>>         To be a "master" one needs 4 years as a silver/goldsmith 

>         Hmm, I always thought it took 20 to 30 years to achieve master 

    I've met several people over the years who really were master
    goldsmiths in their 20's- just great hand eye co-ordination and
    skills- the rest of us have some of the range, but not all of it, at
    that age. One jeweler in Cambridge MA in the 70's comes to mind-
    made his own alloys and matching solders, was a skilled engraver and
    designer, a painter as well; not, however, a great business person.
