Keep up the hard work I was one of the 13 thousand hoping to make a custom order maybe 🤔 Brand development is so important and this is getting your name out there !!! Letting your customers have a connection makes a big difference also makes it easy to reference information!!! Much appreciated! ❤
Beautifully said! It definitely is a time commitment; even if you’re not filming, you have to come up with ideas for what you’re filming next… but you seriously could film the most basic thing like painting a wall and you would make it look amazing and beautiful 🥰✨🤍
Thank you for sharing this information so transparently and genuinely! ❤ it’s so helpful for me and I’m also a small business owner that just started taking UA-cam seriously, and this video really helped inspire me and encourage me to keep going 🥹✨ all the best for your business and wishing you great success! ❤
Great video ! I must admit I watch your channel because it inspires me to make things myself (although in a different field). So I'm one of the people who visited your website and drooled over the gorgeous things you make. Although I didn't buy anything, visitors like me are still worthwhile because now I know what you make, I will very happily recommend your site to anyone I know who likes the kind of style you create 🙂
Thank you, I love that! 🙏🤗 I also love to watch other creators that make things that are outside of my wheelhouse for inspiration, so that makes me happy that I could be that for you! ☺🙏 And thank you for the kind words about my work! 🙈❤🤗
Thank you, Adriana, for being so encouraging. I've just started my metalsmithing journey and am posting my process on UA-cam. Hopefully I'll see similar benefits too
Hello Adriana, Thank you for taking the time to show your jewelry-making process, we are learning from you. I also visited your awesome website; your pieces are fabulous. It would be nice if you also posted photos of the back and side views of the jewelry pieces. For many of us, the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front when thinking of buying it. Just a suggestion, Keep up with the beautiful work.
Hi!! I’ve just had my first pieces back from casters very excited but how do you polish the inside of rings or other hard to get to spots? The radial disks are too big to get right in there! Many thanks xx
That’s so exciting!!🎉. I usually go in at an angle with my radial disks and am able to polish the inside of my pieces so I’m not too sure on that 🤔 if it’s something really small you could I get a slotted mandrel and some different grits of emery paper to sand/polish it in that way 💜 they also make felt tips to get into tiny places with your polishing compound. If you have really tight places around/inside a setting you can use a sewing needle to burnish it shiny. I hope some of that can be helpful 🙏🏻
Keep it up. Yes there are a lot of people on youtube that help out. I will set up my small studio next year hopefully but not sure about a you tube channel as I AM NOT A VERY GOOD TALKER.
Thank you! 🙏🏻🥹 skills can be improved so don’t write the idea off completely! ☺️ also, I’ve found that some of the best UA-camrs are introverts, people who are shy around others but magically blossom in front of the camera! 💜☺️
Such fascinating and helpful insights! Thank you for sharing. I recently designed my first ring (an engagement ring) and I’ve been learning a lot from your videos. I’m hoping to create my own casting studio at home, one day.
Thank you! I’m really glad I could be of help! 🙏🏻🥹 YOU CAN DO IT! There are also many great DIY set ups too if you’re handy, I’ve seen a few here on UA-cam! Also maybe keep an eye on some Facebook pages that sell and trade tools? 🙏🏻
Perhaps ur content is more suited for makers by makers and budding artists... I appreciate your hard work and dedication to ur Craft. I like to just see ur lovely face and also see what ur up to as an artisan. so cool... thank you for putting out what u know and supporting collaboration and community.
Also, i saw other vloggers link their shop at the top of the youtube channel, so the banner that you have with other videos, they instead have there a quick peep of their items.. not sure if it’s something you are interested to do with your account, but from a buyer’s pov i think they are more tempted to check out your website if it’s easily accessible.. x
Great topic today!! Hey Wonder Woman, I'm wondering why you choose the metals you do. Like, why lower karat gold, higher available? Why sterling? Not others? Great topic that I'm sure you'll have the best answers for!
Hello sweet friend! 🥹💜 this is a great question and there are a few reasons (I’m hoping to change this soon). I only offer sterling silver and 10k right now firstly to keep things affordable and attainable for myself and my customers. A lot of people that are following my business have been around since I was making clay jewelry at $25ish a pop 🙈 I then introduced silver and everyone stuck around, then introduced gold fill, then 10k. I’m trying to slowly graduate into the more expensive metals for both myself and my pocket but also my customers that have been around a while. 💜 I also have only just gotten comfortable with my temperature settings regarding casting for both silver and 10k, it has taken a while to really perfect my pouring temps so I would love to try another metal soon! 🎉 I finally am in a place where I’m getting more consistent sales where I could afford to swipe my business card for some 14+k gold but for the longest time I was scared to put myself on that level if that makes sense? lol Allll that being said, I genuinely love 10k gold and see tons of value in it: affordable, durable, hypoallergenic, and best of all, a gold option that isn’t filled or plated. But I would love to add other options to my site soon for those who have the need and budget. 💜☺️
Thanks for this vid love! One thing i feel i am nut ready for is people’s rudeness, the ones who don’t put themselves out there and don’t have a channel, but know how to criticise others easily sheltered by the comfort of writing sharp comments from behind their screen at home.. how do you manage to not be touched by their comments and stay indifferent? 🙏🏻❤
Hello Maya! That’s a totally valid worry lol BUT I look at it as, I won’t let anyone’s opinions keep me from doing what I love and enjoy. No matter what someone says, I know what it took for me to myself out there and I’m proud of that, so if someone has something not so nice to say, that’s their problem, not mine. 💜 I also genuinely feel bad for those folks that leave nasty comments, before I even let it make me look at myself, I think, “damn, this person must be pretty sad to feel to need to say that to a stranger” lol. Most of the time it doesn’t bother me whatsoever, I just feel bad for them. Other times, very rarely, I’ll comment back. You just have to know it will happen sometimes but that it really has nothing to do with you. 💜
It really is a lot of work lol 💀 I understand wanting things to be tidy BUT don’t let it stop you, I think alot of people appreciate the realness of that 🙏🏻☺️
I wouldn't discount the influence of UA-cam on your sales.... When I've gone to your website to shop I've always just googled your company name and gone from there. I'd never think to go to a shop page from a UA-cam channel. Just my two cents!
Hi, hope you success, I do think that your type of business doesn't work well with the idea of content marketing, I do feel that brands that sells product in the range of 20-80 or to even 100 dollar, can get so much sales. Most of your product are in the expensive level, I think it would work way better for a business with product price range between 20-60-80 dollars. I tell you that cause I watch other jewelry business that do the same as you they also use TikTok and Instagram, Pinterest to drive sales. And I think youtube is the best place to build strong relations between you, the brand, and the consumers. ❤ I personally love your videos, thank you
Hey Mitera, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your highly engaging videos and thumbnails which will help your video to reach to a wider audience and increase your subscribers and viewers. Can we discuss about it ?
Is this a real question? 👀 lmao forgive me if this is sarcasm and it’s going over my head, but if this questions is of good intent, you can’t let what’s happening in the world stop you from living your day to day life…. So….yes. If it’s what you want, do it. 🙏🏻

It really is a lot of work lol 💀 I understand wanting things to be tidy BUT don’t let it stop you, I think alot of people appreciate the realness of that 🙏🏻☺️
Can you please recommend a super easy to use mic?
