Goldsmith

Trades

Goldsmiths are bench-level craftspeople who fabricate, repair, and finish jewellery by hand and machine — alloying 22K (916) and 18K (750) gold, casting wax models in lost-wax (cire perdue) furnaces, filing, soldering at 800-900°C with propane-air torches, setting stones (pavé, prong, channel, bezel), and polishing with rotary buffs before rhodium electroplating. In India the trade is embedded in the karigar economy — Mumbai's SEEPZ and Zaveri Bazaar, Hyderabad's Sona ki Mandi, Surat's diamond-jewellery workshops, and Jaipur's meenakari and kundan ateliers. Tanishq and Kalyan Jewellers run in-house karigar factories in Hosur (Tamil Nadu) and across Kerala. Entry into the trade is almost exclusively through family apprenticeship or 2-3 year ITI / GJEPC vocational programmes; formal degrees are rare and not required. A goldsmith is distinct from a jewellery designer: the designer conceives and CAD-models the piece; the goldsmith makes it physical — wax-casting, bench-setting, and finishing to BIS hallmarking + HUID compliance.
