The Inspiration Behind Bessie Bae

Bessie Bae is born from the extraordinary legacy of Bessie Coleman, a woman who refused to be defined by limitation. As the first African American and Native American woman to earn a pilot’s license, she carved her place in history through bravery, ambition, and an unshakeable belief in her own potential. Her story embodies courage in its purest form — a willingness to rise above boundaries and pursue one’s dreams with grace and determination.

At Bessie Bae, we channel that spirit into every piece we create. Our jewellery is crafted in timeless 925 sterling silver, a metal chosen for its purity, longevity, and quiet strength. Each design reflects the qualities that defined Bessie Coleman: elegance rooted in resilience, femininity paired with fearlessness, and simplicity elevated by meaning.

We believe jewellery can carry more than beauty — it can carry story, empowerment, and intention. Our pieces are designed to be lived in: to accompany women through their personal journeys, milestones, and moments of self-expression. Just as Bessie Coleman rose above expectations, our brand celebrates women who embrace their own path, honour their ambitions, and move through the world with confidence.

Bessie Bae is not simply about adornment. It is a reminder of the strength within every woman.
A tribute to courage.
A celebration of spirit.
A commitment to timeless craft.
