About Berganza

Berganza focuses on rare and genuine antique and vintage jewellery. Based in Hatton Garden, the company holds Europe’s largest selection of antique rings, including pieces from Roman times through the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco eras. Each item is chosen for its originality, craftsmanship and natural, untreated gemstones.

Known for its expertise and trusted approach, Berganza aims to protect the heritage of every piece while giving customers a standout experience. In this role, you will help showcase these remarkable items through precise photography and careful retouching so that every image reflects the artistry, history and character of the collection.

The Role

Berganza is hiring a Junior Photographer & Retoucher to join its in-house creative team. Working from the Farringdon studio in London, you will help produce high-quality product photography and image retouching for the website, marketing campaigns and social media.

This position suits someone with a strong eye for detail and a genuine interest in luxury product imagery. As part of the creative team, you will create accurate, polished visuals that highlight the distinct beauty and workmanship of antique and vintage jewellery.

This is a full-time, permanent, onsite role. Working hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:30pm.
