Kim to Summit is a small business based in Columbus, Ohio, creating jewelry and gifts inspired by the most beautiful places in the country.

This brand was born from core memories made on hard-earned trails, a childhood spent on road trips instead of visiting beaches or cities, and a lifelong respect for the land that connects us all.

Thanks for stopping by!

From Kim: The idea for this business came to me in 2024 when I decided to rigorously train for 6 months to attempt summiting Mt. Rainier in Washington. After a failed attempt and deciding to plan for a second go, I realized I wanted a jewelry piece to remind me of my goal, especially during the times when I was ready to throw in the towel. I looked online for something to represent the summit and what it meant to me but came up empty-handed. After a lot of thought, I've decided to make the type of jewelry I couldn't buy myself, and thus came Kim to Summit.

I'm here to customize jewelry and everyday items based on your best memories, your favorite places; the goals, elevations, times, trails, and landmarks that make life beautiful.
