Luxury Fine Jewelry Sales & Operations Associate

Company: Mystique Jewelers

Locations : Alexandria, VA (Full-Time) | Middleburg, VA (Part-Time)

Compensation : $50k – $65k Base | $70k – $100k+ On-Target Earnings (Base + Commission)

Company Description

Founded by Elizabeth Mandros, Mystique Jewelers has been a premier name in fine jewelry, rare estate treasures, and bespoke custom design for 35 years. With locations in the heart of historic Old Town Alexandria and Middleburg, Virginia, our sophisticated boutiques offer meticulously hand-curated collections from world-renowned designers and rising new talent. Backed by our newly expanded, state-of-the-art in-house goldsmith workshop, Mystique delivers unparalleled craftsmanship and a highly personalized luxury experience to a discerning, loyal clientele.

The Role

We are seeking a sophisticated, high-energy sales and operations professional who understands that luxury jewelry is not a necessity, but a profound desire. Mystique operates as a collaborative, "everyone works together" boutique environment. The ideal candidate is just as comfortable consulting on a custom diamond design as they are meticulously organizing a showroom case, maintaining store opening protocols, or managing client workflows.

What We Are Looking For

Refined Aesthetic: You possess a classic, distinguished style that naturally resonates with our high-end clientele and reflects the Mystique brand.

The "Follow-Through" Mentality: You seamlessly manage relationships from the first hello to the final pick-up. You are highly organized, detail-oriented, and ensure no repair, appraisal, or custom order slips through the cracks.

Master of Atmosphere: You understand the "theater" of fine jewelry from precise opening/closing security protocols to ensuring cases are perfectly curated, immaculate, and spotless.

Versatile Communicator: You have impeccable manners and the ability to educate a curious buyer, guide a browser into a lifelong client, and consult on repurposing sentimental family heirlooms.

Tech-Savvy & Adaptable: Proficiency with The Edge software is a significant advantage. You are comfortable with modern POS systems, digital clienteling, and text/email communication in a fast-paced multitasking environment.

Key Qualifications & Responsibilities

Consultative Sales: Proven ability to identify client needs, recommend exceptional products, and close sales in a warm, low-pressure, luxury manner.

Unmatched Service: Exceptional communication and active listening skills with a professional, welcoming demeanor.

Product Knowledge: A strong background in (or an eager passion to learn about) fine jewelry, gemstones, precious metals, designer lines, and care recommendations.

Boutique Collaboration : Ability to work collaboratively in a tight-knit retail team, including Saturdays and flexible seasonal hours as needed.

Operational Reliability: Extreme attention to detail, reliability in handling high-ticket transactions, and strict adherence to jewelry store security measures.

Experience: Prior experience in luxury retail, high-end hospitality, fine jewelry sales, or a related upscale customer-facing role is preferred.

Education: High school diploma or equivalent required; additional training or certification in jewelry, gemology (GIA), or luxury retail management is a major plus.
