Jewellery Designer

A Jewellery Designer creates jewellery pieces for sale to customers. You might custom design individual pieces to meet a client’s needs or design pieces to be made in large numbers for general sale. Jewellery Designers may specialise in a particular type of jewellery such as rings or watches and you might work with a range of materials including metals and stones.

Jewellery Designers should be creative and be up to date with current jewellery trends. You should have excellent technical skills and a strong knowledge of design principles. Jewellery Designers should be able to work with customers and understand their needs. Customer service is important and you’ll need to be able to manage your time well.
