    At 4:45, that piece of jewelry from India, that long piece goes across your face to your nose. Some women have their nose pierced just to wear this kind of jewelry, but now days they mostly just hook it onto their nose somehow. It is very common in India, and very beautiful with their black hair and head coverings.

      They can also go over the ear and on to the back of the ear to help offset the weight if the earring on the ear. If not, they go toward the back and pinned to the hair.

    The black 1950’s sterling earrings which you thought was not glass or crystal is most likely Bakelite instead. Bakelite was at the height of fashion in the 1950’s which makes them highly collectible and valuable.

    The 梅 Enamel pendant is not cherry blossom, it's Prunus mume, “梅” is asian plum or apricot. They blossom in late winter before the spring, so we regard them as Three Friends of Winter, stand for character of resilience.

    Hi The Indian jewelry piece that you picked at 4:40 is a ear-ring, if the other end had a hook then it would be hooked in the hair. If you google "jhumka earring with hair chain" you will see how it is worn. These are normally worn on special events, weddings, festivals, etc. But in this one, the chain just goes over the ear, the loop at the end goes behind the ear. "jhumka earring with ear chain" supports the weight of the earring so the ear holes dont get stressed.
    The jade necklace set at 07:00 is an Indian "chokar necklace". The slider rope instead of a metal chain is a very Indian jewelry design.
    The little star at 24:02 is used like a charm that young kids attach to the zipper of a bag.

    Sometimes, once in awhile you can fund some nice stuff in the thrift stores now. People used to donate really good stuff to the thrift stores but then the thrift stores started jacking up the prices a lot. Many people complain to me about the high prices at thrift stores now. People stopped donating and now give their stuff away for free to someone in need. They all say they would donate but the thrift stores turn around and jack up the prices. I can purchase brand new qood quality natural fiber clothing for close to the same price the thrift stores are charging for polyester and vinyl junk. The thrift stores quite often keep the good items and auction them off too.

    • @AliBorealis
      @AliBorealis  Рік тому +2

      The prices are getting a little out of hand! Especially the chain locations. There are still a few locally owned that have good prices for good stuff, like the old days. Thanks so much for watching my video! 💖

      @@AliBorealis I was told just the other day by one of the higher-ups in management at the Goodwill (upper management just happened to be visiting the store I was in that day) that they are really tired of resellers coming in and hoarding the nicer items so they had to jack the price up to help deter them. She said, unfortunately the every day person who is not reselling is paying the cost of that. They originally opened their stores so that every day people could come in and shop and that’s what they really want to get back to. That’s just what was explained to me when I was complaining about there hardly ever being anything good anymore on the shelves, and everything that is there is high priced and not worth the price they were asking. To be fair, before a lot of people started to resell I found many beautiful and highly valuable items at Goodwill which I will always cherish, so I sort of understand where they’re coming from. These days it’s a rarity to find anything like that if you aren’t a reseller. The flippers and resellers in our area are cutthroat and they come in five or six times a day as fresh cards come out. Some are even rude as they muscle in with lightening speed grabbing what they can. It is really kind of brutal. That’s in Southeastern Ontario. Oh, and the difference in money you were talking about at the first of your video is called an exchange rate, and it fluctuates all the time. Sometimes the rate is even, sometimes it’s higher and sometimes it’s lower. It’s been quite a bit lower on the Canadian side for a while now. Just FYI.

    I just discovered your channel. Amazing jewelry haul! I live in the Toronto area and regularly buy jewelry jars from my local SA. I love the treasure hunt. Just FYI, the earring at 32:33 marked Butler is from a company called Fifth Avenue Collection. The company was founded in Canada and their head office is based out of Moose Jaw, SK, but their collections are sold around the world. I find their pieces quite regularly. Their necklaces usually have a hang tag with the logo FAC, but bracelets and earrings are marked Butler (after the family that founded the company). They have been in operation for almost 30 years. Their sales model is similar to Avon or Sarah Coventry where they recruit representatives for home parties etc.
    Great channel, I look forward to learning more from you!

    My mom sold Sarah Coventry when I was in high school. Over the past 5 plus years I started collecting it as so much of it was found in my jewelry jars/bags. Internationally, SC designed and sold completely different pieces, with Canada having its own line. Only best selling pieces of SC/USA were sold internationally. I have all 3 books on SC and one on Emmons. It was in the Emmons book that I learned about their Canadian line of jewelry.
    Also, the first Indian earring you showed that had a string of beads on it with a loop- connects to a nose ring.

    My Grandmother once bought a watch from a thrift store in Roseburg, Or. turned out to be a 1933 18k white gold art deco watch with small diamonds & sapphires. It was beautiful and the movements inside, Behind the face had small rubies .. my dumb 18 year old arse took it to a jeweler so that I can wear every day.. he took everything out of the back of the face of the watch and put in a battery one and kept what was inside.

    There is a huge Indian population in Canada. I love their jewelry, it is not subtle but usually very ornate and well made. The nice thing is you can just google asian indian jewelry or wedding jewelry and get an idea of what it costs. You can look it up, but I seem to remember that if one earring had a really long chain or beaded chain on it, one end might have gone across the face to attach to a nose ring or stud, that part might be missing.
