Job Overview

Experienced jeweler needed for a high end jewelry wholesale company. JB Star is a Well established, multi generational firm with long standing relationships across the top retailers in the country producing all categories of fine jewelry. Candidate must be quality conscious and have proven abilities in all areas of production.

The desired candidate should have 2 to 5 years' experience as a bench jeweler.

The person should have hands‑on, practical experience working at a jeweler's bench. In day-to-day terms, they should already be comfortable performing core jewelry tasks such as:

Core Jewelry Tasks

• Soldering
• Ring sizing
• Polishing and finishing
• Repairing broken pieces
• Working with small hand tools and precision equipment

Additional Skills

Knowledge of laser welding and torch techniques

Modern jewelry work often uses two approaches for joining metals:

Laser welding: a highly precise, low-heat method ideal for delicate work, stone-in jewelry repairs, and high-purity metals. The jeweler should know how to set up the machine, control energy settings, and weld cleanly without damaging surrounding areas.

Torch soldering: traditional method using a jeweler's torch. They should understand flame control, different solders (hard, medium, easy), heat distribution, and how to avoid overheating stones or metal.

Understanding of the complexity of working with high‑purity metals

High-purity metals like platinum, 18k gold and sometimes fine silver behave differently from lower alloys.

Attention to detail and high‑quality workmanship

Jewelry work is extremely small‑scale and visible up close. This means the candidate must consistently produce clean, professional‑quality results, such as:

Product Quality Expectations

• Smooth solder seams
• Even, tight stone settings
• Polished finishes with no scratches or tool marks
• Symmetrical shaping
• Accurate measurements and alignment

Attention to detail is essential because even tiny flaws are noticeable to customers.

Reliability and Professional Work Ethic

• Showing up on time
• Meeting deadlinesWorking cleanly and safely at the bench
• Communicating clearly with managers or coworkers
• Handling expensive materials responsibly

Maintaining consistent work quality throughout the day
