What separates a beginner jeweller from a true master? In this video, Russ — our master jeweller with decades of bench experience — reacts to jewellery makers from across YouTube. We’ve selected three levels of work: • A novice jeweller • An intermediate bench jeweller • A true master craftsman Russ walks through the techniques, the mistakes, and the moments that made him stop and say: "You should never do that." We also look at the work of Pablo Cimadevila, one of the most respected jewellery makers on YouTube, and break down what makes his work stand out from the crowd. This isn’t about criticism — it’s about understanding the craft. From soldering techniques and stone setting to the small details that separate good jewellery from great jewellery, Russ explains what experienced jewellers look for at the bench.
