    That heart brooch-the egg yolk looking piece inside the resin is a mustard seed. This is a piece of mustard seed jewelry, which is highly collectible.

    My 102 grandma passed away last Christmas. I inherited a bag full of vintage jewelry. Didn’t take a look before sending it to Goodwill. I did keep a 1930s Louis Vuitton trunk bag, 1950s Hermes, among others. I now believe that bag of costume jewelry was very valuable 😭

      Right, Lots of 50's I believe had a Mustard Seedin it. It's from a Bible Verse. "For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20-21).

  • @debbieday7583

    Love that mustard seed heart in a heart. That belonged to someone's grandmother. To that grandmother it meant faith in God as a mustard seed can move mountains. I would buy that in a NY minute.

    don't forget that Swarovski fancy stones are foil backed and and some are painted ( called delights) and Swarovski thinks a lot of their stones.

    • @craftinghome
      @craftinghome 2 місяці тому +3

      Exactly. I used to work in a costume jewelry factory in south Wales, UK. All set with Swarovski crystals which mostly had foiled backs, often including enamel, and plated with rhodium or gold. It was quite expensive for faux jewelry, and all pieces are marked on the back with A&S for Attwood and Sawyer.

    I am a jewelry maker. You found some lovely pieces. The Blue Rhinestone pin doesnt have any aurora borealis crystals in it. Aurora borealis will appear as a rainbow coating. Also the larger rectangular stones are not considered Baguettes. Just an FYI. Great work!

    The Heart amulet with the strange yellow object at the center of the smaller heart is a mustard seed! The old saying "if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains!"

    The first custom-made piece is easily distinguishable-it’s a mustard seed inside the small heart. 💖

    @Cannonejones 2 місяці тому +2

    That very first piece goes to show you how value and beauty really is in the eye of the beholder into all of us. Spiritually minded, faith, minded individuals, we know right away that is a mustard seed and we know right away. There is a huge market for those types of necklaces and jewelry pieces. I have one right now sitting right next to my bed that I wear, it is not made of any precious metal at all but that mustard seed is very precious to me!

    I don't know what's up with all of the comments freaking out about the mustard seed. 🙄 Anyway, I've watched videos of Dr Lori the antiques appraiser who tells you what to look for regarding vintage costume jewelry and your video blows her videos away. This is the best video I've seen on how to evaluate costume jewelry at first glance. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!

    I sell donated jewelry pieces for fund raising. I am interested in jewelry and make jewelry myself. I examined each piece to decide how much to ask for or should be sold on line. I fix broken pieces, mend loose beads, or restring necklaces. I learn a lot of researching brands, periods, and price range.

      I do the same thing for oncology and heart institutes. Glad to see there's another one out there doing the same as me! I love donating my peices for fundraising! It feels good to be able to contribute to something so important to my heart! For one thing, I'm not rich so I can't donate like the rich do. But I am artistic so I can definitely help in that department and still make a big difference! And that alone is so heartwarming & unforgettable. I've had people contact me and thank me for the help. I just wish more people would get involved and do the same in someway! A donation to a cause can come in so many ways!
