An exciting opportunity at Lawrences Fine Art Auctioneers.
After many years of exceptional service to Lawrences, our wonderful Head of Jewellery will be retiring in February 2027.
She leaves behind an incredibly strong department and a legacy built on knowledge, experience, trusted client relationships and a genuine passion for jewellery.
While we will be very sorry to see her go, her retirement gives us the opportunity to carefully plan for the future and find the right person to continue building on everything she has achieved.
Importantly, we aren't looking to wait until February.
Our aim is to have the successful person join usbefore the end of 2026 , allowing for a valuable handover period working alongside our current Head of Department.
This will provide the opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of the Jewellery department, its clients, processes and upcoming sales, while also getting to know Lawrences, our wider team and the business as a whole before taking the department forward into its next chapter.
We are looking for someone with a strong background, knowledge and passion for jewellery , with experience and interest across areas including diamonds, precious stones, watches and related luxury items .
Just as importantly, we're looking for the right person.
Someone who is enthusiastic, personable and commercially minded; who enjoys working with clients and colleagues; and who wants to continue developing their knowledge and career.
We would particularly welcome someone who is keen to broaden their expertise into other areas of the auction world and become an integral part of the wider Lawrences team.
Based in Crewkerne, Somerset , Lawrences is an established fine art auction house with a long history, but we're also a progressive and forward-thinking business.
We continue to develop the way we work, embrace new opportunities and grow our reach while retaining the expertise, personal service and enthusiasm for objects that sit at the heart of a successful auction house.
This isn't simply about filling a vacancy.
It's an opportunity to work alongside an experienced and highly respected specialist, learn from the knowledge and relationships she has built over many years, and then bring your own experience, ideas and ambitions to the department.
We want someone who canrespect what has been built, build upon it and ultimately make the department their own.
