Jewelry Sales Assistant

An established American fine jewelry house

The opportunity

An American jewelry house retained us for this search — a name that has spent generations doing one thing, at the highest level. Modern in how it designs and sells, discreet about its name until we talk. Its boutiques are where people come for engagement rings, first diamonds, the pieces that mark a life.

They asked us to find, meet and hire sellers for three boutiques at the same time: Madison Avenue in New York, Newbury Street in Boston, and The Mall at Short Hills in New Jersey. This page is for Newbury Street — Boston's luxury spine, brownstones and regulars, a clientele that knows its jewelry and warms slowly. If New York or Short Hills is closer to your life, apply there instead; same job, same house. And here is the part worth reading twice: fine jewelry rarely opens to people who haven't done jewelry. This time it does. We're looking for sellers with two or three years in serious retail — fashion, leather goods, beauty, hospitality — people who have the feel for it and want to learn. The house will train you. If you've been on a shop floor wondering how people get into jewelry: this is how.

What you will be responsible for

• You welcome every client the same way, browsing or buying
• You learn the collections properly — the stones, the settings, the stories
• You sell, with taste, and yes, with real targets
• You build your client book and take care of it: follow-ups, thank-yous, invitations
• You look after resizing, repairs and engraving like they're part of the sale — because they are
• You share the daily life of the boutique: opening, closing, counts, merchandising

What we are looking for

• Two to three years in retail where service mattered — luxury helps, jewelry is not required
• At ease talking with people about the big moments: engagements, births, anniversaries
• Reliable on weekends and through the holiday season, careful with details
• You can get to the Newbury Street boutique without drama — tell us how when you apply

What the opportunity offers

• Base $50,000, plus your commission, plus a store bonus the whole team shares — benefits through the house
• Real training in fine jewelry from a house that would rather teach the right person than hire a finished one
• You talk to us, not a portal — we meet you, we interview you, and when it fits we introduce you to the house ourselves, confidentially. Skip the formal cover letter: three lines on why jewelry will do more
