Meet the Jeweler Blinging Out Beyoncé and Travis Scott
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2018
- In 1988, Eva Sam immigrated to the United States with her family from Macao. Coming from a long lineage of jewelry sellers and makers, Eva naturally took the same route and opened Popular Jewelry in the heart of New York’s Chinatown. Although business started out slow, one day, the rap gods shined down upon the store. After Wu-Tang Clan’s Cappadonna visited, hip-hop stars like Beyoncé, Travis Scott, Macklemore and A$AP Rocky began to follow. Today, hip-hop’s “gold mother” has become a staple in the music community, and is lovingly known as A$AP Eva.

“I like A$AP Rocky’s music video...”
“Because I like to watch my merchandise....”
Lol
You wouldnt watch his videos for the vocals
Johnny Knoxville
OHHHHHHHHHHH
@@rosevampire3755 want an autograph ?
Johnny Knoxville
Yesss
You mean merchandi
This lady is low key more gangster than half the gangsters that shop there.
You kiss your mother with that mouth?
@@outlaw9889 r/whooosh
She actually seems quite quiet and tame
@@user-ng9dr1sk1p its actually ninja most inspirational quote
@@andrasreal lmao
When you laugh at her English, She laughs at your bank account
@AppleJuice lmfao she doesn’t need to know how to drive if she can pay for someone to do that for her 😂
@AppleJuice racist
@AppleJuice Can’t even type properly and a racist. Pick a struggle.
@AppleJuice says a tasteless cheap apple juice 🤭
@AppleJuice Can you drive through a 4 side intersection with no red lights and have cars coming right at you on every direction but manage to get pass? Yeah I bet you can't so shut up.
"I like to watch my merchandise"
Savage😂
21 savage
Hugo Animal wonder if he go there
I love how it's a family business and how sweet she is!!!
Nicci BigBird I don’t.
"The day her son was born, She went back to work" Dafuq
Typically Asian, Middle-Eastern, Indian and African thing..family bussines. They hardly hire non-family.
"This is my mom. She gets me cookies."
_-Good relationships with cookies I have._
I can't seem to evade Maiq. I thought he was always hard to find but I've seen u in the comments of a music sheet boss video and a skyrim video, both in the past week lol
lmao i wass the 2000th like
i pressed then it became 2k
he said granny though 😋
YODA?!
Those are some expensive cookies 😂
I've actually met her and bought a chain link from her store she's such a sweet lady
ObiDaSauceMan I met her and took a pic with her
@@maggieli6228 Same she actually asked me if I rapped probably because the way I was dressed 😂
@@obidasauceman6140 lol
@Fahad Nezam 3,984 initially but since I got it custom made it was around 5
damn that is expensive...
Even a robber wouldnt rob from A$AP EVA.
Why?
gentleman omar they’ll have goons on them lmfao
gentleman omar then rappers will send their bodyguards to search up for the guy who robbed lmfao
Who wouldnt 👀
If a robbery even touched her. Like a thousand rappers have her side and probably a thousand more gangsters (remember this is New York) have her side.
"I dont treat them like customers, I treat them like my children!" Blessings to this lady!🙏🏾
Me having an asian mom....
shes still really sweet atleast :D
Who would’ve thought the one pimping out every rapper ever would just be a nice lady from macau
Hello there. How are you? Its nice to meet you, and I wish to keep in touch. Where are you from? I love those too
lmao true
*She’s my second mom in New York*
That’s a great relationship the customers have with her.
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere?
All that and she didn't upgrade the store
if it ain't broke.
Don't upgrade it 👀
It's already at the Max lv. Bro 😁😁😁
i guesd there's a charm to it...
I know, it’s a dead meme, but..
It’s a level 99 -boss- Gold shop.
I would love to have her job. It looks awesome.
UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS It will be really hard and a lot of investment. Plus you are competing other asian jewelers. My grandma had a shop in ny but it was too competative plus lots of robberies ans now moved down in cali
go away
BROOO WTF HOW ARE U EVERYWHEREEEE
umm... you need asian math skills
No vacation tho, na...
I’m not dying until I hear a A$AP Rocky song featuring A$AP Eva.
" I don't treat them like a customer, I treat them like my own kids"
That's so sweet of her. I would love to visit her and buy her creations :)
Everybody gangsta till A$AP Eva pulls out a glock from under the counter
*Glock raps intensifies*
I literally went there, not knowing that so many celebrities went there. I was so confused like what are these things on the wall and then I saw Chris Wu and then Macklemore and I was like awe shit
Hello there. How are you? Its nice to meet you, and I wish to keep in touch. Where are you from? I love those too
*BLING BLING*
bling bling
Cing cing.
Ging Ging
ming ming.
zing zing
She looks like that Asian grandma that looks really sweet and force feeds you cookies but is actually gangster af
“I got a lot of nickname they give me.”
But what matters is that they give me money for my merchandise.
- All Asian moms.-
Kee Aun Tan SO TRUEE HAHAH
As a level of jeweler (I wire wrap,can set,do low profile silver smithing and I can Cabochon gemstones and minerals) I appreciate this so much. Killin' it. The jewelry business can become cut throat so hats off to her and her family.
*Okay. Bling bling! bling! 🤣😂*
Did she say that? 2:01 oof
She’s super sweet!! My husband and I travel to her store for all of our pieces ✨ very high quality and great prices.
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere?
Her shop is like the Ollivander’s of jewelers and I love it
I love how she generally just love what she does everyday. Not a lot of adults can say that
So hardworking! Went straight back to work after her son was born.
Love these people! 🙏🏼❤️
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere??
This probably the most sweetest thing ive ever seen yet.
Stay Gold Eva Sam! 🏆💛💰🔑 *Bling Bling* *Cha-Ching*
Amazing how humble she is with the ice she has
She really gave birth on Monday and went back to work on Tuesday!!! Wowww
Resaaboo it’s possible after giving birth you can be back on your feet within hours but its not recommended to lift and etc
This woman has a lot of dedication put into this.
When I was in ChinatwonChinatown I met her in her store, very amazing lady❤
this store is Amazing, I walk by it everyday in Chinatown
Today is October 3rd today!!
Happy 20th anniversary to Popular Jewellery!!
Can't wait to go to her store!!!
I’m from NYC Ava is the big homie her & her family is super cool they got a lifetime customer with me ❤
Happy anniversary popular jewelry!
I’m so glad she’s doing what she wants to do 🤗 ! , I rarely see that happen because people feel they will be judged . ): like no BIHHH U GOT THIS U CAN SHINE
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere?!!!
Popular is always my fav when I go to NY. Eva always hooks it up!
I visited this store and their selection of jewelry is so wide and she is the sweetest. Even got a picture with her.

robber: put yo hands up
A$AP Eva: u can't rob us son
Robber: *sighhh* fineee how much for the chains
😭😂😂
NATE HIGGERS it was quite funny
You 12 years old?
I remember walking past this place when I went back to New York. I was just like “oh hey I remember seeing this place on TH-cam or something”
I love the way she said platinum. It makes me smile
this is so wholesome
Damn taht store needs more security
Nah nobody wanna rob a bunch of rappers “gold mommy”
@@luvmywohdes1464 facts, the rappers and their bodyguards as well as legit gangsters and successful thugs (who can be her customers) would rain down a tracking and beating and worse for any fool messing with their source
When A$AP Eva gonna drop an album?
I met this lady today in the store she was super nice and funny I’m definitely coming back
I met her...Very very kind woman love her ❤️
I met her she’s so nice and chill
She’s a hustler and I respect that
I salute you great big story for putting wifisfuneral in this video
this is such a cuteee story
Nice!
Edit: Thank you for the likes!
This video's date means it was done for the thirtieth anniversary of opening the store. That's REALLY COOL! As of this writing, the place has been open for thirty-three years and one day. :)
So much math, good job 😁 💕

Glad a legend was the 1st to make the store popping
That was awesome 😱
need money to make money unfortunately,
but still super happy for her, that she's in it for love out of her love of the craft
I literally love this cuz her store is like blocks away from my house
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere?!!!...
Soo much respect for her
Love it
I saw her store in China town
I’ve seen the store in person but have never gone inside.
The way she says joey badass and WiFi’s name is so fucking amazing. She’s so wholesome.
The best businesswoman indeed!! Mother..

Why didn't you wait two days and make this a 30th anniversary video?
The "Rap God" smiled down on her, a great reference haha 1:10

A$AP Eva goes hard!! 🚫🧢😤
i drove right next to her shop on canal street, it looked packed in there
Can they have a reality TV show like pawn shop that would be legit the best .
“Different colored chains, think my jeweler really sellin' fruits”
-Travs Scott
This video was back in 2018, not only that but his name still had the $ in it meaning it was probably even earlier, that song was released much more recently and more likely refering to his current jeweller Johnny Dang
@@crabato001 yes I'm aware of that my comment was a joke
@@jug6290 Where was the joke bro? What does that line have to do with this video
crabato001 a joke isn’t meant to be taken this seriously and every word isn’t meant to be dissected. Your overthinking a comment which was intended to be a joke
crabato001 the line is from Travis Scott and this video is about his jewelry
I needa go to that store😁
Beautiful Stuff. All bling.
But im scared that someone might rob the store.
Also its in a very crowded area
After watching uncut gems, I think she is actually a gangster in the jewel industry on the inside.
Hell yeah get it mama!! Such a baller 🙌
This is badass
this is far better than INSIDER videos
She's the coolest mom you don't have.
ASAP EVA the QUEEN of BLING
oh i just watched that vid lol
*empress
Was this re uploaded? Or did vice do one on her too? Either way, 👍👍
Very humble
Oldest flexed of the century
We bought my husbands replacement wedding band here. By far the best price on Canal Street.

How about you and where are you from?
Cool vid
I read beyonce and I click!👌🏼🐝
Huh? You guys reupload this vid? I wounder why? Maybe I'm thinking of a different channel
what reupload? TGBS Shot on their own. one topic and everyone made a vid about them doesnt meant thay it reuploaded.
with sam logic, it is Ariana grande singing in 2 different venue. are the promotor "reupload" Ariana? i don't think so
@@febrianeramadhanpamungkas8450 why do you care so much about my dumb comment haha
because i made money from this kinda work.
@@febrianeramadhanpamungkas8450 ok? I'm not threatening your business with a silly question. This was a minor thought that popped into my head.
that kind a silly tought can affect some of other people mindset of how producing a video content.
I must get to New York and meet the Jewelry Queen 👸! I first heard about her in 1998.
