How To Make A Gold Miami Cuban Bracelet YOURSELF (Easier Than You Think!)

💎💎Jewelry Business Academy Course jewelry-busine...
In this video I will show you how to make Miami Cuban chains and bracelets. The process of making chains and bracelets is the same whether you're making them in silver or gold. We will be making this bracelet with a Mars Elegoo 3 3D printer and Powerresins castable resin. I will show you how to get the 3d file, how to prepare the file in Chitubox, how to print the 3d wax, how to cast the wax in 10k gold, and how to assemble, polish, and finish the bracelet. This video is proof that you can make high quality bracelets with a 3d printer and it doesn't have to be handmade. If you want to learn how to make custom jewelry be sure to check out the jewelry business playlist. Also im working on a how to start a jewelry business course which is coming soon.

Yo since watching your video on starting a jewelry business about 3 years ago I started doing my own casting and diamond setting. I’m pay about $2.05 over spot price for 24k gold. I save a ton of money setting the stones myself. Thanks for introducing me to the industry

Hey Mike, Would you share some insight on where to purchase the gold. It would be greatly appreciated!

[@h.katsaros1790]

I searched for how to edit the gap (pretty sure I bought the exact same file you’re using for yours) and i cannot find any useful information. An in-depth video on how to create pins and edit link gaps would be a great video idea in my opinion and would be very, very helpful. You the GOAT. Edit: Also making sprues for files without sprues on the links

Came here to see somebody hand making and filing links not some 3d printed shit. Those eBay sales have taken years and years to accumulate, eBay charges huge fees, tons of those get returned and many sellers get scammed. Their profits are nowhere close to what you said.

[@provgoldgroup]

Slava! Peace Brother! Can't say enough about the appreciation I have for these very informative and insightful videos you've produced and shared here on your channel to give the inexperienced person behind the scenes access to the jewelry industry who has an interest and desire to break into it. I'd like you to consider doing a video(s) on the following: 1. The entire breakdown of the Miami Cuban Link chain, specifically about all the exact measurements, and the different types of box lock clasp designs, mostly on the larger chains. Are there standard measurements, or can you design it however you like in a sense? I particularly want to know what's the gap/space measurement between each link? I've seen several exact-sized chains with various link gaps, but both are Miami Cuban Link chains. 2. All of the economics around the costs associated with each stage of making a Miami Cuban Link chain, or whatever piece, just sharing all the numbers in one video. I learned a lot about all the industry standard numbers above the spot price incurred from manufacturing jewelry yourself that you've shared, but they were spread across multiple videos, versus in one single video. And it'd be cool to offer a PDF document download of all those numbers to have a "cheat sheet" if you would that could be referenced prior to negotiating in person and/or via phone. Also include the numbers (percentage) of what would be received/paid out from a refiner for melting down scrap gold and/or gold jewelry (I believe you said 98% of the spot price), which is great to know so you're always aware what your state of liquidity is in dollar amount. Which again, as you stated makes this a win/win business you can't really lose in. 3. Stamping: 14k mark on chains and a company logo on box lock clasps. Most appreciated!

[@SlavaTVOfficial]

Thank you bro, I appreciate that and I apologize for the delayed response. I will absolutely break all of that down. I forget to mention in this video that the reason why I lost so many grams compared to the last chain is because this bracelet was filed down just like a handmade one, and that's why labor was so expensive

[@QTheMost]

6 grams lost in polish is wild

Getting ANY custom work casted in WA is almost not an option. its either cast yourself or mail it to LA/NY

[@liuberlaffita1539]

How did you polish the link inside?

[@RADIOKNIF3]

So i understand that a lot of jewelers buy chains in bunches and if theyre more thicker then they make it but does that only go for cuban style chains? What about ropes, snake and other styles? If we need thicker ones.

[@SlavaTVOfficial]

yes that applies to all chains, the labor on those chains are less

[@RADIOKNIF3]

@Slava TV is it possible to cast a rope or snake chain or would we need special equipment?

[@mloud687]

Once you get the gold casted is it gold plated or is it solid gold? Also if it is only gold plated can you ask them to make it solid gold rather than plated

[@SlavaTVOfficial]

if you get gold casted its solid gold. You can plate any metal. In order to make a non gold plated ring solid gold you would have to make a new ring

[@SlavaTVOfficial]

I say try it out and see what you like more, I would pay someone who is skilled to teach you that's the best way to learn. If its too much of a hassle you can always pay someone to polish

[@1988bctmk]

Polishing yourself saves $$$ but takes time and effort to learn correctly. Maybe start out aging someone and erecting cash flow and take the financial hit. Then when you have capital or are selling volume you may just find it better for you time and profit margin to keep doing so, especially if you are doing volume and develop a relationship with the polisher and can get a better rate.
