nice flex
'I don't have a lot'... So nicely organized, it's so satisfying, you inspired me to work more, so I can afford having so many pieces in my collection :) this is dream come true for every jeweller!
This is the best gemstone collection I have ever seen!!! 100% eye candy!!! I love your collection! Please keep making great videos! ❤
I don’t know nothing about gemstones. Thanks to share your amazing collection. 😊❤
You have the same problem we all have. You are in love with your stones so much you can't part with them. 🤣😂🤣😂👍👍👍👍 You have a GREAT collection too! 👍👍👍
I am in love with crystals and I must say you are a solid collector!! lady. A normal person can't be passionate about nature this way, you must definitely be a super soul.
Awesome collection! I'm so jealous!
I love your crystals!
Pencil drawers~~Thank you so much~~~^^ 😄😍
You are so generous to share your suppliers! Of course, one would need the skill and vision to use them, but some I would just like to have as my own. Thank you!
Totally agree! I think owning gems, even cabs, is for everybody if one enjoys them! :) If you think about it, they are beautiful creations of the earth, beautiful by themselves 😍 Thank you for watching!
Your gem stones and crystals are so beautiful
Thank you! Happy you like them :)
You are an amazing young lady. You remind me SO MUCH of my wife and myself. We sold our jewelery business in Las Vegas last month so we could retire. One of our artists has taken it over, so our dream lives on. You have a lovely presentation style! Your camera work is also AMAZING. Have you ever heard of ASMR? You should look it up because you are a NATURAL! Anyway, it's passion that makes the difference between a simple hobbyist, and an artist like yourself. Hold on to that, and you WILL succeed!
I loved this a ridiculous amount. I am a huge crystal lover, and your collection is so lovely. I look forward to watching more of your videos. 💕
Awesome collection! Malachites and Labradorites are my favorite! Also, these drawers! I need those
yes, I love them too! Especially Malachites with Azurites, they are so Earthy and beautiful. And yes, you gotta get these drawers! They're awesome :)) Thank you so much for watching!
I built some similar to yours for my gemstones after I tumble them. I love rock hounding, creating and building things too. Thinking of making jewelry as hobby, or sell what I make as i do other projects. Due to covid-19 I've had to make money anyway I can to support my daughter and I. Loved the video! Thanks for sharing!
Not only is your collection beautiful but you helped me identify a few cabochons I own that I had gotten at a gem show and had forgotten what they were
That's great! I have the same issue, sometimes I forget some of them. There's many types! I need to get into the habit of making little notes when I buy gems at shows, that's where I usually happen to forget them too haha 😍
Hiya Lady Stardust, what a wonderful collection! I don't think there was a single stone I would not wear! There were so many stories, each and every one has its own tale to tell.
Do you miss us yet dear lady? I hope and trust you've had a safe and easy trip home? Old Scottish saying, "We're no away to bide away!" We're not gone for good. Or, "I'll be back!" I'm trusting home cooking and your dad's vodka will get you turning out twice as many collections as before!!! Not to mention walking days out. Food in a backpack, water from a crystal stream, can it get better? Just pace yourself, please. And stay safe, both of you...Steve xx...
Hi Steve! Yes, we've arrived safely this afternoon and I'm barely keeping myself up :P just wanted to post this video and answer some comments, but it's definitely time to log out for a day and just sleep it off. Past few days were crazy. And I miss Bristol already (I know it may be funny, but I do!). I'm equally as excited to be home as I'm sad to be leaving England. Can't have both, at least not for now! But in the future? Maybe :) Happy you enjoyed this video, I;m very proud of this collection. I love seeing the stones of other people, so I thought I could show mine too haha :)
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithingsleep deep dear lady, you both deserve all the time you need. I've moved far too many times not to know what kind of hell it can be. So sleep well, there is nothing that will not wait till you are up and about again. I've always missed the places I've left, and the people too. First, re-charge, you've just done far too much in too short a space of time. Then sort out where to work, your physical needs come first, then your economic ones.
Stay safe...Steve xx...
@@stephencoster9532 Thank you so much Steve xx I'll be in touch soon xx
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithingI'll look forward to hearing from you... NOW SLEEP!!!
Labradorite & and Opals are stunning!
I’m in a creative rut. Summer is the worst for me because I feel like my motivation is zapped but the heat. Your collection is beautiful.
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that Charmmaine! I hope it will get better soon. Give yourself time. I felt just like this in the Winter. It took some time, but it passed eventually. Don't pressure yourself and don't let the guilt of not creating take the lead. It helped me a lot when I just accepted that I won't be creating for a while and instead I went back to things that made me happy. I started drawing again just for fun. Watching movies and YT videos I loved (not jewellery related) and looking at art. And, wouldn't you know it, at some point my brain rewired and I started craving creating! :) Good luck love, I'm sending you lots of love and good creative vibes 🌺
What a beautiful collection 🤩
Ooh such a wonderful collection of gemstones! Thank you for sharing, it's a real treat to see everything so neatly organised!
Just a small correction, cherry quartz is a manmade stone; I believe what you have is strawberry quartz which is natural. Love it so much!
Thank you so much! I'll check it out, I think you're right ❤ I appreciate you letting me know. Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
So many pretty crystals. I have an crystal obsession, i would have a hard time parting with any 🤣
Could you do a video with tools you could not have lived without. And also what is on your wish list ? 😁 Love your videos 😍
It would be totally awesome to learn gemstone terminology from you
What a beautiful collection! Amazing gemstones 😍✨
It's so nice of you to share your collection. I LOVE going through my craft stashes for inspiration and contemplation. I think a big part of the "making" process is the "collecting". 😉
oooh, absolutely! Couldn't agree with you more 😍 Sometimes sorting through the gems and looking at them brings me a lot of new ideas and inspiration. It also happened before, when a single stone inspired a whole collection of pieces 😃 Thank you for watching xx
So relaxing, and shiny 🤩! Adore crystals and your collection is impressive, love the organization 🙏 excited to see all the creations these beauties become! Thanks for sharing Basia 💖💎
Thank you so much Alicia! That's so very sweet 🥰 I appreciate it a lot xx
Delicious Collection Basia! I followed the card page tip but put my pages into a 3-ring binder. Works great!
This was great, and you have given me some new ideas about storing my gem stones-they are a bit of a mess right now! I like how the cards with the sticky tape keeps them well organized, visible, and not knocking against each other.
Happy you enjoyed these! I agree, these cards are a great way to organise gems, even if not put in a folder. It's an easy way to keep them in one place and easily organised. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful collection and wonderful way to organize them. Can’t wait to see some of them in your pieces.
Thank you so much Traci! I can't wait to start creating with them again :))
Wow so great beautiful stone very awesome collection very lovely .
would be interested in what the sizes are for your small gem cabochons as I always have difficulty estimating their sizes. thank you
Wchin ones do you have in mind? The smallest ones, round ones and drop ones are in the range of 4mm-8mm (round) and 9mm - 12mm (drops). Little Turquoise is between 5mm - 15mm. The all the other, irregular sizes, small and medium ones are usually about between 10mm -25mm :) The larger ones are more around 30mm - 45mm. I'm not sure if it helps, but I hope it does! :)
Thank you for sharing your collection of gem stones. I have watched this countless times and i find it soothing, relaxing, and calming each time.
Gud luck on your new start in polland. 💝
oh wow, that makes me very happy! :) Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed this video 😍
Nice collection. I do have lots of gemstones and I never wanted to sell it, it was so hard to let them go!
Thank you for another great video Basia! 🥰 You have such a beautiful collection, i would be so tempted to keep all for myself if i’m you. 😂 You sure have many amethyst! And the turquoise are really beautiful. See you in your next video. 🌸
Thank you so much lovely! Hahaha, I do have a lot of Amethyst 😃 It's one of my favourite gems. And yes, oh my, am I tempted to keep them all! Hahaha 😂 See you in the next one :)
Make a HUGE ring with the Faceted Amatrine!!!
Hahaha that would be a defensive ring! Not only fabulous looking, but also no one stands a chance!! 😁😀
Beautiful collection.
The large crystals at around 10:40 would make beautiful brooches, in my opinion!
Beautiful collection!
I have to arrange my collection now haha! And yeah, it often happens with me that I just like a gemstone and I buy it. And it may stay in my boxes for months and even years but the right moment always comes.
I feel you, Julia! :) I'm the same. Gemstones are so beautiful to look at. I may not be a strong believer in their commonly known properties, but I do know that they are simply beautiful and came from the earth, which is magic in itself 😍
Wow what a dream collection ❤️ if I had these I would spend way too much time looking at them and not enough time making anything 😀
hahahaha it does sound like me though! 😄 Sometimes I'm also struggling to let go of a stone, I would just love to keep it forever haha :)
Thanks for sharing.
Like your collection very much ❤️
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching! 🙏
Very well organised 👏👍 I have many of them but not organised 😐 I have rough emeralds and rubies aswel but very impressed from your beautiful collection and organised
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing.

Hi,
Your collection of Gemstones is amazing, being in this business from last 30 years I can feel how difficult it is to collect it.
Good work

Gidday.. from Australia..ya know...we have the most beautiful opals over here..
Luv your tutorials..
I know! Goodness how I wish I could get my hands on all of those beautiful opals! So dreamy 😍 One day hopefully! :)
Hello my dear friend...
Exciting video... We are so insync I was trying to remember the name of that same gemstone yesterday.
I have two of them as well ... They are called: Natural Apache Gold Pyrite Gemstone... I know they aren't "Gold" color but it probably refers to the "indian's version of gold"🤔... Anyhow that's the name 💛💚💜
They are wonderful! True, sadly that's not actual gold, although I wish it was! Hahaha :)) I just love the uniqness of these gems and high end look, very nice. Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
no i znowu plusik. świetna kolekcja :-)
Dziękuję serdecznie! :))
I hope my collection gets this big one day 🥰
I'm sure it will! Make sure you pick quality stones, so they will last and make you happy 😍
Ooo your collection is so pretty.... but I do prefer more so smaller sizes that are wearable than huge statement stones :) it makes is hard for me to pass up purchasing the larger attractive pieces but I do actually have a few on my night stand :)
Hello Basia,
you have a wunderfull collection of so many gemstones. It is inspiring to look at them 😍.
May ask you, where you got the rectangular Kunzite in the first box? I like especially the shape.
Greetings from Germany
How do you track the prices for your gems for when you sell them?
To some, I add little stickers with prices and put them on their backs. The rest, I usually keep invoices ad they have photos, so it's easy for me to find them. I know it migth seem like there's too many gems to keep track of, but I actually know each one of them and remember where to check their info. But it helps to write the details on small stickers or pieces of paper and add to folders/drawers too!
Beautiful collection! How to you plan to set the quartz moons? I have some hexagons that I have no idea what to do with! (Beginner here!)
Wow love these ! Do you ship jewelry to the US?
Thank you, I enjoyed this immensly, such a concentration of beauty in a few minutes! To God, its Creator, be the glory!
Thank you so much Kathy! :)
Aw, thank you for supporting an Indonesian supplier 🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼🪷🩵🩵⚡✨
He's one of my favourites! Such a wonderful person, his service is excellent and stones are always top notch. I have two suppliers from Indonesia and both are great 🥰💜
Question? Do you have a book or resource which shows you what all the gemstones look like as like a reference for what they look like, or their properties etc? Trying to find a basic simple book which shows you what all the gemstones look like finished and raw and their meanings properties star signs etc, for jewellery making. I keep finding weird ones to do with witches or using them to heal instead of just a simple resource to tell you about the stone and a image of what it’s like colour wise etc. any suggestions! Thanks
HI ... where do you order your opal from ??
Try hematite, jade,and Amethyst sage, and stones that your not feeling it can be used in macrame ,wire work or can use in a sun catcher dream chetcher
Have you ever made anything from obsidian?
Where do you get your gemstones from?
So sad you didn't talk about the kyanite.... beautiful collection though. I'd sit there getting lost in that labradorite ball!!!
Not sure if you have gotten this comment yet but you could get a selenite holder for your labradorite sphere
I want to buy high quality gems is there any online shops u recommend that sell rlly high quality gems things like garnet amethyst sapphire
Where do you buy your gorgeous gemstone?
Wish you would have gone more into opals!! I have jewelery quality opals if you want to work with me!!
Ethiopian opals that is.
12:43 Ooooo!
Oh!!! Sand down the back of the heavy stuff!
great idea! Can try doing that :)
Świetne! Gdzie kupić takie szufladki na kamienie? :D
Dziękuję! ❤️ Znalazłam je na brytyjskim Amazonie, nazywają się pencil/pastel drawers i widzę, że w polsce też są dostępne pod nazwą "szufladki na pastele" albo "kasetka na pastele" :)
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing dzięki za odpowiedź! Szkoda że w Polsce tylko 3 szufladkowe można dostać :(
@@gevarelghinn5297 to prawda :( ale powiem Ci, że jest w dobrej cenie, bo dwie kosztują tyle ile ja dałam za moją jedną :) więc możesz sobie postawić jedna na drugą i byłoby 6 szufladek, też na inne materiały 😀 (ale rozumiem, że koszt się zwiększa wtedy).
I have "dur e najaf"
hello I want this
from which state of India gemstones are famous
What was your age when you started your business. I alsa want to start a business of jewllery plz guide me .
very amazing I love them I also have several collections I ask for your support to develop and introduce various types of stones around the world.❤️❤️❤️❤️
10:50 you should electroform them
Great idea! Would love to try it one day :)
Nice, I just started electroforming and it's taking its little bath, hope it turn out, I'm making jewellery from my mudlarking finds 😀
