change. As my mood fires my creativity, no two days are the same. I work from my home studio in Sussex, surrounded by music and watched over by a cat or two and the odd seagull…..bliss.
