About Petra Jewellery

Petra Jewellery has been #SharingTheSparkle since 1979.

We're an independent, appointment-led jewellery business specialising in bespoke commissions, remodelling, repairs and restorations.

Based in Basingstoke, we have our own on-site goldsmith and work with a network of specialist craftspeople.

We're a small, friendly and ambitious team who genuinely care about our customers and the jewellery we create. Every commission has a story, and we pride ourselves on combining creativity, craftsmanship and exceptional customer experiences.

The opportunity

We're looking for a creative, confident and commercially minded Bespoke Jewellery Designer to join our growing team.

Jewellery Designer first, digital content creator second.

Your primary responsibility will be to lead customer consultations, design beautiful bespoke jewellery, build relationships and convert enquiries into sales.

We're also looking for someone who enjoys creating digital content and would be excited to take ownership of coordinating and producing photography, video, customer stories and social media content.

This is a varied role with opportunities to develop your skills, contribute ideas and get involved in exciting projects, events and collaborations.

Your responsibilities

Jewellery design and customer experience

• Independently lead bespoke jewellery design consultations.
• Understand customers' needs, budgets and personal stories.
• Develop creative, commercially viable jewellery designs.
• Advise on gemstones, precious metals, remodelling and repairs.
• Build strong customer relationships and confidently convert enquiries into sales.
• Work closely with our goldsmith and production team to deliver exceptional results.

Digital content and creativity

• Capture photographs and videos of jewellery, customers and behind-the-scenes activity.
• Create and coordinate engaging social media content.
• Develop customer case studies, design stories and portfolio content.
• Help maintain the visual presentation of the studio and digital channels.
• Contribute creative ideas to marketing campaigns, events and new experiences.

Teamwork and organisation

• Maintain accurate customer records using our CRM systems.
• Manage appointments, follow-ups and agreed activities proactively.
• Communicate clearly with customers and colleagues.
• Follow established processes and take ownership of your responsibilities.
• Contribute positively to a collaborative and commercially focused team.

What we're looking for

Essential

• Professional jewellery design experience, ideally in bespoke or customer-led design.
• Confidence and ability to lead customer consultations independently.
• Good knowledge of gemstones, precious metals and jewellery construction.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Commercial awareness and confidence in selling.
• Strong organisation, attention to detail and IT literacy.
• Initiative, reliability and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Genuine enthusiasm for creating digital content and developing your photography, video and storytelling skills.

Desirable

• Social media content creation, photography or video editing.
• Experience using CRM systems.
• Experience with jewellery remodelling, repairs or restoration consultations.

You don't need to be a digital marketing expert. We're more interested in someone with creativity, initiative and a genuine desire to develop these skills.

Working arrangements

• Full-time, permanent position.
• Tuesday to Saturday working pattern.
• Some later Wednesday evenings on a rota.
• Occasional out-of-hours events, approximately once a month.
• Based at our studio in Basingstoke; this is not a remote position.
• Starting salary £30,000–£34,000 depending on experience.
• Preferred start date after Christmas, with flexibility for the right candidate.

Our recruitment process

We recruit for both capability and character.

Jewellery design experience and confidence with customers are essential, alongside creativity, initiative, reliability and values that align with our team.

Our process includes:

• Email application, followed by a short questionnaire and our Brand Bible for shortlisted candidates.
• An informal 20-minute Zoom conversation.
• An on-site interview with practical exercises.
• A half-day visit with the Petra team for the final two candidates.
