What is the difference between a silversmith and a goldsmith?

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.

What is the difference between goldsmithing and silversmithing?

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.

What does a goldsmith do?

What goldsmiths do is design and produce jewelry out of the precious metal gold (jewelry is a contemporary goldsmith’s primary specialty, but metalworkers who work with gold have traditionally created a range of both utilitarian and decorative items with the metal). To accomplish this, they employ a variety of hammering, turning, spinning, filling, plating and casting techniques. The first goldsmiths emerged during the 5th century B.C. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of gold jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.

What is the difference between a goldsmith and a jeweler?

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.

What is a silversmith called today?

How do I identify silversmith marks?

To identify silversmith marks, first try taking a close-up photograph of them. You can then use an online search engine to perform a reverse image search. If this doesn't lead to an identification, type a description of the marking into a search engine or look for a match on silversmith mark image repositories published by trusted online resources. Should you struggle to identify the markings on your own, consider using the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a large selection of antique, vintage and contemporary silver wares on 1stDibs.
