The auditions are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 29 and run through Sunday evening, May 31 at the Courtyard Las Vegas South.

JTV said candidates must be willing to relocate to Knoxville, Tenn., where the company’s headquarters and studios are located. JTV also said that the candidates should have a passion for jewelry and gemstones, though “extensive knowledge is not required upon hire.”
Other criteria include being driven to succeed in a sales environment; being charismatic, energetic and engaging with the audience through the on-screen presence; and the ability to talk on camera about jewelry and gemstones unscripted for up to four hours.
