Silversmith

A Silversmith is a person who works with silver. Silversmiths not only work with silver, but with other metals as well to make jewellery and other items. Silversmiths specialise in the use of silver though, and it is the principle metal they work with.

Silver is cheaper than gold, and so is very popular with jewellers who are just starting out and cannot afford to make pieces in gold. silver has also become very fashionable, and is used frequently in more artistic jewellery pieces.
