jewellery engravertojeweller
A jewellery engraver already meets 37% of what the jeweller role asks for. The move turns on 10 required skills not yet in the profile.
37%
65.6/ 100
1 Share of the jeweller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jewellery engraver 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 4 of its required skills as things a jewellery engraver already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- ensure conformance to jewel design specifications
- mount stones in jewels
- record jewel processing time
- record jewel weight
What stands in the way is 10 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 19 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 jewellery engraver background worth leading with.
- already held perform wire wrapping handling and moving
- already held perform enamelling constructing
- already held perform damascening communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held mount stones in jewels handling and moving
- already held record jewel processing time information skills
- already held record jewel weight information skills
All 19 carried skills, including the 4 the jeweller role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 26 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.

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 adjust jewellery skill · sector specific
- 02 build jewellery models skill · sector specific
- 03 clean jewellery pieces skill · sector specific
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.
