Job description

Trained as a sculptor at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and as a fine jewellery designer at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague, fine jeweller Bibi van der Velden combines the natural world with a romantic edge to create unique, eye-catching pieces with a fantasy-like aesthetic.
Bibi van de Velden’s jewellery-making is grounded in traditional craftsmanship and Bibi has always ensured sustainability & transparency throughout the brand’s history, and luxury supply chain.
Nature and the animal world are constant signatures in Bibi’s whimsical designs; from swirling tornado earrings to statement tusk and gold carved alligator earrings, to a noble tusk-carved unicorn that crowns a gold ring. Bibi hand-sketches and hand-carves each piece in wax and consciously works with sustainable and unexpected materials, from 60,000-year-old mammoth tusk, ostrich eggs, to scarab wings.
Movement, innovation and transformation are all hallmarks of Bibi’s work in a brand that over the last decade has carved a unique place in the creative fine jewellery category and is expected to continue to grow in a receptive market. The business has grown double digit year-on-year and is now a multi-million Euro business. The ambition for the future is to continue to grow and become a globally known boutique lifestyle brand built around Bibi’s inspiration and sculptural background by creating and distributing different forms and functions to evolve the brand fine jewellery signature into sculptures, art works, homeware, perfume, etc.
The Production Manager, together with the Design team spearheaded by Bibi,, will play a key role. We are looking for someone who understands the manufacturing process, is analytical, extremely organised, passion for detail.. A go-getter that can work independently but also enjoys working in a team.
