Bonnie Studios

Carlijn, the founder of Bonnie Studios, operates her atelier at the heart of Amsterdam, where she personally crafts each piece of jewellery. Her hands-on approach ensures ethical production practices, contributing to the brand’s commitment to sustainability and transparency. With Bonnie Studios, Carlijn not only brings her artistic vision to life but also embodies a dedication to craftsmanship and ethical jewellery making. We would, however, love to get more information regarding the ethical practices throughout the supply chain. 

At Bonnie Studios, they utilize a diverse array of materials, including colourful gemstones, silk, cotton, stainless steel, corals, pearls, silver, gold, and ceramic. Committed to eco-friendly practices, they opt for low lobster clasps made of recycled steel. Their packaging reflects their dedication to the environment, with organic cotton and linen bags. Organic cotton, grown without harmful pesticides or chemicals, offers a sustainable and highly absorbent option, ensuring both customer satisfaction and environmental responsibility.

In pursuit of circularity, Bonnie Studios prioritizes monomaterial designs, ensuring that their products are composed of single materials for ease of recycling. Carlijn uses long-lasting, recyclable, and reusable materials, prolonging the lifespan of their jewellery pieces. Additionally, she offers repair services, ensuring that items are kept in circulation rather than ending up in landfills.

Bonnie Studios manages a short production chain, handling production in-house at their atelier and headquarters. However, further details on their broader supply chain and transportation methods remain undisclosed.

In Bonnie Studios’ designs, deep-water coral is utilized, sourced ethically to avoid harm to natural coral reefs. Through a careful colouring process, this coral is transformed into vibrant hues while preserving environmental integrity. Additionally, the brand offers cultured pearls, each nurtured inside oysters, ensuring individuality. 

Bonnie Studios’ jewellery is crafted to inject colour into our often monochrome world. Each piece is a testament to Carlijn’s passion for bold hues, creating a continuous visual delight that captivates both wearer and observer alike.

The brand embraces slow fashion by offering customization and repair services, ensuring that every Bonnie piece is tailored to fit its owner perfectly. From resizing to creating unique colour combinations, Bonnie Studios accommodates individual preferences, fostering a deeper connection between wearer and jewellery. Carlijn’s dedication to Bonnie goes beyond mere business; it’s a journey of personal growth and entrepreneurship, reflecting her commitment to sustainable and mindful practices.

Bonnie Studios prides themselves on transparency as a small jewellery brand, providing insight into their processes and materials. However, COSH! aims to engage in further dialogue with Carlijn to gain deeper insights and details about the brand’s practices.
