Ryan Stockton he’s a middle man. And he gives more credit then most when he describes the process and shows each guy doing his part with their name. This is what high end (and even low end I think) jewelry is like. People, especially famous people want to talk once and then get their shit, now have to go through hassle or worry that they’re getting fucked. Everyone wins.
@tobydammit - thanks for the feedback! when we launch shows we typically keep them shorter, and when fans like you demand longer episodes we do our best to make it happen!
if anyone can get away with it, ben baller can. he's been in the game for yeeears. if u watch his interviews, he signed jayz, he worked with dr dre, 2pac, etc. ben baller didn't just get put on out of nowhere. he's been putting in WORK. and it shows in his ballerness
What you talking about son? That's because you not in tha celebrity scene. People in that world absolutely know who Ben Baller is. He been on the scene for over 20 years. He helped get Jay-Z his first record deal back in the 90's. He was the movie "Cake", so he has done some movies. That's cat is a balla. He's done jewelery to pretty much everybody in Hollywood. His company makes millions of dollars a year. Don't hate the playa, hate the game. Ben Baller is da shit!!
LOL I can tell some of ya'll don't know shit about jewelry saying that this piece wasn't worth $20K. an oz.of gold costs roughly $1755.70. The chain alone was 150 grams which is roughly $8,470. On the pendant he used 6 carats of vvs diamonds which can range $850-$1000 a carat. So the diamonds cost roughly $5,100 to $6,000 and the 72 grams of gold used to make the pendant is about $4,070.. So off materials alone the chain cost $17,640 to $18,540 + the $2,360-$1460 for labor = a $20,000 piece
Yeah because he founded the company lmao. Thats like saying Tim Cook takes too much credit for the iPhone when some chinese people are making it across the world. Thats how capitalism works kid
As of 9/29/2012 gold was worth $1,767.70 per Troy oz. A Troy oz. is 31.1 grams. So 100% gold is worth $56.84 per gram. 14k is not pure gold, it is only 58.3% pure. This makes each gram of 14k gold worth $33.16 at the current price. I'm not really sure why so many people liked your comment but you forgot to factor in that the chain is 14k Gold
Clean chain, been following Ben for a minute now..since the myspace days, nice to see his show running. I thought it would go a little bit more into his life, past the jewelry game tho.
He doesn't actually make any jewelry himself huh?
shit don't look like 20 racks
"One of his biggest lines - keys open doors!"
Ben Baller has actually grown on me a ton. I love this show now.
Dj Mustard's Chain At 3:56
20k but you wrap it up in paper????
The real ones in the back making the jewelry pieces are amazing at what they do!!
“I met up with Pusha T… that fool wants to go Old School…” lol
Ben Baller needs a show!!! Id so watch this.. 30 min wld be dope (:
He needs to do a philthy rich episode
I like this! Very entertaining and beautiful piece!

You gotta do a show again bro
Ben baller is the kind of guy who will floss with the starts but never pays the bills.
“Say no more” 😂😂
Big Ben Baller! really respect this guys hustle
This is the best piece I seen him do.
Ben is the man from way back.. my dude
Ben Baller's persona and the way he dresses is just funny. Its like "Im a thug" but work with only millionaires.. Just a confused "player"
A 20k piece to one man is generational wealth to another. Shout out to you sir! Cheers mates!!
Who ever filmed this TV show is awesome.
Pusha just spent his entire advance.
Ben Baller was TV Johnny before TV Johnny was TV Johnny !
So realistically ben is the guy seen as the amazing jeweller yet he has people doing all the mouldings and pieces for him then he takes credit 😂

I WANT MORE BEN BALLER
Bring this series back
Great episode. Really well-constructed. Just wish it was longer.
I want that hat Pusha T has on when he gets the chain.
this piece was beautiful DAMN
please make the ben baller videos longer. just like a regular tv show episode. verrrry interesting :))))))))))))))
Wow, this is really nice. I usually don't like the charms that are commissioned, but this really looks incredible.
longer episodes please
@tobydammit - thanks for the feedback! when we launch shows we typically keep them shorter, and when fans like you demand longer episodes we do our best to make it happen!
THis needs to be on tv!!
I want to see when Jonas had the gold panda made. That was the craziest peace Ben has ever commissioned in my opinion.
if anyone can get away with it, ben baller can. he's been in the game for yeeears. if u watch his interviews, he signed jayz, he worked with dr dre, 2pac, etc. ben baller didn't just get put on out of nowhere. he's been putting in WORK. and it shows in his ballerness
Pusha's "Soapbox' jacket is suite.
Looks good dope old school piece i want one
Ben Baller!!!.... GREETINGS From Australia #Salut On The Show Congratulations

Ben Baller For President 2012
Haaa!.... It looks like Ben Baller was wearin a 424 on Fairfax chain in the beginning... whaaaat

Fabi Aguila facts ben really been in the culture from all angles , he gotta be pushin 50 soon
@amakou - the music in this episode is all original. the tracks were commissioned by Ben and the producers specifically for this show.
THAT SHIT COULD BE MY COLLEGE TUITION.
Oh man that's the chain he wore on the numbers video!
Damn,that dookie rope is clean.
He can definitely get picked up for a half hour show easy.
$20,000 for a diamond-encrusted Mercedes Benz chain. How flashy and wasteful.
These episodes should be at least 10 min, and show more of the proces of making.
best web series
We need a Bangerz Club chain
i want pusha T's snapback so bad...
Word! I have that same camo jacket at 1:43!

Dope show!
I like this more episodes
My uni tuition just went into a chain
He doesn't cosign with the blood diamond trade you're thinking of.
Dude, forreal, Ben Baller is fucking real, and that makes me fucking love the guy.
King Push
Shit looks crooked lol look closely
yo good vid is it possible to know the songs used in this video ? thx a lot
wtf baller takes too much credit, he didn't even make the chain and i bet the guys working in the back are underpaid
yes they are so underpaid that they drive lambos
Yeah because he founded the company lmao. Thats like saying Tim Cook takes too much credit for the iPhone when some chinese people are making it across the world. Thats how capitalism works kid
anrewsin nigga fuck cook
anrewsin yep capitalism
Make episode longer!!!!!!!!!
TV Johnny Dang could probably drop Ben baller
I'm illuminati. Just kidding but from an interview he did.
As of 9/29/2012 gold was worth $1,767.70 per Troy oz. A Troy oz. is 31.1 grams. So 100% gold is worth $56.84 per gram.
14k is not pure gold, it is only 58.3% pure. This makes each gram of 14k gold worth $33.16 at the current price.
I'm not really sure why so many people liked your comment but you forgot to factor in that the chain is 14k Gold
In yo pushaaaa
Definitely getting my pendant from If&co if someone should do a pendant it should be pro's like Ben Baller.
Pretty awesome show... who woulda thunk jewelry dealing / creating would be so interesting.
G G Grinding... Grin-ding🎵 so this is show isn't just pure comedy like 'the hundreds' episode
would look better with yellow " dimooooondssssss " whaaaaaaa lol
he just talks...his team does the real work at the shop
he also looks stressed when the clients say how soon they want it
You're right about the gold calculation.. I forgot to take in the fact that that is the price of 24k oz. appreciate the correction
I want one of these!!
@Michelle Larsen - Watsky is on hiatus while he finishes up his album. tell him to hurry up and release the album, because you want a second season!
BEN BALLER BOSS!!!
So how exactly was he involved in making the chain?
Yeah, i saw your comment after i posted mine but decided to leave it anyhow
Specifically, all music is created by The Stereotypes.
how many times do they need to dap?
ben baller형님 respect!
im from the UK what show is this???? looks sick
He is about that bread
They decided to do it in this format instead of television. They could have been on TV if they wanted.
looking for those diamonds
What the fuck? This shit is like pimp my ride, pawn stars, storage wars combined
Clean chain, been following Ben for a minute now..since the myspace days, nice to see his show running. I thought it would go a little bit more into his life, past the jewelry game tho.
Did anyone get the metaphor he used at the end lol
HEY LOUD! so, is there ever going to be another 'watsky makes an album' episode?
haha thats exactly what i was saying
yo this is dope i fucks with ben
What brand are his shades?
this is 50
brought me here
well ben what exactly do you do??
even if he didn't exactly write it himself, he obviously believes it and co-signed it by SAYING it.
CORRECTION! Pusha T was brought in by The Neptunes,not Pharrell on his own
who make these beat?? is fucking dope!!
