'I don't have a lot'... So nicely organized, it's so satisfying, you inspired me to work more, so I can afford having so many pieces in my collection :) this is dream come true for every jeweller!

This is the best gemstone collection I have ever seen!!! 100% eye candy!!! I love your collection! Please keep making great videos! ❤

I don’t know nothing about gemstones. Thanks to share your amazing collection. 😊❤

You are an amazing young lady. You remind me SO MUCH of my wife and myself. We sold our jewelery business in Las Vegas last month so we could retire. One of our artists has taken it over, so our dream lives on. You have a lovely presentation style! Your camera work is also AMAZING. Have you ever heard of ASMR? You should look it up because you are a NATURAL! Anyway, it's passion that makes the difference between a simple hobbyist, and an artist like yourself. Hold on to that, and you WILL succeed!

Your gem stones and crystals are so beautiful

Thanks for sharing!

Hiya Lady Stardust, what a wonderful collection! I don't think there was a single stone I would not wear! There were so many stories, each and every one has its own tale to tell. Do you miss us yet dear lady? I hope and trust you've had a safe and easy trip home? Old Scottish saying, "We're no away to bide away!" We're not gone for good. Or, "I'll be back!" I'm trusting home cooking and your dad's vodka will get you turning out twice as many collections as before!!! Not to mention walking days out. Food in a backpack, water from a crystal stream, can it get better? Just pace yourself, please. And stay safe, both of you...Steve xx...

Hi Steve! Yes, we've arrived safely this afternoon and I'm barely keeping myself up :P just wanted to post this video and answer some comments, but it's definitely time to log out for a day and just sleep it off. Past few days were crazy. And I miss Bristol already (I know it may be funny, but I do!). I'm equally as excited to be home as I'm sad to be leaving England. Can't have both, at least not for now! But in the future? Maybe :) Happy you enjoyed this video, I;m very proud of this collection. I love seeing the stones of other people, so I thought I could show mine too haha :)

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that Charmmaine! I hope it will get better soon. Give yourself time. I felt just like this in the Winter. It took some time, but it passed eventually. Don't pressure yourself and don't let the guilt of not creating take the lead. It helped me a lot when I just accepted that I won't be creating for a while and instead I went back to things that made me happy. I started drawing again just for fun. Watching movies and YT videos I loved (not jewellery related) and looking at art. And, wouldn't you know it, at some point my brain rewired and I started craving creating! :) Good luck love, I'm sending you lots of love and good creative vibes 🌺

What a beautiful collection! Amazing gemstones 😍✨

I am in love with crystals and I must say you are a solid collector!! lady. A normal person can't be passionate about nature this way, you must definitely be a super soul.

Very rich collection. Great to see them all.

Ooo your collection is so pretty.... but I do prefer more so smaller sizes that are wearable than huge statement stones :) it makes is hard for me to pass up purchasing the larger attractive pieces but I do actually have a few on my night stand :)

So sad you didn't talk about the kyanite.... beautiful collection though. I'd sit there getting lost in that labradorite ball!!!

Try hematite, jade,and Amethyst sage, and stones that your not feeling it can be used in macrame ,wire work or can use in a sun catcher dream chetcher

How do you track the prices for your gems for when you sell them?

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing

3 жыл бұрын

To some, I add little stickers with prices and put them on their backs. The rest, I usually keep invoices ad they have photos, so it's easy for me to find them. I know it migth seem like there's too many gems to keep track of, but I actually know each one of them and remember where to check their info. But it helps to write the details on small stickers or pieces of paper and add to folders/drawers too!

Not sure if you have gotten this comment yet but you could get a selenite holder for your labradorite sphere

would be interested in what the sizes are for your small gem cabochons as I always have difficulty estimating their sizes. thank you

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing

2 жыл бұрын

Wchin ones do you have in mind? The smallest ones, round ones and drop ones are in the range of 4mm-8mm (round) and 9mm - 12mm (drops). Little Turquoise is between 5mm - 15mm. The all the other, irregular sizes, small and medium ones are usually about between 10mm -25mm :) The larger ones are more around 30mm - 45mm. I'm not sure if it helps, but I hope it does! :)

Hello Basia, you have a wunderfull collection of so many gemstones. It is inspiring to look at them 😍. May ask you, where you got the rectangular Kunzite in the first box? I like especially the shape. Greetings from Germany

12:43 Ooooo!

Wow love these ! Do you ship jewelry to the US?

Question? Do you have a book or resource which shows you what all the gemstones look like as like a reference for what they look like, or their properties etc? Trying to find a basic simple book which shows you what all the gemstones look like finished and raw and their meanings properties star signs etc, for jewellery making. I keep finding weird ones to do with witches or using them to heal instead of just a simple resource to tell you about the stone and a image of what it’s like colour wise etc. any suggestions! Thanks
