Squash Blossom is seeking a professional and experienced silversmith/goldsmith to partner with our gallery for jewelry repairs and custom work. Experience in sterling silver, gold, and platinum metals is a must, as well as stone setting skills to include faceted and cabochons.
Lapidary skills are a plus.
Familiarity with southwestern style and Native American jewelry is a plus.
The ideal candidate will have hours available to work on the sales floor as part of our staff. This is important to build strong professional relationships with the team, generate custom leads and answer repair questions. In-store hours can range from 10-24 hours per week.
We do not have a bench or tools for the jeweler to access, so this job requires your own studio to complete the necessary repair and custom work.
Our gallery is coming up on its 50th anniversary, with a long-standing reputation of quality product and outstanding service. It is important to us that our “in house” Repair and Custom Jeweler provide consistent, quality work in a timely and professional manner. Face-to-face communication and consultation with customers will often be required. Phone and email communication will also be necessary.
Hourly compensation for sales floor position will depend on experience. Custom/Repair work will be fairly and adequately compensated per job.
Please submit portfolio/body of work for consideration.
