Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">A goldsmith is a metalworker who specializes in working with gold and other precious metals. Historically, goldsmiths also have made silverware, platters, goblets, decorative and serviceable utensils, ceremonial or religious items, and rarely using Kintsugi, but the rising prices of precious metals have curtailed the making of such items to a large degree. Goldsmiths must be skilled in forming metal through filing, soldering, sawing, forging, casting, and polishing metal.&nbsp;</span></p>
