Those who feel they don’t belong will seek or create until they find their own.

We are all collections…

of experiences, decisions, blessings, misfortunes, triumphs, and attempts. Each discrete moment, a piece of varying significance. It all matters though, ever accumulating and evolving. We are not defined by any single attribute, any single occurrence; yet collected, they make up who we are.  

We are our light, our shadows, and the spaces between.  Contrasts, oxymorons, and reconciliations. There is no joy without pain, no comfort without struggle, and no success without failure. We choose what to celebrate, commemorate, and share.  Even the moments we no longer remember, or have consciously let go of, are still with us even if only in the shape of a space we’ve grown around. 

Our jewelry is conceived with meaning and significance in mind and at heart - as embodiments of memories, events, and people who claimed space in our lives. What’s represented for each of us may be different, but at our core, we share variants of the common human experience. We curate our identity, commemorating chosen parts of our lives, and hope they resonate with others.

Maybe the highs of our lives make the best in us; or, it’s the lows we’ve overcome that make the best in us. Either way, you decide what’s represented in your collection of experiences. As a whole, it all amounts to something more beautiful than you realized in each moment.

Local & Mindful Production

The K. Mon philosophy is rooted in live and let live - that we can all pursue our dreams mindfully and empathetically, at the very least without imposing ourselves detrimentally on others - and idealistically, that love and kindness are our most sustainable resources. 

All pieces are locally designed and created in New York City, with the help of local small businesses and individual vendors.  Produced with minimal waste and carbon footprint in mind, pieces are designed and modeled with 3D software by Kathleen, then cast locally with an industry-trusted caster that uses gold supplied by a Scientific Global Services (SCS) certified refinery using 100% recycled content. Gemstones are responsibly sourced both locally, domestically and internationally from individual or family-run small scale vendors.
