Jeweler Duties and Responsibilities
Generally, jewelers have a set of general tasks that they are expected to complete as part of their job. Based on our review of job listings, these core tasks are:
Design and Create Jewelry Jewelers create models of jewelry using wax or computer-aided design software. They should have the knowledge to cast the models in metal, shape the metal to hold diamonds or gems, solder the metal together, and insert diamonds or gems.
Examine and Grade Diamonds and Gems Knowing the four Cs – cut, color, clarity, and carat weight – for examining and grading diamonds and gemstones is a key duty of jewelers who are gemologists. Once gemologists have examined and graded a diamond, they write a report certifying its quality.
Clean and Polish Jewelry Jewelers use various cleaning chemicals and polishing agents and tools to clean and polish various types of jewelry. Because some of the chemicals may be caustic, jewelers also need to know how to use cleaning chemicals safely.
Repair Jewelry Jewelers calculate the costs of labor and material for new parts and repairs to customers’ jewelry. They also successfully repair various styles of jewelry, including resetting stones.
Appraise Jewelry Experienced jewelers determine the value of pieces of jewelry and write appraisals by researching the market and referring to relevant references, such as auction catalogs and jewelry reference books.
Jeweler Skills and Qualifications
Jewelers often handle caustic chemicals and lasers, so they must work carefully. Employers also seek applicants with these abilities:
- Attention to detail – jewelry and the pieces and parts that comprise it are often small and varied, so jewelers should have keen attention to detail
- Nearsightedness – because jewelers often work with small pieces or parts of jewelry, their vision should be excellent
- Manual dexterity – tasks such as repairing clasps, inserting stones, and soldering metal all require jewelers to be good with their hands
- Knowledge of jewelry trends – because jewelers are often responsible for designing and crafting jewelry, they should have knowledge of current jewelry trends
- Interpersonal skills – jewelers consult with customers in various ways – for design and repair requests as well as questions about specific pieces for sale
- Artistic ability – jewelers are often called upon to design and craft jewelry, so artistic ability is a must. Jewelers may also be asked to restyle pieces of jewelry, so they must be able to visualize how a piece would look with stones or rearranged pieces
Jeweler Education and Training
A high school diploma or equivalent is the minimum education requirement for most jewelers. Some trade or vocational schools offer programs lasting 90 days to a year that include courses on gems and metals, resizing and repairing jewelry, and using CAD software. On-the-job training for jewelers is also common. Prospective jewelers can work as a in a jewelry store or as a clerk in a jewelry repair shop and gain experience from a bench jeweler or gemologist.
Jeweler Salary and Outlook
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) lists the median annual salary for jewelers as $37,960, with a median hourly wage of $18.25. A jeweler in the 10th percentile earns approximately $22,240 a year (or $10.69 an hour), while the highest paid in the field make $65,140 a year ($31.32 hourly). According to the BLS, 37,700 jewelers are employed in the United States. Projected employment growth for this sector is -7 percent through 2026.
