Why join TJ Gold & Diamond?

Be part of making the finished piece

We manufacture jewellery in-house, from design and CAD through printing, casting, stone setting, polishing and quality control. Working within a manufacturing business brings you closer to the full process and the people who turn an idea into a finished piece.

Combine craftsmanship with modern technology

Traditional jewellery skills remain at the heart of our work. Alongside them, we use CAD, 3D printing, casting and chain-making technology. We welcome people who care about their craft and want to contribute ideas that improve how jewellery is made.

Work on pieces that matter

Engagement rings, wedding bands, bespoke designs and repairs call for precision, problem-solving and care. Your work contributes to jewellery that customers choose for important moments in their lives.

Contribute to a growing international business

With operations in Auckland and Houston, TJ Gold & Diamond connects New Zealand craftsmanship with an international customer base. We are developing our manufacturing capability and welcome skilled people who want to contribute to that growth.
