Goldsmithing is a real craft, which means working with your hands and of course tools. Those help a lot.
“The blacker the hands, the more the jewelry shines.”
A goldsmith works not only with gold, but also with silver or other metals. A goldsmith makes jewelry and focuses on the small pieces. A silversmith makes utensils, such as bowls and candlesticks.
Since 2021 I can proudly call myself an aspiring member of the Dutch Guild of Goldsmiths.
Below you can see photos of big part of the work process of creating a 14kt golden ring.
In between all these steps I am sanding, pickeling and cleaning the jewelry.
