In addition to creating beautiful, quality jewelry, Kim believes in giving back. With your help, she was able to donate a portion of her proceeds from the 2001 Santa Clara Art and Wine Festival to the N.Y. Firefighters 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund. Kim also donated jewelry to BD&A 2007 and 2008 Spring Fling, where all of the proceeds benefit the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research. Personal donations have also been given to Stand Up To Cancer in memory of her father. In 2020, Kim donated to the IATSE Face Mask Initiative, who makes and donates PPE face masks to help protect essential workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Kim also donated to Campaign Zero, a comprehensive platform of research-based policy solutions to end police violence in America.
With your help, Kim will continue to make cancer awareness jewelry and donate 100% of the net proceeds to the Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Center at the end of every year. Her yearly contributions will go directly towards cancer research, education, and new treatments for all different types of cancer. 100% of the net proceeds from Kim's sterling silver safety pin necklace will also be donated yearly to The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization.
"Your jewelry is absolutely beautiful and your service is unbeatable. Thank you for making me feel so comfortable shopping online." - New Orleans, LA
