Fine Jewelry Sales Associate

Part-Time Sales Associate (Start Date: Mid-May)

Location: Bernard James Studio – Brooklyn, NY

At Bernard James, we’re redefining fine jewelry through craftsmanship, community, and creativity. Every piece we create is a celebration of legacy—designed to be worn, lived in, and passed on. As a Brooklyn-based brand rooted in individuality and storytelling, we believe that luxury should feel personal, not distant.

We’re looking for a Part-Time Sales Associate who shares this vision and wants to be part of building something lasting. If you're passionate about design, thrive in a thoughtful, high-touch retail environment, and want to grow alongside a creative, mission-driven brand—we’d love to meet you.

What You'll Do:

• Cultivate genuine, long-term relationships with clients—introducing them to the brand story, our signature collections, and custom possibilities
• Handle sales transactions with accuracy and care using our Shopify POS system
• Maintain visual standards and ensure the studio reflects the elegance of our work
• Assist with jewelry repairs, product demonstrations, and custom order intakes
• Support in-store activations and contribute to hitting monthly sales goals
  

Who You Are:

• 1 years of experience in luxury retail or high-touch client service
• Clear communicator with strong listening skills and a passion for human connection
• Genuinely interested in jewelry, fashion, design, or storytelling—ideally all of the above
• Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and dependable
• Comfortable working independently while contributing to a small, tight-knit team
• Excited to learn about the craftsmanship and care behind each piece, and share that knowledge with others
• Familiarity with Shopify, Google Sheets, and clienteling tools is a plus
• Available on weekends, with flexibility for additional hours during activations or events
  

Why Join Us:

• Craft & Culture: Work at the heart of a design studio that values detail, quality, and creativity
• Personal Impact: As part of a small team, your ideas and initiative truly matter
• Growth-Oriented: We’re scaling—and this role has real potential to evolve with us
