Em Watson, Designer & Bespoke Jeweller.
What is your role here at Natalie Marie Jewellery, and how long have you been on the team?
Has your role changed since you started?
It sure has! When I first came on board I worked on the bench as a manufacturing jeweller, creating pieces from our online collection as well as engagement and wedding rings. After a while as our team grew I became the Online Production Manager, which means I was the person processing orders that came through the online store and managing their production.
I did this from 2015 through to 2017, and when Natalie went on maternity leave in 2017 I stepped in to help manage bespoke production while she was away, and have been doing so ever since. In mid 2018 I joined Natalie in designing the collections that we release three times a year, and oversee the creation of all of the master models for each of these pieces that we design.
