    Jeweler

    Experienced jeweler needed for a high end jewelry wholesale company. JB Star is a Well established, multi generational firm with long standing relationships across the top retailers in the country producing all categories of fine jewelry. Candidate must be quality conscious and have proven abilities in all areas of production.

    The desired candidate should have 2 to 5 years' experience as a bench jeweler.

    The person should have hands‑on, practical experience working at a jeweler's bench. In day-to-day terms, they should already be comfortable performing core jewelry tasks such as:

    Soldering

    Ring sizing

    Polishing and finishing

    Repairing broken pieces

    Working with small hand tools and precision equipment

    Additional Skills:

    Knowledge of laser welding and torch techniques

    Modern jewelry work often uses two approaches for joining metals:

    Laser welding: a highly precise, low-heat method ideal for delicate work, stone-in jewelry repairs, and high-purity metals. The jeweler should know how to set up the machine, control energy settings, and weld cleanly without damaging surrounding areas.

    Torch soldering: traditional method using a jeweler's torch. They should understand flame control, different solders (hard, medium, easy), heat distribution, and how to avoid overheating stones or metal.

    Understanding of the complexity of working with high‑purity metals

    High-purity metals like platinum, 18k gold and sometimes fine silver behave differently from lower alloys.

    Attention to detail and high‑quality workmanship

    Jewelry work is extremely small-scale and visible up close. This means the candidate must consistently produce clean, professional-quality results, such as:

    Smooth solder seams

    Even, tight stone settings

    Polished finishes with no scratches or tool marks

    Symmetrical shaping

    Accurate measurements and alignment

    Attention to detail is essential because even tiny flaws are noticeable to customers.

    Reliability and professional work ethic

    Showing up on time

    Meeting deadlines

    Working cleanly and safely at the bench

    Communicating clearly with managers or coworkers

    Handling expensive materials responsibly

    Maintaining consistent work quality throughout the day
