The New York-based designer, known for her asymmetrical gem-set jewellery, has joined forces with Gemfields on a special capsule collection, showcasing responsibly mined emeralds from Kagem in Zambia.
The Kimberly McDonald x Gemfields emerald suite features Irregular Shaped Emerald Drop Earrings and an Irregular Shaped Emerald Tennis Necklace. Gems from the Kagem mine – which is majority-owned and operated by Gemfields and has been the source of some of the world’s most exceptional emeralds – are the perfect complement to these playful, asymmetric pieces.
Kimberly McDonald’s design motto is to let the natural speak for itself – and Zambian emeralds lend themselves perfectly to this aesthetic. Kimberly’s pieces feature gems set at different angles and heights, giving each one a quirky, individual appeal.
The drop earrings contain more than 26 carats of emeralds of different shapes and sizes in an irregular design. The pendant-style necklace features a chain with this same asymmetrical scatter style, with over 34 carats of emeralds in total. In both pieces, the emeralds are carefully colour-matched for impact, creating a dramatic explosion of green.
Kimberly launched her business in 2007 and has since made a name for herself, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that invite meaningful connection. As well as sharing a passion for emeralds, the designer – who describes her ethos as creation without destruction– shares the same brand values as Gemfields, a world-leading responsible miner and marketer of coloured gemstones, committed to the principle that coloured gemstones should have a positive impact on their country of origin.
