how it started
Carlijn grew up in the small town of Laren, in an entrepreneurial family where creativity and jewelry were always part of everyday life. From a young age, she was drawn to color, craft, and all things beautiful.
At eighteen, she moved to Amsterdam, where the city's energy and diversity gave her fresh inspiration. Traveling became a key influence, shaping her ideas and helping her figure out what really mattered to her.
While studying Museology, she developed a deep appreciation for heritage and aesthetics. But it was during a goldsmithing course that something clicked. She realized she wanted to build a jewelry brand, something personal, joyful, and full of color.
That’s how Bonnie Studios began, named after the daughter of close friends. What started small has been growing steadily ever since. Carlijn still designs the pieces herself and often works hands-on in the studio. At the same time, her team is slowly expanding, and so are her ambitions.
Bonnie Studios is still evolving, not perfect, but built with care and intention. Carlijn’s goal is simple: to create jewelry that makes people feel good. Honest pieces, full of personality, made to be worn and enjoyed.
MISSION
We’re on a mission to bring more colour into your life, not just through what you see, but through what you feel. At Bonnie Studios, we believe jewellery should feel good: comfortable, personal, and uplifting. Colour is a powerful, unspoken language that influences how we experience the world. Through our pieces, we want to help you express yourself and wear what truly makes you happy.
VISION
In a world where so much feels black, white, or grey we choose colour. Studies show that around 60% of our surroundings are made up of neutral tones. But we believe life is meant to be vibrant, joyful, and full of expression.
That’s why we design jewellery that feels as good as it looks. Pieces that aren’t about trends, but about you. We want you to wear what makes you smile, what lifts your mood, and what reflects who you are. At Bonnie Studios, we’re here to add a little more colour to the everyday, with thoughtfully designed, handpicked pieces that bring joy, confidence, and creativity into your life.
Come join us as we bring a bunch of creativity and colour back into the world with our beautiful designed and handpicked pieces.
