23carat is an antique and vintage fine jewelry and modern Judaica brand based in Los Angeles. We’re looking for a creative, organized, resourceful right hand to work directly with the founder across content, operations, product development, and sales.
This role starts part-time, with the potential to grow into full-time. We’re ideally looking for someone local to the Los Angeles area who’s available for regular in-person work and occasional events. That said, we’re also open to the right candidate working virtually or helping with specific tasks, so if that’s you, don’t hesitate to apply.

Responsibilities
- Social media & creative content: Brainstorm, film, and edit TikTok and Instagram content; help plan posts and bring fresh ideas to the brand.
- Customer communication: Respond to DMs, answer product questions, and follow up on customer inquiries.
- Cataloging & inventory: Photograph and catalog jewelry, record product details and pricing, organize inventory, and create or update Shopify listings.
- Product development & manufacturing: Research and coordinate with jewelers, manufacturers, and other production partners; track samples and timelines; and help bring new designs to life.
- Sales & partnerships: Research potential retail partners, assist with outreach, and follow up on sales and collaboration opportunities.
- Events & pop-ups: Help source opportunities, coordinate logistics, prepare inventory and displays, and assist with setup and selling.
- Day-to-day operations: Assist with packing, shipping, local errands, scheduling, and keeping projects moving.
Who we’re looking for
- A strong visual eye and an interest in jewelry, fashion, and design.
- Comfortable creating and editing content for TikTok and Instagram.
- Organized, detail-oriented, and reliable, with excellent follow-through.
- A thoughtful communicator who can represent the brand with customers and partners.
- Someone who takes initiative, finds solutions, and enjoys a mix of creative and practical work.
- Experience with Shopify, jewelry, production coordination, sales, or events is a plus.
You don’t need to be an expert in every area. We’re looking for someone versatile, eager to learn, and excited to take ownership within a small, growing brand.

We’re looking for a skilled bench jeweler to help bring 23carat’s concepts and designs to life, from first sample to finished piece.

- Production partnership: Estimate time and costs, source findings and materials, and keep projects on schedule.

- Proven bench experience in fine jewelry, with a portfolio of your work.
- Strong fabrication, finishing, and stone-setting skills with meticulous attention to detail.
- An appreciation for antique and vintage jewelry and how it’s made.
- Reliable, communicative, and honest about timelines and costs.
- CAD, wax carving, casting, or laser welding experience is a plus.
