Our Story
Kimberly James Jewelry started as an idea in 2020 when everything felt upside down. In the heart of COVID, Kim would take her kids to their neighborhood marina on the Chesapeake Bay, where she kept noticing a blue heron. No matter when she visited, the heron seemed to appear, bringing her a sense of calm and connection she couldn’t explain.
Curious about its meaning, Kim discovered that the blue heron symbolizes self-reflection, patience, resilience, and strength—qualities she realized were needed not only in her life but also by her daughters and other women around her. Inspired by these encounters, Kim envisioned a lifestyle brand that was both meaningful and timeless, designed to empower women to reconnect with themselves – the most important relationship of all. This vision led to the creation of our signature heron wing pendant, crafted from the wing in our logo.
What started with one pendant quickly grew into a collection inspired by the blue heron and life on the water. Each piece is designed to encourage self-reflection, cultivate connection and live authentically. Our designs symbolize strength, resilience and patience. Perfect for gifting at every chapter of life.
