Today we’d like to introduce you to Kim Khan.

Kim Khan

Hi Kim, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
Driven by my unwavering passion for fashion, it was no surprise that I felt compelled to nurture my small jewelry business. Throughout my journey, I have been fortunate enough to explore various avenues within the fashion industry – from modeling and assisting a fashion designer to curating content as a fashion blogger and capturing moments as a professional photographer.

Not only did I have the privilege of founding and designing gifts for Love & Bisous, a gifting business specializing in elegant wooden gift boxes with floral arrangements and unique items, but I also had the joy of collaborating with my creative and talented mom. Together, we would immerse ourselves in endless conversations about fashion. Tragically, she passed away in April 2019, leaving an indescribable void in my life. However, her memory and inspiration continue to drive me forward.

Creating a jewelry brand in her name was not only a perfect tribute but also a way to keep her spirit alive. My wonderful husband, understanding the significance of this endeavor, helped me come up with a business name that honors both my mom, Bibiana (lovingly called Bibi), and myself, Kim. With every piece I create, I feel her unwavering support and a deep connection to our shared past.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Creating a successful small jewelry business has been an incredible adventure, where every twist and turn has brought me closer to achieving my dreams.

Though there have been hurdles to overcome, the feeling of accomplishment that comes with each milestone reached is unparalleled. From sourcing high-quality materials to designing and creating unique and captivating pieces, the journey has been anything but ordinary.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Design holds a special place in my heart as it allows me to unleash my creativity and bring forth unique ideas. The world of aesthetics fascinates me, particularly the allure of monochromatic tones. From the elegance of black to the purity of white, I find beauty in the simplicity and sophistication they possess.

This passion for design extends beyond mere aesthetics, as I am particularly driven by the art of jewelry packaging and branding. I believe that the presentation of a piece of jewelry is just as important as the piece itself, and I strive to create packaging that complements and enhances the jewelry within.

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
Starting a small jewelry business itself requires a certain level of risk-taking. You are venturing into a competitive market where you need to stand out amongst other established brands.

It involves investing your time, money, and energy into a venture that may or may not yield immediate results. However, with careful planning, market analysis, and a passion for your craft, the risks you take can translate into rewards.
