Jewelers and Precious Stone and Metal Workers

Read the full guide

Jewelers design and make rings and necklaces, set stones, resize and repair pieces, and some appraise gems. Watch and clock repairers take apart tiny mechanisms, clean and replace parts, and put them back together. Camera repairers fix lenses and electronics. The work is precise, done at a bench with magnifiers and small tools, often in a store or a small shop.
