This high-end fine jewelry store has been a client of mine since 2007. I’ve placed a few talented jewelers with them and they all come away saying what a great place to work this is. After 115 years in the same historic location the store moved down the street to its newly renovated larger location. I’ve seen it…it’s gorgeous! With this role you’ll get to do a wonderful variety of work…repairs, antique piece restoration, hand fabrication, show off your setting skills and prowess, etc., etc., etc. Never a dull and/or slow day, and the time will fly. Plus you will be very appreciated and treated like you’ve always wanted to be by your employer. So, if you have a strong pedigree of work experience, feel you’re on top of your game in skills, want to live in a coastal setting, have a humble attitude in your abilities, and want to make a great living…not calling me on this one is the worst thing you can do.
