Blithe Bijou started as an idea for a creative, handmade business. I wanted a name that embodied something handmade and something that brought joy to those who came across my art. Blithe means happy and carefree and Bijou means trinket. I loved the way the words worked together and that's how this business was born! Thank you for being here, I hope you find something that sparks joy. -Kelsey, The Maker
These dainty earrings are part of the Matrescence collection and thread through the ear without needing an earring back to stay in place.
Matrescence is the process of becoming a mother and since my daughter was born I have felt a huge shift in who I am and my priorities. Seeing beauty in all the change and growth has really found it's way into my art. I hope these earrings help you to remember that change and growth, while hard, can be beautiful.
Inspired by becoming a mother and the constant state of change and simultaneous growth experienced by myself and my child. The designs are inspired by my child who has given me the courage and passion to do what brings me joy and nothing else. To create without limits or expectation. To make the life I see myself living instead of living in a state of fear or with imposter syndrome. To bring others joy with what my joy creates.
