    JEWELER: someone that sells finished jewelry to the public. 

    ARTISIN: someone that can make one of something. 

    CRAFTSMAN: someone that can make two identical or the reverse of
    something. 

    GOLDSMITH: someone that makes or works in gold and silver, jewelry
    scale (size) 

    SILVERSMITH: someone that makes or works in larger items like
    hollowware. 

    METALSMITH: someone that makes or works in various metals or size 

    LAPIDARIST: someone that cuts stones 

    GEMOLOGIST: someone that can ID gemstones 

    Quality has nothing to do with what one calls themself or what
    titles one places on their sign. There is no cut and dry point where
    or when someone earns this title. I know many people that call
    themselves (various titles ) and all thay have done is read a book or
    tried to make or repair something and BAN thay now feel that thay can
    wear that title. What a joke. Isn't this a great world we live in,
    THEN BYGOSH YOU ARE ONE.
