The Problem
In a world saturated with fast fashion, mass production, and generic design, jewelry often loses its soul. Consumers see hundreds of pieces—but few tell a story, few empower, few represent real artisanship.
Our Vision & Mission
At Bolek Jewellery, we aim to restore meaning to fine jewellery. Every piece is designed by us, every detail is intentional. Though our production takes place in Istanbul, our company was founded by a Dutch–Turkish immigrant woman, and we bring our creations proudly to the Netherlands.
We believe in lifting voices — that’s why our atelier is staffed entirely by women artisans between ages 19 and 25. We give space for creativity, skill development, and dignity through work.
We don’t just sell jewellery. We strive to build a movement of authenticity, craftsmanship, and empowerment.
What We Do Differently
Design First, Always
Every piece begins with a concept, a story, and sketches. We don’t follow fleeting trends; we build timeless design rooted in values.Women-Centered Ateliers
Our atelier is more than a workshop—it’s a creative home. We intentionally employ young women (19–25), teach them the craft, and empower them with ownership, skill, and pride.From Istanbul to Amsterdam
Production is based in Istanbul to tap into generations of craft heritage. But we operate as a Dutch brand rooted in the Netherlands, balancing heritage with our market.Transparent & Authentic
We refuse marketing tricks. We don’t hide behind empty claims. Quality, materials, provenance — we make everything clear.
Our Goals
To see Bolek Jewellery pieces carried by boutiques and editorial spaces in the Netherlands, Europe, and beyond.
To train dozens of women artisans through our atelier model over the next 5 years.
To inspire other brands to scale authenticity and social impact over shortcuts.
