Don't miss part 2&3!!
⭐️ Part 2! How to start your own jewelry brand! th-cam.com/video/CT057M9vlfE/w-d-xo.html
⭐️ Part 3! How to sell your jewelry! th-cam.com/video/ImSUYYtTmYM/w-d-xo.html
In these videos I share which steps were essential in creating my own brand. It's about brainstorming stage, coming up with the name, branding, social media, packaging and more! And then how to go about selling your craft and jewelry, what options do you have, what you need to consider.
⭐️ Enjoyed this video? Why not check out similar one!

You inspired me to believe that I could start silversmithing...and I did! I had my very first sale yesterday! I'm loving every minute of it. I can't stop thinking about it. I can't quit dreaming up ideas. I can't quit buying beautiful stones. My Rio Grande wish list is a mile long. I appreciate you and how you continue to inspire me and other "self taught" artists. Thank you!
How? I want too, but no enough money and time (also doesn't know where or how to start/learn)
Me too but what is Rio grande. Im trying to find somewhere to get the songs
***stones
Wow! This is really what I want to do now like make jewelries from silver and crystals raw crystal make my own designs etc I loooove Crystal's I'm soo drawn to it I just don't know where or how to begin.
Hiya, how are you doing now? Still, selling? Still, getting that tingle? I hope so. Stay safe, Steve...
im just 12 and planning to make a jewellery brand
this has been a motivation
Awesome! Super excited for you! 😊😍
You are just like me but you are two years younger than me and you are already making jewelry I thought I was at a unique age for someone to make jewelry anyways I hope you succeed.
@@evanglad5413 Hey can I chat with you on Instagram? MY ID- @abrandeepak
Congratulations baby
@Gabriel Mondragon Thanks! I'm doing High and Fine jewellery
I started my beginners silversmith class today and was so discouraged, I cried in the car after the 4 hour class. I go back tomorrow for another 4 hours and because of you and a couple of very uplifting girls in my class, I am going to go back, and I am determined. I guess sometimes it's not the actual teachers, but the good people on the sidelines that make you realize you are capable...i really thank you for this video! It was nothing against the teacher but I just felt rushed and so out of the moment and I had random strangers in my class of 5 people giving me hope and cheering me on. As much as I was discouraged, I was encouraged to try again.
In most of my favourite courses I've ever done it was my fellow students that made the experience great. Don't give up! You may have just made some great friends. I'm also a slow worker and hate the feeling of being rushed, so I can relate to what you're saying.
You are more than capable, sweetheart! It always takes time, we all stryggle in the beginning, regardless what we do, and this jewelry maiing technique is one of the hardest, so don't be hard on yourself! 😊🙏 Give yourself time to try enough times to know if this is for you or not. You don't have to be good from day one. You can try, experiment, learn and most importantly - have fun! Don't give up too fast. Like J J said too, I myself hate being rushed, judged too quickly and I also hate negative "motivation". Use the class to learn and work at your own pace. You'll do great!
I hope you are still continuing to make jewellery. I hope you never gave up and are still growing. Stay safe, Steve...
“Be proud of yourself “ thanks for reminding me this! 💓
always ❤️❤️❤️
My heart jumping joy watching this, knowing that you started as 'self-taught'! yes to start everything on your own is hard and this inspires me so much! thank you!
oh wow, I'm so incredibly happy to hear that! Thank you so much 😍
Stardust , I really admire you. We as artist are sensitive to all that is around us. I can identify with you. I LOVE creating beauty . LOVE touching my work , LOVE fabrication and design. Stardust , we're the lucky ones , only 5 percent of the people LOVE what they do , other 95 are miserable. We 5 percent are a kindred spirit. GOD bless you and yours.
I really want to learn metal smithing. But with this Carona Virus thing going on there is no in person classes. I really need that. I guess I have a hard head. LOL
Your high horse would like a word
@@elainefink4058 have you started? I'm like Basia I learned from books and TH-cam videos. There are some great teachers on YT. Basia and Megan Collins are great teachers on YT, there are many more, just be very careful about sending money for lessons, some are okay, but others are charging a lot for lessons you can get free, so look around. Soham Harrison is good, The Diamond Mounter is very good but charges £10 a month for full lessons, but I pay him, he was a top London maker. There are more just keep looking.
Stay safe, Steve...
Wow, that's so encouraging, am still dragging my feet to start silversmithing.
Thank you for watching! ❤️ And I'm glad to hear it was encouraging, hopefully you'll be able to try it soon!
I want to learn this trade of crafting jewellery. Do you work in Gold?
Me too, desperate to start making silver jewellery!
You can do it - its more fun if you can take a class - having companions is great, but you can youtube your way through it. It is wonderfully fulfilling.
@@truegrit7697, that is great advice, very much appreciated.
This is so encouraging! I've been having a crisis of self ever since I graduated from university, wondering what I want to do with my life. I've always been a crafter and I'm starting to think my dream job would be making and selling all sorts of things out of my own home! Watching you work in this video, all I can think is, "I want to do THAT." I know it wouldn't be easy, but it doesn't seem so impossible anymore.
Absolutely! It's NOT impossible! Go for it girl, if you feel like this is what you want! You can develop and change your products and style over time, you don't have to settle for one thing right away. Remember that it's a process and it's ok that it takes time 😀🌺
So happy to have chanced upon your channel. Been a hobbyist for years and couldn't seem to go one step up coz of lack of supplies and space but agree it shouldn't be a hindrance and we must do of what we have.
I'm so touched. Nearly got my eyes water. I've been planning on starting a small business and I'm struggling how to begin. This is inspiring. 😊😍
I used to be an apprentice for about 3 years at a shop in Florida I joined the military and haven’t worked on anything in the silver smithing field, this made me want to get back into it and start working on this stuff again thank you so much for the encouragement keep doing the good work !!!
I am so happy that TH-cam recommended me this video. I was doing metal stamping three years ago and I had to put it on hold due to a few life inconveniences. Metal smithing has always been a passion of mine that I wanted to dip into, and I am happy to say I started Metal stamping again and I hope to one day step into metal smithing. Thank you! New subscriber here.
Thank you for this. I’ve been telling myself I can’t. Now you’ve made me realise I can. Inspiring story 💜
Beautiful words how you put your story. I especially like that you mention trial and error - there is no other way.
Thank you for caring to make this video, you are a true crafts person. 💛
I just found you! How wonderful to see a self taught person! I am still not brave enough to try silver and gold..still working in copper. You have encouraged me. Greetings from Louisiana, US
My start started when I was 52 years old I had a beautiful necklace it had a lot of gold in it it was purchased by jeweler in my town I kept that necklace for 30 years one day after going to the grocery store I noticed my necklace wasn’t there anymore it fell off I never found that necklace again. I love that necklace so much that I wanted to build one just like it I started watching videos on TH-cam on how to make certain necklaces and they settled on a Cuban link and I used a quarter pound of gold I Purchased all the tools rolling mills torches everything $25,000 worth of tools Pepe Tools Rio Grande Epsie and others inspired me to make That replacement necklace and I made it with a locking clasp.
Ganz schön! verrückt , aber grossartig. So muss es sein!
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm thinking about going into a business i know nothing about. I'm totally driven by passion alone. My heart and soul is telling me to do it. The first place I started was research and reaching out to those already doing what I'm passionate about. You convinced me that I'm on the right path and to follow my dreams. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Best wishes on your continued success 👏 🙏
I just love watching and listening to you!! Its as if you are speaking straight to my soul!!! I am honored that you share so much about yourself and how you began creating!! I just want you to know I like so many out here appreciate all the beauty you bring to this world. ❤
Thank you so much love, your comment means a lot to me, and it's really encouraging! I apprecite it ❤️❤️❤️
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing i love this video it is the best example of how hard a shop owner should work
Randomly stumbled on this video and glad I did. No matter what craft it’s an encouraging video
I'm really happy you think so! Thank you so much Jasmine ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! You are an inspiration. You show the world what can be done with curiosity, determination, passion, and tenacity. I wish every teenager in the world could watch this. I just watched it with my 17 year old daughter and told her you are a role model for what can be done when a person takes initiative.
Thanks again!
God bless you-
Jeff
In short I must say I am a fan of what you do and who you are thank you for broadcasting your craft for everyone to see and learn from 🙏
I've been looking into starting my own artistic business for the last 3 years - working with wood and metal, gems etc.. I've been learning heaps about the techniques and skills through TH-cam. Your story and creativity is also very similar to my own. You have been a pleasure to watch, your videos are inspiring after such a hard year personally. I really would love to pursue my ideas. Thank you! Keep up the great work 😘
Hi! Thank you for this brief history on how you got started. I am inspired by it. You come across as genuine and candid, both excellent character traits that build trust. I enjoy your teaching style and look forward to learning much from you! Greetings from North Carolina, USA.
You just interpreted my mind ...how we feel when we want to start something we love
oopjio
Good for you! I’m just getting back into making jewelry and am so excited to start learning some new things. I haven’t done work with metal yet, but you are also proof that it can be done. Enjoy your creative journey!
Loved this message. I've been fighting with those same voices in my head because I just started my business and don't come from a experienced background ❤
I’ve been looking around on how to make jewelry for the past hour and gotten no where this channel is great !
That’s an amazing story. I definitely understand when you say it’s not an overnight success and that it’s a lot of trial and error. You have reignited my determination to continue learning leather crafting. Thank you!
totally! It takes time and can be discouraging sometimes, but it's worth to keep going for a while, before you make the decision to focus on something else 😊 Thank you for watching! xx
Your kindness,The way you talk and present things inspires me a lot❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Your voice is so calming and reassuring. I needed this 💗 thank you for this video!! ✨
I'm so glad! Thank you so much ❤️
I want to try this! Thank you for making this video. I feel hopeful I can find my craft.
Oh my word I was the same I thought it was too late for me and when a lady on instagram said she was self taught I was like O_O "Oh.. so.. I can actually do this too????" Thank you so much for sharing your story, interesting and insightful once again! And really nice to see that you started out beading but still went on to do this, I started with beading too and have accumulated so many supplies because I started a shop on etsy, that I thought, I have put so much money into this, surely I can't start a new thing/metalsmithing with all new equipment and costs, but you can! I had so many little beliefs and ideas stopping me but it kept calling to me! Thank you for all your videos! My favourite smithing channel!
This is super inspiring! Thank you for sharing. Sometimes it’s so discouraging but then I remember the hardest part is just the start! This give me the motivation to just keep practicing. Your work is awesome & I appreciate the tips!
Thank you for this! I have been obsessed with gemstones and jewelry since I was 15. Been studying gemstones ever since. I've always wanted to make my own jewelry to sell, and this gives me hope that I can accomplish this!
This gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I look forward to watching and learning from all your videos!
I'm so glad! Thank you so much for coming to my channel and watching my videos, it means a lot! 🌺❤
Thanks for all the detailed information you have provided in this video. I like your way of explaining every point. Keep sharing such great videos in the future also.
You are such an inspiration to me! Thank you so much for sharing your story! You have helped me to realize that I can learn this as well! Thank you!! And best to you for your business and creative endeavors 💜
persuing one's passion- somehow this video gives me inner peace
Fellow jewelry maker here. Very inspiring video! So glad I found your channel and I just subscribed. I love watching art and jewelry tutorials and videos but I can’t watch videos from people who are loud, obnoxious, or have hyper energy, and there seems to be so much of that these days! I like that you have a calm demeanor and soothing voice, plus you have a great sense of humor...so thank you! I look forward to watching more of your videos!
I love how you expressed yourself in your experience. It’s so inspiring and educational ❤️
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Love this video. Making jewelry is a great way to make art, and even create a small business that can lead to a path of fulfillment and happiness!
Just loved this video! 😍🙏✝️🇺🇲😍🙏✝️🇺🇲👍😍👍😍👍😍👍🙏✝️🇺🇲😂🇺🇲👍😍🙏✝️
Hello, I've been doing something similar to your story. Researching. Starting. Dreaming... That must by why this video landed in my feed. I subscribed because of your story, your drive to learn and produce your art. The world needs more of this! Thank you for sharing.
This is a beautiful story of your journey. Thank you for sharing! It is very inspiring.
This craft is SO awesome!!! I will be taking courses in May that will give me the basics of Jewelry and a Certificate that will allow me to practice jewelry-making.
Im SO exited 🤩
I started watching videos on TH-cam randomly on how they make rings and I haven't stopped thinking about doing it !
Its the first time I choose to learn something with such intention.
I wish to everybody to find their thing to do in life ❤
Ive spent the past week ive been learning how to tie friendship bracelets and loving it, and im very quickly expanding my horizon about it today and something just kinda clicked, for me, i want to make jewelry and things that make people feel beautiful. Been lost in what to pursue in college for a while now and i think ill give this a well worth shot. Your video was one of the first few looking up "jewelry making" videos on yt and im glad i did! Im such a hands on person that loves art but I dont see myself as a painter, just someone who creates🤷♀️
Your story is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing and your jewelry collection looks beautiful!😍
this is sooo inspiring 💖 I love jewelry making and aspire to reach this kind of level ✨ thank you for you words and btw your voice is so soothing ✨
wow, thank you so very much! 💖 And I'm sure you'll keep levelling up, keep making and practicing 💖
This is very inspiring and just what I've been needing. Thank you!!
I was aching to start making WOOW SUCH AN INSPIRATION 😍 THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO
Really nice to hear your story in starting out. I share a lot of those experiences. Thanks Basia, great video.
Congratulations!!! People like you inspire me Soo much!!! I do the same thing...not the same style...but I love watching other people's creations!!!
Thank you so much!! Really happy you've enjoyed it 😍❤
Thanks for the inspirational TH-cam channel. I'm also a self taught jewelry maker and would like to get where you are someday. I've realize that it is something that is never too late to start.
it's never too late, that's so true! ❤️ For us, the way our perception works, it's always today. And it's always a good time to start something. You can always not do it later, or change it for something different. But don't hold yourself back simply because you think that "now it's too late" ❤️
Such an inspirational story! Thank you for sharing. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm nearly 30 and just about to order my first supplies and tools. This really inspired me, as I've struggled with thoughts that it's too late for way too long.
Oh my, I can totally relate! 30 IS NOT too late for anything and I'm sure you can start something from zero and become very successful at it, be that at or after 30! :) 💗 Whether that turns into a business or remains as an amazing hobby. Good luck my dear!
Thank you for keeping it real!! Much more inspiring ♥
I loved watching this video so much!! As an *aspiring* self taught jeweler its so nice to see how open you are about how you got started. I feel like most jewelers on youtube are graduates from jewelry schools and their lives and skills seem so unattainable! It's so nice to see another self taught jeweler doing such beautiful work.
This is an excellent video on how to start making jewelry! The presenter's personal story and journey into jewelry making were inspiring and informative. I appreciated how the video included valuable tips and advice for anyone interested in starting their jewelry-making journey.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences and encouraging us to pursue our inclinations. Thanks for inspiring us
I am so happy i stumbled upon this video because your story is so inspiring and informative. I hope you continue to be successful in your craft.
Very inspiring 😊 Thanks for sharing your journey and story of success! I have always said “follow your bliss and the money will follow”
If one does what they are passionate about, (and with a little tenacity and practice) one can realize their dreams!
Why do I feel like crying while watching this? I painfully relate to feeling like I wouldn’t be good enough or creative enough or successful enough to even begin trying, but I have created simple beaded and threaded jewelry for myself since I was a child. This is the dream!
When you tell your first-timer story, I smile so wide and then instanly subscribed your channel. Your such a lovely girl! Keep up the good work, Stardust!
Oh wow, that means a lot! Thanks for subbing! ❤️ Have a wonderful day xx

Wow! Glad I came across your video. I've always loved making beads bracelet and necklaces as a child. Thank you. You inspired me. ♥️
I love the way you tell a story! So sincere💝 subscribing!
This story was really an enlightenment. I will remember your words and try to start a good beginning ✨️. Thankyou so much
You just inspired me. I have art degree do other mediums. But I only did one jewelry class long time ago. I been thinking about doing it. Thank you for sharing your journey!!
Go for it! And thank you so much for watching, I'm really happy that I was able to inspire you
Thanks 😭💖💖😭. You have no idea how much I needed this!!
You're so welcome! Happy to be of help 😍❤
WOW!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR SUCH Inspiration in whom you are. I literally just now started my journey and an glad I clicked on you, for a better understanding on where to start. Because it's my passion to make art I can't draw worth two pennies, but I can create what I see in my head outta materials. I have a thing for metals and wood myself and welding NEVER done it but I KNOW I can. I hope to see many more wonderful videos on your beautiful journey. Peace n power beautiful SOUL 🖤💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🙏🙌💯
I have been juggling the idea of signing up for a class. Your video inspired me to finally take the leap!
So refreshing to watch your video 🌸
Just loved the video! I’m studying jewellery too. Thanks for sharing 💕
Thank you so much for telling us about your journey. I am amazed. 🙏
Thank you. I've just moved back to Scotland and I'm wanting to go down the same path as yourself. Very inspiring.
That's wonderful you moved back, I miss Scotland! I'm hoping we can visit again this summer, we've had everything booked months prior, but we will see how things unfold. Fingers crossed 😍 As for the smithing, you should go for it! I'm sure you will love it, it's a lot of fun 😊❤
You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today! I finally got my first set of tools to start practicing. I had put it aside and did wire wrapping instead due to fear of silversmithing. I am ready now. ❤
I'm so happy you feel ready! That's what's most important here, don't pressure yourself and do it at your on pace. You should feel comfortable and enjoy it 🥰 Have fun! And thank you so much for watching my video! There are many tutorials on my channel that you may find useful 🙏
You are so inspiring (and it's cool to see you're also from the UK)! 💛 Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sure you've helped to encourage many people to follow their calling from this video alone.
Here's a bit of my own story. I had a crisis in my final year of university realising that the course I had chosen wasn't actually my passion when presented with the reality of entering work for the rest of my life. Like you said in this vid there were also hints of what was calling to me whilst on my course as instead of doing my Computer Security/Forensics coursework I just used to go into the library and play around with 3D software.
Ive also suffered heavily with my mental health throughout my upbringing & these past few years especially. Social anxiety/depression (I've also learned recently that I very likely have autism & ADHD) was making it very hard for me to hold down a job (constant anxiety attacks, always on the verge of being fired due to attendance, struggling with money & debt etc).
Since failing my final year of uni, I decided I needed to make some very drastic changes and started to fully explore what I was passionate about all along. Subjects ranging from 3D design/3Danimation/3D printing, fashion, electronics and a few others. I thought if I'm going to set up a brand that's authentic to me I need to combine all of these different areas into one. I started self learning everything on TH-cam & online courses. Fast forward a few years later & I have gained knowledge and experience in all these areas & I feel confident to start selling now and play out my vision (still got plenty of growth to go though!)
A few years ago I never would have even thought about me being able to set up my own brand (especially working from home which is perfect for me considering I still struggle with social anxiety but not as much since I gained more confidence/life purpose & direction). Everything has lined up perfectly for me recently and I'll be starting very soon, probably just after the new year - just getting round to finalising my first products, branding and a few other things.
Btw if you got this far thank you for reading haha! I'll definitely make sure to follow along & support you on your own journey! :)
This gives me hope, thank you.
I really believe this video was the divine talking to me, from the title to your video to the last minute of the video. Watching your video let me know I am on the right track. In addition to that, you gave great pointers on what to do. Thank you so much for sharing your story! 💕
You are so welcome my dear, my pleasure! 🌺❤ I'm really happy you've enjoyed it xx
Just goes to show you how some of the discouraging lies we tell ourselves and assume are truths, are so destructive. I still do it and I should definitely know better by now LOL!
Thank you for sharing your truth. Best. Xo
What a wonderfully inspiring story!
Fantastic story, I love it and it is such a positive message for all the creators, jewellers, designers and crafters out there. Thank you for sharing your jeweller experience with the world ;)
Thank you so much for watching and your sweet comment! Take care 💓
You are such a bright light! Thank you for this video-I’m loving your content and became a Patreon member. I have a lot of videos to catch up on. :)
That's so sweet, thank you so much Tiffany! It means a lot ❤ I hope my content will be helpful and encouraging ❤
you are so kind :) thank you for sharing your journey!
I’m also a jewelry maker from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. I’m a jewelry lover so I make the designs I always wanted to wear ☺️I do make and sell too. This video helps me to improve my leisure time activity. 😇
Thank you so much 😊
Your page inspire me. Your channel makes smithing easy.
♥️♥️ This video is so inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your video. It was very inspiring. I’v started making bentwood rings and want to do more, such as Silver Smithing. But I just dont have the space in my small flat to really make this happen.
But you have inspired me and so I’m going to set up a little area in my living room to start doing this.
Your work also looks amazing. Keep up the good work. ❤️😉
Wow!! Soo encouraging for us newbs.. especially old newbs like myself. Lol It’s still possible. I started a year ago playing with wire and really want to jump into cutting my own copper, soldering, torching.. I even purchased everything for Electroforming jewelry simply because I fell in love with the pieces I’d been seeing, but with little to no knowledge of construction. There are no kinds of classes right now, due to Covid, so I’m stuck with tutorials for now. Thank you for stressing the point that everyone works at their own pace, and progresses at different times/ some more lucky than others just having a natural knack. It’s so hard to look at social media and see others who are also only a year in or so remotely ever touching wire beforehand and are light years from my skill level. 😢 It’s so hard to not compare, although I know I shouldn’t. It genuinely stops my progression. I need more videos like this! Thank you for sharing your journey and congratulations on your success! Your rose quartz set at the end was beautiful!!!😍😍💚
omg, so true!! Thank you so much for your sweet comment and I'm really excited for you to start crafting!

Love this , I am just starting now & I’m aching to get going! I’ve brought some tools, beads to start with and booked a workshop in March in London xx
wonderful story! Ur hard work is a example to follow!
Beautiful video and insights, not only for starting jewelry creation, but also in support of anyone wishing to pursue a passion - no matter where they are in life. Thank you for your kindness and inspiration :-)
I'm currently a university student (as you can imagine, that factor already makes me super broke) but I decided to make and sell personalised jewellery on etsy all alone as well... currently I'm looking into wire work and seeing your video really motivated me to continue with my brand and passion. I almost gave up as it is a expensive and time consuming craft (especially studying full time), and having to do everything alone is quite lonely; I'm glad I stumbled upon your video. Thank you, this is just what i needed to help me stick with it.
Wow!! Thanks for the encouragement and sharing the positivity!!
You are so welcome dear, thank you so much for watching! 😊🙏
Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this video!!! It has given me permission to go forward and follow my dreams. We get stuck in what we have to do…we forget about what our heart sings to us to do!!! I’m going to start listening……”She remembered who she was and that changed the game!
I’m starting my search for people to help me learn the art of metalsmithing. Thank you! Smiles Trish
Trish, your comment made my day! I'm so happy you feel this way after watching my video and I hope that you can find valuable information on my channel when learning jewelry metalsmithing ❤️ Good luck! You absolutely should try whatever you want if it makes you happy and makes you feel fulfilled. Have fun 💕
Very inspirational! Thank you
Setting up that steel wire bird nest to get an even heat on the plate, genius level right there. You're a natural.
hahaha, can't take the credit as it's not my idea, but yes, it works wonders! 😍❤
This is literally my dream!! I will do it!!!♡♡♡
