Title: Fashion Jewelry Sourcing Manager
Company: Kurani Live Enterprises
Location: New York, NY
About Kurani Live Enterprises
Kurani Live Enterprises is the parent company behind Aurora Jewelry, a premium fashion jewelry brand sold through live shopping experiences on Whatnot and TikTok Shop. Aurora brings a real, in-person luxury shopping experience online – every piece is chosen to feel elevated and design-forward, never commodity, at price points of $40–60+.
Behind the scenes, we own every step of the curation process, from evaluating manufacturer catalogs to deciding what makes it into the line, allowing us to deliver quality and design consistency at scale.
Join us as we work to bring premium fashion jewelry to a live shopping audience.
About The Opportunity
We are seeking a detail-oriented and design-savvy Fashion Jewelry Sourcing Manager to own catalog analysis and product selection for Aurora Jewelry. This role sits at the center of our product strategy – you’ll review manufacturer catalogs, evaluate materials and design quality, and confidently recommend which pieces are worth bringing into the line and why. This is a rare opportunity to directly shape a growing jewelry brand’s product assortment from the ground up.
This role is 100% fashion/costume jewelry – not fine jewelry.
The Impact You Will Make
Evaluate Product & Catalogs
- Review supplier catalogs and identify which SKUs can credibly support premium retail pricing vs. which read as commodity product
- Compare catalog items against AliExpress, Alibaba, Temu, and other commodity marketplace listings to flag overpriced or easily-replicated pieces
- Verify material claims — distinguishing genuine sterling silver from silver-plated brass, real gold vermeil from cheap gold plating, and natural stone from dyed glass
Drive Product Strategy Through Trend Insight
- Stay current on fashion jewelry trends — materials, silhouettes, finishes, and design details gaining traction versus falling out of favor
- Identify design differentiation that justifies premium pricing beyond material cost alone
Present Clear, Confident Recommendations
- Present recommendations directly to the founder with specific reasoning tied to design, material quality, and market trend
- Translate catalog and market research into clear, actionable direction for product decisions
What You Bring to the Table
- Experience in fashion/costume jewelry – brand side, wholesale, merchandising, product development, or retail buying all count
- Strong material and construction literacy: able to identify plating quality, clasp/finding quality, stone type (natural vs. dyed glass), and design/tooling complexity by eye
- Sharp, current sense of fashion jewelry trends and what’s selling in the market right now
- Confident communicator – able to make the case for or against specific pieces in plain, direct language
- Comfortable working with catalogs, spec sheets, and comparison research (Alibaba, AliExpress, etc.)
Got These? Even Better
- A strong passion for fashion jewelry – someone who shops the category themselves and genuinely loves the designs, brands, and details
- Familiarity with brands like Missoma or Freida Rothman
Compensation
$65,000 – $75,000 per year
Kurani Live Enterprises uses market-based compensation ranges, and the final offer may vary depending on the candidate’s experience, skills, and qualifications.
Benefits
We offer a competitive compensation package along with flexibility to grow with the company as Aurora Jewelry scales. Additional perks and benefits may be available and will be discussed during the interview process.
