- 💎💎Jewelry Business Academy Course
This video will teach you everything you need to know about the jewelry business. Most people think that getting into this business requires some type of connections, special education, business licenses, and permits. This is the furthest thing from the truth. Anyone can get into the jewelry business. The jewelry business is safer than ANY other business on the planet. It is easier and SAFER than businesses such as drop shipping, buying items from china and reselling them on amazon, etc. Why? because you are dealing with real gold and diamonds which is basically real currency and can be melted, reused, or sold at any time. You can make jewelry pieces for under $100 and sell them for 100-400 percent profits. You will learn everything from how jewelry is made, to where to buy diamonds, to the strategies of how to build a profitable business and much much more.

I said the same thing for myself lol
Thanks so much bro i live in Los Angeles and will start make tonight.... bless you bro
I paid for your course . Now I can't access it
@@Theoikpa please tell me which name you signed up with
such a great video thank you. My only suggestion is please go a little slower, I feel the video (your speech, topics) move too fast. Id prefer if you took your time on each step and go in just a little more indpeth for detail. For your paid course, can you please tell me how it differs from this video?
The jewelry business is literally a freaking secret society imo this information is very much appreciated.
It's like any industry, it's not what you know it's who you know.
It is
I’m a graphic designer. He just changed my life.
Its absolutely not, ive learned so much just by asking people on Instagram who own huge businesses, did you say this just because someone didn't knock on your front door offering to give you free tips?
@@Jordan-rb28 im just going to say this, i have no diamond district (Puerto Rico). Its hustle and learn on your own. Also learn your basics and go to every Jewler, jewelry store, and talk to them try to make friend (basically buy a lot from them) and trick them to giving you the information you need. You will earn respect and never forget jewelry is art but mostly a business. Its all about money

“ the secret of success is to do the common thing, uncommonly well.”
straight to the point, thank you for this 🔥
I’ve never thought of or wanted to pursue a jewelry designing, manufacture or selling business, but I can recognize when someone is helping people realize there’s nothing holding them back from doing any and everything except a lack of trying and the knowledge to do it. And you tearing down the veil to the back room, showing there’s no barrier to entry and there’s nothing back there but other people doing business, willing to sell their materials and labor to them too, is amazing man. This video is a public service. I don’t know what motivated you to do a video like this, not where you want to inform about the business but break that barrier in peoples minds that tell themselves “I could never do that,” or “that’s not for me,” that there’s nothing to it.
Like I said, I’ve never felt pulled to the jewelry business, but this video has me thinking why not? After half an hour I have that feeling of having a working handle of a skill that you normally can only get from apprenticeship or formal education.
Thanks man, if not for me, for anyone who actually needed a hustle or an entry point to a profession and was just not equipped with direction. Most of us aren’t made to feel like we can do anything we want to, and that’s really the spirit behind this video, you’re taking people who see these instagram jewelers and think they’re a different kind of person than them, and then you come in this video- which I have no idea how I got to this video btw- saying no, these guys are just like you, but just with a little know how to the business, and then you went step by step with it.
Props to you man, this video lit a fire in me, if not exactly for making and selling jewelry, for not creating a barrier to entry in my mind, for seeking knowledge and not thinking it’s out of reach, that I’m ineligible to do whatever, and that the knowledge is out there, I just have to go and get it and walk into some places and just ask sometimes.
Again bud, you did something amazing here, if not in the superficial sense, definitely in the sense of changing mindsets and self imposed limitations.
Thank you so much for this post, I truly appreciate it!
I do agree l… I’ve wanted to make jewelry before and I would never enter the door because I always thought this is hard very hard…. Thank you… and I honestly believe you are one of the only people that’s step by stepped any business video where people would feel confident…. Thank you my friend
Truly inspirational. I’m getting into the business myself n if your down we can work together
@@Aqua-steam same here I've been watching his videos all month just studying up and training finally got my prints going for casting literally credit all of my knowledge to Slava
Yeah but one also needs a lot of money lol
Im saying this while having my biz running, but need to incorporate casted pieces to be competitive. Of course you can start always with almost nothing, but now the casting will demand a lot of equipment which comes not for free
My father made jewellery from the late seventies to mid nineties. I used to help him all the time after school he still has all of his old equipment collecting dust. It's interesting seeing this and the changes that have gone on in the industry.
Inbox me
Can I have the tools please
I’d like to purchase your father’s equipment
Does what this guy say sound right on the money?
Yo dude, my jewelry business is now generating over 10k$ revenue at 17yo in a month, i really do owe it to you bro.
thats what im talking about. congrats! don't be comfortable at 10k keep scaling
what's the name of your business?
Teddy Bear The Jellyfish check it on ig, tdd.diamonds
Online Empires I’d love to hear any new ideas you might have, I’m trying to reduce the net cost on the gold I buy and labor on top of it, because in my country it comes out to be 25$ on top of every gram, so I’m outsourcing (would love to discuss this w u on a private call)
And now I’m building an ecom website to increase my sales number (by units) even if it means taking a hit on profit margins.
What’s your Instagram and business name I want to support @idan Tal
Thank you, I'm looking to get into this business for fun. My other businesses are doing well, so this would be more of a hobby side gig kind of business.
As someone who has family in the business, I'm actually impressed with how accurate, straight forward and no-bs your video is. Bravo.
I used to work in jewelry making company and you could not sum up the business better than that in 32 min ! Kudos bro you re one internet hero people need !
Yeah his really good I’m just confused if I should I drop 20-30k and a years worth of planning or sale one piece at a time
@@summon1456 Start small, build up.
What a great f*n video - straight to the point, all practical info, no filler, thorough, well organized - thank you!!
thank you!
@@SlavaTVOfficial I bought a 3D model from a guy. He told me to weigh the printed piece and whatever the weight is you multiply by 10 and the answer will be how many grams your gold piece would weigh once casted. That's different than what you said and demonstrated in the video where you simply told the caster how many grams you want the piece, the color, and karat. The model I had printed weighed 1.8 grams. Multiplied by 10 is 18 grams. Does the weight of the print pigeon-hole you to how many grams your piece can weigh. Can you explain what that for me please?
yes oh my god ,i really wish youtube had som dignity n set some REAL fin criteria instead of encouraging long vids in many parts etc Society goes backwards bcoz of that kind of "buiseness model" Efficiency must start be rewarded asap....i mean some tubers keep their vids good out of ..the goodness of their heart...,morals and shame Tjhats the only reason tube is somewhat good still
I don’t even want to open a jewelry business I just want to create my own pieces for myself ‼️ KNOWLEDGE YOU THE MAN FRFR
Hello I'm Bukola, I'm a Nigerian, and I sell gold for as low as $95, very affordable isn't it??, what's your ig handle so we can connect to each other?
We’re u Ever able to make it
This is like a speed tutorial on how to open a jewelry store, no bs, just pure knowledge. Wow.. I'm very impressed!
Glad it was helpful!
I love this page it’s crazy u can literally make your own jewelry for a half of what they charging
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much. I'm a dentist from China, and recently I have been experiencing job burnout. I've been searching for a part-time job for the past six months. Four days ago, a friend approached me and expressed her desire to get a lip piercing, asking for my help. Suddenly, an idea struck me-I could offer this service as a part-time job. Additionally, another idea came to mind: I could create grillz! Being a dentist, I am familiar with the production of tooth crowns, which follows a process similar to jewelry making, whether it's done traditionally or digitally. Starting this venture seems feasible for me, but I understand that the real challenge lies in the business aspect. Your support has truly boosted my confidence, and I am sincerely grateful.
100% context with out the BS.. best video I've seen .. giving you step-by-step instructions how to get in the jewelry business.🎉👍
Thanks!!
Online Empires how would you recommend making a watch? Who would you send the 3D file to? And would they be able to cast the whole watch for you?

Your videos are just incredible! I am a GIA Graduate Gemologist and even when I went to school out here in Carlsbad
CA. at the world headquarters of GIA. No one ever just laid it out like that. Amazing. I think it was complete and well done. No nonsense and straight forward. I am going to watch it several times. I still need to go back and do the bench jewelry class but I have to say that this was just great and thank you so much for all of the help. I want to do it all. And I will have the backing to buy the CAD software and all of the casting equipment. I want a good 3d printer and I want to be able to make things by hand as well. Thanks again for all of the incredible advice.
Thanks for this comment! It truly means a lot!
One thing I can contribute: at least in my area, rhodium has almost quadrupled in price over the last year, so try not to lash out at a jeweler if the rhodium plating seems higher than it used to be.
The prices he mentioned arent too realistic, so far i have contacted over 50 jewelers and nobody had 1$ per stone.. but it can differ when you hit a local district and find the right spot!
Not even a few seconds into this video and I already know this guy is straight up knowledgeable and trying to blow up on UA-cam. Subscribing. Keep it up boss!
Thank you!
Love this type of content. Step by step from start to finish with everything that’s needed. Truly appreciate you brother.
Thanks!
I went into this video with little expectations thinking it was one of those stupid "get rich quick" videos but damn, this is everything a person could want. I sent this to my brother because he's very interested in jewellery and has been making quite a profit just plain-old reselling jewellery he buys from ebay. I'm not even interested in starting a jewellery business but this video kept my attention.
Thank you so much! If your brother needs any help tell him he can reach out anytime
Out of all bs videos out in the yt universe this is life changing for many aspiring entreprenuers. You my friend have changed a few lives since you posted this incredibly detailed no bs video. This is a gift to me as well. Thank you and God bless you for setting us in the right path!!!!

I own a jewelry business and this is kind of the way but you would need business license and if you want to be a custom jewelry you have to know people

@@SlavaTVOfficial how can I reach out to you?
You are a legend for providing this much helpful information! I have a foundation to start from if I decide to pursue this. For example, I never knew that factories were right above the retail section of jewelry stores in the jewelry district. You broke down the technicalities of gold, for example, really well. Thanks a bunch!
Extremely informative bro, I appreciate in depth breakdown of everything. I’m currently in the process of learning the steps of manufacturing my own jewelry, but the older established guys and middlemen are so hush hush about the business; especially in NY and Philly. They’d rather charge you BS numbers for “labor” or simply reject your project if you know what you’re talking about; because they have to do everything “in house” lol
Oh trust me me im aware of that. don't let that discourage you. keep searching till you find normal people to deal with. took me some time too
@@SlavaTVOfficial Do you think this is possible in a smaller city like Vancouver , CA? Probably not so many people to chose from

I appreciate the knowledge. I started my business 1 year ago, now I’m beginning to scale!!!
thats awesome! keep growing!
30+ mins of value. I really appreciate it. I realize it takes time, research, and effort to put out quality content live this... I'm commenting just to help the youtube algorithm. I will also like and suscribe. It's too late for this video, but I won't skip ads when watching the next video. If you continue to take time to give us quality content, I'll sacrifice a few seconds to sit through ads.
Thx Charles, I appreciate that!
it's unbelievable how perfect this video is man! thank you so much!
Thank you!
16:56 - A casting company I found wants $9/piece + $10/gram over metal cost.
$315 becomes $409.
22:10 - I found $3 per diamond to set. That adds $624 to your total. Then, the casting fee is $174.75 more than you give. The piece would be $2,087. These prices make non-gold jewelry prohibitively expensive.
It looks like my state has no jewelry district. All the jewelers I have been to mailed out all jewelry for repair or modification and shipped in all jewelry.
This dude ain't no hater....he given game for free!!🙏
Thank yo ufos watching!
Wow !! I always admired entrepreneurship and wanted to start my own business, this just gave me an idea of what can be my calling! Thank you for this video

Online Empires I do have a question though. I live in Nebraska and I don’t have any jewelry districts near me. I personally know a master goldsmith I can have do the finishing, but I don’t know where to go for the casting or diamond setting (when I start doing those pieces). What do you recommend?
@@dantebrown3081 Fast forward, 1yr. How's it going?
So did you actually start a jewelry business after watching this video? If so, how’s it going?
did you start your business ?
I am a retired mechanical engineer and I'm thinking of getting into the jewelry design biz. I use solidworks design program and through out my job history I have design some of the most complex surface's. I want to focus on ear rings. I have created 5 pieces that are really unique in surface complexion. So I want to be that guy that people go to buy my design. In my opinion I think one of my designs could fetch 5 to 10K after finished product. Wish me luck 💲💰💸
awesome!

Thank you so much I appreciate that!
10000000000% legit you are an amazing person for simplifying the game!!!
Thank you!
You know what’s sad? Bro literally gives EVERYTHING you need to start but yet 99.9999% of the people watching won’t even try...
That includes you.
My area does not have a jewelry district. And, what he pushes is your average cookie-cutter reseller who is nothing more than a middle man. This is completely removed from mostly any part of the art side of jewelry. There would be nothing unique about this jewelry, no reason for a customer to go this route vs going with a larger dealer.
But,there is plenty of potential here for someone to do as littler or as much of this as desired. I may go for this, although I would likely design and manufacture my own.
Good. why would you want everyone to try? Worry about yourself homie

thats awesome bro, definitely take it online and grow from there. you can scale your business huge if you put your products on multiple platforms
