    It's funny, I am reading this book on the history of jewelry in
    America. And this same question of terminology was a topic in the
    mid 1700's as well. The book discusses goldsmiths starting to call
    themselves jewelers, and then other terms like manufacturing
    jewelers, retail jewelers, wholesale jewelers, jobbers, importers,
    artistic and commercial jewelers came along in the 1800's. There was
    a variety of terms as industrialization took hold. Interesting to
    see how much has remained the same in this trade. Resourceful and
    creative people just trying to build successful businesses,
    challenged by competition, access to materials, theft and an ever
    changing world around them.
