goldsmithtofiligree maker
A goldsmith already meets 70% of what the filigree maker role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 33.7 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the filigree maker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the goldsmith profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 30 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A filigree maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a goldsmith background worth leading with.
- already held perform enamelling constructing
- already held perform damascening communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held smoothen rough jewel parts handling and moving
- already held cast jewellery metal handling and moving
- already held maintain jewels and watches handling and moving
- already held mount stones in jewels handling and moving
All 30 carried skills, including the 12 the filigree maker role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a filigree maker role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 mark designs on metal pieces skill · sector specific
- 02 repair jewellery skill · sector specific
- 03 apply precision metalworking techniques skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
