The Ella Klein Internship

APPLICATION PERIOD: JULY 2026

This prestigious internship, a collaboration between Julius Klein Diamonds and the Women’s Jewelry Association (WJA), offers hands-on jewelry industry experience and the opportunity to refine your professional skills.

The internship is named in honor of Ella Klein, the matriarch of the Julius Klein family. Ella was a Diamond in the Rough, a person whose most positive qualities were hidden, and a wonderful Gem who only a few had noticed. She was not just a typical leader; she led by example, supporting dozens of special causes and organizations, benefiting thousands in our community and beyond. Her legacy of leadership by example will continue to inspire us, creating a picture of what's possible.

The Ella Klein Internship aims to uncover and enhance your underlying abilities, helping you become a leader in your own right. As an intern, you’ll gain invaluable experience from some of the best industry leaders across all tiers of the business.
