what's up everyone this video is going
to be a complete step-by-step guide and
have to start a real jewelry business
you will learn how to is made from start
to finish we will talk about what is the
correct way to start this business and
also we're gonna talk about some of the
mistakes so warning before we begin I
want to talk about some of the
misconceptions about this business the
first misconception is that you need to
go to jewelry school and get a special
education this couldn't be further from
the truth you don't need any of that you
will learn everything you need to know
in this video you also don't need any
business licenses or permits you just
need a little bit of cash second this is
a very easy business to get into
don't get intimidated because you're
dealing with real gold and diamonds
third you do not need to have any of
your own gold or diamonds all of this is
purchased in the jewelry district
you can start with as little as a few
hundred dollars the jewelry business is
a very safe business probably one of the
safest businesses to get into because if
you make a piece of jewelry and doesn't
sell you can always melt the gold and
take diamonds out and make another piece
labor for jewelry is extremely cheap so
your loss of the minimum the markup on
jewelry is always at least 100 to 500
percent so you can make a lot of money
in this business this is also a very
simple business learn people in the
jewelry this should make a jewelry for
you you can go downtown and make your
first piece of jewelry today alright
guys so let's begin the first thing you
need to do is find the Jewelry District
in your city every major city in America
has a Jewelry District this is a part of
the city that takes up several blocks
and has a bunch of jewelry stores and
small privately owned jewelry
manufacturers let's go in to Google type
in jewelry district and then name your
city and right here you will see the
address of your local jeweler edition
just so you guys know that LA and New
York have some of the largest jewelry
districts in the US the next step is to
actually go down to the district when
you get there you will see a bunch of
large buildings on top be the factories
where all the jewelry is manufactured
and on the bottom will be the retail
stores or the jewelry sold there are six
steps in making jewelry you will go to a
different factory for each that the
first step is designing the jewelry in a
special 3d program the second step is to
print the 3d wax for the special 3d
printer the third step is to take your
printed 3d wax and turn it into gold
this is called casting
the fourth step is to file in sand and
polish down the casted piece the fifth
step is setting diamonds into the piece
and the sixth and final step is to do
the final polishing and finishing of the
piece let's talk about gold pure gold or
24 karat gold is 999.9 gold and it's
always yellow in color the problem of 24
karat gold is that it is too soft to
make jewelry with so gold is mixed with
other alloys such as silver and copper
to make jewelry
the higher the karat the higher the
amount of gold is in the piece the most
common types of carrots are 10 karat 14
karat and 18 karat gold anything under
10 carats is legally not considered gold
in the US the more gold that is in the
piece the richer the color 10 karat gold
has 41.7% gold 14 karat gold has 58.3%
gold 18 karat has 75% gold gold jewelry
is made in three colors white gold
yellow gold and rose gold mixing more
platinum silver palladium with pure gold
will make it look white adding more
copper will make it look pink or rose
white build will have to be rhodium
plated because when casted it will not
look bright white we will talk more
about this later once these metals are
melted together they cannot be separated
gold jewellery can be tested to verify
the amount of pure gold or gold karat
several different ways the cheapest way
to test gold is to buy an acid kit on
the website like eBay this kit will have
a scratch pad and the bottom will liquid
for every karats you will scratch a
piece of jewelry on the scratch pad and
pour a small amount of liquid from the
bottle of care you're testing for if
some of the gold starts dissolving then
the amount of karat is less than what
you're testing for if no part of the
line starts dissolving then it has that
carat or more so for example if you make
a piece of 14-karat gold jewelry and you
want to verify that it is 14 karats you
will scratch it on the pad and take the
14-karat gold bottle and pour some over
the scratch line if it dissolves it's
less than 14 karats if it doesn't it's
more the more dissolves the
significantly less the karat after
you're done testing you can simply
polish the piece of jewelry that was
scratched to make it look new another
way to tell jewelry is to buy an
electric pen test kit and the best way
to tell jewelry is with a gold gun these
cost around $15,000 and will tell you
the exact amount of gold and other
alloys in your piece the good news is
you don't have to buy this people in the
jewelry this should have these and you
could test your jewelry for around five
to twenty dollars depending on the size
always make sure to scan your jewelry
especially for making heavy
is carat markings mean nothing it can
easily be faked gold prices change daily
the number one website to check gold
prices is called KITT cocom on this
website you will find the spot price
which is the price of one ounce of pure
24-karat gold alright guys we're gonna
go on a website called KITT cocom right
here you will find the current gold
price right here on the left gold prices
fluctuate just like stocks now like I
said earlier you guys will never need to
buy any kind of physical gold all the
gold will be purchased in the Jewelry
District but if you do want to buy gold
for investment purposes you can buy it
on this website just know there's a
premium if you do want to buy gold bars
or coins let's talk about diamonds
diamonds are mined in countries such as
Africa and Russia they are then sent to
different countries such as India and
Israel in their current and different
shades by special machines most diamonds
are then purchased by parcels by the
diamond dealers in the jewelry district
the diamonds then sold to the jewelers
in the district who make peace and sell
it in their retail stores diamonds that
have now been set in metal are called
loose diamonds when the jeweler needs to
make a piece of jewelry you will find
out how many loose diamonds he needs
what quality what size of what quantity
and then he will buy it from the diamond
dealer and make the piece let's talk
about the four C's the four C's are the
most important things when it comes to
diamonds the four C's are the color of
the stone the clarity of the stone the
cut of the stone and the carat of the
stone
now diamond carat and gold carat are two
completely different things diamond
carat is the weight and gold carat is
the gold purity the GI a is the chamalla
gist Institute of America they graden
certified diamonds this is usually done
only with bigger stones which we won't
talk about in this video we will only
talk about small stones grading small
stones is pointless because grading will
cost more than the actual stone is worth
let's talk about Diamond color diamonds
have different colors and their greatest
starting from the letter D D means
there's no color if there's no color the
stone is worth a lot more the more
yellow stone is - let's worth you should
always try to buy stones that are at
least D to H color let's talk about
clarity diamonds have imperfections such
as cloudiness scratches and pieces of
black carbon these are called inclusions
the less inclusions the better the stone
this is the clarity grading chart for
diamonds
it starts from flawless then goes to
internally flawless then VBS which
stands for very
slightly included then vs which stands
for very slightly included then si which
means slightly included then I which
means the stone has inclusions
inclusions can be seen with a loop which
is basically a small magnifying glass
for jewelry you will see a lot of
jewelers walking around with these the
more diamonds you guys see the more
you'll be able to tell the difference
diamonds try to at least stick with Si
quality diamonds basically everything
that's si are better or considered good
quality diamonds try to stay away from
eye diamonds stones can have different
cuts the way a stone is cut can make it
shine more or less stones can be kind of
many different shapes the most common is
round brilliant and carat is simply the
weight of the diamonds let's talk about
the point system and how diamonds are op
referred to as pointers for example a 3
millimeter stone is called a ten-pointer
because it weighs 1/10 of a carat 10 of
these will equal to one carat a two
millimeter stone is referred to as a
three pointer because around thirty
three of these will make one carat also
keep in mind that different stone shapes
will make different weights so two
millimeter princess cut stone will be
much different way than a two millimeter
round brilliant stone stones don't have
to be purchased in carats you can go to
a dealer and purchase one two millimeter
stone if that's all you need for your
jewelry piece so for example if one
carat of vs diamonds cost $400 and you
need to buy three two millimeter stones
you will be paying around $40 it's very
important that you guys find a dealer
that only sells clean diamonds which are
not blood diamonds you should always
take your time to find a dealer in the
district who will give you fair prices
some diamond dealers might try to take
advantage of you if they see that you
new to this here the proxxon prices you
actually paying per carat VVS $600 vs
$400 vs si $350 SI 300 $320
also the bigger the stone the more you
will be paying per carat so for example
if you're buying one carat of 3-pointers
vs diamonds you will pay around 400 per
carat but if you're buying ten ten
pointers of vs diamonds you will be
paying around $600
diamond prices do fluctuate but not on a
daily basis like gold when you go to the
diamond dealer you will see a few things
the first one is engaged this is a tool
that is used to measure the millimeters
and diamonds you will also see diamond
testers the way a diamond tester works
is you touch the tip of the diamond and
if the light turns green it's a real
diamond if it turns red it's not real
the diamond tester cannot tell clarity
or color it's simply the text carbon you
will also see a carat scale this is a
very precise scale that will tell you
the exact amount of carats
you will also see them and dealers take
their Parcells and pour it into this
tool right here which will filter out
the exact millimeters of the stones you
need let's talk about color diamonds
there are natural color diamonds such as
yellow diamonds and pink diamonds which
can be more expensive but also there's
something called treated diamonds a lot
of stones are treated to make them
different colors such as yellow con yak
and blue this is very common in the
hip-hop jewelry basically what they do
is they take diamonds that are not worth
a lot which are white diamonds but are
yellow in color which are bad quality
and they heat treat them to make them
different colors this is called HP HT
treating these diamonds are much much
cheaper and they're worth a lot less
they have very small resale value also a
lot of bad quality diamonds are
clarity-enhanced to make them look
better so be careful never buy these
diamond dealers are middlemen when you
become big in the jewelry business you
can start building relationships with
real diamond wholesalers such as those
in India and Israel there are a few ways
to do this the first way is to go on a
website called Alibaba calm let's go on
Alibaba calm we're inside the natural
news diamonds you guys want to stay away
from lab diamonds those are not real
diamonds hit search and right here you
will see a bunch of liars
you guys don't pay attention to the care
price you will have to contact the
supplier to get the real prices right
here will show which country the
supplier is in and how long he's been in
business never paid through Western
Union or wire transfers
you can place a small order first before
those larger orders always pay through
PayPal and the second way is by going to
the jck convention this is a once in the
year jewelry convention what
held in Las Vegas you can establish
relationships with diamond dealers here
and buy diamonds for a lot less to get
into this convention you will need to
manufacture receipts so for example when
you get a piece casted save the receipts
and then show it to the jck to get
admitted let's talk about the first step
in making jewelry this is 3d designing
jewelry is designed and one of the two
major jewelry designing programs matrix
and Rhino 3d rhino3d in my opinion is
easier and better if this is something
you guys want to learn to do yourself
you can download the program for free
you guys can learn to design yourself
and this is something you're passionate
about but I don't suggest you do this
jewelers outsource all of the design
work you guys can find 3d designers in
the jewelry district however I don't
recommend you do this because you can
easily find 3d designers on websites
such as fiber comm and CG trader let's
go on my favorite side which is CG
trader calm alright guys this is CG
trader.com on this website you can
download a bunch of 3d models they have
tons of jewelry files here so let's type
in diamond ring let's type in men's
diamond ring and you can see right here
a bunch of stop pops up you guys can
also click on free to get three files
well let's see what they have here let's
check out this ring right here and these
right here are 3d renders the software
designing program can render the piece
to show you how it's going to look like
when it's finished
there are different angles right here
this the price so to download this file
you would have to pay $50 this is the
name of the designer
if you guys want custom wear I'm done
you can click the hire me button right
here or you see this person he puts up
his vibrant is what's app and you could
contact him through here also you will
see right here how many diamonds this
piece has and the total carat weight
lets happen Cupid ring let's click on
this one right here
and so if you guys download this one
time you can resize it in rhino3d and
make your own size you don't have to
download you don't have to purchase
every single ring size individually you
could purchase it one time and resize it
yourself you can see right here the
approximate way so if it's Kassadin 14
carat golden turn away aprox in the 18
point 20 grams let's check out this ring
right here you scroll down you will see
exactly how many stones you need it's
270 stones and right here you will see
the approximate weight so 14 care will
be around 25 grams we cost design a
piece depends on how detailed the pieces
and how large the pieces but usually
expect to pay around 25 dollars the ones
the designers finished making your file
he will send you a STL or a 3d M file
and the file will be ready to print one
of the most important parts of starting
an jewelry business is building your
portfolio of 3d files the more products
you have for sale the more money you can
make really quick I want to tell you
guys how jewelry was made back in the
day back in the 90s and before that
before there were three designing
programs they would take a block of wax
and cut jewelry from it the piece will
then be casted and the rubber mold will
be made so instead of remaking the
entire piece from scratch the jeweler
would simply inject wax into the rubber
mold and then make as many waxes as he
needs
so basically jewelers would have a
portfolio of rubber molds rubber molds
are still used today to make backups of
things such as chain links it would be
too expensive to print each individual
link by itself you can go to any bench
jeweler and he will make a rubber mold
for you for around 15 dollars also just
know that rubber molds to shrink by
around 5% the next step is to find a 3d
printer in the Jewelry District you will
send us a picture with 3d file telling
the size of it arrange a price and next
you will email the 3d em or STL file and
get the wax printed the 3d printer will
then print your 3d wax file the cost to
print a 3d file depends on the size and
time it takes to print the file for how
much detail the file has but usually a
regular array will cost around 15
dollars the more 3d files you print the
more with discount you can get the file
will then be printed by a special
jewelry 3d resin printer in the very
fine resolution these printers cost
around $30,000 these printers are much
more precise than regular 3d printers
if you want to print your own 3d waxes
and your pieces don't have too much
detail you can buy a regular resin 3d
prints on Amazon for around $300 the wax
will usually be printed the next
business day and you will go pick it up
from the 3d printer you will pay upon
pick up when you pick up the wax be very
careful because it will be extremely
fragile inspected for any defects before
paying the next step is to take this 3d
wax and turn it into gold this is called
casting the process of casting is very
simple you will bring your wax at a
casting factory you will tell the caster
what color gold you want to cast in and
what karat caster will then put your wax
along with other wax from other jewelers
on the casting tree you don't need to
give the cast of your own gold the
process of casting is very simple the
caster will use a special powder and mix
it with the casting liquid
he will then put the wax into this
liquid after that he will put the liquid
in a special machine to take the air out
then this liquid will be cooked until it
assurance solid the waxer will then pour
gold into the cement and the gold will
place the wax the cement will then be
cooled off cracked and the gold will be
taken out the caster will then cut each
customer's piece from the tree and give
the piece to the customer you will then
come back to the caster in a few days
and pick up your piece the first thing
you will do is inspect your classic
piece running defects or porosity
porosity is little holes or defects that
cannot be polished off if you see any
porosity you will show the caster and he
will use a special laser machine to fix
it free of charge the most important
rule when it comes to casting is the
dollar fifty program rule you will pay
the caster dollar fifty program plus the
gold price for each gram for that day
use this website to get the daily price
of gold per gram per carat all right
guys let's go on the website called gold
calc calm right here we'll type in one
gram we're going to select the gold
purity of the select MKS in today's
price is 1600 we will click calculate
gold scrap value and this is the price
program so for 10 karat the price
program is 21:43 so it's a constant
we'll add 150 which is going to be 20 to
93 program let's go back let's do one
gram 18 carat gold the price of 18 karat
gold is 38 58 so if you're gonna be
casting 18 karat gold you'll be paying
40 dollars and eight cents per gram so
if you make a 14-karat piece which
weighs around 10 grams and the gold
price of 14 karat gold is $30 per gram
you will be paying the cast around 300
$15 you will give the caster cash he
will give you the gold piece I'll
receive and you're done you never pay
tax for casting jewelry so be careful
some casters might take advantage of you
if you're doing heavy pieces always scan
your jewelry right after casting really
quick if you guys are gonna be casting
jewelry that is two-toned
for example it will have white gold and
yellow gold you will have to cast each
piece separately and then weld them
together or solder them together also
some pieces will have galleries these
will also be welded together this right
here is a gallery the back seat through
cage piece and this is called the bail
back steps cleaning filing sanding down
and polishing your piece after you pick
up your piece it will not be shiny at
all it will not look like jewelry you
need to find a bench jeweler in the
Jewelry District who will make your
piece look like real jewelry the price
to clean your jewelry will depend on how
big and detail the jewelry piece is but
expect to pay around twenty to
twenty-five dollars be sure to try out
several different bench jewelers because
they all will have their own style of
polishing jewelry and some will do a
better job than others
cleaning the piece will usually take
about a day depending on how busy the
bench jeweler is after your pieces done
being polished inspect it and then pay
also just so you guys know when your
jewelry is being polished you will lose
a little bit of gold usually around two
to five percent the next step is setting
diamonds into your piece
there are many diamond centers all over
the Jewelry District you will take your
piece so Center and he will inspect the
piece and tell you exactly how many
stones the piece needs if you bring in
the piece and the diamond Center has to
drill holes and put small prongs into
your piece of gold jewelry you will be
paying 150 per stone if you bring the
center casted piece that already has
holes and prongs you will be paying one
dollar per stone prongs are for little
pieces of metal that hold the diamond in
place if you want to set stones in the
piece that doesn't have holes and prongs
you will tell the setter what size
stones you want to put if the piece of
jewelry already has holes and prongs the
process of setting stones is very simple
the diamond Center will simply put the
stones in and close the problems if the
piece of jewelry doesn't have pre-made
holes and prongs the diamond Center will
mark thus for each stone use a special
drill for that stone size and then make
the holes and prongs the Center will
then smooth out the prongs in small
little circles the diamond Center will
heat up a special piece of wax place
your jewelry into it and then start
setting stones when he is finished
he will get melt the wax and take your
jewelry out he will then clean your
piece of jewelry and give it to you
let's talk about some of the most
popular diamond settings pave is when
you have a bunch of round stone set
close to each other micro pave is the
same thing with small stones
channel-set is when the stolen took
place between two rolls of gold an
invisible set is when princess cut
stones are placed right next to each
other without any visible gold the
center will cut small lines into each
stone which will hold each other you
should try to give the diamond Center a
premade piece with holes and prongs
because this will save you a lot of
money and will look cleaner if you want
to remove diamonds from a piece it will
cost around the dollar 50 cents per
stone after you're finished setting
stones you will take your piece of
jewelry back to the bench jeweler for a
finishing polish when this polishing is
done the piece will shine and look like
a real piece of jewellery this polishing
is free you will not paint the bench
jeweler again also you can tell the
publisher what kind of finishing you
want there are many different ways to
polish jewelry if you are making white
gold you will have to get your piece
rhodium plated white plating cost around
$5 plating will wear off over time so
the piece might need to be replayed it
you can play jewelry in many different
colors such as white rose gold and black
if only certain parts of your jewelry
needs to be plated the jeweler will do
this with a special plating pen the
entire piece needs to be plated he will
dip it into rhodium you can also do PVC
plating on jewelry if you want a very
black look this is very common on
jewelry that has black diamonds and
sometimes rolex watches you can also
find laser engravers in the Jewelry
District if you want to do things such
as add company logos pictures or care to
your piece of jewelry the carat marking
can also be made on the 3d file or the
cast you can stamp one on it this cost
around $20 alright guys let's make our
first piece of jewellery we are going to
make a 14 karat gold Cuban diamond ring
first step is we're going to get a 3d
file second step is we're going to email
the 3d file to the 3d wax printer the
third step is we're gonna go to the
Jewelry District and pick up with 3d wax
the next step is we're gonna take the 3d
wax of the caster and tell him to make
it in 14 karat yellow gold we will come
back a few days later pay the caster and
inspect the piece of porosity you will
then take it to the bench jeweler for
the initial polishing we will then go to
the diamond center and have him confirm
the diamond sizes are correct he will
make us solicita diamonds needed and we
will go buy the diamonds after that we
will drop off the diamonds to the
diamond Center and come back in a few
days when he's finished setting diamonds
after this we'll take the piece and
bring it back to the bench jeweler for a
final polishing so for this piece will
be using Si diamonds the total
carat weight is point 95 the price per
carat for SI diamonds is $320 so that
means our total is $304 four point
ninety five carats there's a total of
three hundred twelve stones being set in
this ring and we're paying one dollar
per stone because it already has holes
and prongs so the total premium diamond
siders $312 since we're making this
piece in yellow gold it will not be
plated so let's see how much it cost us
to make this ring we paid $28 for the 3d
file fifteen dollars to print a 3d wax
we paid 600 $14.25 for casting the piece
weight of nineteen point five grams
multiplied by 31 point five and that's
six 1425 we paid $15 for polishing we
will not have to pay for the final
polishing so the total cost to make your
piece is 1280 $8.25
let's talk about findings the findings
are little pieces such as earring screws
that are too much of a problem to make
there will be stores in the jewelry
district that's so accessory such as
this so if you guys are making jewelry
like earrings you only have to catch the
main piece you don't have to make the
backings in the screws you will simply
buy the backings and screws and the
bench jeweler will solder it right
that's every Jewelry District is gonna
have a store that sells finding these
findings are basically little
accessories which you don't want to
catch yourself such as chain logs and
earring backings you can buy things such
as chain locks and other small
accessories from these stories also you
could buy jewelry packaging and other
things you might need for your business
let's talk about how to make human
chains we will go to see GG trader.com
and buy the files you will then resize
the files to the millimeter size we want
and rhino3d we will then print one 3d
file with the link open and one more the
link closed
we will also print all of the parts of
the lock we will then cast all of these
pieces and make rubber molds for each
one this is much cheaper than printing
each leg individually we will give both
the open and the close rubber mold to
the caster and he will make as many
links as needed part chain after all the
links are casted we will go to our bench
jeweler and he can soldered links
depending on the size of the chain it
will usually cost around 50 to 100
dollars to solder the links and power to
chain another way to do this is to weld
the links using a laser machine these
machines are also used to repair jewelry
the welder will insert both hands into
the Machine and with the microscope and
find laser he will weld all the links
together let's talk about how to
appraise jewelry alright guys let's talk
about how to replace jewelry before we
do I just want to say one thing I
haven't looked at jewelry on eBay for a
long time but there's a very serious gap
in the market these jewelers are selling
complete garbage I mean look at this
noise look at this ring right here look
at this ring look how this ring was
casted this is just completely
embarrassing look at all these flaws
right here look at all this and the
funny thing is that this is all selling
this ring just sold look at this ring
right here this guy didn't even bother
taking pictures he just Photoshop the
ring on the finger and this one sold too
by the way really quick guys when you
start your jewelry business I want you
guys start selling on eBay the first
thing you're gonna do is build up a
little bit of feedback obviously you
won't get to 8,000 but try to get at
least 50 and try to keep your rating at
around 99 percent the first 10 products
you're gonna sell are gonna be products
like this ring right here around
grams alright guys let's talk about how
to play jewelry so this ring right here
is 14 carats let's say right now the
price of 14 carats program is $30
so what casting each gram will cost is
$31.50 this ring weighs 5.3 grams times
31 50 that's 167 dollars plus $20 for
labor so the total cost of this ring is
about 186 dollars plus $15 for labor so
the total cost will be around 182
dollars and he's selling it for 280 and
actually he discounted his prices
because this whole economic situation
let's look at this ring right here since
1 the topic of Cuban rings this ring
right here is 8.2 grams a 14-karat gold
so 8.2 x 31.5 that's 258 dollars plus
$15 for labor that's two hundred seventy
three dollars and he wants 435 and this
one sold as well let's take a look at
this next ring so this ring has diamonds
it's 14 carats it has approximately two
point 55 carats of Si one diamonds and
it weighs 22 point eight grams it has
approximately 80 stones so let's see how
much it costs to make this so 22 point
eight grams times 31 point five that's
718 then we'll calculate the price of
diamonds two point fifty five times
three hundred twenty per carat that's
eight sixteen plus eighty dollars to set
the stones and let's say 25 dollars for
labor so the total cost to make this
ring is approximately one thousand six
hundred thirty-nine dollars and he's
selling it for he wants three thousand
for it let's talk about how to take
orders for custom pieces this is
definitely something you guys will not
be doing in the beginning you will only
be doing this when you have a lot of
experience and when you will visually be
able to tell how much it costs to make a
piece do not try to make custom pieces
when you're first starting out also in
many cases you will need to have a lot
of money to make custom pieces the
profit margins on custom pieces is
usually around two hundred percent so
the deposit you will take is going to be
the full amount that it will cost it to
make the piece you will have to show the
customer each part of making the custom
piece you will start by getting the 3d
design done when your customer approves
a 3d design you will then go to the 3d
wax part you will then print the 3d wax
and show pictures to the customer if he
approves you will then continue making
the piece when the
peace is finished you will show pictures
to the customer to get the final
approval
let's talk about customizing watches if
you guys want your watch to maintain
value the best thing you could do is not
to add any aftermarket parts or diamonds
to the watch anytime any aftermarket
diamonds are set on the watch regardless
of the quality that the watch loses
value if you guys decide to customize
watches the process is very simple you
will first take the watch to a watch
repair guy and have him disassemble the
watch you will then take the watch to a
diamond center and set diamonds you will
be paying one dollar and fifty cents to
set each stone and one dollar to set
stones into the bezel if you will be
setting stones and stainless steel
watches you have to be more careful
because with gold if the center makes a
mistake he can melt it down and correct
it with steel it's much more difficult
so make sure you're only working with
very experienced diamond setters it is
okay to get custom aftermarket dials and
make aftermarket bezels these parts can
be replaced back with the original parts
the process of making a bezel is very
simple is the exact same as making any
piece of jewelry you will find out the
inside width of the watch and to make
the bezel in a 3d program you will then
print and cast it also if you add any
aftermarket parts or rolex watch for add
diamonds to the watch you will not be
able to service the watch let's talk
about how to build the business alright
guys so the first thing you're gonna do
as soon as you make a piece of jewelry
is to take professional photographs this
is one of the most important things do
not do photos yourself you have to take
it to a professional simply type in
jewelry photography into Google and your
local jewelry this ship will have a
photography place this is one of the
main photographers for the Jewelry
District in Los Angeles let's take a
look at the website scroll down you guys
will have to take a bunch of
professional pictures the more pictures
you guys ordered the cheaper will cost
but usually cost around $10 per picture
you guys can negotiate the price if you
do a lot of pictures also what is
absolutely mandatory to do videos videos
also cost around twelve dollars let's
take a look at one of these videos the
videos will be short ten-second videos
if you're selling expensive jewelry
people need to see actual videos
pictures are not enough first thing you
guys will do after getting your
professional pictures and start selling
on eBay
it is very important to build your eBay
store with feedback
as I mentioned earlier the first pieces
you guys will be making are not gonna be
too heavy and I'm not gonna have too
many diamonds also I want you guys to
understand one very important concept
your photographs just like you 3d files
or assets once you guys make a piece of
jewelry take professional photographs of
it listed on eBay and sell it you guys
can then relist the product on eBay
without having anything in stock when
the item sells again you can go to the
jewelry district and make that piece
this way you guys can have a bunch of
professional photographs and have a few
jewelry business without having any
products and stuff also make sure you
guys never ship by USPS you should only
use UPS DHL FedEx shipping also make
sure you should express mail and always
get insurance the next step is to make
our website or Shopify store alright
guys it's going a website called if and
cocom this website is a perfect example
in the Shopify store so back in the day
to build a website will be extremely
difficult and cost thousands of dollars
these days you can build a website like
this and in as little as a few hours
also shop provides extremely cheap it
cost around $30 per month you will
simply upload your professional photos
here set the prices and your store will
be ready to go the next thing you want
to do is roll your social media this
includes Instagram Facebook and YouTube
it is very important to roll a large
YouTube channel this is a very good way
to get free traffic you will also make
your Shopify store to these platforms
and one of the most important things is
to run Facebook ads and Google ads
running Facebook ads and Google Ads is a
very important part of any online
e-commerce store and this is definitely
something you guys should learn and get
good at it is also very important to
collect customer email addresses and do
email marketing and the most important
part of the jewelry business is
reinvesting money back into inventory so
the worst thing you guys can do when you
start making a little bit of money from
this business is to start buying stupid
things such as Gucci and other
liabilities this is a trap that a lot of
young people fall into when you guys see
those privately owned jewelry stores
with a ton of inventory and you wonder
how they got it this is exactly how they
got it they reinvested everything back
into products take a look at this chart
dance
say for example you start on the first
month with one thousand dollars and you
make five pieces of jewelry each piece
cost you 200 dollars if you sell all
five pieces by the end of the month you
end up with two thousand dollars that
shouldn't be too hard to do you guys can
sell a piece of jewelry per day so now
you start a second month with two
thousand dollars cash again you make ten
pieces of jewelry each one were to
hundra
dollars you sell it and at the end of
the month you have $4,000 if you guys
keep doing this by the end of the year
it should be over a million obviously
you might not get there right away and
it's gonna take a couple months to learn
but this should be your target alright I
