Jewelry Repair Bench Jeweler


Location: Marco Island, FL (On-Site)

Target Start Date: October 5th

Schedule: Monday – Friday (5-day work week; seasonal Saturday hours)


Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Bench Jeweler who takes immense pride in traditional craftsmanship. You will handle daily customer repairs, store inventory modifications, diamond and stone setting, and metal fabrication. This is an ideal position for a skilled artisan looking for a stable, high-end environment with zero corporate red tape, reasonable hours, and supportive shop owners. Pay will be determined on experience and skill.


Primary Duties & Responsibilities

  • Core Bench Operations: Melt gold, roll plates and wire, perform clean solder joints, ring resizings, chain/bracelet repairs, shank replacements, and retipping.
  • Stone Setting: Perform precise diamond and gemstone setting across various styles (prong, bezel, channel, pave, and flush).
  • Restoration & Modifications: Modify existing jewelry (e.g., converting earrings, altering mountings) and restore heirloom pieces with meticulous care.
  • Precious Metals & Gemstones: Work expertly with 14k/18k gold (yellow, white, rose), platinum, sterling silver, diamonds, and precious colored gemstones.
  • Quality Control & Bench Safety: Inspect finished pieces under magnification to ensure structural integrity and flawless polish before customer delivery; maintain clean bench machinery and tools.
  • Trial Bench Period: Willingness to participate in a paid 1- to 2-day on-site bench test to ensure a great mutual fit for skills and shop culture.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Experience Level:  5+ years of hands-on bench jeweler experience (seasoned professional required; not an entry-level/apprentice position).
  • Technical Mastery: Demonstrated proficiency in melting gold, rolling plate/wire, laser welding/soldering, stone setting, and metal finishing.
  • Pride in Craftsmanship: High attention to detail, strong hand-eye coordination, and respect for both high-value inventory and sentimental customer repairs.
  • Adaptability: Comfortable working independently at the bench while collaborating closely with our store owners and staff.

Schedule & Perks

  • Schedule: Standard 5-day work week (Monday–Friday). (Expanded 6-day holiday hours during peak December -February season only).
  • Work-Life Balance: Store is completely closed during the month of September for annual staff recess.
  • Commuter/Housing Assistance: Flexible arrangements available, including potential access to an on-island apartment for jewelers commuting from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, or surrounding regional hubs.

Housing & Relocation Perk: Private apartment accommodation on Marco Island is available for commuting jewelers for up to the first 4 to 6 months to make transition easier (e.g., traveling in from Miami/Fort Lauderdale/East Coast FL) or relocation assistance options to be discussed upon initial phone consultation.
