People Behind KUN

KUN is the brainchild of an Iraqi-born, Canadian-based designer, Zainab Al-Anbagi.

After dedicating a decade to the corporate world of architecture, Zainab decided to embark on a new chapter, shifting her focus to her true passion for creating unique designs—a talent recognized since her student life in architecture school.

Zainab’s deep admiration for cultures, art, and history, coupled with her keen eye for the beauty in nature and architecture, has shaped her into a detail-oriented individual. She appreciates the quality of others’ work and recognizes the time and effort invested in creating it. These passions and values have been the driving force behind her decision to redirect her life towards the jewelry-making industry.

In pursuit of her dream, Zainab took a bold step. She resigned from her corporate role, and flew off to Egypt to join the design studio of the renowned jewelry designer Azza Fahmy, transforming her enduring dream of becoming a jewelry designer into a vibrant reality.

The foundations

The Meaning of KUN

Inspired by the Arabic expression (كن) “Let it be,”
KUN embodies the dynamic force of creation.

We wholeheartedly believe that dreams can manifest in an instant,
and our mission is to encapsulate that essence in every piece we offer.

The Birth of KUN

Now, let’s rewind to the birth of the KUN idea in Zainab’s mind.
Picture 2020, a time of global reflection and prioritizing self-discovery.
Uncovering what truly brings joy was no easy feat. For Zainab,
KUN became an inspiration, a reminder that positive change
can happen in the blink of an eye. This pivotal moment led her to
sketch her very first simple rings—KUN كن. Since then, Zainab has
held onto them, convinced that the transformative vibes of these
letters have shaped every aspect of her life.
