Jeweller
Description
A jeweller designs and makes jewellery from precious metals and stones, using skills such as sawing, soldering, forming, stone-setting, and polishing to turn raw materials into finished pieces. The work demands fine manual dexterity, precision, and patience at a bench, often with magnification and small tools.
Many run their own studios or workshops, balancing bespoke commissions and repairs with collections sold through galleries and shops. The craft rests on skilled handwork that resists automation, even as design and rendering tools assist the planning stages.
