What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and client relationships in the luxury jewellery industry.

I am a creative and detail-oriented jewellery professional with extensive experience in luxury sales, bespoke design coordination, and brand development. My career has allowed me to blend operational precision with creative sensitivity, ensuring that every client interaction reflects elegance and artistry. I have successfully led teams and managed high-value projects, generating significant sales while maintaining exceptional client care.

During my tenure as Diamond Office Manager at Cullen Jewellery, I spearheaded the setup of a new office, managed bespoke orders, and created training programs that elevated team performance across Australian stores. My ability to collaborate with suppliers and coordinate complex logistics has been instrumental in delivering outstanding client experiences. Now, back in Edinburgh, I am eager to contribute my passion for craftsmanship and heritage design to a respected jewellery house.
