End of Month Notes: July | Kate & Kole

The month that was at K&K

End of Month Notes: July

A podcast, two ring launches, a Brisbane residency, an evening with an artist we can't stop talking about, and a birthstone we were obsessed with weeks before its month even arrived.

  1. In a word, July was full. The kind of month where ideas we’d been talking about for weeks finally made their way out into the world, while the next round was already taking shape behind the scenes. There was a lot happening, a lot we learnt, and plenty we wanted to remember.

    So, here’s what actually happened and why some of it mattered more than it might have looked from the outside.

    Written by the marketing gals, who had a front row seat to most of it.

  1. SHOP GIFTS FOR HIM

    MEN'S JEWELLERY FINALLY GOT THE CAMPAIGN IT DESERVED

    This year marks the first time we've built a proper Father's Day campaign, and we wanted to be deliberate about it rather than reaching for volume. New imagery shot around the signets and necklaces, with the Milestone Ring at the centre of it, all designed with this collection in mind. We knew early on it would be the standout, the kind of piece customers connect with rather than just consider.

    The collection itself is intentionally small. A handful of considered, wearable pieces rather than a long list of options, built for men who take their jewellery seriously rather than those simply ticking a box. If you're buying for someone difficult, this is where we'd start.

  1. SARA & MADDY, IN FEMALE FOUNDER WORLD

    Sara and Maddy were profiled in Female Founder World this month, a feature we're proud of even though neither of them particularly enjoys being the subject of a story rather than the one telling it..

    You can listen to the episode here.

  1. BOOK YOUR BRISBANE APPOINTMENT

    WE FLEW TO BRISBANE FOR RESIDENCY

    We took the studio north for a one-day residency, the kind of format that sits at the core of how we think about being a national brand rather than a Sydney and Newcastle one. Appointments booked out fast enough that we're already doing it again later in August, this time from within The Calile on James Street, with engagement rings, wedding bands, and fine jewellery available to view on request.

    If you missed us this time, you won't have to wait long.

  1. LAUNCHED THE MILESTONE RING

    There are always a lot of conversations when we’re launching new products. This ring, though, felt like the right product from the very beginning.

    The Milestone Ring was designed with Father's Day in mind but built to outlast it: a piece for the occasions that rarely get a jewellery category of their own. A promotion, a decade, the birth of a child, someone worth celebrating or a decision worth marking, hand-stamped on the ring.

  1. DISCOVER OUR BRIDAL EDIT

    BRIDAL COLLABORATION WITH GRACE LOVES LACE

    A moment on set with Grace Loves Lace for their latest campaign, featuring our Tennis Necklace and Bracelet paired with Fae, our east-west emerald cut engagement ring.

  1. VISIT US IN STUDIO

    A FEW PRACTICAL UPDATES

    Saturday trading hours have been extended, with the studio now open 9 to 4, more room for appointments and in-person. We also relaunched our Gold Buy Back Program this month, with a clearer process for anyone holding gold they no longer wear.

  1. REGISTER YOUR EVENT INTEREST

    WINTER SHOPPING EVENT

    July also included a shopping event that moved quickly once it went live. If you missed it, keep an eye on your inbox. More are planned before the year is out, and they don't tend to stay quiet for long.
