About Kim Victoria

My jewellery practice is shaped by both the built and natural environments: weathered rock, architectural silhouettes, and the unexpected details found in Australia’s wild landscapes. I am drawn to the tension between strength and softness, and to pieces that feel both grounded and expressive.

With a background in Interior Design and Fine Art (majoring in Gold & Silversmithing), I create sculptural, refined jewellery using recycled gold, Australian sapphires, Argyle Champagne diamonds, and Coober Pedy opals. Each stone is chosen for its character and origin, with a focus on local and as-ethical-as-possible sourcing.

Many pieces begin through a process of collage and hand sketches. I use computer-aided modelling as an extension of my drawing practice, meticulously building forms in three dimensions and adjusting them repeatedly until the structure and flow feel resolved. The form is then translated through lost-wax casting and finished by hand as I engrave and trace each peak and valley of the metal.

My focus is on longevity, wearability, and meaning. My designs are guided by an enduring aesthetic rather than trends, and made to be worn and loved for many years.

You are welcome to visit my Brunswick East studio to explore the collection and talk through ideas. I aim to make jewellery that honours memory, place, and material. It would be my privilege to make something with you.

I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which I gratefully live and work. I respectfully recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their Elders past and present.
Always was, always will be.
