“A line can wander, balance doesn’t have to be even, and strength can live in soft forms.“
Hi there! I’m Kim Trudy Viray, a jewelry artist born in Manila and now based in the heart of Rome. I create pieces that reflect my evolving interests—rooted in nature, shaped by structure, and open to delightful surprises. My work dances between the organic and the refined, the playful and the timeless.
As the founder and creative force behind Kimi Te Jewels, I believe jewelry should carry both story and soul. Each piece is made with thoughtfulness and care—never mass-produced, often one-of-a-kind or crafted in small, meaningful batches. While I often draw inspiration from the natural world and cultural textures, I also enjoy reimagining classic staples with a unique twist.
Building a niche brand abroad has given me a deep appreciation for craft, curiosity, and resilience. My roots and Italian base constantly influence the way I design and connect—with people, with materials, with the world around me.
If you’re in Rome, you’re welcome to visit my shop in the historic center—just a few steps away from Piazza Navona, Castel Sant’Angelo, and the Vatican. I’m very hard to miss—see you soon!
