On the contrary, community over cometition 😃 There's enough room for all of us! :) And of course thanks to all these sweet makers that shared their experiences with me in the first place, that I was able to make these videos too!

I came across your channel by happenstance just a few hours ago so I haven't had the time to watch more than like 5 videos so far, but I can say, without a doubt, that I really like what I've seen. You have nice pace even for someone like me who has a really hard time keeping focus, yet manage to get a lot of information in a very concise manner. So, job very well done, in my humble opinion (it doesn't happen very often - like _at all_ - but I actually subscribed like a third way into the second video and believe me: that says a lot in my world!). I realize this video's already closing in on two years since it was published (or uploaded, or what-ever the kids say these days ;) ), and as I've understood things, a lot of content creators doesn't really keep track on their comment sections for more than less than a day and often not even that so I don't know what the chanses are you'll ever see this. But you never know and the best way to not being heard is to keep silent, so I'm just going to shoot from the hip in the dark and who knows: if I'm lucky, maybe I'll hit something - at some time, in some way. Enough with the me-rambling-on-and-on-and-on-and... Let's get on with the gemstone's and the jewelry and you requesting feedback and future ideas for videos! *_Amber!_* I'd love to see a video about amber. From what I've gathered, amber is one of the most commonly fraudulently faked stones (as in: not at all amber, but sold as such. So, pure frauds.) and those manufacturing fake amber is apparently very skilled at it (which is strange to me, but I'm close to the Baltic See, so perhaps I'm just spoiled or something). Anyway, you' might not be "in" to amber - in to using it in your jewelry that is - and/or don't feel you can (or want to) provide any valuable info on the matter, but if you do, I for one would love a "deep-dive" video (or just a regular one) on amber. How to determine the real deal from the fake, resources for purshase, how to polishing raw amber ... any and all you're willing to share - it would all be greatly appreciated! But even if there's nothing you're willing or able to share on that subject, I maintain: Thank you for sharing anyway: I already have several more of your videos lined up in the que as is and I'll definetly be back for more later on as well! Cheers!

Think of the biggest advice Basia gave you in this video: Don't be afraid to ask! I've studied jewelry design and one of the courses we had was gemology, and I'm running a jewelry business for over 7 years and I still (or even more and more) know that I don't know a lot about gemstones :D I tell you this, because I want to say: don't let it stop you to start and try, just go out there and ask questions and buy stones that speak to your imagination!

I just heard a story, which happened recently about a boy in India, the oldest of several children, who wanted to help his mom. His father was dead, so life was very hard for them. One day the boy (somewhere between the age of 9-12) told his mom that he was going to do an errand for her, but instead he went to the coal mine to work to earn 75 cents! That's ALL they paid for a day's labor, but they were so poor even that would help a little. While the boy was working, there was a explosion in the mine and the boy was killed. It's so horrible that they would exploit people and especially children that way!!!

The Mohs scale of hardness is specifically relating to scratch hardness rather than toughness, some relatively hard stones have poor toughness. Some stones are susceptible to damage from heat/cold, others, may cleave easily requiring delicate pressure and protective settings. Either way it's always a good idea to do a bit of personal research into any stone you intend on using before purchasing to ascertain it's suitability for the particular purpose.

Super helpful and informative.. Thank you so much for sharing. I've been fairly lucky so far and I bought most of my stuff on Amazon. It's distressing to hear about the possible working conditions of those persons in India.. a real pity because I've read that while the cut and polish may not be the best you're less likely to get fake stones there.
@TheArtOfMetalsmithing5 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for watching and your comment! :) I'm really happy you haven't had bad experience. As for India, it's true the stones there are usually real, which is great. Things to look for would be rather poor cutting, cracks or different stones sold as substitutes for other ones. It's all about the research and how transparent the company is. Because not every business is involved in bad work conditions and slave-like work. For example in Jaipur possibly every business is connected with gemstones and there's many good, proud and honest sellers! I would say fakes most likely would be coming from China.

Budget people! Broken section in mineral center is a wonderful place to find affordable arrangement of different qualities of crystals, some need tinkering but you can find beautiful treasures in there. They’ll need cleansing like any other stone- deep cleansing a new stone is good idea (you can wash really well them if they’re water proof of do whatever feels right, the point is that you want to cleans the stone from all negative and all unwanted energy for healing and the highest good of the stone, to be crystal clear to fresh start). If you have cutting and polishing equipment you might even be able to fix or shape rougher/poorly cut stones however you like, I heard one can do it with just a piece diamond sanding paper (sanding paper for stones) and stone polishing products. There are beautiful tutorials for polishing stones.

I've had the same problems with cracked (and useless) cabs from India on ebay. Also watch out for postage scams - and they often oil up the gems to make them shine and cover bad polishing. Also, I've looked at some of the resources on your list - you can't seriously buy from them, some of the prices are ludicrous.
@TheArtOfMetalsmithing5 жыл бұрын
Yes, exactly! That oiling is honestly ridiculous sometimes haha :) As for those sellers - I've included sellers from different price levels for different needs. Some people collect rare gems (that are perfectly cut, which makes them a work of art in itself) and those are indeed very expensive. I wouldn't expect most of jewellery makers to buy these on the regular basis, but it's good to know about them. Most of the sellers have average pricing though :)

I hope it'll stay like this :) if you're conscious and carfeul, you might be able to avoid fake crystal altogether! So don't be too afraid, it's not worth to waste your precious health on that, mistakes happen sometimes and we learn from them! :) Thanks so much for your support Faby! Really appreciate it ❤️

No, same as any shop or store, once you own the product it is yours to do what you want with. I hope this helps. Stay safe, Steve...

How do you find all that information about who found the gems and who cut and who sells. Most sellers assay they are ethical but how do you know.
