It would be cool to see a *comparable* handmade ring vs mass produced ring. Besides the chunk of carbon, these two don't have much in common. Your work is lovely, but theyre too different. It would be informative to see comparable settings or styles so the benefits you're mentioning (the polishing and proper sizing) are what's actually being compared. Or similar price points - what does a $10k handmade ring look like vs a $10k mass produced ring?
End product would look almost identical, except the price tag. If someone presents something handmade prepare to get hosed.
Erin Agree completely. That’s what I thought this video would be about.
@Fundamentalist American. Why is his house full of junk? Because of an opinion about a handmade ring. Damn your just a little bitch. Fucking crybaby!
He's making a ring for a client, not for shits and giggles. He's not gonna make two identical rings just for your viewing pleasure.
@@cecilyerker then don't title it handmade versus mass produced if you aren't going to do an actual comparison. He's the one who came up with the concept, not anyone demanding it for "their viewing pleasure".
From a fellow jeweler, great video!! This is a key point in jewelry manufacturing that alot of people don't talk about. In mas production every corner is cut to maximize the bottom line. When jewelry is handmade properly (where every single component can be polished during the process) it is purely art.
I don’t know anything about making jewelry, but your videos are so calming and your craftsmanship is amazing. Love the music in the background and the attention to detail.
Bobby White I love your work. I am 14 and my hobby is making things from metal. Every day I am 30 min or more on my workbench. My uncle is goldsmith and it is really nice their. I learned alot from him and your video’s.
Good for you! The world is full of lazy teenagers who don’t want to get their hands dirty, but they don’t know what they’re missing! :)
I would love to have this type of work. One where precision and care to detail is integral to what you produce. And as an introvert, I’d be ecstatic working solo.
ok
Good job.
Keep it up, there aren't going to be a lot of craftsmen from your generation so you'll definitely have an edge on people your age.
Yes! I worked in a shop that specialized in making custom fine jewelry pieces, and we always tried our best to help people understand that our prices were higher because of the craftsmanship behind them. My engagement ring was a custom piece, and 6 years later I still love it so much. The ring you made is beautiful, and I think showcases your point in a gorgeous way.
Thank you!
Hello! Since you worked in a shop I’d like to ask you a few questions. My bf purchased my ring from Israel and I love it but it seems to be quite flat which I don’t mind because I did dot want a super bulky ring but the issue when I saw the ring in person and tried it on to see if it would fit I came across the issue that it may be difficult to purchase a band because it wouldn’t go directly under the band like all other rings. The shape is a pear diamond and I remembered how Bobby White edited (?) this ring and I was wondering if it is also a possibility that I can raise the ring a bit to be able to fit a band directly under it? Also since I live in LA I feel it would be difficult to find a good craftsman that I can be confident that will give me what I want and I won’t have fear of going to one and thinking he may replace the diamond or try to scam us. Hopefully you see this ! Thank you
@@claudiaestela3135 Go to Bobby White's website and contact him with your issue. You won't regret it.
Your work is not only beautiful but, I notice you make your rings much sturdier. Nicer weight in the gold and platinum. Very, very nice work!
its hard to deal with these videos...the incredible beauty that is made from simple things...the craftsmanship is astounding. just want to own them all. no wonder they cost so much. Jewlery is such a thing of beauty.
Handmade is always so much more special than mass produced. It’s bringing your vision to life and makes the stone that much more special.
there is something just entrancing about watching someone who is so adept at what they do and has such a passion in it, tinkering with all these tools and machines that i don't even understand
I have absolutely no interest in making rings myself but I love watching because of you
Thank you, glad you like the videos.
The ad for this was a mass produced diamond ring.
UA-cam ad sense winning!
Interesting ... my advert is about asking donation.
thank you for the inspiration , I was a apprentice in hatton garden in1962 its so nice to see you making good , and your pA also , I now live in texas usa, your work and designs keep the hatton garden tradition alive . thanks
I enjoy your videos. Handmade jewelry fabrication is in danger of becoming a loss art due to mass productions. I'm taking classes to learn how to design and fabricate jewelry by way of multiple methods. Thank you for making these videos and sharing
: ( but how is an ordinary person suppose to tell the difference between craftsmanships ? can you make a video about that?
It's actually pretty easy. It depends of course on what kind of jewellery you're looking at. When it comes to high end jewellery, it's all about the details. If you're getting one of those, I imagine it's quite an investment, so take time examining it. Bring a loupe, and check that all the stones are set in properly, i.e. that they don't move and that there is no gap between the setting and the stone (under the prong or around the rubover). Check the polishing, aspecially around the prongs. Things should be alingned well and not wonky. If you look at mass produced stuff and focus on the details, you see that things just don't properly fit together. Also the price. If something is way too cheap, it's not going to be handmade.
@@ACLotRFan i mean most people dont know how to use a loupe properly and even what theyre looking for in a correctly/well set diamond. My best advice would be to find a jeweller that you trust (althought might be a biased opinion as i am a jeweller) but when im trying to sell a ring i explain the hand making process and my customers learn to trust in my products.
It's actually from bare eye can notice the difference. Mass production jewelleries always having some areas that cannot be sanded or polished properly.
However, very high skill Stone Setters and a pciece casted from a good Master (well calculated) can bring the quality very close to the Hand-made one. But because of Mass Production, it's hard to achieve 100% units having the same quality.
Quality over quantity.
i can
This is why I absolutely love UA-cam. You can find yourself suck into a rabbit hole of videos you never would have even considered looking up. Fascinating stuff!
what i absolutely love about this ring, is that it doesn't cover up the point of the stone at the bottom. so gorgeous and such a statement. I adore your work.
Seeing you working gave me so much peace
Your work station soothes my whole being. Like it's so clean and organized. The ring is gorgeous too! The craftsmanship and the details in this video is awesome! When you started placing the stones I was at awe. Maaan your artist and steady hand is amazing.
love this video. most people don't know the difference of handmade and mass produce jewelry. handmade Jewelries are so precious
The real definition of a true artist and a dedicated person is this guy. So amazing!
I'm headed back to school on Tuesday and man I miss it when I watch you work (I'm studying to become a goldsmith)
Yes!! Couldn't agree more. Thank you for making this video, a lot of people don't realize that when you go the mass produced route you sacrifice really high quality standards, so getting the information out there is so important. Beautiful work!
Great to see you explaining the difference of a good quality handmade ring keep it up👍😊
The way he picks up the tools is so smooth.
I watched this video 2 years ago and just come back to it again, thank you for educating people.
Beautiful work, Bobby. I had my platinum engagement ring hand forged by Victor Canera a few years ago and I haven't purchased a CAD/cast ring since. I'll never go back. My setting looks like it did the first day I got it, the workmanship is exquisite. It's so nice to see others make rings in this manner, it's *true* craftsmanship. So many people focus all of their energy on the stone(s) and only care about the "style" of the mount. To me, it's like hanging a Renoir in an Ikea frame.
UA-cam has taken me down a rabbit hole again. Not disappointed.
As someone who's looking at having such a piece made, this was great to watch, and helps me see what I'm supposed to look for. Absolutely beautiful work, and does justice to that stone. And credit due for the production of the video, the macro shots are fantastic.
As a fellow goldsmith I applaud your work and your defense on why handmade is much more expensive than mass produced jewelry. I know a few people who were in the mass production side of jewelry making and when they tried to make jewelry the old fashioned way they completely failed since they are used streamlined and machine dependent ways of creating jewelry. This job is both tough on the body and mind and having a customer trying to cheapen the price on our hard work pisses me off a bit. It takes so many years to learn this craft and actually takes a lifetime to even master.
AMAZING WORK BOBBY!!!! You are a true master on what you do, you got a gift from the Gods...I️ really enjoy watching all your work...Keep up the good work my friend!
Your workshop is so clean and organized, wow. It makes watching the process so much more relaxing. And the editing and visuals are beautiful as well!
Lovely! I have a handmade custom ring and personally never knew the difference except that I could design it myself
Thank you jewelrs for creating amazing & beautiful rings to decorate our hands, you have a gift!
I love seeing some of the work that goes into improving a ring. Even without the extra bling your recreation is a winner. You inspire me to try making something similar.
Wow, he's so talented! Strangely hypnotized when I watch him work.
I certainly does make a difference, knowing it is made for you. Lovely video. Thank you 😊
Thank you for this. I do know what I am looking at with stones but never realised the advice on the setting before. Great vid. Gorgeous ring. Lucky girl!
I love how everything looks so organized 👌
Just finished a piece myself today, and I can honestly say that I can relate with all the processes in this video! Keep up the amazing work !
How did you start off? What kind of school did you go to?
It took 2 minutes for me to figure out what an “air made” ring was. Beautiful work. I have diamond setters in my family and know it takes years to get to this level of execution.
I love how u push that handmade is often better and why u should support good craftmanship👍 love it, subscribed.
Yes! We picked a handmade custom setting and it was a lot pricier but well worth it. Expert setting makes all the difference in making the stone shine!
Awesome craftmanship. Learned something new today. Thanks for the infomation.
Where have you been all my life 😮 Love these videos. I'm a goldsmith and diamond setter of 30 years and I love old school technique. The high finish details you can get behind in the hidden sections. So much cad one part cast out there. True craftsman I'm inspired. Lusting over that workshop lol
This is how I would want my ring to be made. Out of passion and appreciation for the ring.
Unbelievable talent. Keep up the amazing work brotha. I’m absolutely loving the videos!!!
U have made d 2ct diamond a home where it deserved to be. Its fabulous!
This is a really remarkable skill Bobby and you're teaching and advice is fantastic. Ace videography as well really keeps the attention and shows us all the step by step and details
👏 truth
Fab video,loved the fact that every step is so precise,and at the end the most beautiful ring.
u have done a SPECTACULAR JOB !!!!! I bet u know this. The way u explained every step was brilliant !!! I really enjoyed yer video
Wow so much work goes into it. Beautiful.
Just randomly came across one of your videos. This is absolutely amazing and astounding. Never realised the craftsmanship and skill that goes into creating a ring like that. It definitely bought out the diamond. Keep it up.
Watching the process is amazing, the dedication leads a beautiful end product
Would love to do things like this. Working with small details is something I think I would enjoy so much. But I don't know how I would.
Thank you for showing of your craft!
Nice job. It’s helpful to show people what a good bench jeweler can actually do. Thanks for the video! 💚
My cousin was a real jeweler and I loved to see his work. No piece was alike. Thank you for continuing such a beautiful, yet dying craft.
This was so beautiful to watch. Incredible craftsmanship.
Ok so I thought I'll either be bored to tears or love this. Thank goodness it was the latter! Really enjoyed the style of the video, explanations, and music! Thank you for this 😊
This is absolutely amazing! So beautiful, incredible work.
Love this ring. Your honesty is so refreshing!
great piece of work the difference is amazing there are jewellers and there are jokers keep up your great fantastic work bobby
I love watching artists. I love the technical aspects of jewelry making. It’s calming. It’s like crack to me.
Tommy you absolutely killed the shots and editing on this video, nice job!!! You guys are a very talented team
His work is like beautiful art work and very well executed
I would love to learn craftsmanship like this.
I've only seen 2 vids and I already love this channel

Absolutely brilliant and what an art. Thank you for sharing this video :-) such an eye opener.
Great choice in music, I loved this video style Bobby
Amazing Bobby. Thank you for the beautiful journey into your work. I will not forget so quickly.
I have this exact if not literally ring! My partner proposed to me in Mallorca in July, this is the ring, to the exact detail. I love every inch of it, it really shows in the craftsmanship it’s quality 🥰
It's absolutely STUNNING!
Very good and relaxing video! This is exactly why I prefer handcrafted work above massive machine production. If you can afford to pay a (little) bit more, please support this magical kind of handwork.
I know absolutely nothing about jewellery or jewellery-making, but loving your videos. The craftsmanship is unbelievable.
Thank you for this video
Beautiful work
So beautiful. i get mesmerised watching .
Amazing work! Loved all of the process and your explanations.

Wow absolutely love your film style!! So therapeutic! You’re so talented thanks for sharing!
This is the neatest and most organized jewelers bench I have ever seen!
The difference in design is miles better! That mass produced setting did nothing to show off that 2 carat magnificent diamond and with the diamond halo and diamonds on the shoulders it looks fantastic! Beautiful craftsmanship and such painstaking precision goes into every piece you design.
Amazing!! Love watching 😊
That was truly beautiful work. Your a true craftsman.
This is so relaxing an satisfying to watch. I love your videos 👍🏻(also: the music in the background is really fitting!!)
