Wow wow wow 😮. Those Trifari lava stone earrings. What a score for $4 and in mint condition. Those are the things I love to find. Damn, now you have me wanting to invest in a good digital camera or GoPro and start making find videos myself. So much fun! You are amping me up
Thanks Rex!!!!! The lava rock earrings are a great buy. A pair on eBay for 395.... not worth that... other "experts " would use that to upsell them as "important".. not on my channel! Lol. I will list at a fraction of that!!!! 🤣🌈❤️
@@jasonadams8633 I go every single day to local thrifts, but not antique stores or malls. Maybe I need to start. I live next to D.C., so there is lots of jewelry, but a lot of competing jewelry resellers. I get lucky sometimes, but not often just because of all the competition.
@rexdv8 I always say.... just do what you can.... I have widened my daily searches online too.. with great success....it's tricky if u can't touch the stuff but I'm never afraid to request additional pictures 🌈♥️😁
Wonderful show and tell! I really loved that first wide bracelet, and the purple “crystal” ring, oh my!!. I appreciate how you describe things. I almost feel like l am holding the pieces myself. I’m here for your wonderfulness and the jewelry, but I have to mention how great your nails look in this video. 😍
I love the fact that you KNOW what you are talking about and I trust your information Jason! That pin with the rubies was so gorgeous! And I loved the ring with the “crystal” stone. Can’t wait to find out what kind it is!
As referennce to the mikimoto brooch, love it.....i wear a pearl ring everyday because my grandmother loved pearls...she use to say " everyone is a pearl, you have to start with beauty on the inside to grow beauty on your outside for those to see" just like the formation of a pearl......thankyou jaso for including my fav gemstone pearl!!!!!!! Gerald from Georgia
Hello my dear friend Jason. Absolutely love the artisan .925 14kt gold and crystal ? Ring. Im so curious to find if it truly is a crystal. I love how highly you speak of Tanya. You are a great friend and promoter of her channel. We all love Tanya at my jewelry addiction big hugs to you and Jeremy.
Ever since you said that diamonds fluoresce, I'm putting black light on all my jewelry! Now I want to have a black light party where everyone is required to wear jewelry, because more than diamonds fluoresce! LOL!!!
Hi Jason, you nailed the bracelet 3in it's stunning. Also love the diamond bracelet in Sterling silver. I have my mother's broach from 1960 it's similar to your pearl and silver broach. I will take your advice on cleaning the pearls as they are in similar condition to the condition yours were in. ❤ from Queensland
Having set hundreds of rhinestones myself, I know how challenging it can be to get them just right when they are this little! Will have to watch the rest later, real life demands my attention just now, so sending love and light ❤️
I have been collecting since I was 10 by now when I buy something I throw it in those travel cases from the 50s and 60s I have you to Thank and I am sure I am not the only one that feels this way, that I have found my inner jewelry essence once again The beauty in a piece the quality the colors OMG I am back and I have u to thank I have found the beauty in collecting and the pieces again Thank You Thank You Thank You!! Come to New York and we can shop!
The amethyst was my favorite as I always love the perfectly imperfect imperfections. The gold and silver ring with the “crystal” is so beautiful and unique. As a member of the Jason Adams mutual appreciation society I love you more each time, you give me life ❤❤❤
The way that one ring with so many marks and they missed all that, really surprises me , my favorite the diamond bracelet, very nice stones in that ❤ Much Love 🥰
@@jasonadams8633 yeah, it’s super cute 🥰 My rings are usually between 3.5 and 6, so I’m super happy when I come across smaller sizes, since resizing gets pricey (we’ll, at my local jewellers at least).
Hi dearest Jason! This is absolutely stunningly gorgeous; not the stuff, but your process of identifying, preparing, describing and just generally appreciating the heck out of all of it! I could listen to you for hours and hours. ❤❤❤ I always reply back like a crazy person here, "I absolutely love you, too!"
@@jasonadams8633 Oh, the moment he walks in that door, I am going to knock him right over with that hug! Haha! Hug Jeremy, too! Did I mention, Peridot is both of their birthstone??? I knew Jeremy reminded me of Kenly if that adorable video you did together!!!
... "and then we're going to call it quits for the day, even though I know you want me to stay..." 😂😂😂 You are absolutely correct!!! Adore you, Jason! Can't get enough! 🥰🥰🥰
I love watching your videos I always take something away thank you. I wish I could find such beauties here in Australia. I was lucky though to go to a church op shop you guys call them thrift shops. And bought some beautiful old gold jewellery one brooch from the early 1900,s I believe solid gold with a beautiful dark sapphire. I feel someone was definitely looking over me that day I had never been there before I just went there as I was in the area. Anyway thank you for doing what you do and for being your authentic self ❤
What an eye you have so many interesting things Again at the risk of repeating myself Just because someone says they're an expert doesnt mean you are one
Your awesome! You still make me laugh❤! There's never enough time in the day for the Mr. Adams!! Your enthusiasm is over the top🎉! Your just a great person! Thanks for being you😊!!
Those were some really good finds. I loved the tulip wrap bracelet. Thanks for telling us your little secrets and as always for showing us your little treasures! Love you Jason! You too Jeremy! Hugs! 💞🫂
So I looked up the designer of the "crystal" ring. You have a Tomasz Plodowski made ring. He's a modern designer and commands hefty beefy prices on his jewellery!!! Your ring is probably amethyst as there are other examples he has with his rings using the same large "crystal" 😂 amethysts in a tension style mounting. Score and home run!!!❤❤
Wow wow wow! I get so giddy when I find something of value that got over looked or just thrown at the bottom of a basket! Those are some awesome items! Always can't wait for your next one!
Always love watching your videos and seeing all the beautiful treasures you find out thrifting!!! Wow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Jason. ❤😊❤
That bracelet is so gorgeous. I love your rings, Jason. Actually both of them are. I wish I would have found you sooner. My sister-in-law passed away and she had over a million dollars worth of fine jewelry and so much costume jewelry. They auctioned it all off. I don’t think the guy knew what he was doing. I love that ring. Let me know if you sell it.
Your fire agate ring is incredible!!!! I watched the video all the way through and then went back and paused it just to enjoy it! Gorgeous! And your amazing finds - so many beauties!!!!
😎 Hellooo Jason, I am loving your personal agate ring, I remember seeing you wearing it before, and boy do you have some awesome dance moves, I enjoyed the glance of your handsome smiling face ❤ I just love each n every piece that you find 🥰 Hello to Jeremy 🌟
Hey Jason, thanks for yet another great video. I am learning so much from you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. On another note, Tanya set my order to someone else by mistake and sent me an email and was so upset and nervous. I told her, girl don't stress out. I said you're my favorite UA-camr after Jason! LOL Everything ended up working out great and she and I had a wonderful telephone conversation. She is a beautiful person with a beautiful soul.
Lisa... Tanya is a nut. Lol. Thank you for your kindess with the mix up....also thank you for being here . Thank you for the beautiful comment and support 💙🙏💙🙏💙
OMG that last ring! Wow!!!! Stunning! Thank you for the information I learned today about the markings of gold and florescent light for diamonds. Also I like you show the prices. That gives me and idea about how much to pay and maybe someday to sale. For now I just love my collection!🙏💫
7:50 thank you for being so generous with your knowledge ❤because of this video I spotted an unmarked "costume pearl brooch" for $5 at an antique mall. thanks to you I recognized the 2 mikimoto marks on it and bought it! ❤❤❤❤
I agree with you, Tanya is really amazing. Her creations show a very big talent! She is how I found you! Have a great day❤❤❤ Wishing a great profit at your show.
Your charisma, warmth, and ease and fluidity of joyfully sharing your knowledge has won over this straight, millenial, bro who watches more videos about MMA and combat sports than anything else on UA-cam. I'm not your normal demographic viewer, but I'm totally a fan! It's just pleasurable to hang out and enjoy the show and tell!
❤❤ LOVE the last two that you just pulled out of the bag!! I had already picked out my favourites, then out they came. The ring is fabulous! Great video.
Great tips Jason ❤ Yes we have to stay focused because what you found is extraordinary ❤ All your finds are superb gorgeousness❤ Your rings you made are amazing ❤
What a fabulous diamond bracelet! Thank you for telling us where you shop. It adds to your obvious integrity. I'm not in your state but it's interesting. Where's your Mom? Hope she's doing well. You're very lucky.

@@jasonadams8633 yeah, it’s super cute 🥰 My rings are usually between 3.5 and 6, so I’m super happy when I come across smaller sizes, since resizing gets pricey (we’ll, at my local jewellers at least).
