This is an excellent step up in production quality, and it's awesome to see an industry that doesn't get much insider coverage. Your shorts are good for bite-size information, but long-form content like this is simply outstanding.
I feel like im watching cable network?! Wtf this is great quality content. They literally put text titles of the words and meaning. I learn something! Keep up the great Work brother!
Outside of giving us an inside look into negotiating gems you also give us an idea of how to talk to people in business and in life you’re friendly you give all the info you can you get real with your customers but you stand firm and confident in your goods something people should apply to their everyday routine
I really like this format of longer videos, I find very cool to see you selling, buying gems so I will be very good to see you making more like a day in your store
Avi, unlike any other channel on youtube do I click notifications for new uploads like yours. Your content is always incredibly interesting and insightful to the world of gems. Your attitude is professional and fun. Please keep doing what you're doing, its great!
A Financial Planner told me Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. How can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings overtime?
That is exactly the reason I stopped trusting the financial advice of TH-camrs; in the long run, I only end up with a jumbled collection of stocks and bonds. Whereas all I needed to earn over $350k in less than two years was guidance from a true market expert.
My advisor is a lady and goes by the name Melissa Jean Talingdan I suggest you look her up. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.

I cant figure out why, I knew nothing about gems but this channel is mad addicting. Prob the only one ive got notifications turned on, more content! Love it. It would be cool to hear your story, how you got into the business/culture and such.
I love hearing the psychology behind the sale or not sale, rounding up for example. Maybe that gives away trade secrets, but hearing more of that is just awesome.
@Avithegemguy - why dont you put up a video on how to learn to do this? what certification/qualifications are required and also if you can do this part time.
3:25 I'm surprised you don't have your own personal light source to inspect gems with. Led lights have all these different hues nowadays, you might be able to calculate how much money you lost on having the wrong light source... how interesting
You’re probably the best gem TH-camr out there ! I love watching your videos ! Btw my favourite gemstones are Colombian emeralds and Madagascar Sapphires :)
I was never into watching gem videos until I found yours randomly on my feed, love the content now! Hoping you drop your day 2 soon! P.S the shorts are a lot of fun to watch too but I feel you’ll get more money out of the long form ones and I think you deserve that extra bag
Dude I’m your biggest fan I’ve watched every single short and Tik tok and vid I’m an aspiring gem dealer myself and I’m hoping to get to your level soon thank you for being an Inspiration to me bro
The long videos nice. The shorts got my attention. Had those pop up for a few weeks. Then decided I actually enjoyed seeing them and wanted to see an actual video. Sad to see you only have 3
As an introvert who hates confrontations and is extremely passivr, this content sends shivers up my spine. Wish i could do shit like this. I cave way too easily…i only started recently negotiating job offers, but that was when i had 20+ years of experience..and it still makes me uncomfortable as hell.
post more long videos. Love your content. Got me with the shorts but the long content had me thinking you’ve been doing longform content forever. Bummed it’s only 3 videos, keep it coming!!!
Is there a source you can offer that would be a good reference to how to decide on the prices of gems? My brother just purchased an emerald and I would like to figure out if it was a fair price
I’m sure this one is long gone, because I don’t see it on your site, but that’s the one I would want for a ring. Such a nice stone. I’m jealous of whomever ends up with it.
Curious how payments work. You make the deals, but do they wire the money right there? Do they give you a check? How do you carry so much value on a plane and not worry about it? Do you have to get insurance when you travel? Do you have to declair with the airline? What about international travel?
Hey Avi! I am a Canadian who loves your videos. Question, my good friend has family that owns Sapphire mines in Sri Lanka. I have imported some smaller gems, but I'm having trouble finding any buyers to take me seriously. I would appreciate any advice on better ways to sell and get started.
One thing I don't get. How can you make money from swapping gems? I mean if every seller charges an extra for themselves, wouldn't the stone get more and more expensive until nobody wants to buy it anymore? In what way is this profitable? I really don't understand this. Or is it maybe only profitable because inflation?
I'm learning so much through your channel. I literally only knew gems existed and that's it. Cool to see the culture of gemology!
Thank you 🙏
@@avithegemguyI have been binging your TH-cam. Could you tell me how to get Gemology certified please??.

In times like this it is better to seek help from a professional as such key decisions are better guided by experts with market experience.

Thanks for replying, That's a very impressive return, You must have a good idea of stocks. How did you go about it?

Avi your videos just brighten my day more than any gem!
This is some big league negotiating with the best gem negotiators in the business, love to see it🤙
I love the long form videos, Avi. You're definitely an entertaining and educational person to watch for an amateur gemologist like myself.
I cant figure out why, I knew nothing about gems but this channel is mad addicting. Prob the only one ive got notifications turned on, more content! Love it.
It would be cool to hear your story, how you got into the business/culture and such.
You remind me of a partner i love to work with! You’re a very kind person; it shows through the screen!
This has quickly become one of my favorite channels to watch. Avi always brings the heat!
You're a great inspiration. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I love hearing the psychology behind the sale or not sale, rounding up for example.
Maybe that gives away trade secrets, but hearing more of that is just awesome.
This format with the additional effort given to the commentary and explanations is definitely a cut above. Nice work man. Keeps getting better 👍🏻
This is why I subscribe to your channel. Content that shows the real grind of gemstone selling. Great vid
Always fun watching the handsome and charming Avi at work

I love your content! You know what you do and how you do it . Keep making more awesome content!!!❤❤❤❤
Watching these longer videos is legit so fun
Avi’s content scratches an itch in my brain
this is so great! i LOVED gemstones as a kid, these videos are so great and i enjoy them a lot.
We need day 2!!
Really great work Avi, I can tell that you are putting more emphasis on your mazal’s, keep ‘em coming 💯💎
The amount I learned, the exciting deals, Avi these long form videos are 🔥. Also those transitions between scenes were amazing.
Good job 👏
The way you price the product is very smart, thank you for sharing
I have a ~5 carat Alexandrite in the family that my grandfather got in Europe during WW2. Definitely need to get the thing appraised!
Lets goo Avi you know I love your content
Absolutely loving the longer videos!
You gave me drive to learn to become a jeweler and now im almost there im a beginner but im determined💯

OPA! love this type of content. No pigeon blood Ruby’s in stock? 🔮💵👍🏼
A bunch of guys looking to scam each other. What a business
Just because someone’s making a bigger profit doesn’t mean it’s a scam. Sometimes both parties are winners depending on the clientele
It's a bunch of guys looking to make the best deal for them. It's called a market and basic capitalism.
You can’t be an amateur.
What a broke person would say
Well the good thing is that avi knows better
Post more long videos! The shorts don't share enough of your knowledge and what's going on, I wanna see all the negotiations lol
The long videos nice. The shorts got my attention. Had those pop up for a few weeks. Then decided I actually enjoyed seeing them and wanted to see an actual video. Sad to see you only have 3
Man this is such amazing content! Please keep it up!

Don’t be nervous… They’re humans just like you.. If you are nervous , they are nervous too
it is so fun to watch you negotiate with the price . keep it up
post more long videos. Love your content. Got me with the shorts but the long content had me thinking you’ve been doing longform content forever. Bummed it’s only 3 videos, keep it coming!!!
i dony know why, but video from your chanel makes me happy....
It's fun hustling ,heakling with dealers from every corner of the world.😊.
I find this so interesting for no apparent reason omg
This appeared randomly. And now I'm hooked
Okay so is it better if the emerald is darker or lighter?
I appreciate the way you do business and handle yourself ..respect
BIG fan of the long form content. Seriously.
Buying a ring from y’all, mazal!
Awesome stuff! Keep these longer negotiation videos coming!
babe wake up avi the gem guy posted
Appreciate the gem knowledge, I picked up a solid 14kt crystal opal ring and am always leaning into your channel. Cool niche
Avi is the most firm gem dealer ever seen
i know nothing about this stuff, but i love to watch haha
I watch your content from France and I love it you should release more videos it's a pleasure to watch
Is there a source you can offer that would be a good reference to how to decide on the prices of gems? My brother just purchased an emerald and I would like to figure out if it was a fair price
I have been absolutely pulled into gem videos
Avi I got an idea for your low turnover gems. Put them together in one corner of the shop and name that corner as "Mazaleum".
Make more full length videos! Love it!
Dude please do more long-form content. It’s so interesting
I’m sure this one is long gone, because I don’t see it on your site, but that’s the one I would want for a ring. Such a nice stone. I’m jealous of whomever ends up with it.
Enjoying this longer form format!!
Love the negotiations. Inspiring me during this time of business
Can you do a video, Unless you already have of a selection of gems showcasing some staples you should know
Curious how payments work. You make the deals, but do they wire the money right there? Do they give you a check? How do you carry so much value on a plane and not worry about it? Do you have to get insurance when you travel? Do you have to declair with the airline? What about international travel?
Handshake gun slinging had me dying 😂😂😂
Come to zambia we get you some rough emerald
Love the king form content brother. Stoked for pt 2. I will be checking out your online store as well.
I am a small gem dealer in philippines. i got a lot of lesson to learn from you Avi!
Very cool to see all the intricacies of gemology and the negotiating
Hi Avi,
What is the price of unheated 1ct. Sri Lanka color change sapphire with good clarity ?
Dont stop the vids bro , enjoying it ❤️
That black onyx ring is badass
I want to be the janitor after these shows!!
''Insignificant oil' made my day 😂
Avi can you do a video explaining the $1,200/carat for heated saphire
youre a boss, my brother. your channel is going to blow up! subbed :)
that guy is so eager to shake hands
It's a beautiful stone. Might be a tough sell but whoever ends up with it will be thrilled I'm sure.
Love this long form content!
I love the guy trying to shake Avi's hand
Love this video.
It my dream job.
Good luck avi!
I’m excited to see how far this channel goes !
3:38 what is the blue gem? looks really nice
Hey Avi! I am a Canadian who loves your videos. Question, my good friend has family that owns Sapphire mines in Sri Lanka. I have imported some smaller gems, but I'm having trouble finding any buyers to take me seriously. I would appreciate any advice on better ways to sell and get started.
3:33 find some sick deals what’s that song?
I’m so glad you deal and colored stones more than diamonds on your channel. I love colored stones. Diamonds are boring.
Fun to watch!
I could watch hours of this Avi! Love your shorts, but would also love to see some more longform content! Come to the IJL expo in London :)
Gemstones Love it ❤️💎💍
