How to Negotiate Salary for a Jewellery Job

In this trade, more is negotiable than the salary figure — and often more valuable.

Know the market first

Find out what your skill pays in that city. Negotiating without a number is guessing.

Lead with what you deliver

Output per month, wastage, the pieces you complete alone. Talk about value before money.

What else to negotiate

Accommodation, food, PF, payment date, overtime rate. These often move when the base will not.

Never do this

Do not accept a figure without knowing whether it is monthly or per piece, and who bears wastage.
