Position Title: High Jewelry Designer: Collection Based Contract

Engagement: Per Collection | Fixed Design Fee + Royalties

About us:

Venara creates heirlooms, not accessories. Rooted in sacred geometry, classical iconography, and mythic emotion, our jewelry is crafted in gold and platinum only—never silver. Each piece is built for permanence, set with lab-grown diamonds and rare gemstones, and designed to hold meaning beyond the visible.

What we are aiming for:

We are commissioning a high jewelry designer on a contract basis for specific collections. This is not an ongoing monthly role, but a project-based creative engagement tied to each new capsule or ceremonial series. You will be responsible for translating Venara’s conceptual direction into timeless, symbolic, and sculptural designs—executed in gouache and/or CAD.

Responsibilities

Conceptualize & Design Collection Pieces

Create high jewelry collections (4–8 designs per capsule) in platinum and gold, integrating lab-grown diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and pearls and other various minerals.

Gouache Renderings

Produce detailed gouache illustrations that capture volume, surface finish, stone play, and ornamental detailing with artistic precision.

Narrative Translation

Transform abstract brand narratives—mythology, ritual, lineage—into emotionally resonant forms, not decorative clichés.

CAD Collaboration

Provide production-ready technical guidance or coordinate with our CAD team to ensure feasibility and alignment.

Fabrication Support

Guide choices around setting style, articulation, weight balance, and mechanism design. Every detail must serve both beauty and longevity.

Collection Presentation

Deliver finished design files, story-based naming suggestions, and design notes that support the creative pitch of each collection.

Candidate Profile

• Minimum 5 years of experience in fine or high jewelry design, with demonstrable collection work

• Mastery in gouache rendering is essential

• Understanding of precious metal behavior, gemstone constraints, and technical execution

• Style sensibility: sculptural, symbolic, timeless; not trend-driven

• Familiarity with CAD (Rhino/Matrix) preferred but not mandatory if gouache work is exemplary

• Ability to deliver on tight deadlines while preserving artistic integrity
