Who We Are Seeking

John Moran Auctioneers & Appraisers is seeking a Jewelry Cataloguer responsible for researching and describing jewelry and watches in both technical and aesthetic terms for auction, private sale, appraisals, and buy‑now platforms.

  • Preparation of condition reports
  • Assist clients with images, as well as further information as requested
  • Assist photographers in styling shoots
  • Assist with processing photo appraisals, as needed


Skills and Experience

  • Proficiency in gemstone identification and diamond grading using tools such as diamond testers, refractometers, and microscopes
  • Ability to assess the weight of mounted and loose gemstones and determine the type and purity of precious metals using an XRF analyzer
  • Possession of, or active progress toward, a Graduate Gemologist (GIA) degree
  • Demonstrated interest in expanding knowledge of jewelry and watch history, designers, and design houses within the modern marketplace
  • Excellent writing, research, and documentation skills
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem‑resolution skills; detail‑oriented and highly accurate
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams, with the ability to adapt to new systems as required
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively, manage multiple deadlines, and perform effectively under pressure while proactively identifying and addressing workflow, timeline, or operational issues
  • Desire to work cross‑departmentally in a team‑oriented environment
