7:30 to 5:00 weekdays with 1/2 hour for lunch equals four hours overtime every week. If you’re working a Saturday, you’re out of there at 3:00. Plus, you get paid weekly! This is definitely a “Shop Focused” store. If you’re good at setting stones, good with a laser, and a torch. If you like a relaxed atmosphere with no quotas to meet. And, like a big time variety of repair and custom work. We probably need to talk.

Big shop, LaserStar laser welder, separate polishing room, and a store that really treasures and appreciates their jeweler.

Laser, bench scopes, graver max, rolling mill, centrifugal casting, alloy metals on-site…according to the owner they have every tool imaginable!

This destination store carries Gabriel & Co, Verragio, Hearts on Fire, Romance, etc., with a heavy focus on bridal pieces. They use Geller’s blue book, Edge software, and their sales team is trained on shop take-ins. Nice to have minimal involvement in take-ins…right?
Jeweler hours 9:00 to 5:30, Tuesday through Saturday, you get a smock provided to save your clothes, and better than most they pay 75% of your monthly health insurance premium. With the U.S. average cost of living at 100, per one comparison site, this area’s cost of living slides in at 76.6. Might be worth a look here!

TENNESSEE
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!
Not only will the right candidate need to be experienced and comfortable with general to advanced repairs and stone setting jobs, they want this person to embrace and help with the establishment and growth of their in-house custom department. They outsource their custom now, and really want to bring it in-house. This is a great opportunity to let your custom juices flow. There’s a lot of “upside” with this position. I’m happy to discuss it with you.

SOUTH LOUISIANA
First opened their doors in 1933. Three generations later they own and operate three fine jewelry stores in south Louisiana. This company focuses on their shop and its services. The shop alone represents 20% of the company’s total revenue between repairs and custom in-house manufacturing (they manufacture approximately 40% of their stock merchandise in-house). This is one of the stores that puts a lot of value and regard in their bench professionals. Of the four jewelers on staff (at the time of this writing), one has been with the company 20+ years, and another 10+. Says a lot about the work environment.
LaserStar, bench scope if you want one, and a 9:00 to 6:00 work week (good chance your hours could be Monday through Friday with Saturday and Sunday off). If you have top stone setting skills, a nice blend of quality and speed in your work, and a passion for your trade, this may be the professional environment you’ve worked hard throughout your career to get to.
