Descrição da vaga

We are looking for a highly skilled, independent jeweler who is confident with both traditional bench work and modern technology, and who is equally comfortable representing the house directly to our clients.

Responsibilities

• Execute sizing, chain and clasp restoration, prong re-tipping, bezel and shank work, and head replacement to a standard that withstands close inspection.
• Set stones across every discipline — prong, bezel, channel, pavé, and micro-pavé — on client heirlooms and house inventory alike.
• Undertake hand fabrication, casting, polishing, and finishing as each project requires, using both traditional bench methods and modern equipment, including laser welding.
• Meet with clients to discuss repairs, alterations, and custom work, and prepare clear estimates and timelines.
• Manage your own workload and job tracking, and honor every completion date promised to a client.
• Maintain precise documentation and secure handling of client property from intake through completion.

Key Qualifications

• Proficient in torch and laser welding.
• Skilled in ring sizing, chain repair, fabrication, and fine jewelry restoration.
• Strong hand-tool and precision bench skills, with an excellent eye for detail and quality craftsmanship.
• Comfortable working directly with clients and discussing repairs, alterations, and custom work.
• Organized, with strong administrative and job-tracking skills.
• Able to manage projects independently and meet promised completion dates.

The Candidate

• Jewelers of America bench certification (CBJ, CBJT, or CMBJ), or equivalent mastery demonstrated through portfolio and evaluation. We weigh the work above the years.
• Comprehensive knowledge of precious metals and gemstones, and of how each behaves — able to anticipate what a repair will ask of a stone or a setting before the first tool touches it.
• At ease with a discerning clientele: composed, articulate, and able to explain a technical constraint without condescension.
• Prepared to grow into the design conversation if not already conducting it. We invest in exceptional hands.
• A true collaborator. This position touches every other role in the house, and the model succeeds only when the exchange between them is seamless.
• Available to work weekends and holidays through the season.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary from $100,000, commensurate with experience and demonstrated command of the bench, plus the opportunity for a performance-based bonus.

• Wyoming levies no state income tax — a meaningful difference in realized compensation against comparable positions in other luxury markets.
• Relocation assistance available.
• Four weeks of paid time off.
• 401(k) with company matching.
• Educational allowance in support of continued mastery: bench certification, GIA coursework, and trade education.
• Tool allowance: $2,000.
