A jewellery mounter already meets 51% of what the silversmith role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
51%
52.5/ 100
1 Share of the silversmith role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jewellery mounter 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 silversmith role treats 9 of its required skills as things a jewellery mounter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- cast jewellery metal
- clean jewellery pieces
- create jewellery
- develop jewellery designs
- heat jewellery metals
- jewellery processes
What stands in the way is 7 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 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A silversmith role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a jewellery mounter background worth leading with.
- 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 build jewellery models handling and moving
- already held heat jewellery metals handling and moving
- already held select metals for jewellery handling and moving
All 18 carried skills, including the 9 the silversmith role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 20 missing skills fall into 6 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 mount stones in jewels required
- required, not held pour molten metal into moulds required
- required, not held smoothen rough jewel parts required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a silversmith role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 metal and metal ore products knowledge · sector specific
- 02 mount stones in jewels skill · sector specific
- 03 pour molten metal into moulds 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.
