• Basic competency with IT and online tools, and a strong desire to learn how to create listings and maintain records on online platforms.
• Hands‑on experience working directly with jewellery, vintage goods, or precious metals.
• Practical understanding of hallmarking systems, alloy purities, and core gemstone characteristics.
• Sharp visual awareness to identify subtle maker's marks, metal wear, and signs of alteration or repair.

• Ability to maintain high detail accuracy while consistently meeting daily processing targets.
• Collaborative mindset with an openness to asking questions and sharing product insights with team members.
• Prior experience with e‑commerce listing workflows or online product database entry.
• Knowledge of specific historical design movements, such as Victorian, Art Nouveau, or Art Deco jewellery.
• Familiarity with basic gemmological testing tools, such as loupes, magnet tests, and refractometers.
