I have said a few times in the past that I can simply see a piece of jewellery even only briefly in a magazine or a shop window and not only have it memorised perfectly but instantly know how to make it. Well, now I have my own workshop set up I can put that to the test! While out with my wife recently we visited a watch specialists here in Japan and on the wall there was a large photo of a diamond pendant. It was a simple and elegant design but simultaneously quite a show stopper. A few days later I randomly remembered it and thought it would be a nice piece for the channel and also I could finally prove to myself that I can make something I had only quickly looked at. The full video after editing was 90 minutes long so I decided to make it a 3 part series made of 3, 30 minute episodes. Look out for the surprise special guest appearance in this episode! I have recently join Patreon! This channel has potential to grow in to a great archive of jewellers knowledge with your help. With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to. With nearly 25 years of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level found in High Street jewellers workshops. I have been lucky enough to have been taught by actual Bond Street shop model makers and my ambition is to share what I have learned through out my career to as many people as possible. My vehicle to do this is the Diamond Mounter YouTube channel and now after nearly 1 year of uploading video guides, its time to take it up a level. My ambition is to be able to make instructional videos with not just silver, but gold and platinum also. Some proper jewellers soldering equipment will enable me to create much more special pieces too! This will open up a whole new world of information I have to share. There are many specific methods and techniques used for the different precious metals and knowledge about gemstones I can teach that will never enter my videos unless I am actually working with them.

Just 2 months ago at the end of November 2022 a new AI powered software called ChatGPT was released for public use. Created by Open.AI an artificial intelligence laboratory founded by Elon Musk in San Francisco it has become the fastest adopted software release in history. A new technological revolution has begun! Clearly a clever little sausage so I wanted to test its understanding of jewellery making techniques and design capabilities. Are us jewellers gonna be out of a job soon??!
