Goldsmith`s trade in Macedonia
Ornamentation is as old as the mankind. However, as a professional activity, the manufacture of jewelry originates from the later period of the human development. Goldsmiths have been highly gifted and inventive artisans from time immemorial. The archaeological findings of the Macedonian soil to a great extent testify to their considerable skill. A lot of these findings are kept in the showcases of our museums as well as in foreign institutions.
