A Career That Sparkles Starts Here!
What if you actually looked forward to going to work?
At Nelson Jewelry, we believe your job should be more than just a paycheck. It should be a place where you're appreciated, challenged, supported, and rewarded for your success.
We're a locally owned jewelry store that has been part of the Spencer community since 1928. We've built our reputation on trust, meaningful relationships, exceptional customer service, and helping people celebrate life's most important moments.
Now, we're looking for our next great team member!
No jewelry experience? No problem.
We can teach you about diamonds, gemstones, jewelry, and sales. What we can't teach is a genuinely great personality, a positive attitude, and the desire to succeed.
If you're outgoing, motivated, love working with people, and want a career where your hard work directly impacts your paycheck, we want to meet you!
Why You'll LOVE Working at Nelson Jewelry
Let's be real. Where you work matters, and so does what you get out of it.
Here's what makes us different:
Your hard work pays off! We offer competitive hourly pay PLUS guaranteed monthly sales commission opportunities. The more you grow and succeed, the more you have the opportunity to earn.
Cash incentives? Absolutely! We love rewarding our team! Enjoy opportunities for weekly cash incentives, special event bonuses, team challenges, and other exciting rewards.
Did someone say diamonds? We believe in celebrating our employees, too! Jewelry gifts, recognition, and special surprises are part of what makes working here fun.
We invest in YOU. You won't be thrown onto the sales floor and expected to figure everything out. We provide hands-on training, ongoing monthly education (and often more!), coaching, and opportunities to expand your knowledge and skills.
Real career growth. From jewelry and diamond education to professional sales development, we want to help you build confidence, advance your skills, and become the best version of yourself.
We celebrate success. Individual achievements, team goals, annual performance-based bonuses, and special celebrations give us plenty of reasons to recognize great work.
A team that actually enjoys working together. We're a close-knit team that works hard, supports each other, celebrates wins, enjoys team dinners, and knows how to have fun along the way.
A job with meaning. You'll help customers celebrate engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, milestones, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. You're not just selling jewelry. You're becoming part of someone's story.
What You'll Be Doing
Every day looks a little different, but your responsibilities will include:
- Creating an exceptional, personalized shopping experience for every customer who walks through our doors.
- Building genuine, long-lasting customer relationships based on trust, honesty, and exceptional service.
- Assisting customers with fine jewelry, engagement rings, wedding bands, diamonds, watches, and gifts.

- Maintaining beautiful displays, an organized sales floor, and a polished, welcoming environment.
- Continuing to learn through training, coaching, and professional development.
Our philosophy is simple: Take care of our customers, take pride in your work, support your teammates, and the success will follow.
