What is the difference between a silversmith and a goldsmith?
1 Answer
The difference between a silversmith and a goldsmith is what they make. While both types of artisans use tools to shape metal, the materials they work with are different. Silversmiths produce jewelry, tableware and decorative objects out of silver, while goldsmiths utilize gold, largely to produce handcrafted jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of gold and silver jewelry.
