Jewelry Project Director turning symbolic ideas into meticulously managed bespoke productions for luxury clients and brands.
Russian FederationWhat I'm looking for
I help clients and jewelry brands turn meaningful ideas into carefully managed jewelry projects, guiding the journey from first conversation and concept to design brief, 3D model, production, quality control, certification, and final delivery. I make the process understandable, confidential, and professionally coordinated—especially when the future piece carries personal or symbolic meaning.
For independent jewelry brands and early-stage luxury businesses, I provide project and operational support across client communication, bespoke jewelry development, production workflows, suppliers and contractors, documentation, timelines, and quality control. I coordinate 3D designers and production specialists using Rhinoceros and ZBrush for model review and alignment, and I manage collaboration across precious metals and gemstones, casting, stone setting, polishing, and certification partners.
My operational precision is grounded in prior leadership experience, including more than 20 years managing VIP clients, complex projects, and international operations, plus COO and agency roles focused on budgets, contracts, compliance, cross-functional teams, and high-responsibility client relationships. With training in psychology and LVMH certifications, I translate emotional storytelling into clear creative and production briefs, and I’ve restructured workflows to reduce the overall jewelry production cycle by approximately 15% while improving 3D model accuracy without increasing costs.
