What is the difference between goldsmithing and silversmithing?
1 Answer
The difference between goldsmithing and silversmithing is in the materials used by artisans. Goldsmithing is the process of shaping the precious metal gold into items, and most goldsmiths specialize in crafting jewelry. On the other hand, silversmithing involves making jewelry, tableware and other items out of the precious metal silver. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of gold and silver jewelry and decorative objects.
