A Jewellery Production Manager has one of those jobs that looks straightforward from the outside. The work is actually quite different. A production manager has to make sure jewellery gets made correctly, on time and within the expected cost. If there is a problem in casting, setting, polishing, quality or delivery, the production team usually has to deal with it.
That is also why the salary for this role can vary quite a lot in Mumbai. A person handling a small production team and a person managing an entire jewellery manufacturing operation may both have the title "Production Manager", but their responsibilities are nowhere near the same.
Current Mumbai job listings show this difference. Mintly has Production Manager openings across different experience levels, while current fine-jewellery roles are offering around ₹10 to 12 LPA for 6 to 7 years of relevant experience. Some senior Production Head roles are listed around ₹15 LPA.
Quick Summary
Key takeaways
- Production Manager salaries in Mumbai vary widely because responsibilities and the type of jewellery influence pay more than years alone.
- Typical Mumbai references range from monthly pay for junior roles to 10 to 18 LPA for senior Production Manager and Production Head roles.
- Core skills are jewellery manufacturing knowledge, people management, quality and wastage control, production planning and the ability to read CAD or technical sheets.
- To move to Production Head, learn production planning, costing, vendor and manpower management, and solve recurring production problems.
What Does a Jewellery Production Manager Actually Do?
A Jewellery Production Manager supervises the production cycle and makes sure different departments move an order from design to delivery on time and within cost. A jewellery order may start with a design and CAD model and then move through CAM or wax, casting, filling or assembly, stone setting, polishing, finishing and final quality control. A Production Manager has to keep track of these stages and make sure one department does not hold up the next.
Current Mumbai production roles specifically ask managers to coordinate departments such as CAD, casting, setting, polishing and QC, while monitoring production schedules, manpower, wastage, rework and delivery timelines.
If casting is delayed, the manager has to find out why. If the same quality problem keeps coming back, someone has to identify the cause. If production is falling behind, manpower and capacity may need to be adjusted.
That is the real job.
It is not simply sitting in an office and checking whether orders are finished.

Frequently Asked Questions
Salary ranges in Mumbai vary by responsibility and experience: junior to mid career roles are typically paid monthly (for example ₹30,000 to ₹1,00,000+ per month across 2 to 12 years), while senior Production Manager roles are referenced at around 10 to 14 LPA and Production Head roles at 12 to 18 LPA, according to current Mintly listings.
A Jewellery Production Manager tracks the full production cycle from design and CAD through CAM or wax, casting, filling or assembly, stone setting, polishing, finishing and final QC; they coordinate departments, monitor schedules, manpower, wastage, rework and delivery timelines and diagnose recurring production issues.
CAD knowledge is not strictly required to be a CAD Designer, but it is useful: senior Mumbai production roles mention working with CAD teams and reading CAD or technical sheets, and understanding CAD helps communicate design feasibility with CAD teams and avoid production problems.
Move beyond daily follow-ups by learning production planning, costing, manpower planning, vendor management, quality systems and process improvement; also learn to analyse production numbers, identify recurring causes of delay or loss and implement systemic fixes rather than repeated follow-ups.
