This young kids that work for you are hard working honest insist them the best sake for you trax one one day I can get a piece for you would be a awesome keep.the good work up and don't let anyone stop you keep.the honesty and shown light on how a real.business operates thanks
Beautiful work. My wife lost her diamond in her engagement ring recently, her ring was nothing extravagant but it meant a lot from a blue collar young guy that wanted to give her the best he had. Sadly I can’t afford to get her a new ring soon but I’m sure your work makes many people happy 😊.
He seems like a nice guy. Nothing wrong with being a conspiracy theorist. I know I don't trust our government. Why should we? They do nothing but push agenda and lie. On OUR tax dollars
Recently found Trax on UA-cam. Its great to see a genuine guy with the courage or self-confidence to put himself out there. For you it seems that money is just the means to an end, with that attitude you will for sure be successful. I know that's right because you are so free flowing with the advice about the game. A stingy person like the guys you talk about on No Jumper when you got to the diamond district would never give up the wisdom. And that's why you're crushing them. Tell me more about the divide by four, I could work with that.
Its all about so pleasuring thing to gift someone like these type of gold , diamond 🔹 to make someone day ❤❤❤ Its so good work Best for your further journey
I saw you in uncut diamonds!! I watched that movie years ago before I even knew I wanted to be a jeweler. Watched a ton of your videos this year and I learned a lot. It was crazy to re-watch the movie but now I know who you are and I saw the watch guy too!
This most be the coolest channel in youtube I watch every video of them and I like the way this gentleman talks in video very entertaining and smart at same time. Keep up the good work
hi i would love to work for you and learn from you. I live in Iceland but I would take the next plane if I had the chance to work and learn from you, I like how you are honest and fearless and you tell people that they don't have to whisper haha I like it
Good afternoon my brother I see that you are always blessing someone in need one of my dreams is to have a cuban link chain from you guys but I will never be able to afford it but one day I hope I be able to get one
I left a comment on a channel that said they are you and that they wanted to send me some silver but to shout them out at some web site. Is this you guys? It was a video of you guys boxing it out and i said respect, glove up or shut up. Then i got the message that i won some silver.
Great content and ABSOLUTELY stunning jewelry keep it up….I do wish though I could have been one of those people you passed handing out the ounces of gold….that could change my life right now…and to the people who passed by him and said NO….Dummies!!!….I shall be subscribing today!
Imm dropping my first piece soon thsnks to you bro got my homie clean hes teaching me his trade jewlry custom .i got some heavy ideas and he just brought me in as a owner !
How about this silver fact: Before the Industrial Revolution, silver didn't usually need to be polished, because that was before we put so much sulfur in the air by burning coal.
Hey u guys should have some specials for low budget regular everyday customers all time aka 14k gold 100-500$ chain pendants included for average people u can mass produce them
I want to hear about future speculation on labs vs Natural diamond investment. One would assume labs would lose value over time where as the natural market has been well regulated for decades. Why as an investor, would you buy lab diamonds at all? Can they help bump the price of a heavy gold piece? It seems very limited because the end supply is limitless and the age matters little. Whereas those factors can effect price in the natural market
Hey Trax love all the videos and education. My wife and I have our anniversary on the 25th of this month but i only have a couple hundred to spend on a necklace what would you recommend?
Hey man, you messaged me saying I won the silver but I don’t know how to message you directly. How do I get with you about getting that from you? Thanks by the way
I thought Red Sapphires were just called Ruby? Is there some technicality like its fluorescence I don't know about that makes it a 'Red Sapphire' instead of a Ruby?
Love your videos man, I was thinking about doing some gold trading just to get my teeth fixed, won’t go into it but need a mouth resto. Any tips on spinning some gold ?
My wife lost her wedding rings. One was very sentimental to me. It was one my father gave to my mother. It was passed to me after my father died in 2014. Sadly, my wife lost both her rings at work and are forever gone. You've got great employees, and I hope that one day, i can afford to have your team re-create it! Love the content
Man id love to buy something from you if I wasn’t broke as shit. You seem like a good dude. Been supporting you for a long time. I have all my friends and everybody at work watching you now too haha
If you've purchased a chain containing 2 ounces of gold, valued at today's spot price of £1,600.33 per ounce, the total gold value would be £3,200.66. What are the typical labor costs associated with transforming it into jewelry? I’ve invested money into bullion, but not jewellery, as I’m unsure on the investment returns.
I'm not 100% sure how his cost breaks down with labor but I can tell you he charges a markup of at least 200% (and that's on jewelry he's had marked down on sale) and sometimes even 300-400% (if not more) on whatever materials cost. I personally know how to make jewelry and I first calculate cost based on achieving a 100% ROI on materials then add a markup for time/labor which for me is 20-50% depending on size, diamonds needed, gold needed, polishing work, etc.) But if I had a piece(s) I needed to make and had to outsource cause it'll take too long or whatever the case may be then the cost would be as follows... If I need a designer to design the jewelry for me that'll usually be like $20-$80 depending on size and detail. I could still 3d print the wax myself or have someone print it for about $20-30. Casting the piece will usually be the spot price of whatever precious metal we're using. Casted gold is usually marked-up $2-3 per gram of gold casted (that's for all karats of gold but people who do big business and/or have very good relationships can get it a little lower than 2 probably around $1.5-$1.8 which may not seem like a huge discount but it surely compounds over time) Silver is usually marked up $1-2 per gram casted. (again lower end if you have relationships) Diamond setting I can get done for $1-2 per stone considering I work with 3d printed wax models which already have the prongs and everything but even if the setter had to make all the holes, prongs, etc I know it would only be around $2-4 per stone depending on the setter. Polishing is usually around $20-40 per polish/cleaning for smaller pieces (pendants about 2-3" in size, rings, smaller bracelets, etc) and that'll need to be done before the diamonds is set (first polish) then also again once they are in place (second polish and final cleaning). For average and bigger sized pieces it shouldn't cost more than like 50% more than a smaller piece would per polish. That's honestly all the cost directly associated with turning bullion to a jewelry piece, anything else is overhead that people need to factor in for rent, employee's, etc.
I can outsource star rings for about 2.2k with all material and labor included and easily sell it for 4.5-5k or give a "discount" for 4k which would be slightly below my 100% markup goal but then again I had to do 0 labor in making it so and still got close to 80% markup just for buying the materials myself and reaching out to other jewelers to make it for me (which is why I previously stated I mainly look for ROI on material cost as I don't really have to do the labor myself unless I want to. If I do choose to make a piece cause I really wanna do it myself I will charge my markup for the creativity (especially if it's a unique piece I came up with) If the customer for a fact don't want it outsourced then that's when I will factor in the time it'll take simply because I can get the same exact piece made by outsorucing with no time invested so there has to be some payoff for me to take time away from other aspects of the business while I work on this piece for this customer (but again my markup is on the lower end for most jewelers and there are plenty of "Jewelers" who can't even make a piece themselves let alone design one.)
Hi name is Ben Gallacher. I have a variety of gem stones and some diamonds and others. I'm also in a tight spot do to the lack of work. Do you purchase off of people you don't know. I went to Williams jewelry but they offered me 20. For a 1ct emerald cut diamond out of the whole batch of stones. I got 4 alexandrite s that he just passed over. Anyways a simple question with a yes or no answer. I do want to thank you for taking the time to read this I know for certain you are a busy man. I appreciate all that you do much love .
Pick me for a giveaway please! I fully watch and thumbs up every video! Happy holidays! Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA 😎🤠

You can thank the imbecile who want 300 stones on their stupid J pendant.
This easily became my fav UA-cam channel. A lot of interesting facts being taught to us. The owner is awesome ❤
No he is not. He's a PoS conspiracy theorist.
He seems like a nice guy. Nothing wrong with being a conspiracy theorist. I know I don't trust our government. Why should we? They do nothing but push agenda and lie. On OUR tax dollars
What's up with the eyes @2:53 thats some proper shape-shifting right there 😮

2:28 Red sapphires ARE Rubies. Red corundum is known as ruby and all other colored corundum is sapphire, although blue is the most well-known.
Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🎄

Just so glad to see you doing what you do. Great job. Thanks from all of us.

The Cuban ring is pretty cool!💯
