WE ARE HIRING

Jewellery Designer: Heritage, Hand Sketching & Gouache

₹5 to 8 LPA, depending entirely on your portfolio and capability

Shri Paramani Jewels | Green Park, New Delhi | Full time, on site

We are a heritage high jewellery house with a legacy dating to 1789, known for antique, heritage and culture driven pieces. Our work was most recently seen on Netflix's Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, and across leading couture and luxury platforms.

We are looking for a designer who does not just draw beautiful jewellery, but understands the history and craft behind it.

THE ROLE

You will work directly with the founders, karigars and the production team, starting from historical research and first concepts, through to hand sketches, gouache renderings and production ready design sheets.

• Research and reinterpret historical references into original SPJ designs
• Develop mood boards, motif studies and multiple design variations
• Produce exceptional hand drawn sketches and detailed gouache renderings
• Design necklaces, earrings, bangles, rings and other fine jewellery
• Prepare design sheets covering proportion, dimensions, stone placement and articulation
• Work with karigars to ensure every design is practical, wearable and true to the original vision

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Strong understanding of Nizam and Deccani jewels, Mughal and Rajput jewellery, wider Indian jewellery traditions, Indian jewellery making techniques, and Victorian jewellery
• Excellent manual sketching and professional gouache rendering, which is non negotiable for this role
• Working knowledge of polki, jadau and kundan construction
• A refined sense of proportion, balance, colour and luxury
• The judgement to tell reinterpretation apart from replication
• Knowledge of CorelDRAW, Photoshop, Illustrator, Rhino or Matrix is an advantage

Graduates of NIFT, Pearl Academy and other design schools in jewellery or accessory design are strongly encouraged to apply. This is not a CAD only or mass market design role. You'll be designing for HNIs, developing concepts alongside the founders and turning our loose stone inventory into beautiful jewellery.

An exceptional portfolio will outweigh years of experience. We are open to both fresh graduates with outstanding hand skills and designers with three or more years behind them.

TO APPLY

Email your CV and portfolio to [HIDDEN TEXT], including at least three manual sketches and three finished gouache renderings, plus your location, notice period and expected compensation.
