About Ilyan

 

Jewelry with Meaning. Friendship with Purpose. The Story of Ilyan Jewelry.

Ilyan Jewelry was founded on the belief that jewelry is far more than decoration—it’s deeply personal. It honors the past, symbolizes love, expresses faith, and channels inner strength. Every piece we carry is chosen or created with this in mind.

Our story begins with friendship. Co-founders Kimby Kimmel and Amy Fink met as freshmen at Akiba Hebrew Academy (now Jack M. Barrack), where a shared locker row turned into a lifelong bond. After college, Amy built a 25-year career as a certified gemologist in Manhattan’s world-renowned Diamond District, while Kimby ran a successful stationery business that showcased her entrepreneurial spirit and eye for design.

In 2020, during the quiet of the pandemic, the two came together to launch Ilyan Jewelry in Haverford, Pennsylvania, on Philadelphia’s Main Line. What began as a passion project soon became a full-service private jewelry showroom, offering clients an elevated, highly personal shopping experience.

At Ilyan, we source distinctive pieces from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Italy, and design custom jewelry that captures individual stories. We also mentor emerging designers, constantly evolving our collection and deepening our connection to the future of the industry.

What sets Ilyan apart is our one-on-one appointments and concierge-level service. Whether you're redesigning an heirloom, selecting the perfect engagement ring, or just browsing our curated collection, we’re here to fulfill your every jewelry need with care and expertise.

And we’re proud to give back—hosting regular fundraising events in support of local schools and charities. Community is at the heart of all we do.

Two friends. One shared vision. A world of meaningful jewelry.
