KMJ Turns 2!
Picture a birthday cake with enough candles to celebrate twenty-five store locations, two new people, our first piece worn and then purchased by a celebrity (thank you, Rachael Ray), and a new studio—that’s a lot of candles!
October 2018
Rachael Ray Wears KMJ
The Martie Necklace was worn by Rachael, on her daytime television show, a number of times throughout the fall season. While the necklace was originally sent as part of a press loan, Rach loved it so much she purchased it for herself - what an honor!!
October 2018
Erin Kerns Joins KMJ
Getting into more stores combined with the overwhelming success enjoyed at high-end retail art shows made it abundantly clear that Kate needed help to continue to grow. Erin joined KMJ to assist with prep + production work, and order fulfillment. Kate would continue to design all collections and OOAK pieces, and still be hands on in most of the production.
September 2018
Aspen Collection Launch
Inspired by the color and majesty of the aspen in autumn. Featuring signature bark texture, gold, and reclaimed diamonds (more than in any KMJ collection, ever).
July 2018
First High End Art Fair
Kate Maller Jewelry debuted for the first time in a retail setting at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver, CO. With fewer than 10% of applicants accepted into this highly competitive juried art show, it was an honor to be invited. The work enjoyed a phenomenal reception!
February 2018
Shine On Collection Launch
The Shine On Collection was inspired by a trip to The Denver Art Museum. In particular, abstract impressionist paintings, and the way the artists would splatter the paint across the canvas to create dynamism and a sense of depth captivated Kate’s attention.
February 2018
Debut at NY Now
Kate exhibited at her first wholesale trade show. We now exhibit twice annually.
"NY NOW, held twice a year, is the leading market for home and lifestyle products. NY NOW features three collections—HOME, LIFESTYLE and HANDMADE — that extend throughout the Javits Convention Center in New York City. It’s the premier market for all that’s new and on trend in specialty retail."

Debut Collection Launch

February 2016
Dreams of KMJ
After metalsmithing for a number of years 'on the side', while practicing architecture full-time, Kate quit her full-time job to pursue her passion + follow her dreams. She has never looked back, and considers this decision one of the best leaps of faith she has ever made.
November 2013
Bit By The Bug
This is the very beginning! After years of pursuing dual masters degrees, Kate was in the homestretch of graduation, where she would finish top of her class + win a national ASLA award for her Landscape Architecture work. Despite this, Kate felt restless + asked her boyfriend (now husband) for metalsmithing classes for her birthday. The moment she sat at her first jewelry bench she knew that she had discovered something very special. It was instant magic. She had been 'bit by the bug!'

Client Reviews
Briana Scibilia
Rachael Ray Show, New York, NY
One word I can say about Kate’s pieces – OBSESSED! I work with Rachael Ray on her television show and am always looking for fun new jewels to put on her. Every once and while I will find a designer that makes such cool, beautiful and unique pieces; Kate is definitely one of those designers! She is my go to whenever we need a great piece to put on Rach for a show and she always looks oh so fabulous in anything we put on her from KMJ. I mean, have you seen her cuffs?! Total heart eyes.
Dawn Paschal
Fort Collins, CO
I discovered Kate's beautiful pieces by chance in a Colorado jewelry store. They caught my eye immediately because of the way she combines oxidized silver with gold dust to create handcrafted items of unique and interesting design. The added bonus is her commitment to sustainable and ethical business practices. I currently own several of Kate's rings and bracelets and look forward to purchasing more from her collections.
Kelly Hall
Denver, CO
Kate worked with my husband to update and upgrade my wedding bands while expertly including stones from some heirloom jewelry into two custom rings. I never really received any comments, let alone compliments on my rings but now I have strangers asking me about these unique and beautiful pieces. They are a reflection of me, my marriage, and how we have evolved together over the last decade. I can't wait to add to my Kate Maller collection in the future!
Lyn Z.

I met Kate at a local art show. She worked with me to create custom pieces that are perfect! I can’t say enough good things about Kate, the work, the process, etc. Pick something out, you won’t be sorry!
Martie Pollard
Gales Ferry, CT
I love most how absolutely wearable the pieces are - even though a piece might look heavy I find it surprisingly light...the inside of the rings are also incredibly soft on the skin. My KMJ pieces are definitely my favorites in my jewelry collection.
Donna Leonard

I simply love Kate’s designs and workmanship! Her pieces are beautiful!
