Back in the late 70s, I used to buy huge apple sized boxes of jewelry from a guy who only sourced the lot for gold and sold me the huge boxes full for $20. He got the jewelry in large bags from second-hand stores. I found Eisenberg, Trifari, Miriam Haskell, Coro, and much more such as long strands of faceted crystal beads, some of precious stones. I hate to say I chopped some up for crafts before I found out what I had. Luckily, I learned quickly. I ended up selling most of the more expensive brooches, not for what they were truly worth, but for a good amount. Oh, what I wouldn't give for one of those fabulous boxes today! Thank you for this and all of your videos. What memories!
Thank you so much. 💖 I appreciate content creators who are also sellers that take their precious time to research and make videos like this for us to learn together. I'm not a reseller, I just love collecting beautiful jewellery for now. It is great that everyone shares their knowledge, I love reading the positive comments. I live in Germany now and go to second hand shops and flea markets. I can now look out for special pieces if I find them in the wild. Fingers crossed. 🤞I can't afford the ebay price tags. Lol. Take good care. Look forward to your next video.
Maison Gripoix is indeed a source that made the stones for the likes of Chanel. So many people over use this term. Actual Gripoix should only be used to refer to designers who used their stones.
Hi! I believe gripoix (grip-wah) is a type of poured glass method for the glass components of the brooch. They are characterized by the smooth surface. I don't think that yellow piece is marked Gripoix...must be another maker. But I may be wrong.... Thanks for this video...I am always looking out for great brooches to flip but always hesitant of plunking down big money, especially if unmarked. A Shreiner piece is my holy grail!
Traditionally, spray brooches consist of intricate floral designs, often mounted in the En Tremblant style. Spray brooches most frequently consist of a range of small diamonds or coloured gemstones, which are crafted to catch the light and create a sublime sparkle.
I'm with you, Courtney, I LOVE vintage jewelry!!! This video was so much fun. I had some trouble trying to pronounce some of those key words, but ORCHID is a tropical plant that flowers & many people, including me, grow them in their home. Simply, OR-kid. Thanks!!!
Scottish connemara is usually the stone of choice, it's odd jade was used. But it can look like jade sometimes I wonder if it was correctly identified. For someone to sell for that price I would gather they know what they are doing. But it's unusual to see jade if it's a true Scottish piece.
When they say "book, magazine or catalog" means that it's an advertised piece which is usuallly reserved for the best pieces a designer uses to showcase their work.
Without any disrespect: Brooches are another topic that LOOKS easy ; but is another "needle in a haystack" . You really need a lot of education to make big scores. Lots of trial and error . ALWAYS hard to look up comps. Very confusing with UNSIGNED pieces . It's like you need a year in Brooch College to even get a grip.
10:26 I write on an index card in black Sharpie : "THIS STONE HAS A CRACK" with an arrow pointing to the damage - LARGE . I WANT NO CONFUSION . LOL Also when you put "READ" in the title - that is an alarm that something is NOT perfect.
Thanks so much for the Shout out Courtney--in the 2 hour Let's Talk About It Video--I actually go into deatil on the difference between Crown Trifari and Trifari. The Angele Fish Brooch at 19:15 is worth more--Alfred Phiilleppe WAS THE DESIGNER OF MONEY for Trifari and that Angelfish Brooch is a Jelly Belly and had they put that into the title it probaby would have sold for more. HOBE is pronouced HO BAY I believe--well that's how I pronouce it--and that's all that matters to me---LOL 😉🤫😁😍👩🌾
In the case of the spray brooch, this means that the centre of the floral bouquet is attached to a small spring-like mechanism that allows the brooch to move slightly when worn.
8:30 “if it isn’t signed, it isn’t Trifari“ … there’s a lot of internet data out there spamming the idea of unsigned Trifari, but that isn’t true to the brand. They did make a series where they haa Pat. Pending on the jewelry and this brooch has that marking 😊 Possibly people say that they are unmarked to have their items sell whether intentionally misguiding or not.
The long pin is just part of aging a brooch, It is called a "C" clasp because it does not have the little lock to hold the pin secure, it is just an open hook or "C". Any time you see that type of closure it is old. Look up "C clasp"
Just read a great history of Trudeau in Dr. Lori’s newsletter. Trifari animal pins like the fish with the large stone in the center are called Jelly Belly and are highly collectible. Also, Trifari’s tag line used to be “if it’s not signed, it’s not Trifari. Also just a gentle fyi Pave is pronounced PA-VAY referring a type of cut and size of a stone, usually diamonds.
Pave' actually means "paved". As if the surface is paved with the stones. It's when the stones are set very close together, so close that you can't usually see the setting. You do have the pronunciation correct. I love pave' jewelry, so much sparkle!
Thanks Lisa you are absolutely right about pave being close set stones, but pave doesn’t mean paved, the literal translation in French means cobblestone. I sold fine jewelry for several years. To my discredit I didn’t do a very good job of explaining pave. Your definition was much better. Thanks for setting correcting me 🙏☺️
Enjoying watching & Power to you for doing what ya doing my sweetie ❤ You know how to use the computer crap etc (as I do not) & your English speaking is a-ok CHEERS TO U
C clips clasp are old antique vintage especially with longer pins. If you want to know all about dating a brooch google dating brooches by their clasp. It is very interesting.
For the past month, I’ve delved deep into unsigned pieces….. I’ve about decided to take all of the free e-books on the subject located in Internet Archives and combine one large database myself. Wish I could find all the catalogs of Judy Lee jewelry. All I’ve found so far are 1965 and 1968’s catalogs. Any guidance on where to find more info on that brand is greatly appreciated.
HOOT! Love this video...I am going to try and learn about these brooches! Amazing at what they sell for! =) I like the Hobe vintage filagree heart brooch set!
Attributed is a transitive verb that would explain or to regard as a characteristic of something else so very well might be key word spamming actually to say, "attributed to Trifari" Just my humble opinion lol.
Thanks for making me want to go sourcing and spending my scraped together bill paying money instead of listing and cleaning. I’m so tortured!!!! I want brooches!!! I want bolos!!! I want BINS!!!
How do you know a brand,not marked? Its called experience,for years. Not a 4month jewelry jar experience 2x a week! Serious,knowledge and interest usually,a seasoned buyer!
It is not so much the brand it is that it was Gripoix or poured glass. Gripoux is very popular and authentic Gripoix is difficult to find. It is usually only high end brands that are the only ones that are authentic.
Thanks Courtney for a great video! I have a ton of costume jewelry. In my opinion it all needs cleaning. Any suggestions on cleaning these items? Or are there reputable videos out there? I’ve ruined a lot of things trying to clean them, so don’t want to screw up. Silver is straight forward regarding how etc. But the costume gemstones are what I’m worried about ruining. Thanks again!!
Yes, I would also love to know. I have ruined a few pieces myself. I just picked up quite a few vintage and older clip on earings which were very dirty on the back. The person who owned them wore alot of base on their face. I had to clean them and disinfect them before I tried them on. I used a solution of dishwasing liquid and water. I dipped my jewellery cleaning toothbrush into the soapy water and gently brushed the earing. Then rinsed them. I was praying I didn't ruin the stones, etc. 🙏😂
Hey boo great video as always! Boucher is pronounced "boo shay" and Hobe' is "hoe bay" 😊. With French words, you don't pronounce the end of the word the way it's spelled. Thanks for all the great info! I've been waiting for a video from you all day. Not that I've got my Courtney fix, my day is complete. 😊
If ANY of those surprised you in the least then maybe you shouldn’t be selling vintage costume jewelry on EBay. NONE surprised me because I’ve sold gripoux (pronounced “grip oh), old 40’s Trifari, Hobe (pronounced “hobe a”), etc. myself. Scottish agate jewelry always sells well and the green jade is not typically found in this type of jewelry. I feel like saying “duh” here.
👍 this video was to help others and myself learn. You are welcome to make a video and put it out to help others. Sounds like you are very educated on the matter.
Orchid - Or kid Attributed to would mean unsigned and they found someone else call it trifari Bra, think about a california surfer saying bro "Brah" you are closer to brawl.
Ok, last comment I promise hahaha. YES you definitely have an accent on "bra" and "dog" that's hilarious. You say "brawl" and "dawg" hahaha people in your neck of the woods always pronounce it like that hahaha. Too funny.
Chanel pin kills me anything Chanel I will buy and resale went to a rich town recently and a lady's chanel scarf went into the lake this man almost drowned trying to get it out this tells you how crazy people are for chanel me that scarf would have been out to sea because I can't swim 😂😂😂😂

You chopped up 2000k brooch oh well you used it and enjoying it? Ha ha
@@Timetravel1111 That's why they are so valuable. Less and less survive.
Hobé is the right way to write the name and the little diacritic mark over the 'e' means you say it like an 'a' --- so it's HoBAY. Boucher is BooSHAY.
Thank you 😊 😊
Blows my mind how much unsigned pieces can sell for…incredible! 🦉🦉

Spray has to do with the flowers. A spray of flowers
I believe Grpoix is a technique used for producing the glass "stones", rather than a brand.

“Spray” refers to the swirling flourishes under and around the circular center. 😊 Thanks for doing all of this research, super informative! .

Now that I’m buying the stuff and getting it cheap I’m glad I stopped by And watched this video. Ty
Oh my word … time to look through my jewelry inventory again too see if I missed anything. Thanks. You’re a HOOT! 🥰
A Spray is a one sided floral arrangement. Juliana Jewelry is usually never marked but came with a hang tag. HOOT! Thanks Courtney!
'Violent Purple' - Good band name lol
BOOO SHAY---the crude is AGE -- oh boy I'm cracking myself up--what a pair we are
lol

Actually it helps me to learn ..because ur helping me pronounce but mist of all ur helping me remember..thank u ..
I adore Schreiner! This artist created so much color and texture in her pieces!
8:30 “if it isn’t signed, it isn’t Trifari“ … there’s a lot of internet data out there spamming the idea of unsigned Trifari, but that isn’t true to the brand. They did make a series where they haa Pat. Pending on the jewelry and this brooch has that marking 😊

I think they do make c clasp on the more modern brooches but there is a noticeable difference.
I believe it is Hob eh and Vermeil is Ver may. A SPRAY is a style of Floral Brooch popular in the 1940s.
Courtney, I always learn so much from your awesome channel!! Thanks :)
Thank you for putting together this presentation. Don't worry about the words, the more you practice the easier they will become.
Thank you
Thank you! Love to learn new things!
Hi! My favorite was the one that went for the most! You are a HOOT! 🦉❤
🦉There we’re so many brooches I’ve forgotten but the pink kitty made an impression and sticks in my mind. So, I shall say the kitty 😊 Cheers.
5:54 the violet purple butterfly brooch here is absolutely gorgeous
The crown above the T in the Trafari mark was used between 1937 to early 1970s. Earlier and later pieces did not have the crown.
Great video Courtney! Love the brooches!

HOOT! Love this video...I am going to try and learn about these brooches! Amazing at what they sell for! =) I like the Hobe vintage filagree heart brooch set!
Cana hon is pronounced cab-a-shon and are stones that have a smooth domed surface.
Spray is like a small bunch. Of leaves.
HI the orchid pin is 100% unsigned Schreiner, hope that helps!!!!!❤

Holy Molly!
We awl can't speek/sey it jest rite. 😂
Please don't let the dips get too you.
Many Blessings Courtney,

Spray means "floral design arrangement".
The back of the trifari looks like the crown of the brand. Even though not signed.
Super fun video!! I have tons of pre-owned jewelry and need to start researching. Thanks :)
Thank you, very nice.
Okay...take that back. Apparently there is a jewelry store in Paris called Gripoix! But it is a method as well...
Thanks for another great vid,Courtney!
Attributed is a transitive verb that would explain or to regard as a characteristic of something else so very well might be key word spamming actually to say, "attributed to Trifari" Just my humble opinion lol.

I love the way you miss pronounce words ! It's so cute 😍
This was a very informative video I really enjoyed it !
Your the best ! 😘
Great info. I just added more info to my existing knowledge. Thanks!!!
Thanks!
Your welcome. Thank you so much 😊
So true about background best on black or white, I try both
Gripoix isn’t the brand, it’s molded glass stone with a rounded top
I think spray means how the piece extends out in a spray
Thanks for making me want to go sourcing and spending my scraped together bill paying money instead of listing and cleaning. I’m so tortured!!!! I want brooches!!! I want bolos!!! I want BINS!!!
How do you know a brand,not marked? Its called experience,for years. Not a 4month jewelry jar experience 2x a week! Serious,knowledge and interest usually,a seasoned buyer!

These brooches were so awesome! HOOT
It is not so much the brand it is that it was Gripoix or poured glass. Gripoux is very popular and authentic Gripoix is difficult to find. It is usually only high end brands that are the only ones that are authentic.
The gripoix piece looks more like enamel than poured glass (gripoix)

Trifaris slogan is, "If it's not marked, it's not Trifari". But I believe some pieces before 1940 were not marked.
Hey boo great video as always! Boucher is pronounced "boo shay" and Hobe' is "hoe bay" 😊. With French words, you don't pronounce the end of the word the way it's spelled.
