Job description

Junior Goldsmith / Diamond Mounter

Cellini (Pearls) Limited

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

Cellini is a fine jewellery retailer based in the heart of Cambridge and celebrates its 45th Anniversary in December 2026. We are specialists in pearls, diamonds and fine jewellery and have on site workshops where we carry out repairs, alterations and restorations as well as make our bespoke jewellery.

We are at an exciting time at Cellini, where we both celebrating this milestone year but also busily preparing the business for the next 45 years of creating fine jewellery in Cambridge. Joining us at this time is a chance for the right candidate to grow within the business, becoming an important part of the future of Cellini as we embark on the next stage of our journey.

We produce a significant amount of our own stock in our workshops, as well as working with trusted suppliers for the remaining ranges. We work predominantly in 18ct gold and Platinum and natural diamonds as well as other gemstones.

We are looking for a full time Junior Goldsmith/Diamond Mounter to work across both workshops, gaining experience in all areas of our Goldsmithing work.

About the Job

You will have completed a period of training, whether that be a formal apprenticeship / similar level qualification, or have been working in a reputable fine jewellery workshop for at least 4 - 5 years.

We believe that the Goldsmiths and Diamond Mounters of the future will be multi disciplined, whether that be goldsmithing skills alongside proficiency in CAD, setting or other specialisms. Some understanding of CAD or setting would therefore be beneficial, although not crucial, as training will be provided.

About You

You will be competent at cleaning up and assembling castings with multiple components. A good ability with resizes and alterations and a solid foundation of handmaking skills are preferable, but again training will be provided to nurture these areas. You will have a high standard of finishing and demonstrate consideration for this throughout the making process.

You will be enthusiastic, motivated and have a keen desire to develop your skills. You will have excellent attention to detail and a passion for craftsmanship. Communication and team work are critical – we are a small team and depend on each other being adaptable, versatile and willing to help out where needed.

The Details

The position would be available to start in January 2027.

It is a full time, in person role, an fully employed capacity.

Salary will be dependent on experience.

Why work for Cellini?

We have an outstanding reputation within the area for the quality of our jewellery and the level of service we provide our customers.

We are passionate about training and development, with opportunities across the business to further your knowledge and skills through in house training and external courses. We have a range of tools and technology that our team work with to create our jewellery which will help to develop your skills and understanding further. We travel internationally to industry shows and for buying trips and opportunities are available to the team to attend these.

We operate a discretionary bonus scheme and generous company pension.
