A world of beauty can be derived from friendship. At least this is the case for Kin, a Malaysian jewellery brand founded in 2018 by two very good friends, Athiya Hamid, 31, and Zaireen Iskandar, 38.

The duo actually started out as colleagues. With a shared love for gorgeous jewellery – especially pieces that, as they put it, “would not break the bank”, it led to them creating their own.
