About Kimba

Your Story Isn't Found in a Catalogue. Why Should Your Jewellery Be?

Most jewellery brands in Australia are playing a safe game. They use the same CAD templates, the same mass-produced settings, and the same generic white diamonds. The result? A ring that looks like everyone else’s.

I’m here to break that cycle.

I am Kimba Pham. I create jewellery for the individualist—the person who wants an heirloom that feels modern, bold, and entirely unexpected.

The Art of the Bridge

My work is a conversation between the bold, minimalist spirit of Australian design and the delicate, traditional artistry of my Vietnamese heritage. While I design and manufacture my bespoke commissions right here in Melbourne, my perspective is shaped by a much larger map.

I founded Hidden Gem, my boutique in Hoi An, to challenge what Vietnamese jewellery could be—fusing contemporary aesthetics with Asian technical mastery.

 

Global Insight, Local Hands

Beyond my own collections, I work behind the scenes as a manufacturing and design consultant. I help other brands navigate the complexities of ethical production, prototyping, and craftsmanship on a global scale.

How does this help you? Because I’ve seen the industry from every angle—from the first sketch in my studio to the final polish at the bench—I bring a level of technical rigor to your commission that most designers simply haven't lived.

  • Engineering Quality: My work in manufacturing means I don’t just design for "pretty"—I design for longevity. I know exactly how a piece needs to be built to survive a lifetime.
  • A "Hidden" Network: Running an international boutique gives me a direct line to rare, responsibly sourced Australian Sapphires and gemstones that carry a personality as unique as yours.
  • Total Transparency: My commitment to ethical integrity isn't a marketing slogan; it’s a standard I set and oversee at every level of my supply chain.

 

The Open Studio: Curated Making Experiences

I believe the best way to truly value an heirloom is to understand the soul of the craft. To share this, I facilitate workshops and curated making experiences within my studio.

These aren't just technical lessons; they are an invitation to step behind the bench and see the world through a maker's eyes. I guide you through the process of creation, sharing the same standards of intentionality and precision I bring to my global consultancy and bespoke commissions. Whether you are a brand looking to understand prototyping or an individual wanting to forge your own story, these experiences bridge the gap between observer and creator.

 

Jewellery to be Lived In

I don’t believe in keeping fine jewellery in a safe. I design for those who appreciate the subtle, "hidden" details—pieces that feel modern, sophisticated, and a little bit unexpected.

Whether we are building a ceremonial ring or a personal milestone piece, my goal is to create a future heirloom that resonates with your own story.

 

Let’s build something with intention.

On This Land I acknowledge that my Melbourne studio is located in Woiworung country, which is traditionally owned by the Wurundjeri-willam clan of the Woi wurrung speaking people. I recognise their continuing connection to the land, waters, and culture, and pay my respects to their past and present Elders.

Across the Bridge As a designer whose heart lives in two places, I also pay my respects to the land of my heritage in Vietnam. I honour the ancestors who paved the path for my own hands to create, and the guardians of the land who watch over the traditions and artistry that I carry with me today.

I am grateful for the opportunity to create on these two lands, and I commit to walking respectfully upon both.
