Bijules, founded in 2002 and designed by former nightlife impresario Jules Kim, is known for innovative and trendsetting silhouettes paired with precious metals and gemstones. Defying both fashion and jewelry standards, pieces from the collection have been seen on Beyonce, Rihanna, Doja Cat and Cardi B. With a keen focus on positive community impact and authentic storytelling, every piece of Bijules is hand-made with an eye towards ethics and responsibility. 
“My clients are always looking for ways to tie their cultural imperatives to their purchases, and they demand honesty in concept, design and ethical practices,” explains Kim. Raised as an artist but not born into the luxurious jewelry industry, Jules's experience from working in various sectors and combining different silos of activities allowed her to view the fashion and luxury world through different lenses that inspired her one-of-a-kind masterpieces. In fact, Bespoke Bijules is a service of-fered that reflects custom design not just to the masses but also to unique individuals in search of a permanent jewelry statement. Collaboration encourages a one-on-one dialogue directly with Jules Kim, who weaves each client’s story, aspiration, and heritage into one empowered and authentic product.
