Do You Light Up When You Help Someone Find the Perfect Gift?
Full-Time Sales Consultant | Nelson Coleman Jewelers
Maybe you're working in retail right now and you're good at it - but it doesn't feel like it means anything. Maybe you're in hospitality or customer service and you love the people part, but you're ready for something more.
If you're the person on your team who naturally makes customers feel taken care of, remembers their names, and genuinely enjoys helping people find exactly what they're looking for - we'd love to meet you.
A Little About Us
Nelson Coleman Jewelers has been a part of Maryland families for generations. We help people mark the moments that matter most - engagements, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and the quiet "just because" gifts that mean the most. Our clients aren't just shopping. They're trusting us with something important. And we take that seriously.
We're a real family business with a close-knit team, and we're looking for someone who fits that culture: warm, genuine, and proud of the work they do.
What This Job Actually Looks Like
- Welcoming clients into our showroom and getting to know what they're looking for
- Guiding them through our collections - from pieces at $100 to $100,000 - with patience and care
- Following up with clients over time and building the kind of relationships where they come back to you for every occasion
- Learning the ins and outs of fine jewelry and gemstones (we'll teach you everything)
- Taking care of our showroom and working as a true team player
Most of your day is spent with people. If that energizes you, you'll love it here.
You Might Be a Great Fit If...
- You have at least a year of experience in retail, hospitality, or another customer-facing role
- People tend to describe you as warm, attentive, and easy to talk to
- You enjoy learning new things and take pride in becoming genuinely knowledgeable
- You're organized, reliable, and comfortable with basic technology
- You want a job that feels meaningful - not just a paycheck
No jewelry experience required. We've hired people from all kinds of backgrounds and trained them into confident, knowledgeable sales consultants. What we can't teach is the genuine care for people that makes someone great at this job - that has to come from you.
What We Offer
- Hourly pay + commission - your effort is directly rewarded
- Paid, hands-on training so you feel confident from day one
- A path to GIA certification if you want to grow in the industry
- A tight-knit team that celebrates each other and supports your success
- The feeling of doing work that actually matters to people
How to Apply
Send your resume and a short note - just a few sentences - about a time you made a customer feel truly taken care of. That's it. We read every single application ourselves. Use the form below to apply.

REPAIR PROCESSOR
Location: Towson
Full-Time | Nelson Coleman Jewelers — Flagship Location- Towson, Md
Do You Love Bringing Order to a Busy, Detail-Driven Team?
Maybe you’re in retail or operations right now and you’re good at it — but it feels routine. Maybe you’ve worked in a service environment and you love the pace, but you’re ready for work that has real weight to it.
If you’re the person who keeps things running behind the scenes, catches the details others miss, and takes genuine pride in doing things right — we’d love to meet you.
A Little About Us
Nelson Coleman Jewelers has been part of Maryland families for generations. We help people mark the moments that matter most — engagements, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and the quiet “just because” gifts that mean the most. When a client hands us their grandmother’s ring for repair, they’re trusting us with something irreplaceable. We take that seriously.
We’re a real family business with a close-knit team, and we’re looking for someone who fits that culture: precise, dependable, and proud of the work they do.
What This Job Actually Looks Like
- Receiving, logging, and tracking every repair and re-imagination job that comes through our service department
- Coordinating work between our in-house bench jeweler and contracted services — keeping everything on schedule
- Providing estimates to clients and the sales team, and performing simple on-the-spot repairs like watch battery replacements
- Doing quality checks on every completed piece before it goes back to the client
- Keeping bench supplies stocked, repair reports current, and the department running smoothly
- Supporting the sales floor and customer service team when coverage is needed
Most of your day is spent juggling detail and communication. If that kind of work satisfies you, you’ll fit right in.
You Might Be a Great Fit If…
- You have at least 3 years of experience in jewelry repairs, gemology, or a closely related field
- You hold an AJP, GIA Graduate Gemologist, or Graduate Diamonds certification, if not yet no worries we will help you get there.
- People would describe you as organized, reliable, and genuinely thorough
- You communicate clearly — with teammates, vendors, and clients alike
- You’re comfortable learning and coaching others on repair processes
- You want work that feels meaningful, not just a job
What we can’t teach is the kind of care and ownership that makes someone truly great at this role — that has to come from you.
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly pay — your skill and experience are recognized
- Paid, hands-on training so you feel confident from day one
- A path to further GIA certification if you want to grow in the industry
- A tight-knit team that celebrates each other and genuinely supports your success
- The satisfaction of doing work that matters to people
How to Apply
Send your resume and a short note — just a few sentences — about a repair or service situation where your attention to detail made a real difference. That’s it. We read every single application ourselves.
Nelson Coleman Jewelers is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome and encourage applicants from all backgrounds.
