A silversmith is a craftsperson who makes or repairs objects out of silver, such as jewelry, dishes, or decorative items. They shape, carve, and sometimes engrave the metal.
“Silversmith” combines “silver,” the metal, with “smith,” an old word for a metalworker or craftsman, from Old English “smið.” The pattern is like “blacksmith” or “goldsmith.” It literally means ‘silver worker.’
