jewellery assemblertogoldsmith
A jewellery assembler already meets 80% of what the goldsmith role asks for. The move turns on 4 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 24.2 of 100 · adjacent
1 Share of the goldsmith role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jewellery assembler 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.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A goldsmith role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a jewellery assembler background worth leading with.
- already held apply smithing techniques handling and moving
- already held electroplating processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held cast jewellery metal handling and moving
- already held smoothen rough jewel parts handling and moving
- already held electroplating metal materials engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held maintain jewels and watches handling and moving
All 35 carried skills, including the 12 the goldsmith role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 7 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.
- required, not held pour molten metal into moulds required
- required, not held cut metal products required
- required, not held characteristics of precious metals required
- required, not held metal and metal ore products required
- optional, not held design objects to be crafted optional
- optional, not held perform damascening optional
- optional, not held perform enamelling optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a goldsmith 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 pour molten metal into moulds skill · sector specific
- 03 characteristics of precious metals knowledge · cross sector
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.
