A silversmith is a metalworker who crafts objects from silver. The terms silversmith and goldsmith are not exact synonyms, but the techniques, training, history, and guilds are (or were, at least) largely the same. Being both much heavier and far more expensive, gold objects are typically a good deal smaller.
