about buji bijoux

Buji Bijoux jewelry is where East meets West, playfulness meets sophistication, and nature meets city chic. "Starry Night," the debut bijoux, reinterpreted classic filigree technique through light-handed spiral patterning. The collection bends the raw symmetries of the natural world into unmistakably urban shapes.

With "Gatsby Tags," designer May Chen took a quick and auspicious turn into vintage territory. The brassy pendants of this limited-edition series are retooled liquor tags that formerly hung from the necks of early 1900s decanters.

After becoming a darling of the media, retailers, and jewelry lovers, Buji Bijoux launched its second major collection, "Swing Time." The pieces conjure up the romance of the Swing era through free-flowing patterns, sweeping lines, and vivacious motion. At the same time, each item strikes the beat of a bold and brassy statement - with inspiration and name derived from a Big Band hit. In a phrase, "Swing Time's" got rhythm.

A resident of New York by way of New England, the Midwest, and the Far East, "Buji" - "chubby girl" in Japanese - was May Chen's affectionate nickname as a toddler in Taiwan. It stuck long after May lost her apple cheeks, a testament to her enduring spunk. This tension between seeming contradictions makes Buji Bijoux a palpable force of beauty.
