Summary

Having a strong interest in the Jewelry industry, I am a detail-oriented individual with a passion for jewelry craftsmanship.

In the previous role at American Jewelry, I gained valuable experience in repair, polishing techniques and entry level computer assisted jewelry design. I have successfully polished a wide range of pieces, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, to restore their original luster and brilliance. I am well-versed in different types of metals, and familiar with a variety of gems and precautions to be taken when chemical plating, and properly cleaning. I have a keen eye for detecting imperfections to ensure the highest level of quality in the final product.
