Once you've secured a job as a jeweler, a professional certification will assure your customers of the high quality of your work. Jeweler certifications require that you pass an exam either on-site or administered by a self-appointed proctor. Certifications are offered through a variety of organizations. Depending on the organization you choose, you might earn a Jewelers of America Professional Certification from Jewelers of America, or become certified as a Registered Jeweler through the American Gem Society. For jewelers outside the United States, search for jeweler certifications available within your country. If your pieces are high-quality and your customer base is growing, you may wish to start your own business. You'll need to find a supplier or make your supplies by hand, decide on a name, and create marketing materials. Decide whether to run your business online or in a store. You'll reach local clientele in a store and raise your status in the community, and you'll have the ability to physically display your jewelry. Online, you'll have the opportunity to find customers all over the world. Get in touch with your chamber of commerce and Small Business Development Center to ensure that you're properly licensed to start your own business. You may prefer the stability and benefits of working in a large jewelry corporation or a smaller, pre-established store over starting your own business. Continue networking to make contacts in the store or corporation that you want to work for and ask about their application process. Ask for references from jewelers and supervisors at jewelry stores that you've worked at. Prepare well for your interview and be able to give concrete examples of your work and experience. This is a great way to continue networking in the industry meet merchants and sales reps who can expand your client base. To find these shows, read industry publications and check in with your chamber of commerce and national trade organizations. You can also get involved with organizations like the World Jewelry Confederation, which aims to promote and the jewelry industry worldwide and protect consumer interests.
Earn your certification. Start your own jewelry business when your customer base starts expanding. Get a job in a pre-established store once you've established a network and have good references. Participate in gem and jewelry trade shows.
