Jewelry Case

what are average (entry level sales) jewelry store wages?

Does anyone know (appx.) what kind of $ I can make working in sales at a national chain jewelry store like Zales, for instance? Is the pay usually hourly or commission based? BTW I have experience in sales but none in the jewelry industry.

Probably just above minimum. I work in a mall and we have a Hannoush and a Kay at either end. I know most of the employees make roughly $9-$10/hr (minimum here is $8) and ALL of them complain that they don’t get nearly enough hours. For some reason it seems high end jewelry stores like to hire a TON of people and then give them all very few hours.

Walnut 'Lucky Dragon' Jewelry Box (India) $78.99 This handmade creation is offered in partnership with NOVICA, in association with National Geographic.Product features:Jewelry box carved with the sinuous beauty of a dragon from a single piece of walnut woodHandmade jewelry accessory features ancient symbol of good fortuneStorage box lined in velvet and polished with agate stone and waxStory Behind the Art:M. Ayub was born in the valley of Kashmir, known for its rich master craftsmanship tradition. Abounding with tall sturdy trees like walnut and chinar, Ayub's family business is walnut furniture. 'I have pursued this craft since I learned it in childhood. Militancy in Kashmir has done tremendous damage to the industry and we were compelled to open an outlet in New Delhi. Walnut wood products are completely carved by hand. The wood is obtained from very old trees, placed in the shade for dehydration for two to three years. No artificial color is ever used. They are rubbed with agate stone before a wax polish is applied. It is a colossal investment in time for each finished product. This is a dying industry due to political disturbances and the new generation, who don't possess the patience required to craft in walnut wood. I want it to continue, since past generations dedicated themselves to this craft.What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design.

The Global Videogames Industry (Paperback) $30.87 Over the last decade, videogames have become an increasingly important arm of the global cultural industries. Profits from videogames have not only surpassed Hollywood`s annual box office, but videogames have come to be seen as a important industry, offering potential for growth in a variety of countries.   The videogame industry has also seen some of the more determined moves towards convergence of any media industry. Relatively unhampered by the sorts of legal and regulatory battles faced by industries such as telecom and broadcast, videogame platforms have already made numerous inroads to convergence. One example, the Sony Playstation 2, offers not only the ability to play videogames but also, with a relatively inexpensive hardware add-on, the ability to connect to the Internet as well as the capability to play DVDs and CDs. This has meant that the markets that video games draw on have expanded beyond being `toys for teenage boys` to include high numbers of females and users over the age of 35.   At the same time, increasing numbers of university programmess have sprung up, focusing on the design of videogames, and a number of governments have begun to explore ways to not only use games for political means but also to develop their own national industries in hopes of taking a slice of the global market. Such moves have placed videogame production as part of the information industry with all its associated benefits and baggage. A view of videogames that sees them as an industry – even an information industry – must examine videogames as commodities geared towards producing a profit. Understanding videogames in this way impacts not only our understanding of them as a cultural phenomenon of them but also changes the way we must theorise them. In spite of this, there has been little attention given to the origins of the industry, its ties to other media production, or to its
