Heritage

A single stone,
a continent of provenance.

Founded by John Kabamba, KK Bangkok was built on a single principle: that the world's most extraordinary malachite should travel the shortest possible distance — from the rock face of the Congo to the hands of the maker.

We bridge the gap between top-tier African mining regions and the global market, providing an uninterrupted, ethical, and highly competitive supply chain for commercial buyers, artisans, and jewelry manufacturers worldwide.
