This is definitely a “shop-focused” store.  The owner is a life-long benchman, and believes you have to have the best, most advanced tools and equipment to do top quality work.  This store is definitely set up for custom in-house manufacturing.  Working for this store means you’re off at around 5:00 pm everyday, work with a friendly and helpful staff, be in a shop environment that is progressive technologically, will have the ability to continue to learn and grow in skills, and do it all 10 minutes from the beach. 
One more note…this area’s cost of living is very friendly and amenable compared to most gulf beach communities.  It is really kind of a “hidden gem”.  If you’re ready to throw away your snow shovel, this is one we should talk about.

Here we’re looking for solid quality bench experience with a strong emphasis on most all venues of stone setting, general to advanced repairs, and good custom design and manufacturing skills (no casting on-site).  The desire and ability to work with customers on custom (counter sketching a big plus), is an important part of the role.  A Tuesday through Saturday work week, and a non-corporate fun atmosphere to work in.

Minutes from the Appalachian Trail, this store epitomizes living in beautiful country.  Their previous jeweler was with them for 16 years (I placed them there), which says a lot about working for these people and the work environment.  Except for December you get one 3-day weekend off per month, and believe it or not…NO watch batteries!
