A silversmith is a person who works primarily with silver. Unlike blacksmiths, silversmiths do not shape the metal while it is red-hot but instead, work it at room temperature with gentle and carefully placed taps of their hammer. Silversmiths not only work with silver, but with other metals such as gold, copper, steel, and brass.They make jewellery, silverware, vases, and other artistic items. However, Silversmiths specialize in the use of silver, and it is the principal metal with which they work. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...

Silver is cheaper than gold, and so is very popular with jewellers who are just starting out and cannot afford to make pieces in gold. Silver has also become very fashionable, and is used frequently in more artistic jewellery pieces. Silver also has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any metal.

There are several different types of silversmiths: Some are involved in the fabrication of the metals, where items are typically cut and then constructed with differing connections, such as soldering or riveting. Others work in wax and then cast their pieces using a process called lost wax casting, where the wax original is evaporated in a burn-out process in a kiln. There are silversmiths who specialize in forging and forming, producing pieces that are typically made from a single piece of metal that has been hammered or formed under the pressure of percussion or squeezing from a press, such as a hydraulic press. There are silversmiths who only make jewelery and there are silversmiths who only make utensils. This article is about the manufacturing process. ...


Because silver is such a malleable metal, silversmiths have a large range of choices with how they prefer to work the metal.


Traditionally a Silversmith gets its name from the production of "silverware" (cutlery, bowls, plates, cups, candlesticks and such). Only in more recent times has a silversmith expanded to work on jewellery, due to the similarity in techniques.
