  • Proficient in soldering, polishing, stone setting, and general repairs.
  • Proficiency with standard bench tools; experience with laser welding a plus
  • High attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship
  • Ability to manage a variety of repair and setting tasks independently
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Familiarity with CAD software (Matrix, Rhino, etc.) is a bonus but not required
  • Dependable, professional, and eager to contribute to a positive, team-oriented environment

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly compensation ($30–$50/hr, based on experience and skill level)
  • Health insurance
  • Profit-sharing plan
  • Paid vacation and sick time, with additional vacation accruing with tenure
  • A supportive, family-focused workplace with a stable, long-standing reputation
  • Opportunities for growth, mentorship, and long-term career stability

At Van Sipma Jewelers, we value stability and growth. Our longest-serving team member has been with us for 28 years, and our average tenure exceeds industry standards.
