A little bit about us at Melanie Casey:
Our fine jewelry collection is entirely handmade in our Andover, Mass. studio. We work in 14k gold right now and occasionally work with platinum. Our shop is very small, but we are growing rapidly. Training will be provided, led by our highly skilled head jeweler who has many years of experience and an impressive background. We believe in the benefits of technology and quality tools to produce the best possible quality of craftsmanship, so our jewelers have access to some of the best technology in the industry. We operate in a paperless environment with each jeweler working from their own dedicated iPad, and we are always looking to become more streamlined and productive.
The bench jewelry position will be full time, 40 hours, Monday – Friday. Optional overtime is typically available. Pay rate will range based on experience. Full benefits, including health insurance, paid time off and retirement plan with match, are available for all employees.
Tasks of the job include removing sprues, grinding and cleaning up castings, and hand polishing initially. We do not have a polishing buff, so nobody ever gets stuck at a polishing machine for the day! Since this is a production environment, cast cleaning and polishing will always be part of the job, but as the role continues, we will add more training. Even though it will take a long time, the ultimate goal is to have every jeweler trained to bring a design from raw casting, to sizing, stone setting, and polishing.
This position is ideal for someone who wants to be in production jewelry as a long-term career, and will be able to take advantage of the combined years of business and jewelry-making experience at Melanie Casey. We are looking for patience, enthusiasm, and the willingness to go the extra mile to learn a new skill.
A cover letter and updated resume are required to be considered for this position. In your cover letter, please let us know why you are a great fit for this position!
