"we didn't pay to go to school, we just paid to make these mistakes to learn run the business" is probably the best advice any young person could hear right now. Well done.
I'm quite impressed with your work I'll let you quite often and I wish I had the means to do video shows mentor and talk about three different people through the years other night I went through a basic for your apprenticeship to high school and all day Saturdays and then work for the family business for another five years and then ventured out into trade shop and then move down south to sunny Florida. Work with some high-end stuff, customers businesses excetera. But my true beginning started by breaking a crystal that my godfather gave my mother and I took it up to this new George store after my parents divorced and made dope the shopping center and there was a jewelry store and it took forever I had to get it out of Green Bay and this is Northern Wisconsin well I would stop in there just about every other day checking on that Potts Crystal and I got to know the guy by name and all that and I do anyway it's still took forever to get that Crystal.. then through the next couple months I'd be working late after hours after 9 and have the back door open and I dried up on my bike asking about the crystal? And he invited me and I sat on a stool and watch them what he was doing and ask them really good questions.. and my father taught me a lot when I was real young and when I was in junior high in early High School I was in the metals Woods sheet metal drafting excetera excetera always artistic. And then one day in late October I came in and once again asked about the Clock Crystal. And I asked Marty of Dave was in and he said he's in the back, hang on I'll get them for you. I know you came out with a cast on his wrist in his own firm.! We had an unusual early storm in late October, and he was taking a Sportster into the garage and slide out and nailed his wrist in his arm and broke them both. Had that pointy asked me if I wanted a job! And that's where the Story begins.
I don’t believe in school, i left school early to go do tons of trait work, gathering knowledge from great people and now im a plumber and I make a decent salary and im looking into starting my jewelry venture. The only thing that scares me is needing to buy the gold , diamonds $$$$
Im only 14 years old and I still have a lot of time till I can make decisions of my own. You have inspired me to think about being a jeweler myself. I'm taking design and industrial classes for freshman year. I hope to pursue this career and live the life your living right now. I love your content and I don't know why you don't have more attention.
The part about having to downsize and move operations into a garage was a crucial inclusion. I can’t imagine anyone truly successful didn’t “fail” and stumble along the way. You’ve got a great head on your shoulders. Thanks for sharing your story in earnest man.
A lot of jewelry’s today are just in it for the money, but you doing it because you love being creative and making pieces for a reason is amazing. Thank you
This is a prime example of someone knowing what they wanna do and very young age and how so blessed they are knowing this! You have been blessed with the gift and that’s what makes you a great jeweler! Yes you studied hard and you learned your craft but you have a natural talent and that’s what’s so wonderful about your gift! At 65 years old I have seen many of people like you that have a gift and they have made a great living in all types of service. However I think it’s a gift plus hard work both combined. Congratulations to you and your beautiful gift!
I love making things. I used to spend all my evening after school picking up scrap metal in the DT workshop and making them into keychains and rings. I kinda realised as I got older that if I had the resources.. I could make whatever I wanted really.. i’ve ended up making my double bed, desk, wardrobe and a couple of rings (non out of precious metals, I dont trust myself yet). Would love to make jewellery one day because being at Uni is a ball ache.
Start with silver, and get yourself a teacher. Silver's not too expensive, and if you really can't afford it, copper is a decent alternative, but you're still gonna want to use silver solder. If you can't afford courses (not per se full-time, even just one evening a week works too), watch a lot of youtube and other stuff. Consume as much stuff as you can, there's so much online. Once you get better, get more specific. Learn what you like, learn what you're good at, and just keep improving. And last but perhaps the best tip: If you feel like you're getting good at something or made a really great piece, take it to a jeweler (not just a shop, but one with a workshop in house) and ask them to criticize your piece. It's not nice for your ego but it's good for your learning.
One year later, you have more than doubled your subscribers while continuing to create beautiful jewelry pieces. That’s impressive! I’m new to your channel and didn’t know of your humble beginnings. Failure is a certainty in life so it’s how you pick yourself back up. Well Done!
Not going to lie, your videos are a treat to watch and one is especially true. Great to get to know more about you and your brother. Your success is WELL deserved xx
When I saw that yellow diamond, I near fell off the chair. And that ring that collapses is brilliant! Oh my nerves, I hope I win the lottery! You are the best!
So I recently started mulling over the idea of becoming a jeweler. I'm 40 and really feel like it's a "time is ticking" decision for me. Kind of like a now or never type of deal. I am what most people would call a Jack of all trades, but I'm never more at home than when I'm designing. I absolutely live in the zone when creating for others. This has inspired me and truthfully intimidated me a bit. Dude your ring was "Get the F out of here" cool. Absolutely stunning. That inspires, but then I look at how much time may still be on my clock and the commitment needed to become good to great at the profession is the intimidating part of it to me. How much time do I have left to dedicate myself to something foreign and off of my beaten paths? lol. I'm going to binge more of your videos and see if it really puts some coals on this smolder I have going here. You are inspiring.
Bobby, I am a jeweler in Ohio in the US. I am 48 now and have been a jeweler since I was 16, I apprenticed for 6 years before I really got a good job as a bench jeweler. I love your videos, they are an inspiration to an old guy like me. I love to see how other jewelers make their jewelry. I too own a small shop in Central Ohio. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing more of your awesome work. Thank You
no..it really doesn't, he himself said that he got lucky. How many people are out there that stayed true to themselfes and never achieved something great? Many. You just don't hear about them like you hear about these stories of success.
Love your work, your videos, and your story Bobby. I just finished my first year of my apprenticeship and I can say you are EXACTLY right about hardly knowing anything after your first year. You definitely know a lot more than you did when you began, but in terms of knowing anything beyond the basics of jewelry making and repair, you are just now starting to scratch the surface. I just got hired by a well-known and respected company in Birmingham/AL and I'm working under jewelers that have 16 years, 24 years, and 35 years of experience. And they still learn new things every day. It can be overwhelming once you realize how much there is to learn, but it's incredible how rewarding mastering new skills can be. Bobby, your work is some of the best I've seen in the world, and I have to thank you for being such an inspiration to me. Your work inspires me and challenges me and we've never even met. I'm hoping one day that will change.
This is great! I’m going to share with some of my high school students who are going to enter college and study metal arts and jewelry. This is just the kind of information they need to hear. Thanks Bobby!
Dutchgamertje2011NL360codplayer I used to make plasticine ancient Greek famous statues when I was 9 years old. In smaller scale, obviously about 15-20cm. The smallest was about 10cm, a bust of the goddess Hera.
I know this an old video, but as a fellow East londoner, i wanted to say congrats on your success as a jeweler and businessman. I've been engagement ring shopping with my fiance and your channel has been valuable for doing research. Hometown Glory!
What a humble and touching story, it takes a lot of courage to share with ppl your lows and loses, but it shows the true character of a person. U got a lot to be proud and happy for brother!, Cheers!
Loved hearing about your journey. I began in seed beads, then wire. 20 years later I am just learning the torch and wax. I love seeing what you create and can not wait to see what you have for us next.
I am now middle aged and I started a couple of years ago after I dropped dead. I have been cutting stones for over a decade as a hobby, then thought I should make actual pieces. You are right it is all practice. I make simple things again and again, and again so it is like muscle memory. Thank you for ideas and inspiration
That’s what many people don’t understand what to become a jeweler it takes time and effort to get to that level some people think what just look videos on UA-cam or asking people how to do it in Facebook they going to learn to become a jeweler, only a few born with the talent to be a jeweler for someone’s it’s a lot more easier because with born on the family trade and it’s in our blood and those skills come naturally, nice to see people like you on this world of the jewelry industry, good luck .
i hear you brother. it takes yearsssss to become a Master jeweler. lots of hard work/re-makes/patience/and frustration till you finally nail it. love your videos.
I started my career as a jeweler/gem setter trainee for Tiffany's a couple months ago. Totally fell into the career by accident with no experience with jewelery whatsoever. Had no idea what I was doing and had to learn on the spot, super stressful at first but I figured it out as I went along xD I fell in love with it the first week and want to keep learning all I can, and someday start my own business down the line. This was a great video! Very inspring!
@@nunyabiznes3901 Ok so basically, the facility where the jewelry is made (don't wanna dox myself lol) was having trouble finding experienced jewelers for a while. So they thought, "Well if we can't find jewelers, then why don't we make them?" So they put together a training program with people of all different levels of experience to be in this program. I knew almost nothing about jewelry but I worked my ass off to learn what I needed to. Don't know if it's just this location or across the board, but apparently I was the 4th person to ever be trained by them in this program. Essentially, I was a "guinea pig". I'm pretty sure they wanted to see what would happen if you took some random kid with no experience off the street and put them into this program, see what happens after a month or two lol. In other words, I was extremely lucky and I was in the right place at the right time. I wanted to change career paths, heard they were hiring. So I signed an application, didnt think anything of it. Tbh, I didn't expect to hear anything and was just resigned to find a sous chef job (what I was doing for five years at this point) Long story short, things moved REALLY fast and within a week of applying i got hired for the training program now I'm working full time for them and I've been there ever since! I actually plan on going to GIA in NYC to get my gemologist certificate! I'm pretty much one of the walking examples of "Fake it till you make it" because eventually, you'll get the hang of it haha
Bobby bruv, I could totally tell you were exactly how you claim to be. It translates very well in your work and your pieces. Good to know my assumptions were as well correctly made. I enjoy your channel and hope to see new creations coming soon.
Hats off to your perseverance and your hard work. The support from your brother and loved ones is of paramount importance to succeed, and now everything goes smoothly. Well done and thank you for telling us your story. 💍🔨
Hallo, Bobby at my 30 at the moment i decides to chase my dream this was something what i wanted for years. seeing you making things what i had for many years in my head made me starting to experimenting with jewelry making since a month and i found out i am quiet good at it. at the moment i make rings and set stones, want to experiment with 3d printing and casting of pendants! will start in 2021 my own business it will be a online business.. i have a healthcare/elderlycare company at the side where i earn my daily spent.. so its like a risk free journey, i want to become a master like you one day! i really appreciate your craftsmanship! Greetings from Amsterdam the Netherlands..
Much respect! This is really cool to see and you're creative with your motion pieces! I'm considering getting into metalsmith because of the artistry!🎉 Thank you for sharing ☺️
Very inspirational and encouraging thank you so much for sharing your story and your knowledge. And thank you for being real about the difficulties. It’s wonderful to see the hard work, dedication and loving, creative energy you are contributing to the industry. 👑☺️
Since I have only watched a few of your videos, I instantly knew that I liked your creativity, BUT I also knew you couldn't just be a natural jeweler, so this was very informative as to the blending of the technical aspect in which you confirmed what I believed that it takes an enormous amount of time to learn the process and of course the vision/creativity of making the jewelry. I do think I'm most fascinated with motion and transformation that you give jewelry. I know it would be such a pleasure to own one of your pieces, but I'm just not that wealthy, so I'll just have to admire your work from afar. Thank you.
I just graduated college and have no idea what i want to do. I’ve always been talented an creative at making things things with my hands. You have inspired me to pursue a career in jewelry. I just wanted to say thank you and i love your content.
Thanks for your story! I'm an apprentice now after many years of jewellery retail. My boss took the plunge and gave me an apprenticeship after I made him a fimo mock up which we cast into a piece for a client! I guess plasticine really is an amazing product that changes lives! 🤣
Hey Mr. Bobby White. I've been a jeweler for 18 years. I've always worked in someone else's shop, including a big designer who does global business. Just want you to know I love the videos. Watching you always makes me want to open my own shop, or at least bring some of my own ideas to life. Thanks for that, and good luck.
U are to be admired and looked up to Bobby White. I cannot wait to get my Bracelet...I live in the USA 🇺🇸 and I love watching u work and create...u have received what u deserve...look at the creativity and excellence in work...thank u sir...
As always Bobby white with the simple and sharp story. I love the passion and the ideas behind everything you do. I can not wait to see what you have up next!!!
Couple of things I wanted to do, 1. I like the creative, metal work and gem for jewelry. 2. Everything I did in my life was all about perfection, that drove and motivation got me to become a sous chef. I’m older now, I don’t want to work 8+ years in the restaurant industry
I've been interested in jewelry for as long as I can remember but I never even considered taking is seriously till quite recently. Thanks for the inspiring story!
Truly inspiring!! I love your esthetic. I'm hoping to do the same but it's very hard to become a bespoke jeweler😊Keep showing us your beautiful work!!!!
Growing up i have always liked jewelry but i was never really able to afford it until now. I live in Texas where Johnny Dang is so that just made me like jewelry even more. Im 22 still trying to figure out what i want to do and tbh watching your videos makes me want to become a jeweler. Love to hear about your come up Bobby keep up the grind, love from Texas!
Man, I love your videos! I've recently got into working with metals and you're inspiring me to push myself into the fine work of jewelry! Maybe 5-7 years from now, I'll be doing it...
I enjoy the process as much as the bauble finished. Finding new things to do is hard. But I'll just share a little bit. Look at the paintings of the 15th century. Jewelry is in it prominently. Each piece was the person's identity or so it seemed. Plenty to explore there and reimagine. I enjoy your channel very much. Very tactile and kind of natural mechanical.
Yes Bobby i am proud i did my 5 year jewellery apprenticeship.It has been a journey being at the jewellers bench but so rewarding,Sure there are days when a certain job give you uphill but you get it right in the end.I still go through the motions in my mind of certain jobs i made,just wish i had taken photograph's of the work i did.A very satisfying trade no doubt.
😉👍 i think you are spot on .... ITS NOT the monny or what ever ..... ITS because I like creating things with my own 2 hands and all these ideas that come to me they are just bubling to come out ...
Bobby, you guys had a videos about a year ago with your top tips for business, I can't find it anymore, is if still up? Really helped inspire in my business and would really like to see it again.
yeah. 6 years of training is probably good enough to start on your own. but again life is a learning experience. we never stop learning... BTW. i like those Franck Muller pieces you wore in the past. Great and inspiring video. thank you for sharing your story.
"we didn't pay to go to school, we just paid to make these mistakes to learn run the business" is probably the best advice any young person could hear right now. Well done.
Okay doing it.
I'm quite impressed with your work I'll let you quite often and I wish I had the means to do video shows mentor and talk about three different people through the years other night I went through a basic for your apprenticeship to high school and all day Saturdays and then work for the family business for another five years and then ventured out into trade shop and then move down south to sunny Florida. Work with some high-end stuff, customers businesses excetera. But my true beginning started by breaking a crystal that my godfather gave my mother and I took it up to this new George store after my parents divorced and made dope the shopping center and there was a jewelry store and it took forever I had to get it out of Green Bay and this is Northern Wisconsin well I would stop in there just about every other day checking on that Potts Crystal and I got to know the guy by name and all that and I do anyway it's still took forever to get that Crystal.. then through the next couple months I'd be working late after hours after 9 and have the back door open and I dried up on my bike asking about the crystal? And he invited me and I sat on a stool and watch them what he was doing and ask them really good questions.. and my father taught me a lot when I was real young and when I was in junior high in early High School I was in the metals Woods sheet metal drafting excetera excetera always artistic. And then one day in late October I came in and once again asked about the Clock Crystal. And I asked Marty of Dave was in and he said he's in the back, hang on I'll get them for you. I know you came out with a cast on his wrist in his own firm.! We had an unusual early storm in late October, and he was taking a Sportster into the garage and slide out and nailed his wrist in his arm and broke them both. Had that pointy asked me if I wanted a job! And that's where the Story begins.
💯
I love this saying!
I don’t believe in school, i left school early to go do tons of trait work, gathering knowledge from great people and now im a plumber and I make a decent salary and im looking into starting my jewelry venture. The only thing that scares me is needing to buy the gold , diamonds $$$$
Im only 14 years old and I still have a lot of time till I can make decisions of my own. You have inspired me to think about being a jeweler myself. I'm taking design and industrial classes for freshman year. I hope to pursue this career and live the life your living right now. I love your content and I don't know why you don't have more attention.
thats so awesome
I’m 13 and I’m 14 in 2 months and I’m exactly the same as you
live your "own" life, do the hard yards and live your passion- the life you will live will take care of itself.
I hope your family is extremely wealthy. Are you still on this path?
Benadryl? Drugs make it a lot harder to succeed

I love making things. I used to spend all my evening after school picking up scrap metal in the DT workshop and making them into keychains and rings.
I kinda realised as I got older that if I had the resources.. I could make whatever I wanted really.. i’ve ended up making my double bed, desk, wardrobe and a couple of rings (non out of precious metals, I dont trust myself yet).
Would love to make jewellery one day because being at Uni is a ball ache.
Protein this is so British
Tony Gunk i used to drink tea and listen to lizzy’s national anthem while I was making rings too

What are you studying at uni, you should leave and get an apprenticeship if you really don’t like uni. Much cheaper and you’d be earning immediately
This is how Bill Gates started...

Looks like Russian President because the look is straight, confident like that of VVP.
You mean the current Russian tyrant.

Thanks Bobby White, I find your transparency so refreshing.
Next year there gonna be loads of people with plasticine cars tryna get in jewelry school

Hey man I would love to see some of your work I’m a upcoming jewelry my self
Much respect! This is really cool to see and you're creative with your motion pieces! I'm considering getting into metalsmith because of the artistry!🎉 Thank you for sharing ☺️
Very inspirational and encouraging thank you so much for sharing your story and your knowledge. And thank you for being real about the difficulties. It’s wonderful to see the hard work, dedication and loving, creative energy you are contributing to the industry. 👑☺️
Since I have only watched a few of your videos, I instantly knew that I liked your creativity, BUT I also knew you couldn't just be a natural jeweler, so this was very informative as to the blending of the technical aspect in which you confirmed what I believed that it takes an enormous amount of time to learn the process and of course the vision/creativity of making the jewelry. I do think I'm most fascinated with motion and transformation that you give jewelry. I know it would be such a pleasure to own one of your pieces, but I'm just not that wealthy, so I'll just have to admire your work from afar.
Thank you.
I just graduated college and have no idea what i want to do. I’ve always been talented an creative at making things things with my hands. You have inspired me to pursue a career in jewelry. I just wanted to say thank you and i love your content.
I'm sorry but what did you study in college?
What you explained is pretty much where I'm at now. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing that. It was great to learn about your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for your story! I'm an apprentice now after many years of jewellery retail. My boss took the plunge and gave me an apprenticeship after I made him a fimo mock up which we cast into a piece for a client! I guess plasticine really is an amazing product that changes lives! 🤣
Hey Mr. Bobby White. I've been a jeweler for 18 years. I've always worked in someone else's shop, including a big designer who does global business. Just want you to know I love the videos. Watching you always makes me want to open my own shop, or at least bring some of my own ideas to life. Thanks for that, and good luck.
Thank you! I wish you the best of luck!
U are to be admired and looked up to Bobby White. I cannot wait to get my Bracelet...I live in the USA 🇺🇸 and I love watching u work and create...u have received what u deserve...look at the creativity and excellence in work...thank u sir...
That motion ring is so fucking amazing 😍👏👏 I wish I had your skills, amazing work my friend!
As always Bobby white with the simple and sharp story. I love the passion and the ideas behind everything you do. I can not wait to see what you have up next!!!
Couple of things I wanted to do, 1. I like the creative, metal work and gem for jewelry. 2. Everything I did in my life was all about perfection, that drove and motivation got me to become a sous chef. I’m older now, I don’t want to work 8+ years in the restaurant industry
Long journey to be flawless jeweler. Thank you for sharing your story. Creatively is the key

Man, I love your videos! I've recently got into working with metals and you're inspiring me to push myself into the fine work of jewelry! Maybe 5-7 years from now, I'll be doing it...
I've been at it about 2-ish years, 1 officially. After hearing that I'm just thinking there's a long way to go...
@@muhammadc2000 how’s it going?

Huge fan of your work and videos. Honestly some of the most amazing jewelry
I'm just starting as a jeweler, tomorrow is my first day. I'm glad I found your channel, awesome videos and amazing craftsmanship.
Good luck
@@BobbyWhite Thank you, I really appreciate it.
I’m sure your dad is most proud❤️!
Great story you have paid your dues,and definitely deserve your rewards.I would like to say I love your Jewelry.
As a fellow jewelry maker I admire your story. Keep up the good work
I enjoy the process as much as the bauble finished. Finding new things to do is hard. But I'll just share a little bit. Look at the paintings of the 15th century. Jewelry is in it prominently. Each piece was the person's identity or so it seemed. Plenty to explore there and reimagine. I enjoy your channel very much. Very tactile and kind of natural mechanical.
Yes Bobby i am proud i did my 5 year jewellery apprenticeship.It has been a journey being at the jewellers bench but so rewarding,Sure there are days when a certain job give you uphill but you get it right in the end.I still go through the motions in my mind of certain jobs i made,just wish i had taken photograph's of the work i did.A very satisfying trade no doubt.
😉👍 i think you are spot on .... ITS NOT the monny or what ever ..... ITS because I like creating things with my own 2 hands and all these ideas that come to me they are just bubling to come out ...
Very cool! Love your honesty, hard work, and perseverance. You also have a great creative talent. Enjoyed hearing your story.
Its crazy how far you have came.. keep it up .. this kind of thing is going to be an amazing career for you
I'm a jeweler too!! A big hug for you!!!
Bespoke style is your right way right !!
But. how to challenge. / I respect you.
