A "jeweler" does not make jewelry a goldsmith does.Yes,it was a generalized question.You have someone who is experienced/trained and knows what he is doing,the vast majority of people who work in jewelry stores are not.

 

You’re playing semantics. I have no friends who go to goldsmiths -we all have custom jewelry that is made by our jewelers and yes, they’re obviously goldsmiths.

Sorry but in my world calling a jeweler a goldsmith is pretentious (NOT referring to how the jeweler/goldsmith refers to themself. No issue with that).

 

Hi! Just saw this thread and would like to help. I am foreigner who lived in Indonesia for 17 years now. UBS is a reputable jewelry makers here. The 700 marking that you see means 17k here. It is real gold and not plated. Hope this helps.

 

Thank you for the clarification, Emas, that helps for future reference. And with a name like Emas Asli you must be able to recognize your own kind.
(An explanation for the others, 'emas asli' is Indonesian for real gold.)
