Help clients turn meaningful stories into beautiful jewelry.
InBloom Jewelry is actively searching for a thoughtful, creative, and relationship-oriented Custom Jewelry Designer / Sales Consultant to join our gallery team full-time.
Our work brings together artistry, craftsmanship, and personal meaning. From transforming treasured heirlooms into pieces clients will love wearing again to creating one-of-a-kind fine jewelry, we help people celebrate their relationships, milestones, and individual style. Our design aesthetic draws inspiration from the natural world, art, and vintage elegance, while honoring each client’s unique vision.
This is a client-facing design and sales position. You will guide clients through discovery, design decisions, and purchasing, then collaborate with our CAD design and goldsmithing team to bring their pieces to life.
The right person combines a strong design eye with genuine curiosity about people, confidence discussing budgets, and excellent follow-through. You should enjoy both the creative conversation and the practical details that turn an idea into a beautifully completed project.
What you’ll do
- Welcome gallery visitors and create a warm, attentive, professional experience.
- Lead custom-design consultations, listening closely to each client’s story, preferences, lifestyle, and budget.
- Help clients explore heirloom redesign, custom fine jewelry, bridal jewelry, and pieces from our collections.
- Develop and communicate design concepts that balance the client’s vision, wearability, craftsmanship, and budget.
- Intake, sort, and evaluate existing clients' fine jewelry for trade, repurpose, and sentimental value.
- Provide expert guidance in diamonds, gemstones, precious metals, settings, proportions, and design options using an existing framework of 350 original design models.
- Present customized design concepts and pricing clearly, answer questions, and confidently help clients move from interest to commitment.
- Maintain accurate consultation notes, client records, design specifications, approvals, and follow-up tasks.
- Collaborate with our CAD designer and goldsmith production team, providing clear project information and confirming feasibility and timing before making commitments.
- Keep clients informed throughout the process and manage questions or changes with care.
