Hi Folks

    I think I'm a jeweller that makes jewellery out of sterling silver
    (plus occasionally a few other things). The dictionary tells me that
    a jeweller can be a variety of things including one that just trades
    in jewellery and doesn't actually have jewellery making skills. A
    lot of people think I'm a silversmith but I've always thought that
    they are those that make larger objects such as bowls, trays and
    cutlery. I've recently been told that a jeweller that actually makes
    jewellery items is actually a goldsmith (even if they only make
    things out of silver). 

    Would be curious as to other Orchideans view on this conundrum. 

Cheers, Renate (currently undergoing a small identity crisis)
