Jewellers design and make jewellery and small objects using
a wide range of materials including metals, stones, woods,
plastics and fibres.
Jewellers may perform the following tasks:
- create design drawings and specifications for wearable
or three-dimensional objects
- shape metal and other materials by cutting, filing,
hammering, turning, spinning, bending, casting, folding and
linking using specialised hand and power tools
- assemble articles by soldering, screwing, riveting or
otherwise joining components
- finish articles using files, emery paper, buffing
machines or other appropriate tools and equipment
- secure gemstones in settings
- engrave designs on ring settings, brooches, bracelets
and other articles
- repair jewellery by soldering, replacing or rebuilding
worn or broken parts
- remodel old jewellery
- sell jewellery direct to the public or to retail
jewellery shops.
Jewellers may specialise in making particular types of
jewellery such as rings or in using specialised techniques
such as enamelling, engraving, anodising or casting.
Jewellers may work using mass production techniques and
machinery, concentrating on one part of the work, or as more
highly skilled craftspeople producing an entire article from
beginning to end.
