"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 $$$$
I'm waiting for you to make an iced out gold microphone.
Love your channel mate! My g/f watches this regularly and she just landed her apprenticeship after 2 years of study! You've been a huge inspiration!
Thats great news! Thank you!
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
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.
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
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!
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
Thank you!
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
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.
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...
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!
Thank you😊
Back then you looked like the current Russian President
LuiSpot It's the same poker face, that Putin has.
For me more like Hitman xD but he is not bald
Looks like Russian President because the look is straight, confident like that of VVP.
You mean the current Russian tyrant.
Justin Hopkins Viva Putin greatest man on earth!
Thanks for going through your journey with us. Much appreciated!
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
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 just can't stop laughing....plasticine cars....
Lol no such thing as jeweler school lol.. computer does most or all the work!
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!
What blew me away is the skill! & attention to detail!.
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.
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. 👑☺️
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!!!
Thank you from the Pacific Northwest mate 🙏 You’re a true inspiration!
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!
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.
What a lovely story. Onwards and upwards. The moral of this story.................NEVER give up on your dream!!
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. 💍🔨
Thanks for the motivation, love your content.
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.
Awesome story, most people would have quit after losing the nice office in downtown but you didn't. Very motivating, thanks for sharing.
Youre awesome man. Thank you for doing what you do. Truly an inspiration
Been waiting on this story for a long while, finally
Thank you Bobby! Wicked stuff bro!
Thanks Bobby, for answering our questions!
Love the way you work. Neatly and measuring every inch. 💯
What you explained is pretty much where I'm at now. Thanks!
So inspiring...goes to show going after passion and staying true to yourself, you will succeed. 💖
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.
Just so inspiring I had to subscribe. Fantastic. That's purpose in motion. Love it.
Long journey to be flawless jeweler. Thank you for sharing your story. Creatively is the key
This couldnt have came at a better time, thank you!!
You are SOOO Inspirational!!! Thank you!!!!
Glad you made it and do what make you feel happy 😃
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
Huge fan of your work and videos. Honestly some of the most amazing jewelry

Congratulations, Bobby! You made your dream come true.
thanks man very inspiring!!
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!!!!
Yes bobby appreciate your story and insight, shit doesn’t come easy!!
Great story you have paid your dues,and definitely deserve your rewards.I would like to say I love your Jewelry.
I wanted to start just crafting bag clasps etc. Your videos are a great. Helped me understand the tools and just love the designs.
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!
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.
Nice one Bobby. Great insight into your journey.
Love you man I can see it in your eyes you were made to shine stay jewling my Bobby boiiii
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.
I make wire wrapped jewelry and I'm hoping to someday get into making high end pieces like the ones you make. Your story is very inspiring.
As a fellow jewelry maker I admire your story. Keep up the good work
Answered my question I asked on another video. Love this
you love your work and it shows in your jewelry keep it up bro. next 10 milli subs
Thank you for this video. I am just starting myself and I also want the best of everything, and it’s too soon. I’ll keep your story in mind.
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!
I love all yours videos it makes so much fun to watch it
Really enjoyed this one
Thanks for sharing Bobby- you seem quiet and reserved. Your amazing pieces contradict your nature-one day I'll get my Motion.......☁️-kindest regards
Thank you!
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!

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
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...
