It's as good as you are, honestly. $6/hour is ****, but thats why you get commission. I did an internship this summer where we got 19% commission, and my average sale was for $900.

Honestly, sky is the limit, just depends on what kind of salesman(or woman), you are. I don't know anything about jewels other than that they are expensive, so I wish I could help you a little more. =[ If you have any specific sales questions, I can try to help you out.

As long as your are friendly and can upsell to people, you will be ok. People come to buy jewelry and your job is to make them buy the most expensive piece.

Just think about how many people are stopping by Sears to pick up some jewelry, especially with the economy like it is now. I say, stick with it until the end of the year at least. You will probably do really good around Christmas, but it won't pick up until the middle of November.
