    I was introduced to screw backs when I called dibs on them of my grandmothers when she passed in my late teens and none of my cousins wanted them either. They;ve become an obsession, and I maintain they are the ONLY kind I can wear for hours and hours and they don't breakout my ears. They're awesome.

    I used to wear screw backs when I was little. I love the omega backs. Sometimes they hurt.

      Thank you so much for watching & commenting! ❤️ It fascinates me how different shapes ears handle different constructions of earrings. Weight of the earring also comes into play!

    Great video, this helped me learn more about a family inheritance. Do you have a video/advice on where/how to take jewelry for ID, assessment? It’s hard to feel trusting of dealers, but I also value their time and don’t expect free advice. Thank you!

      Glad to hear it was helpful! To have your pieces assessed I would recommend finding an appraiser who specializes with gems and jewelry. The International Society of Appraisers (ISA) upholds standards and methodologies & comply with USPAP, maintaining high ethic standards, and will take into account your specific needs. Please feel free to email me at sundaebaubles@gmail.com If you would like more info & recommendations 💕

    My favorite is the Omega back. The rest either severely pinch my ears or fall off my ears.

    If you could turn your broach dating/identification live stream into a video I would appreciate it.
    I shared your channel with a person who found a potentially old broach metal detecting.

      Hi Pigeon Blood Ruby - here's a link to a video I've made on using the hinge and clasp for dating brooches: ua-cam.com/video/XveS4-eHga8/v-deo.html -- Please let me know if there is another one you have in mind do let me know & I'll be happy to turn it into a video! Happy to take a look at the mystery brooch as well - just drop me a line at sundaebaubles@gmail.com 😘

      @@sundaebaubles Wow, thank you for the video link. I was searching your recent live streams, I missed this video.
      I believe I provided the incorrect dating after watching your broach video. His broach is toasted from being in a farmers field.
      He's metal detecting a field that has ancient roman artifacts. So it has lot's of history still in the dirt and unfortunately deteriorating. They send what they think might be a national treasure to the university for analysis.
      This is the only image of the clasp:

      This is the broach reassembled. Hit the pause button as it's not shown for very long.

    Thanks for the tutorials, would a hand made deco piece be more valuable then machine cut? Or was it technically all hand made?

    • @sundaebaubles
      @sundaebaubles  Рік тому

      Hi Quest, thanks for watching and your great question! The answer is complex: By the Art Deco period, in addition to handmade pieces technology had evolved to a point where some components were machine produced and hand assembled, and some pieces were machine produced. In general, a hand made pieces would be more scarce than a hand assembled piece made of machine parts, and a machine made piece would likely be the most common because more units would have been made. That said, value is a combination of rarity/scarcity, desirability, and materials. Some makers and companies are highly collectible, and this can increase the price regardless of the fabrication. This is a great topic and I will cover it in more detail in a future video!
