@@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".

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.
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.
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.
@@NocturemRaven 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
This is why I absolutely love TH-cam. You can find yourself suck into a rabbit hole of videos you never would have even considered looking up. Fascinating stuff!
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.
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.
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.
That was a very good try Bobby at explaining Handmade vs Cast or CAD/Cast one point I could add is that a handmade ring last twice / three times that of a cast because of the work Harding
Aldo Cipollone except those solder joints will always be the weak spot... and what if future work is done on this ring by someone different and they are unaware of all the solder in this- it could open up and fall apart. Its just my opinion but this design would have been better made as a cast piece. It would still be one of a kind and hand made.
@@snowviolet508 fitst he has done a beautiful job...that said forging a split shank from one piece of metal is the correct way to do it. I thought he was doing it this way for metal savings but thats not why. I'm also not a fan of 18kw to brittle but that may be because of the nickel alloy as opposed to Palladian that most Europeans use. Cast over forged are just diferent processes both have pros and cons. End result in this video is beautifully created and I'm sure the customer will cherish.
tomasodesign - oh for sure! I never meant to disparage the perfection of his work- it’s surgeon like and undoubtedly masterful. Just so many soldered parts. Makes me nervous. But, I am totally open to being wrong. :)
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
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!
Had my soon to be wife ring custom made. Bought all of the diamonds and a large pear sapphire along with sapphires the same size of the other diamonds. Found a local place and came up with the design. Watched a few TH-cam videos did a bunch of research on mounts etc. Turned out just simply amazing and while it cost around 2k more than just an off the shelf ring we liked at the store. This turned out so much more amazing. diamonds on the sides and halo was all the same size and double the size of the ones from the store. Plus the wedding band and ring bands match unlike the store ones. I most likely could have cut out 1k easy in the cost by going with lesser quality diamonds for the band and halo but I figured for the extra 1k I might as well go all out. I still have an extra 10 diamonds and sapphires to make her a pair of earrings in the future.
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.
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!
Your eyes are amazing! I appreciate diamonds and gold mainly because of the way in which Mother Nature creates the most amazing colours the best beautiful stones and they’re underground made for the fun of it.
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 😊
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 🥰
I loved the ring. Your work is fantastic... I was an apprentice goldsmith throughout college at a custom jeweler. Hand made in the "old style" using actual files and true metal work is way better than casting something and then just polishing it out...
This is amazing✨ love watching and learning about the process.. I always wanted to be a jeweller when I was growing up.. but for some reason just thought it was too big of a dream lol.. I suppose it’s never too late though!
But seriously, hats 🎩 off to the crafting vs. the mass produced mount. And what an impressive tool bench. Wowza. People don’t understand the investment of tools and supplies a bench jeweler has to make.
Your talent and technique are an obvious thrill to watch. But I really appreciate seeing how every move is done with precision and purpose, nothing is wasted. All your videos provide such good mentoring and professionalism. Thank you and keep it going.
You don’t wanna be losing the 2ct stone....... I would love a ring like the one you made, it was incredible. Truly fascinating process. Such craftsmanship.
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.

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".

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.
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!
Seeing you working gave me so much peace

I've only seen 2 vids and I already love this channel
I would love to learn craftsmanship like this.

*All about heart and soul.*
Nice job. It’s helpful to show people what a good bench jeweler can actually do. Thanks for the video! 💚
Fab video,loved the fact that every step is so precise,and at the end the most beautiful ring.
Love watching a skilled craftsman work and create, almost sensual and like a meditation.
He looks so at peace making these, I had to suscribe ❤️
Gorgeous, beautifully done so perfect 😍😍😍😍👌👌👌✨✨✨✨✨Amazed
That was truly beautiful work. Your a true craftsman.
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
I loved the ring. Your work is fantastic... I was an apprentice goldsmith throughout college at a custom jeweler. Hand made in the "old style" using actual files and true metal work is way better than casting something and then just polishing it out...
But casting IS an old method. You can find examples in Mesopotamian jewelry from five thousand years ago.
Mate you're a master craftsman.
Great choice in music, I loved this video style Bobby
Wow! Such attention to detail... such craftmanship... artistry... drop-the-mic.
Much love from Texas USA 💍💍
The difference in the two are insane. Luckily for the client they got you to make it. 👏🏻🍻
This is amazing✨ love watching and learning about the process.. I always wanted to be a jeweller when I was growing up.. but for some reason just thought it was too big of a dream lol.. I suppose it’s never too late though!
You’re right Danny, It’s never too late.
You are a master. Really beautiful. Not only does it look better, but the old setting was very risky to lose that diamond,
Love that you switched up the music for this video
That is my EXACT ring. Right down to the ct. weight. 😍
I love it sooo much.
TH-cam has taken me down a rabbit hole again. Not disappointed.
Stunning work even for a metallurgist, that's some serious craftsmanship taking years if not decades of expertise!
subscribed, i had lost my love of jewelry making but watching this got the mojo back.
I learn so much watching your videos. And I admire your style and craftsmanship. Cheers!
What can I say it’s simply ..........magic. And I’m jealous ❤️

this seems like a way more intricate process than it appears to be, given all the thought and consideration about all the little details.
