Our Story
Kimberly is the founder and designer of Kimberly James Jewelry, a woman-owned meaningful jewelry company in Annapolis, MD. Growing up near water, Kim always felt a deep connection to it. After a series of encounters with a blue heron, she became curious about its symbolism and discovered it represents self-reflection, resilience, strength, and patience. Recognizing the need for these qualities in her own life, she felt inspired to create jewelry that could empower other women, including her daughters, to embrace their own journeys with confidence and grace.
This realization led to her signature Heron Wing pendant, designed from the wing in her blue heron logo and wrapped around hand-cut gemstones chosen for their beauty, energy, and meaning. Each pendant is handmade, making every piece as unique as the person wearing it.
More than jewelry, Kim’s designs serve as reminders to embrace strength, patience, and self-reflection. What began with one heron wing pendant has evolved into a collection inspired by the blue heron and life on the water, her collection celebrates life’s meaningful moments and the people who make them special. Each piece serves as a physical touchpoint, a reminder to reconnect with yourself, embrace connection, and live authentically.
