What is the difference between a goldsmith and a jeweler?
1 Answer

The difference between a goldsmith and a jeweler comes down to each type of artisan. Goldsmiths work exclusively with gold, producing jewelry out of the precious metal. Jewelers also craft jewelry, but they may use a variety of metals, including gold, silver, platinum and titanium. Some people also use the term jeweler to describe people who sell jewelry, even if they don't craft the pieces they sell themselves. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of jewelry.
