- Buying jewelry isn't always a clear-cut decision with so many options and details to know about beforehand like carats or material weight, whether its gold, platinum or other popular precious metals used for custom bling nowadays. HYPEBEAST recently sat down with some of today's notable jewelry-makers and we picked their brains about what people should really look for when it comes to making such a special and expensive purchase.
In this episode of HYPEBEAST How To, mastercraftsman Greg Yuna along with A$AP Eva of Popular Jewelry NYC and Alex Moss of Avianne & Co. help us break down the many factors involving buying jewelry. While topics such as personal style and budget come to play, other things like current trends and seeking out the best designer for your vision must also be observed. Buying jewelry has gone beyond just choosing and paying attention to color, cut, clarity and carat weight. With custom pieces being so extravagant nowadays, its best to let these experts tell you what you're really paying for and what type of service, time and execution are really on the table when it comes to getting the piece you ultimately want.
It is important to establish a good working relationship with a trusted jeweler.
This is so true....
Sabrina Merrick well go to hattan garden in London
dirty little secret: icing out gold chains and watches actually lowers the value.
Depends on a lot of things... you will have value in the stones aswell
possibly. but it affects the weight of the piece. unless you have an investment grade diamond, anything you sell will be weighed for metal content. that's what you'll get. dealers will pay spot for the metal & they gon get the stones for free. then, melt it, or mark up the price & make their profit.
Yep, but not much. The stones will most definitely cover the cost of the metal drilled out. When you talk about the Ice out of the piece losing its value I would refer to high-end watches losing their value because of messing with the watch originality and not the loss of material. But yes if you are investing in gold through a piece of jewelry I would not consider busting down the piece.
Who cares about value if you're not planning on reselling dumbass
Tex Rhinestone who cares about having what you like
When the jeweller asked you not to buy any lab made diamonds😂
THRILLING MOLLY one day lab made diamond production will be so abundant they will be absolutely worthless
Diamonds are actually worthless now
@@kwilliams544 That's like sayings money is worthless because paper isn't rare.
Not the same , you can leverage money to purchase other THINGS but not with a diamond...try returning a diamond after you buy it and watch what he tells you
@@kwilliams544 lol with a retail grade diamond? Sure, but you clearly have no knowledge of investment grade stones lmao. Argyle Pink Diamonds alone have increased about 5x in value over the last few years.
ASAP EVA!! MY LADY HELD ME DOWN
LITERALLY the only reason Alex says ”don’t buy labmade” is because it negatively affects his and other jewelers ability to finesse these stupid rappers overpaying for everything. labmade diamonds are the most flawless form of diamond out there.
Also they aren't blood diamonds. Nobody is being hurt in the making of them. They're cheaper and just as good if not better.
Just doesn’t have any value to it if u ever wanna sell it lol
And there cheaper you want real diamonds just so you know there real if you trying to buy lab made might as well just get CZ and its even cheaper but they aren’t worth shit besides labor cost
@@gabyk3637 No that's the biggest issue in the diamond industry no one can tell the difference they test out the same. Jewelers don't even know the difference if that information isn't being shared that it is a lab diamond. It literally starts out a diamond crystal in a chamber and grows into a literal diamond. its cheaper because there no real work being put into it and it doesn't take millions of years to form they can have a 1ctw diamond in just a few months. You can buy a ring full of lab diamonds and resale as genuine from the ground diamond theirs no way to tell the difference
Justin Wedding of course they wud be able to tell buy a man made diamond and try to sell it I’m talkin from experience one has real value one doesn’t any gemologist wud be able to tell the difference there’s ways it’s 2019 bro
I purchased a 20” 18kt vs quality Tennis necklace from Alex years ago, still rockin it everyday
I love these lil info videos, take them all into consideration and make your own choices, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
Been going to Eva since 2017 she does the right thing and her prices are fair u pay for what u get but her inventory is by far the best I’ve come across from old school to new school

I love my rope chains, I don’t need anything so flashy, but if I could get a tennis I would, but only one. And I’d care for it for a long as I have to
How much should I be paying for a 25" 18k rope chain? Been trying to get one but the jewelers around my city give me shady vibes
Went to buy a gold chain and Avianne charges 70$/gram. They cappin when normal gold sells for 35-40/gram

The reason the prices are so high for them 1 this is trending 2 the industry wants people to believe diamonds are super rare. When its quute the opposite. Opal is better!
All you need is a 18K solid gold Cuban around 12-13mm width and around 24-28 inch long if you can afford 18K if not 14K will suffice. If you get in a bind you can sell it and get most of your money back spending on how long you had it and how much gold prices increase and going of the economy and stock market prices you probably will not loose any money. Now you start with that “bust down” non sense and you just a wasting money. But to each their own. Get a plane gold chain or watch and that’s a smart purchase. Even though I notice people like to criticize people that wear jewelry like I mentioned. But they will be the same ones buying cigarettes and drinking every weekend and have a 60 grand car on finance like that makes sense. Had a debate with a co-worker about this.
Lab made diamonds are real they’re just mad that they’re about to lose a bunch of business because of the lab made diamonds
Paul Daniel Williams but theres a huge difference. Yes both are real but natural diamonds are more expensive than lab diamonds. A single lab diamond will cost you $2,500 while a natural diamond will cost you around $8,000. So imagine trying to buy an iced out watch that has lab diamonds and another one that has natural diamonds? Quality will cost you more.
Are they even distinguishable
@@pauldanielwilliams5136 Just enjoy how stupid people are. We are so brainwashed to believe diamonds are rare.Dude in the comment talks about a iced out watch. Well, that's the worst investment you can do. Just assume hat EVERY diamond you see from now on is man made. Granite is probably more valuable by now.
When I see a video like this I just KNOW he wont tell the truth. A diamond is worthless, but when people see the sparkles in they get hypnotized again. Its ridiculous .
@@brick0108 It sounds like you don't understand the appreciation people have for diamonds. Natural diamonds are among the top of the worlds toughest materials, it's used in many businesses for many different reasons, it's an old tradition, it's a lucrative business, they shine beautifully, there's many diffrent shapes to choose from, the diamond cutting process is perceived as prestigious work because of the precision and technique that goes into it, it's a status symbol. There's so many reasons I can't come up with them all.
Big diamonds in rare colors are still super expensive and rare. They only appear in small clusters usually and can only be mined for a finite ammount of time. The diamond business is and has been a dirty one throughout the years, but what business isn't? People in all classes, cultures and businesses can be fucking assholes and most are, just adapt to it and try to prosper.
Yep
Anyone from the UK they will understand this message..... Ill go to Claire Accessories lol

These are facts no cap, it's common knowledge if youre into jewelry, I aint tryna get finessed by a jeweller but everyone should know the facts if youre into jewellery
If your looking to save money while buying nice pieces look at used and pre owned jewelry, pawnshops will sometimes sell you it for price per gram just so they don’t have to pay it to get melted and some of that stuff has sat for months and years. Do your research look at what gold is going for that day, offer lower than asking price. When you go to a jewelry shop your buying the same damn thing + their labor cost, it could mean the difference in hundreds or thousands of dollars for the same thing
that TMT chain was insane... need a vid on that!
I think if I became super rich, I would definitely be the kind of person who would buy my jewellery at Sotheby's and Christie's at auction; diamonds and trinkets that belonged to royalty, personalities and enigmas from the mid century.
The most I'd do here is a tasteful Cuban-link because my Dad had a beautiful gold one all his life. And maybe some fang grills... Ok back to my staggeringly empty bank account😂😂😂
Ahh, to know you have taste and no money😩
To any of the younger folk that don't have too much money to play around with, (like myself), do not listen to that guy and just buy CZ diamonds! Don't break your bank wanting to get real diamonds, just read all these other comments about the difference between them. Hardly any to sum up.
I need that puppy t shirt
I find stuff like this in my jewelry jars sometimes! I'm now uploading jewelry jar openings! I love jewelry!! 😍😍😍
IM Designs&Treasures just shut the fuck up
a VS diamond can have a brighter shine then a VVS diamond just because the color of the VS diamond, people don’t know that😂 and people think VVS diamonds are the #1 diamonds when it’s really Flawless/Internal flawless diamonds
FACTS i hate the rappers who be like "vs no flaws i be flexin" stupid your diamond isnt flawless lol
Jamal Khan 😂😂 Be sounding dumb, everyone raps about VVS not knowing there’s better quality. I don’t think there’s a rapper with a flawless diamond chain, only flawless diamond teeth
Slick Gzzz FL diamonds are stupid expensive
Diego Martinez Yea that’s true but a lot of rappers are getting flawless diamonds in there grills. Either way you can’t tell the difference by eye which is flawless and VVS. You need a microscope
@@S3TheDon the only person i can think of flawless jewelry is gucci mane
I buy my jewelry at the local family owned jewelry store. I don’t go to big ripped off places in NYC.
Just get real gold with cheapest or fake diomands. The stones hold absolutely no value once you buy it, unless it's a huge flawless stone.
big facts!
Don’t buy stones unless they’re .50+ carats. If you can get GIA 0.5c ones you have still have a chance of getting up to 75% of your money back later. Hello kitty diamonds, yes, useless and worthless.
E PD good info here
@3:30 add an extra C for certification if you want legit graded diamonds only buy GIA any other graded diamonds aren’t going to be graded accurately
i got a necklace worth around 50k, got around with it for 2 days or so and never put it on again .. cant stand people thinking your someone or something else when really your so much more then just a fancy necklace ... when your the real deal your the real deal and no necklace can make you into something your not.. a nice small piece yeah cool but going big just tells me your really small
Huh? y stop
I’ll take it off your hands 😂
I loved the tattoo artist metaphor 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Why isn’t elliante with his avianne family any more ?
He jist wanted to go solo because since he was making the biggest peices he started his own brand
I like platinum, but it's too expensive for me. Not a gold fan. I like white gold. My white gold chain and pendant is 18k to prolong the oxidation. Keep it white longer, before it turns back to gold or limit having to get it done again in white gold. Platinum is a naturally white precious metal with low density. It will always be white and very durable, but...it's expensive. So, I settle with white gold. I might still get platinum in the future, but only a 1.3mm Franco chain.
#platinum gang
I’m guessing platinum is more expensive than 24k gold?
Yup they spensive lol! I want simple platinum chain. I'll get one, one of these days, don't feel like forking out 3k to 5k right now.
The best way to get real 👌 good jewelry pawn shop 💯%
I like Moissanites, and the actual precious metal. I can go without diamonds, as long as the chain/pendants are solid.
.."a whole mouth guard"...??! GRILLZZ you mean!!!1:06
This is why I fuck wit hypebeast!
song/ beat at 2:37 ???
He said dont buy Lab made stones haha why not ....Lab stones are dimonds even pass the dimond tester with flying colors because technically they are dimonds ....yet a blue 3 carat Lab made stone is .. $5,500 instead of $55,000 get the gist here diamonds are not even that rare.... what make some rare is the people that own diamond mines only let out a certain amount of diamonds per 10 years so if you limit the production of your diamonds they become rare because they are not that many available to Jewelers.. that is a fact......
Danny Casino THANK YOU!! finally someone says it
you can buy a lab grown diamond then make a jeweler set it and go to another store and 100% of the time they will offer a pretty penny because you literally cannot tell the difference
You’re just poor and want to look like you have money you don’t buying lab diamonds lmmfao
D G or maybe he just doesn’t wanna spend all that money, u gotta make some smart choices sometimes 🤷🏻♂️
or you know you want to spend 1/2 the money on the same fucking thing...
amazing video..best collection jewelry....option to choose personal style...love it
❤️nice❤️ Życzę wam dużo zdrowia i szczęścia w interesach kocham takich ludzi jak wy pozdrawiam szacunek

Need that fr
Am curious is that ASAP eva in the background
yes
Whoever engineered the audio could've done better. I had to readjust the damn volume frequently during this video. Very informative video nonetheless. HYPBEAST!
People get too caught up on the glamour and don’t know the process.
I have a pendent and chain i want get like k or two of dimonds where and how would i do that
Lab grown and moissanite looks amazing. There isnt much reason not to go with that unless youre a natural diamond purist
Lab diamonds are stupid you’re paying thousands for a fake chain 🤣
It also depends how deep is your pocket what you can afford to buy what are you willing to spend?
I love chains and Bradley’s and grills
i was passing by popular jewelry
(going to a nets game while im visting) and what the place has against it is because it’s on canal street, and if you know canal street

I've never been to a black owned jewelry store. I'd love to be able to break into the industry.
Yeah unfortunately never come across black jewelers. Atleast in Nyc diamond district where Aviannes at, but thats because Israelis run that shit lol im sure in atlanta or in the south theres alot.
@@gusdee4844 I wonder why they run it. Is it a wealth of gold in Israel and they get it for a great price or is it just their "thing"? I'm in the south and I haven't seen any yet but I hope there are some out there. We need a piece of that.
@@mrdurtydawg honestly have no clue, tried looking it up but no info. Probably their thing like u said. Maybe there were a few at the start of the district and it just expanded. Now it got me wondering the history of it.
@@gusdee4844 word. Lemme k ow what you find out. I remember a black guy name Chris Aire that had some nice nice jewelry but it was way too costly for me. I think he's still in the game.

How to buy jewelry !?
With Money !!
Real diamonds are just as worthless as lab made, like money,people give it value
Yep
Plus they are exactly the same 😂😂 just cheaper to purchase than genuine diamonds and jewelers love to get the most money they can out of u 😂😂
Diamonds are valuable if they are flawless and have a decent amount of carats.
Gostei muito das pecas ? Muito lindas .pena que nao tem uma dublagem em português. Queria fazer contato
Dang and Wong seem very reasonable. The other two who started their price range at $1000 seem expensive. To me it seems Asian people work very hard. Wong said for a $100 you can get this and that. Johnny Dang is so popular because he doesn’t charge so much and still delivers high quality. We don’t know what the margins of Diamonds are. In the end they are just rocks that have been cut and polished. After you go to these mom and pap jewelry store, you don’t go to Tiffany’s anymore. At those mom and pap places you can get way more for less.
Dam William you fuckin iced out my boy😂🚫🧢
Can you do a 10mm Miami cuban video?
One day..
Does anyone know the names of the jewelers in this video? Or the names of their stores? Thank you
Travis Thompson they put their names in the video
i love seeing things i'll never be able to buy
You can if you try, within reason of course. It is just about how much you are willing to sacrifice.
Could someone give me a list of some trusted jewlery websites my maximum im willing to spend is 3k
TraxNYC.com
Avianne
Ifandco
Jacoje
Daniel jewelry inc
I still want some v.v.s's
Dope video 🥶🔥
What's the resale on say a handmade cuban 18ct. Is it scrap value. Or does it hold better residues due to being quality made?
Most folks who think they have vs, have si1 or 2 with decent colore and many folks who think they have si1 have i1 with decent color. You can give a client a 10xs power loop and they wouldn't have a clue what to look for. They wouldnt know about inclusions being close to the center and how many there are of them. Not just carbon but feathers or other types of stones. Stones with flourecense that look like shit in natural light and glow in black lighting. Shit like that gets you caught up in the moment when you see a nice 10ct. Bracelet hitting inside and when taking outside it looses it luster fast!
where uzi at?
Great vid
I bought my 10kt white wedding diamond ring, in a pawn shop. $100 bucks!
Why am I watching this? I don't even like gold chains, and hate those big chains with lots of diamonds incrusted.
But when it comes to silver 🖤
Silver sucks
So if I was making a custom chain with silver would I have a lot more to play with ?
🗣Aviani I'm telling ya.. get your appraisal papers ya dig💪🏾
I buy my jewellery specifically for the haters.i love how people look at my chains when I'm wearing them.they look mad.lol.i love it.keep on haters.
Dope piece !
Made with high priced quartz! It’s just a rock. Debeers is the one who sets the price and tells u “wow that’s worth that!”
DeBeers is no longer a monopoly dawg
What type of earrings is that guy wearing?
Diamond cross drop earrings.
I was high af and tought that the dog waa real lmao
Thank you HB
How does one learn how to create custom pieces
DDthegreat87 there’s jewelry schools
Love Gold ☺🔥
Gold holds weight. Bustdown, decreases the value in your jewelry unless it came with diamonds. Customs aren’t worth much, who’s gonna buy something with your name on it?
Anyone know any good jewelers(online)
Jacoje?
ok wheres that puppy shirt from I wanttt
Sabrina Wong Just Google “Dog in Pocket T-Shirt” I thought it might have been designer but no I just paid 24 bucks for one.
Is MACY'S a good place to get things ???
Super bling

I went to "Gold Teeth Canada" and spent like 3-4 G's on Grillz and got treated like SHIT, terrible customer service, completely REGRET spending my hard earned money, and they Didn't even cast it in the right Gold....first and LAST experience...

Abow VVS is IF and F why dont they tell that...
All these are hella dope! But nobody ever asks these ballers, don't all these heavy chains hurt your neck? Especially long term wearing them? Any studies on this?
I think if you want a bust down you get it without the intention to resell.
As for ppl commenting about black jewellers, I’ve noticed the jewelry game is hereditary for the most part. I haven’t come across a black jeweller who got into the industry from their family.
