Meet Jan
Jewellery expertise with a personal approach
Jan-Christian Bostelmann has worked within and around the jewellery trade since 2003. What began with an apprenticeship at Catherine Jones Jewellery in Cambridge developed into a passion for craftsmanship, specialist sourcing and genuinely personal service.
Today, Jan and the deutsche craft team work closely with jewellers and trusted manufacturing partners to find the right solution, whether that means a single chain, an unusual design, a complete collection or something that does not yet exist.
Built through experience and the love of craftsmanship
Our Story
Made by people who know their craft
Behind every collection is specialist knowledge built over generations. deutsche craft works with established German manufacturers and independent makers who combine traditional skills with contemporary jewellery design.
One of these partners is Eugen Rühle, a family-owned jewellery manufacturer founded in Pforzheim in 1892. More than 130 years later, the company continues to create fine chains and jewellery in one of Germany’s most renowned jewellery regions.
These long-standing relationships allow us to offer more than products alone, they give our clients access to genuine manufacturing expertise.
Brands we work with
Something more specific in mind?
Not everything you need can be found in a catalogue. If you are searching for a rare chain, an unusual finish, a different length or a completely bespoke design, we work directly with our manufacturing partners to explore what is possible.
From delicate 0.6 mm chains to substantial statement pieces, from one item to an entire collection, our network allows us to find, adapt and create solutions around the needs of independent jewellers.
Because sometimes the right piece already exists, and sometimes it needs to be made.
We’ve been working with deutsche craft for several years and continue to be impressed by their quality and service. They’re always quick to respond, helpful, and thorough - nothing is ever too much trouble. Deutsche Craft always keeps both us and our clients happy.”
