What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity in the jewellery industry where I can contribute to a creative, collaborative team, support streamlined processes, create quality pieces, and deliver exceptional customer service.

I've designed and prototyped jewellery collections at Sivana Diamonds, collaborating with senior designers on client projects and creating custom pieces around client ideas.

I manage production from design through finishing, using CAD software including Rhino and Matrix alongside casting, soldering, and stone-setting techniques. I also understand jewellery materials including metals, gemstones, and beads.

My background in business administration, office operations, customer interactions, and retail has strengthened my organisation and service skills. I'm excited to support a creative jewellery team by streamlining processes and delivering exceptional client service.
