I wasn't sure which field to put this in!
This is from a text on jewellery production. Joyería en plata, joyería en oro and orfebrería are listed as components of the jewellery-making sector.

He optado por poner una traducción que engloba el oro y la plata ya que el contexto diferencia entre "Joyería en plata", "joyería en oro" y "orfebrería", de forma que puedas poner:

silver work, gold work and craftmanship in precious metals.
