Jewellery Maker

Jewellery makers are artists who use different materials to create beautiful and durable pieces of jewelry. They can specialize in a certain type of material or technique, like gemstones, metals or wire wrapping. The term is most often applied to people who create fine jewellery, but may also be applied to those who design costume jewellery.  A jeweler is someone who works with precious metals and gems to make jewelry.

Jewellery makers may be self-employed or work in a variety of fields, including manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing and teaching. Jewellery makers often work in their own shops or as independent designers. They may also work for a company that designs and sells jewelry.

The recent decision of the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) to increase the eligibility age for jewellery makers from 18 to 25 has created a lot of confusion among the industry.

The decision is not likely to have a significant impact on the industry as most jewellery makers in India are already above 25 years old.

Most jewellery makers in India are not just artists, they are also businessmen and entrepreneurs who work with their hands. They create stunning pieces that help them generate income and contribute to their families’ financial stability.

Jewellery makers are in a unique position to provide their expertise to the market. They have an in-depth knowledge of the Indian market and can easily understand what consumers want.

Jewellery makers are also eligible for a number of benefits such as tax breaks, subsidies, and other perks.

Some of the jobs responsibilities include: checking materials, planning designs, picking up orders and shipping finished products.

Jewellery makers are one of the most sought-after jobs in India. They have a lot of responsibilities and are paid well.

Jewelry makers have to be eligible to make jewellery in India. They have to be able to make all kinds of jewellery like watches, chains, pendants, bracelets, etc.

This job role is largely outsourced to other countries like China and Thailand where they get paid less but still manage to live a decent life.
