I never thought that I would ever sell jewelry – but here I am an electronics and designer jewelry salesperson.  You see, I really applied for the electronics position, but as it turns out, the guy that sells you a plasma television, also sells you a diamond ring.

Perhaps it was my lack of research before applying for the job, or the blind eye I turned towards the jewelry case, but there it is.  I look at it as more of a challenge learning about the unique designer jewelry that we carry – I don’t mind getting paid to learn something new.

We learned today that out of all the jewelry that we sell, we sell more luxury jewelry than we do the cheap stuff.  Today we covered the major gemstones, diamonds, and how to size jewelry for the clients.

It sure felt like a crash course in jewelry sales, but it really wasn’t that difficult.  I think the real challenge for me will be to familiarize myself with the pieces themselves – the terminology that goes with jewelry will be easy to pick up.
