A jeweller is generally the owner of a specialist shop where watches and jewellery are sold. However, the shop itself is also often referred to as a jeweller. A jeweller should not be mistaken for a goldsmith, though. The latter makes the jewellery in his own workshop or repairs defective pieces or watches. The jeweller is only responsible for selling jewellery and watches, but he can accept pieces to be repaired and pass them on to external workshops. Since the job title jeweller is not legally protected, anyone can call themselves a jeweller. If you complete an apprenticeship at a jeweller's, you will then become a retail salesperson. Jewellers are an integral part of city centres and should not be missing from any window-shopping experience. But jewellers are also firmly established on the internet and help couples to buy wedding rings, for example, or husbands to choose gifts for their loved ones' birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas. At a jeweller's it is always easy to find the right piece and to be sure of its quality, no matter the price range.
