She recognised her creative talent at the age of 15 while working at a mom-and-pop jewellery manufacturing store over weekends and school holidays and later qualified as a goldsmith, with certifications in diamond grading, gemstone identification and marketing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39778\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/20230919_112401-299x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"208\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/20230919_112401-299x400.jpg 299w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/20230919_112401-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/20230919_112401-768x1027.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/20230919_112401-314x420.jpg 314w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/20230919_112401-696x930.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/20230919_112401.jpg 808w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39782\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-400x276.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"406\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-400x276.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-1024x707.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-1536x1060.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-609x420.jpg 609w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-218x150.jpg 218w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-696x480.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-1068x737.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Gold-impressions-3.jpg 1565w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am in awe of the beauty that surrounds us, and this is where I find my inspiration and sets me apart as a jeweller. Natural gemstones seem to come alive and \u2018tell\u2019 me what they want to be made into. Creating pieces that show these stones off is my happy place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kim says customers want authenticity today and they need someone who can lead them through the journey of creating their special piece. Having this ability, as well as a practical knowledge of jewellery manufacture, has resulted in a returning customer base for Kim, who also now has her customers\u2019 children and even grandchildren, all over the world, dealing with her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had no experience in running a business, but it was my dream and I was determined to make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So in July 1994, with no shortage of determination &#8211; which she still exhibit\u2019s today &#8211;\u00a0 and her previous years\u00a0 jewellery experience, Kim started on her own with a jewellery studio at home. After 10 years of operating her business &#8211; which had moved from Cape Town to her parent\u2019s garage in Cowies Hill, and then to a home studio in Hillcrest &#8211; she opened her first retail, manufacturing shop in Hillcrest in October 2004. By 2010, Kim\u2019s business had grown to two shops, and she is also well known today for mentoring and guiding other goldsmiths and designers with her passion and ethos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have downsized to one retail store to allow me to concentrate on my new concepts and ideas. This new branch will concentrate on mentoring other up and coming designers and jewellers from all walks of life. Experience, skill and empathy play a huge role in mentoring the newcomers,\u201d says Kim.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39784\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Jewelley-014-Copy-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Jewelley-014-Copy-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Jewelley-014-Copy-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Jewelley-014-Copy-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Jewelley-014-Copy-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Jewelley-014-Copy-631x420.jpg 631w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Jewelley-014-Copy-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Jewelley-014-Copy-1068x711.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/Jewelley-014-Copy.jpg 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39781\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/DSC_0988-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"237\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/DSC_0988-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/DSC_0988-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/DSC_0988-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/DSC_0988-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/DSC_0988-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/DSC_0988-696x695.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/DSC_0988-1068x1067.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/06\/DSC_0988.jpg 1081w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe small business is the backbone of the economy, employing locals and giving back to our communities.
