"Located in Upper Arlington, OH, on the corner of Berkshire & Brandon sits an adorable red brick house where I spent most of my childhood growing up. At 6 years old I discovered slabs of slate in the neighborhood woods and brought them home to my parents. I stated that I wanted to go door to door and sell these slate boards, hand painting the buyers name on their purchased slate board. Although quite amused at my idea, my parents encouraged me to go for it. I think we all knew at that moment that my entrepreneurial spirit was born."

 

Berkshire Brandon is a Chicago-based unique and sophisticated jewelry line designed and founded by Kimberly Hambrick. Kimberly has spent the last 15 years working in commercial interior design and architecture, where she has been able to apply her creativity and showcase her sense of style and individuality. Craving a new outlet where she could showcase her skills, Kimberly began designing jewelry for herself and family. After receiving positive reactions to her pieces (and with the encouragement of family and friends), Kimberly decided to turn this creative outlet into a company, Berkshire Brandon. 

 

Kimberly's jewelry designs draw on inspiration found in various elements - her interior design career, textile textures & prints, her love of the beach & ocean, as well as the twinkling lights and lively energy of the city of Chicago. Our unique, hand-made designs feature vibrant, color-saturated gemstones, textured pendants, precious metals and earthy elements such as bone, horn, and wood. Our goal is to create high quality, unique fashion forward pieces that can take you from day to night, wherever your location may be. We want women to feel like they are wearing something fabulous and special, pieces that make them happy, pieces that get noticed ... and when you receive The Ultimate Compliment - "where did you get that?", well, we think we've done our job!
