Bench Jeweler

Ultimate Staffing is recruiting with a Paramus based client for a Bench Jeweler.

The desired candidate should have 2 to 5 years' experience as a bench jeweler.

The person should have hands‑on, practical experience working at a jeweler's bench. In day-to-day terms, they should already be comfortable performing core jewelry tasks such as:

• Stone setting
• Soldering
• Polishing and finishing
• Repairing broken pieces
• Working with small hand tools and precision equipment

• Knowledge of laser welding and torch techniques

Modern jewelry work often uses two approaches for joining metals:

• Laser welding
  : a highly precise, low-heat method ideal for delicate work, stone-in jewelry repairs, and high-purity metals. The jeweler should know how to set up the machine, control energy settings, and weld cleanly without damaging surrounding areas.
• Torch soldering
  : traditional method using a jeweler's torch. They should understand flame control, different solders (hard, medium, easy), heat distribution, and how to avoid overheating stones or metal.

• They can be softer and more prone to deformation
• They may require higher heat or more precise heat control
• They can show contamination or porosity if not handled correctly
• They may need specialized tools or settings
• This requirement ensures the jeweler knows how to avoid damaging expensive materials.

• Smooth solder seams
• Even, tight stone settings
• Polished finishes with no scratches or tool marks
• Symmetrical shaping
• Accurate measurements and alignment
• Attention to detail is essential because even tiny flaws are noticeable to customers.

• Showing up on time
• Working cleanly and safely at the bench
• Communicating clearly with managers or coworkers
• Maintaining consistent work quality throughout the day
• In short, they need to be someone you can trust with valuable jewelry and customer expectations.
