What is a goldsmith?

Career: Goldsmith

A goldsmith designs and repairs jewelry or other products made from gold. They may also work with other precious metals, such as silver or platinum. As a goldsmith, you work with clients to determine what pieces they need made, and you utilize tools such as a rolling mill or swage blocks to mold the metal into shape. Occasionally, an expert goldsmith works on art pieces for sale or to showcase in a museum.
