Job Summary
DDNY QC Specialist is responsible for inspecting all pieces at various stages of production—from casting and assembly to final polish and stone setting. The goal is to ensure every item meets strict aesthetic, structural, and technical standards before delivery to the client or retail floor.
Responsibilities- Stone Setting:
Verify the security of all stones (prongs, bezels, channels). Ensure stones are level, properly oriented, and free of chips or gray areas. - Metal Finishing:
Inspect for porosity, scratches, tool marks, or uneven polishing. Ensure plating (e.g., Rhodium) is uniform and high‑luster. - Structural Integrity:
Check hinges, clasps, and jump rings for functionality and durability. Ensure the piece meets specified weight and dimension requirements. - Hallmarking:
Confirm that metal fineness stamps (e.g., 14K, 18K, PT950) and trademarks are clear and accurate.
- In-Process QC:
Perform checks during the wax or casting stage to catch errors and minimize waste. - Technical Drawing Alignment:
Compare the finished product against CAD renderings or "Special Order" instructions for 100% accuracy. - Lab-Grown/Natural Screening:
Use detection equipment to verify that the melee and center stones match the diamond parcel specifications.
- Defect Tracking:
Maintain logs of common failures (e.g., casting porosity or loose stones) to identify training needs for bench jewelers. - Reject Management:
Communicate reasons for rejection to the production team and oversee the re‑work process.
- Proven industry experience: minimum 2 years.
- Expert eye: high proficiency using a 10x loupe and microscope for extended periods.
- Technical knowledge: deep understanding of jewelry construction, including soldering, laser welding, and various setting styles (Pavé, micro‑set, etc.).
- Industry standards: knowledge of GIA/IGI grading standards and precious metal tolerances.
- Detail obsession: ability to spot microscopic flaws that could affect long‑term wearability.
Base pay $22-$25/hr (may vary depending on geographic region, internal equity, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience).
