This family-owned retail jeweller enterprise has been trading since 1938 and has accomplished an exceptional reputation for friendly, attentive, and professional service. Their expertise covers a vast range of merchandise & jewellery trade services, and it is their resolve to continually build and improve across all areas in the years to come.
One arena that has always been a commercial strength is their own in-house workshop where they offer their clientele from far & wide first-class jewellery repairs alongside a prestige bespoke jewellery design and commission service. An opportunity now exists to join their business to further add personnel strength, craftsmanship depth & breadth to ensure that the influx of repairs and commissions are undertaken in a timely manner.
Job Role:
Working alongside a family member - their Head Goldsmith, this opportunity offers a fantastic platform from where your bench talents can potentially shine & gain recognition. The variety of bench challenges cannot be underestimated; alongside everyday constant jewellery repairs & restoration, there is the opportunity to design, create, and see through to completion one-off commissions that are regularly undertaken.
Increasingly, the business is seeing greater client briefings in full re-design & jewellery restoration, and as they possess in-house a CAD design facility, these client consultations are becoming more frequent. Requests for diamond and precious gemstone jewellery continue to be strong; for those bench jewellers / goldsmiths, the gamut of further manufacturing challenges really opens up. It would be expected that bespoke commissions could be briefed to you and handcrafted fully in-house.
Requirements:
The applicant should have professional jewellery manufacturing training and ideally have already proved themselves across several everyday bench disciplines. These include resizing, re-tipping, polishing, rhodium plating, stone replacement, and pearl re-threading. Although this is not an exhaustive list, if there are areas where our client can support your skill learning to be the best of class, they would happily undertake this personal training mission for the collective good.
This is an exciting moment to expand their workshop team, and applicants with well-matched bench skills who take pride in delivering perfect pieces time & time again would be very much welcomed.
To apply, please first send your outline CV, perhaps together with a short portfolio of designs / pieces you have previously made - the more early insight received, the better.
