Our Story
A Desert Soul
Kingdom crafts contemporary jewelry with a desert soul. Drawing on our deep expertise in high-grade stones and gems, our collections share a world-roaming, freewheeling aesthetic. We’re inspired by heirloom pieces. Long road trips. The sheer beauty of the materials we work with every day. At any given moment, you’ll find us setting a piece of three-million-year-old agatized dinosaur bone or admiring Native American turquoise artifacts that we found on our latest travels. Alongside our own lines, we carry a handpicked selection of collectable homewares and vintage jewelry—objects that made us stop and marvel.
Visit us in store at 1714 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, Canada.
The Story
Kingdom was founded by Natasha Peck, our stone expert, and Dylan Lee, whose family has been in the lapidary business since the 1970s. In 2007, we met, fell in love, and started building an absurdly large collection of stones and gems. From Dylan’s gemologist father, we learned the nuances of sourcing in the rough and making high-quality cabochons.
At the same time, we became keen (obsessive) antique hunters, unearthing one-of-a-kind collectables from estate sales near and far. We merged these two passions—stones and antiques—when we launched Kingdom in 2014. We began crafting pieces that reflect our Americana aesthetic, selling them alongside heirlooms that we found and brought back to life.
Today, we split our time between our Vancouver studio and buying trips around the world in search of fresh inspiration.
The Name
As designers, we believe jewelry isn’t just decoration—it’s self-expression. We chose the name Kingdom as a nod to every person’s right to rule over their own style. Because each piece you wear is a small declaration about who you are.
