The House of Kimberly McDonald
A lifelong passion, expressed in a namesake collection — where the rough and the fine meet as they do in nature.
Kimberly McDonald launched in 2007 in New York City, following a career curating fine jewelry collections for private clients. Composing those collections sparked a brand where every one-of-a-kind piece carries a story and invites connection.
A reflection of her connection to stone and natural materials — between the collector and the piece, between the house and its suppliers, between the company and the planet.
Kimberly McDonald launches in New York City with an ethical design ethos at its core.
Begins a lasting commitment to the Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).
Michelle Obama wears a one-of-a-kind KMD diamond ring to the Presidential Inaugural Ball — later held by the Smithsonian.
Fine jewelry, expanded into apparel, accessories and eco-referenced home — all revolving around a love of the natural.
Sustainability isn't a campaign here — it's the operating principle. We seek out the finest natural materials, reclaimed gold and recycled diamonds, and handcraft the collection in the United States.
"I'm proud that I have such strong relationships with every level of the process — from miners to craftsmen. Each piece is made with care and respect."
