    My kids and I really enjoy your channel. My twelve year old found a .925 sterling silver necklace for $3 at the thrift store on Saturday. She was so pleased with her find!

    I had a piece that was marked 925 , and was marked with the British silver mark and the mark for the Caribbean! It was an Olympic medal, I found for a quarter in a grab bag and sold for over a hundred !

    Dr. Lori I Love you. You preach jewelry fantastically I found a what look to be like a gold bracelet at a second hand store I took out my loop and looked inside no makers mark anywhere but then I looked on the class just like you just said in your video sure enough it said 585 which everybody knows is 14 carat I paid a whopping $5.95 for that item it weighs 5.9 G and I was awfully happy to pay that for it. I love hunting for jewelry.

    Excellent presentation! I have learned how difficult it is to locate some of this information, but so exciting when I find where it is hidden.

    Dr Lori and staff: this was a great information packed video. Lots of refresher info for me and a little new too! My oddest place to find the fineness mark of a piece was inside the bail! I had looked and looked for at least an hour. I knew that it was too nice of a locket to be costume: the pattern on the heart was engraved not stamped or molded in. So as a hail Mary I did a google search and by chance found one like it online. I looked at the photos and one showed the purity mark inside the bail, which is also where I found it on mine. That little locket was 18 K white gold. Im very glad I found that mark so that when I did sell it I could show the buyer the proof!
