That would be awesome😊✌️

Hey Kabel. Bobby does great videos and you can learn a lot just by watching. Go check out The Diamond Mounter channel with Chris Bilton. He has been working for about two years making videos and instructional guides for jewelry making. He was a professional jewelry in London for 20+ years and now he is sharing his knowledge with the KZfaq community. He has videos on tools, techniques, design and loads more. If you combine Bobby White’s channel with Diamond Mounter, you will learn tons. Chris Bilton is just as critical about the fitting, symmetry, POLISHING and finish work. If you watch Chris Bilton describe what he is doing you will be able to pick apart how Bobby nails bespoke fine jewelry. But you have to have the motivation to keep doing the work. I’m a former military sniper, so I have a lot of patience and I’m comfortable sitting in the same place, doing the same thing over and over for extended periods of time always working on making my jewelry better. I’m also very good at learning just by watching other craftsman work. I will be honest. I never took a class, read a book or anything. I just bought the essential tools. Watched Bobby for a year and earlier this year I sold my 11 piece for over $10,000. Watch Bobby White and Chris Bilton; Bobby motivates me and Chris has given me the skills and techniques to make my own jewelry business that is on fire. I still haven’t had any formal training. But give me the time and I make one of a kind Bespoke pieces that I’m sure Bobby and Chris would approve of.

You need everything in this video except the microscope and the drill if you only want to make a simple ring. And there is still more stuff to get that bobby didn't mention. It is a expensive and precise craft you can't and don't want to cheap your way to it because you will see it in your work. The best way to get started is to go to school for gold smithing. If you mainly want to make jewelry.

I took a class at my local college. It was good enough to give me the basics, learn techniques and skills and give me access to the tools. Did that for 2 semesters before I decided to invest in the more expensive tools. You can develop by yourself after a class and the your tube videos will make more sense. Rio grande has a bunch of videos for beginner jewelers and artists.

@@thereisa that's so cool, i almost did the exact same. Only I followed a full-time study for 2 semesters. Sadly I found out it isn't for me, but i don't regret it one bit. It made me appreciate craftsmanship even more and I learned a lot of important skills from it. I also think taking lessons in a field like this is the absolute best thing to do since you can get instant feedback on your work and help with your technique which a KZfaq video can't.

Incredible story!

amazing

You are so welcome!

Well said. I never thought I would be in jewelery and still think how I got here. I’m glad I’ve been exposed to this world

@@lifeaddict would you say it's a lucrative field?

Amazing! Love to hear it

Usually for bespoke you're limited to your local market as people would want to come by to have a discussion. Ready made you can go global easily

@@Johnne009 That was very useful actually thank you!

Any time!

Amazing to hear, best of luck!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching!

@@BobbyWhite You're welcome, Bobby.

I assume propane/ oxygen

I used to have people say that to me about my pottery, and eventually I just started telling people that "my books are closed, sorry." I make things that I think are good and sell them at shows or online, and never under price my work.

YEAH! You should try yourself! What could go wrong!

you can get a ring resized easily at pretty much any jewelry store. i’m not 100% sure about the price but it’ll be under $100 for sure so it’s definitely worth it. if its very sentimental and depending on how much metal is removed you could ask the jeweler to save that metal and make something else for you like a little pendant or something(for a price obv).

@@colincarpenter3898 Hope the one writing that comment really take your advice, since it's so cheap to get a ring refitted and doing it by your self without training (and the right tools) is nothing but pure madness, especially when it's an heirloom.

Looks like a grobet, perhaps with replaced thumb screws giving more leverage.
