I’ve watched several of your videos now, and want to express how much I appreciate the editing of each YT presentation with the compilation of several clips. There is no excess footage of mundane crowd or facility views, your assessments of individual pieces are straightforward and to the point, shots and close-ups of the items are good enough that the YT viewer can truly see characteristics of interest, and you throw in enough audience interaction and humor to educate and entertain. Well done, Dr. Lori and Team! I wish you much success! 💎
Thank you @JesseO Stone! We're happy to hear you enjoy the videos. We try our best to show as much as we can so you can enjoy and learn. Not sure if all similar YT presenters offer the same.
Fantastic comment 🏆
Love Dr. Lori, she's so funny, not to mention a genius.
Thanks for watching Tracey!
I adore your sense of humor, and your knowledge!!!!!
Thanks for writing Kathy. Hope to see you at an event :)
Stumbled on your site and what a breath of fresh air ! Truth ! Real brass tack honesty ! YOU GO GIRL !
Welcome! Thanks for watching.
I must admit Dr. Lori, that is one of the many reasons I like you, is the fact you are NOT " a dog in the hunt" you are one of the last decent human beings that actually care about being a fair and honorable person and were obviously raised with morals and great values and if that was not enough to like you already, you are a caring, and sharing to complete strangers you want to assist and help others which is amazing not to mention your impeccable work ethic and the fact you were blessed with a huge brain! You say, that we, your fans and followers are priceless. But I can tell you its the other way around Dr. Lori, YOU are the priceless one! And besides how many people would it take to try and replace you anyway? With a Italian accent, " Forget about it!"
Thank you.
Love your videos, I binge watch them and learn so much from each videos, not to mention that you are so funny and a straight shooter. Keep up the great work - make sure to take time for yourself. You are working very hard.
I never get enough of watching u Dr. Lori. U r so full of knowledge n I thank u sharing ur knowledge with me n all of us . Yes!!! U r the BEST!
You are so sweet! Thanks for watching. Don't forget to share with others so they can benefit.
All of the rings were gorgeous !!!
You said not to leave her jewelry... I’ve actually had a diamond switched while getting a repair done 😒 It was a local small town jeweler.
Unfortunately I've had to bear this bad news when appraising jewelry over the years. Thanks for sharing so it can help others.
Michelle Elle I wondered if that happens. Gosh, that’s horrible. Good to know this information. Thanks for sharing.
That happened to me with a ruby in a ring. The ring was returned with a ruby that had a chip out of the back of it.
@@barb-jm7990 Sorry to hear that, but as I always say, share your story as you did here so others are aware this could happen.
Thats why Im scared to even take in my diamond rings I wear all the time.
I love how you talk to your audience. You make me laugh.
I did pick out the most expensive ring. But the value did blow me away.
Marge, thanks for playing and watching :)
Dr Lori. Thank goodness your appraising amen
Dr.lori is great women who laughingly deliver knowledge to other.
Hi dr Lori. Oh my that beautiful 30 thousand diamond ring oh my goodness
I just love watching your videos especially regarding jewelry!
Glad you like them! Don't forget to share so others can enjoy them too.
You have an electric personality. Good for you, and thank you for sharing your passion and expertise with the world. Sending best wishes from Australia.
Thank you and be safe. Don't eat too much Vegemite in you are in lock down, save some for the rest of us :)
Dr. Lori Hahaha it takes me about a year to get through a jar of Vegemite. Have to spread that stuff very thinly! Thinking of you all in North America during this current challenge.
Another great video! And I love your sense of humour. You seem like you'd be fun to hang out with.
Thanks Rachel. Come to an event so we can hang out!
I like this lady and her personality.
I like you too Tina! Thanks for watching.
I've been watching other "appraisers (compare/contrast)." They use computers in order to validate their appraisals (using sites they pay $2000 a year to access), because I'm a collector and need accurate information--and, they're boring and definitely don't have the knowledge, experience, expertise of Dr. Lori.
Dr. Lori carries it all around in her brain: amazing!
Dr. Lori, you deserve all the accolades you garner!
Thanks very much. I have spent more than two decades trying to show people the difference between my appraisals and others-and to help people navigate the appraisal world-because it matters a lot. I appreciate you recognizing it. Lmk if i can be of help.
Omg, beautiful rings! I have my great grandmothers called a mother daughter ring passed down to me:) I’ll have to have it appraised
Bring it to one of my events or send me photos using a form on my website!
Dr. Lori for sure! My daughter lives in Houston, I’m about four hrs. From her. I think you are going to be in Houston
@@theresafain1059 Yes, I'm in Houston a lot. Keep tabs on my event schedule at www.DrLoriV.com/events. Introduce yourself and say hi!
You're amazing. Thank you for your knowledge. I spend many hours watching and learning from your videos.
You are very welcome! Don't forget to share the videos!
Love you, Dr. Lori! Just discovered your channel while looking for vintage jewelry videos on youtube! Your videos are the best! Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge! Binge watching your videos! God bless you!!
Welcome Sarah! Thanks for watching! More jewelry vids are scheduled.
Just love how you advocate!!! ❤
I would love to see a video of what Dr. Lauri has in her jewelry collection!
As for my alexandrite ring , all the jewelers I saw to have it appraised , they all wanted to send it out for appraisal and I said no. if you cannot do it in front of me , I will not leave it with them.
And you're smart for that. I wont let anyone work on mine.
My sister left her diamond engagement ring to be sized and they replaced her beautiful solitaire with an inclusion-filled one. My best friend left her beautiful garnet ring with the jeweler. It was a cherished birthday gift from her father. When she picked it up, the exquisite garnet had been replaced with a smaller, darker cloudy one. Now, 50- some years later, she is still saddened by this, still mentions it sometimes when she wears the ring. Both jewelers, of course, denied it happened.
@@nancyfarris5093 I'm so sorry for your sister and best friend. But, happy to hear you are sharing this story so others know it does happen at times. Make sure you document what you have before getting any jewelry or any piece for that matter repaired or cleaned.
Thank you Dr. Lori for your kind reply and the good advice you gave about preventing future incidents like this by knowing what you have & documenting by taking pictures before a repair or cleaning.
@@nancyfarris5093 Happy to help! Know what you have too meaning type of stone, setting, etc.
I love your approach, authenticity, and humor as you educate us. Coming to Texas anytime soon? You are so entertaining!
Thanks Jennifer. I'm coming back to Texas in March. Keep tabs on my schedule on my website :)
Love this one! Sell some of your jewelry and take a trip before you can’t ! ✈️🛳
Thanks Gail. Make sure you get an unbiased appraisal first before you sell. In other words, don't sell it to the person who appraises it :)
I need to save up because I have a few with stones and other high end designer that need to be valued.
@@fabulouslifeinchrist1349 Maybe think of bringing a few pieces to one of my events to get started.
@@DrLoriV do you come to Birmingham, AL? I have not seen it on the calendar.
@@fabulouslifeinchrist1349 I've been to Birmingham a few times. My events get scheduled when people like you tell groups in Birmingham to host my events!
I remember seeing doctor Lori on Auction Kings
That was me :) Old episodes are online, probably on Discovery +, Quest TV and other places around the world.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I shop frequently at thrift stores for jewelry and have found some beautiful pieces. Hopefully I can come to your shows on day 😀
Happy to hear you enjoy the vids! Keep shopping because the finds are out there! I see them come in at my events. Please say hi when you attend an event. My schedule is always up to date on my website :)
That would be great Dr. Lori!! Would love to meet you maybe in a show out west in California? 👍
@@greeneyesvintagejewelrybyt5397 I'm just waiting for a group in California to invite me and have me back. Get your friends, family and YT followers here together and tell them!
I love watching and learning
Happy to hear it! Don't forget to share the videos so others can enjoy.
Love , love , love to watch you.
Thanks Carrie, don't forget to share on your channel and Facebook!
Love you sweetie. Always make me laugh. Keep up the great work you do.
Thank you, I will! Please share them on social media with friends and family to support the channel :)
Just love your work, i think you are awesome.
Thanks Carol!
Thanks Dr.Laura! Great info.
I'm in love with that last ring ❤
Thanks for watching. BTW it's Dr. Lori :)
@@DrLoriV wow I knew that!
Sorry 😂 darn auto
@@southernsass2937 No problem :)
I just love that she doesn't have a dog in the hunt!
Lady you are the BOSS
I really enjoy your videos on jewelry! I hope to see you in person one day with some of my jewelry!
Thanks Kathy. More videos on jewelry finds are on the schedule! Hope to see you at an event :)
Is there anything you don't know?? Gosh you are awesome Dr. LORI!!
Yes, one thing is sticking to a diet :)
@@DrLoriV I hear you bring that up a lot. You are perfectly YOU. I had WLS 4 yrs ago. I was taught that as long as I kept my portions small, kept protein intake high, and take all needed vitamins, the weight would stay off. Last January the weight started coming back. It has been 4 yrs without desserts, pasta, rice, bread, butter, or sugar! My bariatric team told me I am who I am on a cellular level no matter what I do.
Any way I get it. I am surrounded by family that looks like barbie dolls.
You inspire me. You are brilliant. I love learning from your videos!
@@mollyv8b705 Thanks for sharing your story. So sorry to hear about your struggle.
I can’t wait to see you at the Humble Civic Center on March 28, 2020!!! I just need to figure out what to bring!
I can help. Bring friends and family and have them carry your extra items! That way you don't have as hard of a decision :)
Was the event cancelled due to CV ?
Wow! Love your shows!
Dr Lori- how do people get appraisals at a store? What I mean is, what is the routine? Is it all done right in front of you or at least to where you can watch and keep an eye on your jewelry? Do people generally set up appointments ? Can you request it not be taken to the back or out of the room?
Not that I’m going to one-
The one I did go to years ago wanted to keep my jewelry until they could get to it and that was around 2-3 months waiting period. I said no thank you and walked out.
I do plan on sending photos of mind to you after the holidays.
Love your show, always learning something nee! Thanks Dr Lori!
Thanks for watching! When looking at a piece in person, I do my appraisals right in front of you at events. My in person events are first come, first served no appointments. Remember, it's your item, you should do what you want. If something is suggested that you don't feel comfortable, then simply take your item elsewhere politely.
Awesome videos as usual
Glad you like them!
I love to learn and you make it fun, easy, and worth it. I want to be a regular. Talk to you soon.
Welcome! Happy to hear it!!
This lady is crazy smart🤯🤯🤯👌👌👌👍
Thankyou
Hi Dr Lorie,i really injoyed this video on your jewllery of antique rings you done,it was very interesting to learn about the diamonds weight and also that the value in a setting can be worth some money in the materials used in a ring.☮💖⚘🌹💍💎🇦🇺

It's my first time watching your videos and I've subscribed, you're smart, funny and I'm excited to watch the rest of your videos to see what I can learn, I've loved jewellery since I was a child and want to see what I should add to my small collection. Thanks for the videos!
Welcome! I have a lot of videos on jewelry and more to come.
❤❤❤
Could actually learn something from watching these. Wish she could look at my rings now.😂
I can look at photos now using forms on my website
That was fun, I think you picked a career that suits you. A lot of information to remember.!!, wish you’d come to Victoria canada 🇨🇦
Thanks. I’ve been to Victoria , beautiful! Was just in Vancouver too.
Dr, what site can I purchas your products such as jewlers loop.. just stated watcing last night. You are so refreshing.
@@jackiechavis1905 See my website for details.
Wow beautiful rings and wow on the value. I love vintage rings always on the look out for them in my local pawn brokers .my family dont have any vintage jewellery to hand down witch is a shame love to own vintage jewellery from my grandmother o well just buy my own from pawnbrokers.
Thanks for sharing :)
I was only teasing about the job. I am envious of your knowledge. Where will you be in 2020 for your lectures? I would love to attend. Your great! Have a great week and stay well !
Sorry I missed that :) My schedule is always updated on my website and you can sign up for email alerts. The schedule is never complete as new shows are added all the time throughout 2020.
@@DrLoriV Thank you I would like to attend one. Your very good! Did you attend a college or private school ? I thought I new a lot ------ ha you put me in my little place fast ! Your a real joy to have in the antique world. Don't be so down on your body image. Your beauty! Thank you for your reply. Oh I wanted to mention I'm a button collector. I just purchased some from Russia. Beautiful! Have a great week. Wanda
@@wandaneff5833 Thanks Wanda. Buttons are popular! Yes I attended college. If you are interested my bio is on my website and there is a video on my channel on how I got started at ua-cam.com/video/FXfjDe_WaZI/v-deo.html
@@wandaneff5833 I told her that many many videos ago that if she would please stop making fun of her size because it does not matter. my husband weighs 300 or so pounds and I never for one moment had any problem with it. I am 5 foot 5 and weigh 120 lbso would people make fun of me because of my size I don't think so. So I wish you would stop referring to her weight as a way to stop people from saying something before she can.I know all the tricks for a living with my husband for 25 years before he passed away at 46 years old doing a radical surgery of a gastric bypass miss him every day and my oldest son as well who passed away when he was 23
Dr Lori...will you ever be in the Chicago or Northern Illinois area? I have pieces that I just don't trust to take anywhere.
I was just in Chicago a few months ago. You can wait for my return or you could send me photos using a form on my website. We could even chat during a FaceTime or Skype call.
I will check your website and take pictures! Thank you so very much!
The problem with retail value is you can’t sell it for even half of the price.
Not true! Retail is what people pay, I see it all the time. 50% is wholesale/auction. Thanks for the question
how we can contact you i want to ask you about many things
Use my website at www.DrLoriV.com/contact
How long does it normally take to here back from Dr Lori or someone working for her about a picture of some pearl necklaces i sent a few days ago. I guess if it was something good she would contacted me.
Did you check your junk and spam folders for our reply? Also, after your submission, we send a confirmation email telling that you successfully submitted your inquiry. Did you receive that email so you know your submission was successful? Happy to help.
@Dr. Lori I checked and do not have a confirmation from you or anything to Do with Dr Lori except that u liked my comment. Let me get a few pictures together today and I will send them in. Thank u Dr Lori !!
I have a diamond look alike ring with big stone on top and diamonds on both sides halfway to the circumference of the ring and marking is LCDLJ, what is this sterling silver or pure silver? Real diamond stone or fake? It has no other marking, no .925 marking either.
I can help, need to see it. Can you send me photos? Bring it to one of my events?
I recently went to Value Village and my mind confused me because I'm not educated and I bought a ring that appear to be a very expensive diamond and on the inside it said 925 and I psyched myself all up and got excited and thought I had a yellow diamond so I did the breast test and it didn't even stay a second on it and then I scratched my mirror and the glass scratched and I thought so it's got to be real diamond LOL so I took it to a jeweller he didn't even test the diamond but he said it's not a real diamond and yet it looks so real.. he told me that a real diamond would not be set in silver ... when I took a picture of it and magnified it and it just looks magnificent in the light....it had a bunch of colours . A lot of Blues and it sparkled and I got sucked in. Well it look like a yellow diamond but next time I'm going to be a lot more careful I just don't know why it's scratched the mirror and scratched the glass and I assume because it said 925.. that it was real. Oh well I only paid $25 for it and looks nice on my hand
I can help you identify and value your pieces. You might want to look into my Treasure Hunting kit on my website that includes a Professional Jeweler Diamond Tester .
So left field question Dr. Lori....
Do have a photographic memory? You are the Google of bits and bobbles.
Thanks. Lots of tuition money and training.
How can I have you to appraise a piece of Victorian jewelry?
Sure. I look at people's antiques through photos submitted to me, via video calls or you can bring it to one of my events. Find out how on my website.
Dr. Lori... #YouArePriceless➖🙏💖😊
I have an antique diamond ring which I believe must be Georgian. I don't know how to get its value? It was my grandmother's ring.
I can help review and identify your grandmother's ring. Can you send me photos? Bring it to one of my events? Show me during a FaceTime or Skype call?
@@DrLoriV oh that's great. How can I send you the photos?

Oooo How much was the (Japanese?) doll worth? Thanks!

@@wendyannh I can review your doll if you like :)
She is too funny but she knows her stuff...
i love watching your videos~ and i know this is off-topic, but if a jeweler lied and told you that a diamond wasn't real, only to find out later he lied and the diamond was approx 2-3 carats diamond in a nugget ring? i seriously want his thieving @ss and need help, would you be so kind in pointing me in a direction, or am i just screwed?;
I’m an Appraiser. You may want to talk to a lawyer for advice.
@@DrLoriV hi thank you for the response, I don't think it would work since he already has possession and for quite some time. I hate thrives and the fAct they can do something like this with no remorse while knowing the importance and need of other party, a conscious decision. thank you
@@SoBelle Sorry I couldn't help, but sharing your story might help someone from not going through what you have :)
What about McDonald’s toys worth anything
Many factors affect value. I can appraise your pieces. Send me Photos. Use the form on my website.

Does Dr Lori EAT those antiques????
I stick to French Fries and Sweets :)
Really? Able Adelaide- How f-ing RUDE! I pray that the Good Lord should humble you one day with some kinda life lesson- you obviously are completely without a conscious awareness that words have power & you must also be completely void of empathy & compassion as well- thankful that My God blessed me with the consciousness to know better- I’ll pray that you are gifted with some kinda (life-altering) experience causing more thot & consideration & less superficial verbal assaults on others.. when saying nothing at all actually would have been no effort, u chose to make the effort to be an asshole- guess no one gave you a lesson on the golden rule- maybe you will get it one day, I can only pray-
Dr. Lori -you are beyond awesome & I’ve learned so much & enjoy your humor & really enjoy the honest education you provide us ALL- ty for all you have sacrificed & all your time invested! You are 💯 authentic & rare yourself in this world today- ty again!
Thank you for your support.
This woman is teaching us so much. She is brilliant. Your inner nasty got loose; you should go work on yourself and leave her alone.
Love u dr lori
Love u!
Im trying to identify a pattern on a 14k keepsake wedding band that was bought used in the early 1970s. It was a his and her set and the mens one was sold. It said "LOVE MARIA" on the inside. The one I have is the woman's and says "LOVE JERRY" in it. Is there anyway you can tell me what the design is called on it? So i can find the other one if it still exists out there. It is a cigar width band I think. The pattern is little circles with a quilted like pattern. I can not find anything remotely like it searching for over a year through google and bing. However I found a picture of just so happens a mens matching one. Found it on bing search after hours of clicking. However when I click on it, it takes me to an ebay page to choose a category. I can not figure out why I can see the photo but then it takes me to a search page on ebay. Like its a cruel joke. Does not say the item has been removed or anything else. Just where you choose a category to search. I have tried searching for the ring on the ebay search but its not on there. So why does this photo that says ebay exist???
