Jeweller

A Jeweller designs and creates pieces of jewellery using materials such as metal and gemstones. You might come up with your own designs or work with a client to plan and manufacture a unique piece. Jewellers make individual jewellery pieces but may also develop a collection of work. You’ll use techniques such as shaping and joining metals and preparing and securing gemstones or other items. Jewellers are also talented at finishing pieces using skills such as polishing, buffing and engraving.

Jewellers need to be good at working with their hands and have exceptional attention to detail. You’ll need to have strong collaborative skills and be able to communicate with other designers and customers. Jewellers need to be skilled in a range of techniques and be able to bring their creative ideas to life.
