Family lore has been passed down ... WW2 my aunt and husband walked into a junk store in Palm Beach and bought a "Rhinestone" pendant! It was not rhinestones at all but a piece made for the czar of Russia and stolen by the Bolchevicks when the family was murdered! Her husband opened the Lincoln and Cadillac dealership in Palm Beach from that "diamond" pendant!!!😊
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of these lovely pieces of jewelry. My husband says I am a Magpie because I enjoy pieces that sparkle. My unprofessional advice for anyone going through garage sales and thrift store pieces for themselves is to buy what appeals to you - I have several pieces, probably not worth much at all, but I adore them, so they bring joy to me which is priceless. If you are looking for pieces to resell, then quality is paramount. Thanks again! Pat from FL
Wonderful! Your are welcome. Glad to have you here Cousin!
My kind of person. Making memories too is more important than money.
My husband thinks I am part raccoon. I love shinny💖.
You're jewelry you bought from me is still in the brown cabinet on my front porch at 820 N 13th whenever you decide to come get it. Thank you again.

The rectangle shape stones are called baguettes. In real diamonds they tend to be more expensive because it is harder to hide the flaws when they are cut this way. Thanks for the video!
I happened to come across your video by chance.
I inherited a collection of my Grandmother's brooches in 1977. She passed away at age 94...she had them for many years. I always knew they were valuable but also knew I would never sell them because I love them all. I can still picture her wearing some of them when I was a little girl. I keep them all together in a lovely frame inside of a China cabinet. ❤
My sister in law was gifted with her grammas pins. She put them on a pillow to display them
I wish I could see your grandmothers collection. I happened to come across this video as well. My grandmother loved jewelry. Costume and fine jewelry too. She gave me a beautiful necklace with imitation pearls. It broke and what did I do? I threw it away. I wish I was smarter and had it fixed. The mistakes I somehow made when I was young.
I bought a junk jewelry bag of bangles for $5. Two of them were 22K Indian gold bracelets, full of real diamonds, sapphires, ruby's, & peridot. I saved the stones, & scraped the bracelets for $900 & $750. I plan on making a huge nice custom ring, from the stones.
My grandmother had beautiful costume jewelry
This video brought back great memories of my grandmother. She always wore her fancy brooches when going somewhere special. Thank you so much.
They are little pieces of art work. I love them all.
You made a great jewelry finds. Your riveted pin backs are generally late 1950s/early 1960s. The metallic backed stones are termed "foil backed" stones. The irridescent finish is known as "aurora borealis" and may sometimes be dated to the 1960s if the finish is blue tinged, later if rainbow tinged. The bright shiny white chrome finishes are often rhodium plate (Eisenberg pieces are known for rhodium plate). Austian crystals are the gold standard for faux gems, especially in vintage costume jewelry. Czechoslovakia is another important manufacturing center for rhinestones and beads.
Darkened or cloudy rhinestones are often signs of water that has gotten into the setting under the stone. Costume rhinestone jewelry should never be worn on rainy days.
Your Weiss broach is fabulous. If I was your mom, I would be first in line for that beauty. ❤️
So, I've been an antiquarian for 45 years. Also having the opening it helps the stones to breath. You are correct as well . Just because a piece isn't stamped doesn't mean it's not a great quality piece. My father and my uncle still are jewelers. Always check with a professional if you aren't sure your piece is high quality. My uncle buys a whole lot of estate jewlery. So do I.
Also, the glue back in the day they use a lot of glue. Doesn't mean it's not a good stone or piece epithet The yellowing is sometimes age from the stores or the piece. The glue back that wasn't clear as well so it yellowed.
Weiss ,Trifari just to say a few are amazing pieces. just giving my little input
Thnx for the tip regarding water and costume jewelry.
I LOVR Weiss anything just ,bout

I have a brooch with clip on earrings that my dad bought for my mom while he was in boot camp in Texas . WW2 era .
I never see gorgeous pins like these! They are just gorgeous , costume or not! I’m going to wear pins again!
When I lived in NYC in the 1980's I first ran across 'the costume jewelry ladies'. After a Park Ave. estate had been picked over by Sothebys or such they descended on the 'non-precious'. The one thing I learned is that the rich people had the really good name costume jewelry, designer pieces etc.
Mom always said I looked at the price to make sure something was expensive to decide if I liked it or not. I didn't! But for some reason, my eye always went to the most expensive item.
I sat and watched this whole video because my eye went directly to the Penning and I wanted to see what you said about it.
Surprise! It was the most expensive one you mentioned. I assure everyone, including Mom, I did not know the price AGAIN. LOL
Hah! I waited for the Penning too! I have seen that piece once or twice before, loved it, and wanted to know more. Good taste you have!
I love the Penning brooch.
I learned so much from this video, and all the comments--Thank you!
I have all of my mother and most of my grandmother's jewelry. (I was the only girl! Tho my cousin got her ring! 😔)
I love having them and would never sell them. Their value doesn't matter much either, just what I like and enjoy wearing! I have always especially enjoyed the deco pieces and the 1950's and 60's pieces--they look great! Vintage is always in fashion, but we tend to bring back certain time periods in fashion and costume jewelry always helps bring the outfit together.
And one day, I hope MY 3 girls will enjoy them!
Thanks again to all!
My beloved mom, now deceased, loved vintage jewelry and I have a few of her pieces. I've always been curious about how this jewelry is valued. I found this quite interesting. Thanks.💖
Yes, it's 'WEISS'. U pronounced it perfectly 😉
That penning was a feather. Gorgeous.
Another great way to date brooches is the part the end of the pin goes into.Newer pins have the safety enclosure and older pins are just a C
Just found your channel today. Appreciate your attention to the details of a piece so that we can better understand what to look for and know what we are finding. Thank you.
Rusty, FYI: Sarah Coventry jewelry was sold at home parties like Tupperware. We were all proud of our reasonably priced, very nice, jewelry
I also attended 5th Avenue. Looked like high end jewelry and I loved it with my bright shoulder pad suits. The 80’s and I still have them
@@tamarabrown-beaulac1937 rr
Sarah Coventry sells for pretty good prices. Most of the pieces I've seen were beautifully modern. And they made really good use of stainless steel!
Sold many pieces back in the day ♥️
This was so interesting. I have collected pins and brooches over the years, some fine jewelry, most costume jewelry. I always just bought what I liked, but now I will want to go through my collection and inspect more thoroughly. Maybe I’ll find a treasure. 😊 I enjoyed this video!
Thanks Cousin!
@@RustyTheReseller I have Many Pieces of Old Costume Jewelry. Where can I possibly sell some? Can you tell me? Thanks alot.😊
Can I have your email? Just thought I'd ask. 😮😊
Very Nice!!! I know that a Marking is usually a good indication of "BETTER QUALITY," but had forgotten about the "OPEN BACK". Thank-You for helping us to further our education on what makes a "QUALITY PIECE!"
I know nothing about assessing jewelry but I have a fairly large bag to go through that belonged to my MIL who was well off and traveled a lot. This video was helpful. I’m sure I’ll need to watch many more too.
I LOVE videos, books etc that I can learn from. I have never come across anything explaining costume jewellery before and was in awe of what you were telling us. I will definitely be viewing more of you videos. Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge.
You are so welcome!

Thank you for the info.. I've collected jewelry for about 40 years.. I don't usually spend a lot, but I know what I like... I have a couple of 1950s jewelry boxes that I keep them in.. again, thank you..
Sarah Coventry was sold by the Avon brand in the 1970's, we bought quite a few of the brooches for sale from Avon, there are collectors of SC in the UK.
I didn't know Avon sold Sara Coventry. Sara Coventry had their own company & Book parties!
Sarah oventry and Avon were both direct sellers (home parties) but not part of the same corporation.
Great info, beautiful pieces. I’ve been collecting rhinestone brooches for over 30 years…back when you could get them for $5-$10 each! The period/canary piece looks to be an unsigned Sherman from the 50’s-60’s. Sherman was a Canadian designer from Montreal whose pieces now command anywhere from $75 to $300 for a complete set.
I realized when watching you video that the brooch you mentioned may be Pennino .. check closely
And the G may be an O. Just thought I would mention that🙏thanks for the tips on what to look for costume jewelry..have some cool vintage costume brooches and earrings that my mom gave me that I will look into.
Taught me more in 5 minutes than all the women in my life...mom, sisters, aunt's, girlfriends....ect.... thank you, I have a collection
Thank you so much!!. I have a few pieces that were given to me by 80 something year old friends, I am going to see what I actually have, other than very beautiful sentimental pieces. 🙏🏼
This caught my eye, as my kiddo actually likes broaches and pins.
I've worked in jewelery supply stores a few years, and have been making jewelry for over 30 years (mostly putting components together, not soldering or metal making (yet)). Rhinestones often have foil backing. With that said, some rhinestones are more valuable than others.
I am from a family of Antique dealers, Going to offer my feedback.
I have many Rhinestone pieces that are made of "glass" and is open on the back so not necessarily. Some of those are made in China they makes alot of very misleading pieces because many are made nice and beautiful "looking". They say crystal but are coated glass.
Those gold tone without makers mark are probably antique costume from the 50's, the metal will be softer and not so shiny, open backs with the rivets, the parts spin on the back, ya those are worth quite a bit more, alot of those have been used in crafts and not a great amount of them out there anymore in nice quality, those are the ones you want just short of not having a makers mark.
Sarah Cov. actually brings quite a bit now days.
Silver rose cluster is another China piece.
Black under stones is from water getting under the stones, also a sign of age. Usually If its from Austria, its very desirable and probably worth at least 45 with crystal stones. 65+ with nice clear ones or authentic Aurora colors, blue being most desirable in the Aurora Borealis, purple is rarest.
Also look at how the pin is attached, that globby soldering is low quality. You want the rivited spinning pins some with the "v" mount..
The blue daisy pin, the nice one, is one of your best pieces. The last gold filled is a nice piece
Most people will buy what appeals to them first then look at quality. :)
Excellent Info. Cousin! Keep it coming!!
@@RustyTheReseller I figure pass the correct info on, so many dont know this stuff, its a dying art, but you seem to have a fair grasp on it. But just like turquoise, 94% of what is saturated the market is not authentic, sometimes you can tell by the silverwork but a signature doesnt mean worth, you need to know your artists, the newer native american posts use turquoise from again, China and Burma. You really gotta know your stones
Thank you. I have costume jewelry which is gorgeous. Women were so beautiful and always dressed, especially when going out.
My great Aunt always had beautiful pieces of costume jewelry. When she passed, i was gifted most of it. A lot of it I continued to wear until i retired. I would like to sell a couple pieces. Your vid is really helpful. And I subscribed. TY
I think it was the Swarovski company that first coated the backs of their crystal pendants and Cabochons with a reflective silver finish so their pieces would have extra shine. I know that they invented the AB finish, which stands for Aurora Borealis.
Thanks I never new what AN stood for.
9:25 I love that brooch.
My grandmother's family were Weiss, from Germany. Over past generations, it ended up being spelled Weis, then Wise.
Oh my goodness! My great grandmother had a brooch like #2, except in pink stones! I have it tucked away 💗
Your videos are so helpful and informative.
Thank you, and especially for the quality of the close-ups! This is so useful!
I don’t have any knowledge of costume jewellery and their value but a very good Gemologist. I did found a necklace thinking it was of no value. After they looked at it, it was a platinum. I didn’t ask what’s the value of it but I did gave it to my daughter in law. I don’t take chance of wearing it, people like to snatched things of your neck. This was a very educational video, thank you so much.
Very interesting but I’d like to know how much you would resell each piece by.
Great video!
A couple of things to add.
First, don’t turn that loose backing that you said was done that way intentionally. No, it wasn’t. It has just come loose, and if you keep twisting it, it’s going to break. There *is* such a thing as motion jewelry, but that will have moving pieces on the front, like drops ooff the main body that move and catch the light, or more commonly, the term is applied to things like bicycle charms whose wheels turns or some other amusing moving part.
That brooch is also a very symmetrical piece, so there would be no reason to turn it; it’s going to look the same no matter what, although one could certainly wear it with the flatter side up, or the pointier one. That slight shift is easily accomplished just by a small shift in the angle at which one affixes the piece to the clothing.
This is in clear contrast to that marvelous crescent-shaped piece with the brown stones, which really would look quite different depending on which way it was affixed. That one would look great in almost any direction. The pin placement will normally be nearer the intended top of the brooch if it’s not in the center, but it could also be vertical. In this case, I don’t believe that’s the intended orientation because it looks like it might hang funny if so, possibly flapping around and pulling on the clothing, but you’re in a better position to see if that’s the case or not.
Clasps are really important in determining dates and sometimes even the country of manufacture, because different styles were used at different periods. I have not yet learned one from the other, but there are some great books and websites that explain it well.
I thought the same, such a symmetrical brooch would not need a spinning top, and it was clearly the classical riveted 50s-ish V back. So no spinning...
I am partial to enamel flower brooches, but now I better understand about the others. Thanks!
Those sound great
Absolutely love your channel!!! ❤❤❤
That butterfly pendant was just lovely! I can see girls & women of all ages wearing that piece.
Thanks to both of you!
Thanks for posting this video. I learned some things from it very helpful!
Some costume jewelry is just beautiful! I really liked the red and pink butterfly pendant. So glad that this video was constantly in focus!! Never a blurry moment - awesome. Interesting and informative video. Thanks for your time!
In most cases, to figure out what side is up in brooches (or how they are worn on your clothing), you go by the pin on the back. Make sure the pin is horizontal, with the closure end of the pin on the right if you are looking at the front of the brooch.
I know this now
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! The one brooch, near the end, leaf shaped. I believe it’s made by Pennino, not Penning. It is a gorgeous piece.
Appreciate you sharing your expertise in costume brooches.
Thank you Cuz for sharing the finer points in custome jewelry! I’ll have to start looking on the backs for details 🤩
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!
I love looking at customer jewelry pieces, when I was a child I used to collect different color glass and tried to make rings for them, the blue flower is beautiful I bought so many jewelry jars from goodwill but after a while I just ended giving them away, I’ve now started to buy jewelry online but it’s not the same, again thanks for sharing your collections.
Very informative, lovely pieces. Thank you!
Wow great pickups. I’m feeling motivated to go antiquing ❤
Thank you for your generosity!
So much info, interesting, thank you!!
So glad I found you! So interesting and informative!
This was soooo fun! Thank you!
Great video! I have so much of this type of jewelry. Inherited from mom and grandma and more… Thank you so much! I learned a lot. ❤😊
Hello from Germany 🙂... I am new here ... at minute 13.40 you say it is "Made in Austria" ..... The stones can be Rock Crystals !! -- and they darken with the time 🙂 The back of the broach is closed because they don`t shine by themselves ( sorry for my german-english )
Maybe you have a gem-tester ... I`m watching here for the first time .
Your German-English is great!
You did very well.
Your English is better than my German.
Love costume jewelry and learning about it❤
This was SO informative!
Thank you for sharing these tips and showing these pretty pieces of jewelry, great tips
They're all so beautiful

Love pins and brooches for jackets, sweaters necklines turbans. Just love them from my mom.
Thanks great video
Beautiful brooches!
So glad I came across you channel from Mississippi !
Thanks for the help with identity of costume jewelry
Right to the point-thanks!
I've j7st subscribed. I find your voice soothing and your lessons very easy to follow. So far you are the best I've heard.
Brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I collect vintage/costume brooches (I have hundreds) so I will apply what I've learned here when I look through them. Thanks, Sharlee
Thank you for showing these beautiful brochures. I may learn some things from you that I didn't know about Jewelry, I love Jewelry , I always have . Thank you.❤
I really appreciate you going through all the pieces. I love broaches, but I've never known what to look for as far as quality. I don't even want several, maybe 1 or 2. Now, if I come across one that I really like I will know just a bit more to consider if I want to spend my hard earned money. Thank you.
I love brooches. Buy what you like, and are willing to pay for, and wear it. 😉
I felt that I felt your video was really interesting and I also felt as the people that commented on it were very nice and very smart they actually intrigued me by their comments thank you everyone for everything have fun that always❤
If moisture gets into the foil at the back of a rhinestone, it'll tarnish which, in turn, will make it black.
Can I do anything to fix this.
It’s called a dead stone. It would need to be replaced.
That means somebody went dancing and had a good time in what was inexpensive fun stuff. It wasn’t intended to last this long.
❤
Thank you! Rewatched the video
You're killing me not wearing gloves when you handle these pieces. Lol. Thank for sharing this video. Lovely pieces. ❤

I have a jewelry box full of costume jewelry from 50s 60s from my mother. If you find Dior costume jewelry from Germany pick it up. It can be repaired and sold for a lot more than you paid for it.
Good session. Thanks.❤
Fascinating!
