goldsmithtojeweller
A goldsmith already meets 78% of what the jeweller role asks for. The move turns on 3 required skills not yet in the profile.
78%
25.7/ 100
1 Share of the jeweller 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.
Why this move works
A jeweller role treats 11 of its required skills as things a goldsmith already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adjust jewellery
- build jewellery models
- clean jewellery pieces
- create jewellery
- develop jewellery designs
- ensure conformance to jewel design specifications
What stands in the way is 3 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A jeweller 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 electroplating processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held perform damascening communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held cast jewellery metal handling and moving
- already held electroplating metal materials engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held maintain jewels and watches handling and moving
All 35 carried skills, including the 11 the jeweller role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 10 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held repair jewellery required
- required, not held assemble jewellery parts required
- optional, not held perform wire wrapping optional
- required, not held appraise gemstones required
- optional, not held conduct jewellery market research optional
- optional, not held handle jewellery and watches insurance claims optional
- optional, not held sell clocks optional
- optional, not held minerals prices optional
- optional, not held precious metals optional
- optional, not held cultured pearls optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a jeweller role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 repair jewellery skill · sector specific
- 02 appraise gemstones skill · cross sector
- 03 assemble jewellery parts 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.
