“With great sadness, we announce that our founder, Jan Logan, passed away peacefully in Sydney earlier today, surrounded by family,” said a statement posted on the Jan Logan – luxurious jewellery house – social media platforms.

“Born in Narrabri, Jan raised her family on a farm before moving to Sydney. Jan’s country upbringing fed her imagination and nurtured her pragmatic and indomitable spirit,” said the statement.

“Launching the business in 1989 at the age of 50, Jan went on to build a loyal following of her signature designs that blended classic elements with a contemporary edge.

“Jan’s impeccable style and creativity remained firmly anchored to the principles of quality, wearability and timelessness.

“Jan was a storyteller who understood that a piece of jewellery marked a moment to be treasured by future generations.

“She infused our boutiques with her genuine warmth, style and a flawless eye for detail. Jan cherished the connections she made with clients, staff and peers over the decades.

“Jan’s influence on Australian creative industries was considerable. While we mourn the loss of a visionary and beloved matriarch, we celebrate the enduring beauty she left behind—a legacy that will continue for years to come.”
