Miami Living: If you could design a Maya David collection inspired by Miami, what elements would you incorporate into the jewelry? David Lim: I’d play with ocean blues, sandy neutrals, and sleek gold accents—something that captures both the energy of the city and the calm of the coastline. Maybe some woven textures inspired by Miami’s Art Deco patterns, and a piece that pays homage to the Cuban link chain, but with a unique Maya David twist. Miami Living: Experiencing a home burglary can be incredibly traumatic. How did that event shift your perspective on security, personal space, and even material possessions? David Lim: It definitely changed how I see security. I used to think, “It won’t happen to me.” Now, I take every precaution—cameras, alarms, reinforced locks. But beyond that, it changed my relationship with material things. You realize the most valuable things in life aren’t replaceable, and that’s what led us to create something that holds meaning beyond just aesthetics. Miami Living: The jewelry you lost had sentimental value that couldn’t be replaced. Have you created any pieces in Maya David that hold new, deeply personal meaning for you and Marketa? David Lim: Yeah, a few. One of the first bracelets we designed was actually inspired by a piece I lost in the burglary. It’s different, but it carries the same energy. And Marketa wears a sunstone bracelet I made for her every day—it represents the start of something new for us. Miami Living: With S.W.A.T. back on the air and Maya David growing, what excites you most about this next chapter in your life? David Lim: Right now, I’m excited to keep building and growing as an actor and entrepreneur. S.W.A.T. hitting Season 8 and 150 episodes is a huge milestone, and with Maya David, we’re just getting started. It’s a crazy balance, but I love the challenge. You can watch season 8 of S.W.A.T. weekly on CBS, or stream it on various platforms. Check out the Maya David jewelry line on their website, https://shopmayadavid.com.
