We are seeking an accomplished Master Jeweler & Custom Designer to join a dedicated private jewelry studio in Raleigh, NC.
This is not a traditional retail bench jeweler position. You will work in a professional studio environment designed to give experienced jewelers the space and concentration needed to create high-end custom jewelry.
There is no retail sales floor, no retail counter, and very limited direct customer interaction. Your primary focus will be craftsmanship, design, fabrication, CAD/CAM, and bringing unique jewelry concepts from idea to finished piece.
This opportunity is ideal for a skilled bench jeweler, goldsmith, and designer who wants greater creative freedom and the opportunity to work on one-of-a-kind and high-end custom jewelry.
Design and produce high-end custom jewelry from concept through completion
Create one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces
Perform advanced goldsmithing, fabrication, stone setting, and finishing
Translate sketches, concepts, and ideas into precise production-ready CAD/CAM designs
Use CAD software to develop detailed jewelry models and designs
Work independently while maintaining exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship
Collaborate on unique jewelry designs and special projects
Contribute creative ideas for new jewelry designs and collections
Experiment with new designs, techniques, and approaches to jewelry making
Take projects from initial concept through CAD, fabrication, finishing, and completed piece
Maintain high standards for precision, quality, and overall presentation
We are looking for demonstrated craftsmanship and creative ability rather than simply a specific number of years of experience.
The ideal candidate will have:
Strong experience as a bench jeweler, master jeweler, goldsmith, or custom jewelry designer
Advanced goldsmithing and fabrication skills
Strong stone-setting experience
Excellent finishing and polishing skills
Strong CAD/CAM design capabilities
Experience with Rhino, Matrix, MatrixGold, or similar jewelry CAD software
A strong understanding of jewelry construction and manufacturing
Excellent attention to proportion, detail, balance, and design
The ability to take an idea or sketch and turn it into a finished piece
The ability to work independently and manage projects from concept through completion
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
A genuine passion for fine jewelry, craftsmanship, and design
Your portfolio will be an important part of the selection process.
We encourage applicants to provide examples of:
Finished jewelry pieces
Custom work
CAD designs and renderings
Stone-setting work
Fabrication and goldsmithing
Original designs
Works in progress
Sketches or concepts
Your portfolio should demonstrate both your technical craftsmanship and creative ability.
This position is designed for jewelers who want to focus on their craft without the typical distractions of a busy retail jewelry environment.
You will:
Work primarily in a dedicated studio environment
Have limited direct customer interaction
Not work on a retail sales floor
Not be responsible for retail sales
Be able to focus on detailed bench work and creative projects
Have the opportunity to work on unique, high-end custom jewelry
This is an opportunity to take your bench jewelry and design skills beyond traditional repair and production work.
You will have the opportunity to:
Work on high-end, one-of-a-kind custom jewelry
Combine traditional jewelry craftsmanship with modern CAD/CAM technology
Develop original designs
Work on projects from concept through completion
Contribute ideas to new jewelry collections
Work in an environment built around craftsmanship and creativity
Grow your capabilities as both a jeweler and designer
Receive relocation assistance if needed
$90,000-$125,000+ annual salary
Compensation based on experience, craftsmanship, technical ability, and portfolio
Flexibility for exceptionally qualified candidates
Relocation assistance available
