Yo since watching your video on starting a jewelry business about 3 years ago I started doing my own casting and diamond setting. I’m pay about $2.05 over spot price for 24k gold. I save a ton of money setting the stones myself. Thanks for introducing me to the industry
Jewelers in my country sell these for 3k$++ in half the size, i did this and made my own cuban 10mm 10karat 52grams for 1800$ and polished myself. Now i got people asking where i got it from🤩
@@ashleysilvester2086 i used gold coins though since they are tax free in my country. If i bought gold from refinery etc or imported it would be 25% more cost which would actually still be cheaper than a jeweler too but why pay more than you have too🤩
I am completely appreciative of u for doing this, continue to be the best in help others my friend to be business minded, I am in the military look to do a side hustle and I am going to take this step.. thank u brother to the best youtuber
I searched for how to edit the gap (pretty sure I bought the exact same file you’re using for yours) and i cannot find any useful information. An in-depth video on how to create pins and edit link gaps would be a great video idea in my opinion and would be very, very helpful. You the GOAT. Edit: Also making sprues for files without sprues on the links
@@SlavaTVOfficial thank you. I know you hear it a lot but you truly giving folks million dollar information and im trynna really run with it to success as are many others who follow your advice.
Ever since I saw your first video I have gone out and bought a 3d printer, used cg trader to hire CAD specialists to design my first custom piece and a jeweler that will cast and polish it for me till i put together the rest of the equipment to do it all! Appreciate the knowledge brotha!
@A A I haven't started selling any pieces yet. I'm in the process of getting my first one complete to learn all of the ins and outs of it being made first.
Im joinin for sure and can you make a video on making custom gold pendant custom diamond pendants I want to specialize in custom jewelry for future clients
Bro watches bust down need need that video on how to do it from step 1 please and thank you so much I’m in nyc and I’ve started making jewelry because of your videos
Nice video Slava TV, I actually just purchased a $3.00 Cuban chain so inexpensive necklace from Fensty’s Flea market with my dad, and I am loving my necklace
I’ve been binge watching a lot of your videos, and have been putting aside money to pull the trigger. Would you recommend Cuban braclets as the first item to make? Or maybe you have another video of yours you can recommend me to. I guess my question is if you were to focus on two items to start making for business, what would you suggest?
Thanks again for the videos you put out. They are really awesome. Im ordering the mars 3 pro tomarrow. I all ready have a friend who wants a 3 piece set . 14k hollow miami 10mm x 22 and matching bracelet 10mmx7 with a 10mm ring.. . This is my first client hopefully with many more to come.. any advice would help.. thank you
My issue was my 10g ring cost 70$ per gram in Seattle. I had them cast it and polish it. Was a casting house not jewelry store. That’s when I gave up on designing and 3d printing
If we’re going to start a business, how do we know what to make? Should we just make random stuff and hope or do we try to get commissions from customer?
Slava! Peace Brother! Can't say enough about the appreciation I have for these very informative and insightful videos you've produced and shared here on your channel to give the inexperienced person behind the scenes access to the jewelry industry who has an interest and desire to break into it. I'd like you to consider doing a video(s) on the following: 1. The entire breakdown of the Miami Cuban Link chain, specifically about all the exact measurements, and the different types of box lock clasp designs, mostly on the larger chains. Are there standard measurements, or can you design it however you like in a sense? I particularly want to know what's the gap/space measurement between each link? I've seen several exact-sized chains with various link gaps, but both are Miami Cuban Link chains. 2. All of the economics around the costs associated with each stage of making a Miami Cuban Link chain, or whatever piece, just sharing all the numbers in one video. I learned a lot about all the industry standard numbers above the spot price incurred from manufacturing jewelry yourself that you've shared, but they were spread across multiple videos, versus in one single video. And it'd be cool to offer a PDF document download of all those numbers to have a "cheat sheet" if you would that could be referenced prior to negotiating in person and/or via phone. Also include the numbers (percentage) of what would be received/paid out from a refiner for melting down scrap gold and/or gold jewelry (I believe you said 98% of the spot price), which is great to know so you're always aware what your state of liquidity is in dollar amount. Which again, as you stated makes this a win/win business you can't really lose in. 3. Stamping: 14k mark on chains and a company logo on box lock clasps. Most appreciated!
Thank you bro, I appreciate that and I apologize for the delayed response. I will absolutely break all of that down. I forget to mention in this video that the reason why I lost so many grams compared to the last chain is because this bracelet was filed down just like a handmade one, and that's why labor was so expensive
Is it possible to make a only earring and ring jewelry business? I want to do everything at home it’s gonna be something I do in the side and I can use machines to do it all
I have a 3D printer and I can solder myself. What direction should I go in? I want to make Cuban brackets and chains for myself and friends and family (moneys no issue)
@@SlavaTVOfficial thanks bro. I’m down to do everything myself and get all the stuff as a hobby and if I get good I’ll make it another business. What would you recommend to get started for someone looking to make their own jewelry and maybe set stones on some bracelets and chains
Appreciate you!! Your content is fire.. brought my printer & taking a trip to NY after I get my designs finished. Can you discuss $1.50 over spot? I understand that price is based on forming a relationship with a caster. What is a realistic price we can expect to pay for quality casting? From research I see on reddit, jewelers are claiming $1.50 is unrealistic & that $3 is a beyond amazing deal.. Thanks for all your info.. giving everything a try & documenting my results on my channel!
I heard if you microwave the resin too heat it up before 3D printing it comes out more crisp and the uv rays are more effective. What you think about that?
I appreciate you bro just bought all the supplies I need to cast my own jewelry I live in bk I have everything except for a polishing machine it's not that it's too much money it's that i don't know the skills of polishing jewelry I'm just worried about the loss of gold I'm focusing on making 14kt for lower weight pendants chains and rings. what is your advice should i polish the jewlery my self and collect the gold with an arbe polishing machine that has a built-in gold dust collector or i have to bring my cast pieces to a professional polisher
I say try it out and see what you like more, I would pay someone who is skilled to teach you that's the best way to learn. If its too much of a hassle you can always pay someone to polish
Polishing yourself saves $$$ but takes time and effort to learn correctly. Maybe start out aging someone and erecting cash flow and take the financial hit. Then when you have capital or are selling volume you may just find it better for you time and profit margin to keep doing so, especially if you are doing volume and develop a relationship with the polisher and can get a better rate.
Once you get the gold casted is it gold plated or is it solid gold? Also if it is only gold plated can you ask them to make it solid gold rather than plated
So i understand that a lot of jewelers buy chains in bunches and if theyre more thicker then they make it but does that only go for cuban style chains? What about ropes, snake and other styles? If we need thicker ones.
Yo wassgud my man so I dont got a jewlery district in my state does it work if I call the one in L.A and see if I can send the wax in mail or they dont do that? thanks for your information
You have the best most informative videos I’m waiting on the how to cast your own jewelry video that’s what I been trying to learn for a long time god bless you for putting out this information you the best man 💯🙏🏼
I have capital to start I am highly interested in doing 90% in house. Is stainless steel the best metal to use for practice? And cheap gems like CZ etc? Anyone want to work together on this?
Твой брат Влад очень помог мне. Спасибо вам что делитесь такой ценной информацией. Скажи, реально ли реализовать подобный бизнес в странах СНГ, такие как Казахстан или Россия?
My problem is sales. Ebay had nothing but fraudulent buyers. What's the most effective way to sell jewelry if you don't have the resources to open a store front?
Came here to see somebody hand making and filing links not some 3d printed shit. Those eBay sales have taken years and years to accumulate, eBay charges huge fees, tons of those get returned and many sellers get scammed. Their profits are nowhere close to what you said.

Great content bro!
Thank you!
Nice 😎 bro
Can you do a video on silver bracelets?
Bro make video on how to remove or clean extra gold after casting jewelry
I will do that
Nice, the real way by hand doesn’t use a printer but cool either way.
Is it possible to make a only earring and ring jewelry business? I want to do everything at home it’s gonna be something I do in the side and I can use machines to do it all
How do you make a Herringbone Patter???
When making a chain would it be practical to find someone to put the chain together or do I have to manually link the chain myself
Can you share your polisher info? I'm in DTLA.
Yo bro I want to learn how to make jewelry and I got a bag for you bro , I have a couple questions though , is it no way to talk otp with you?
What are your printer settings for this resin? I just upgraded to the mars elegoo 3 pro
Brother! Any idea if there are these types of services available in Canada?
I’m a newbie bro, can I ask what u mean by we should aim on paying 1.50 over the spot price ?
I can't find that POWERRESINS Primer strong adhesive resin, where is that from?
Can we get the links to cast gold ourselves
I have a 3D printer and I can solder myself. What direction should I go in? I want to make Cuban brackets and chains for myself and friends and family (moneys no issue)
If you can solder and polish then your only expense will be casting

1.50 I was saying how can he even get that even for chains it be like 2 mm yet be so much even if it like 4 grams and it be 10k
Thank you I appreciate that. Yes that price is based on relationships, most will start you out at $3
@Slava TV man I be getting charged for example i have talk people down and they be giving me 4 to 5 grams abd it 14k
what city are you in?
so you need prob over £2000 to start because you also have to make all that inventory
Nice thanks bro
Thanks
My pleasure
I heard if you microwave the resin too heat it up before 3D printing it comes out more crisp and the uv rays are more effective. What you think about that?
A never do that, I've never had issues with prints
If I don’t want to put links myself where can I go to do that
How did you edit the file to make a bigger gap
Can you upload the STL/3dm file?

Once you get the gold casted is it gold plated or is it solid gold? Also if it is only gold plated can you ask them to make it solid gold rather than plated
if you get gold casted its solid gold. You can plate any metal. In order to make a non gold plated ring solid gold you would have to make a new ring
So i understand that a lot of jewelers buy chains in bunches and if theyre more thicker then they make it but does that only go for cuban style chains? What about ropes, snake and other styles? If we need thicker ones.
yes that applies to all chains, the labor on those chains are less
@Slava TV is it possible to cast a rope or snake chain or would we need special equipment?
Wonderful 🎉
Where can I buy gold so I can start making jewelry ?
How did you polish the link inside?
This was amazing brorher you did a wicked job on it is there anyway you could create some gold chains & Pendants for me ?

Please make a video on how to cast.. thanks
Gonna happen ,just wants to sell machine and resin

B.) How big to make holes?
C.) How many links to print?
