Jewelry You May Not Know Has Value And How To Evaluate It.
The magnetic closure is generally added because the owner is having difficulty working the original clasp. Arthritis and/ or the loss of the partner who once helped clasp the necklace lead to magnetic retrofits for many jewelry pieces. I've done this for many women wishing to continue wearing their lifelong favorite necklaces and bracelets. Thank-you for your content!
I've found a lot of these style stamped 925 and Italy are fakes.
That is such a great idea... I'm having my 16 year old Grand Daughter with the hands of a magician; making tiny links for necklaces from scratch...amazes me... switch out all my necklace clasps. Thank goodness! I can wear ALL my goodies again. Thank you Karen🪘💃🏽🍨🌌🌘
@karenfries170 - You explained that BEAUTIFULLY!!!!
Rusty I enjoy your cider very much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and instructing us.
Yep. Magnet.
You are the best I have listened to by far. Rusty you actually teach, most shows the person talks too fast and spends a lot of wasted time by not being prepared or losing track of the subject and start talking about their mother coming over for lunch or some other needless subject. Thank You
Thanks for the kind words. We try to teach, but love to learn from others too. We appreciate you!
Hi Rusty, I have been buying jewelry at garage sales and thrift stores for my own enjoyment for 50 years. How FUNNNN!! The bracelet that isn't a complete circle is a cuff. I'm loving the knowledge of the pieces. Thank you, straight outa CALI!
Rusty, that was soooooo INTERESTING!!!! And yes, you really NEED TO EXPLORE YOUR ITEMS WHEN YOU GET THEM HOME!!!!!
Thank you so much for your lesson on all things old. I perked up when you talked about the watch. I have my great grandfather in law’s watch that I know is silver and heavily engraved, but have not looked any further, so here I go again, after watching you I realized I may have something valuable. You are awesome!!. ❤
Thanks for the hands on lesson! Another reason someone might add a magnet to a necklace is because the magnet makes it much easier to put the necklace on or take it off.
The Italy necklace has a magnetic closure
Closure was from QVC I have them bc my fingers can't manipulate the lobster claw clasp alone
So easy to put your necklace on if it's too small to pull over your head
Love them
The magnetic addition is especially for either older women or anyone that has a harder time hooking their necklaces
Just came across your videos yesterday , and have already watched several. I have lots of stuff from flea markets in Europe, boxes of old buttons and brooches, some of which I converted into new jewellery, and even used some in mosaics. Thanks so much for all the information, I intend to take time to study my stuff , think of the value, though I never thought of selling.
Ive been using my camera and enlarge to take pictures of marks that i can't see and it works great! Helps these old eyes.
Some phones also have a magnifying glass too. But not mine, that I can tell.😂
Thank you, you really taught me how to look at vintage jewelry differently👏👏👏💯🙆♀️
The extension on the silver necklace is for people who have trouble putting it on. With the magnetic peace makes it so easy to put on and off.😊😊
❤🎉😮Well I watch and paid close attention 2 three of your videos tonight. I actually learned a lot, because I would have given up looking for markings on things in antique shops and second-hand stores. However, I'm definitely going to pick me up a Jewelers loupe. I see that yours is eight times. Thank you for the teaching I will continue to watch you. I will be buying things to resell on the various platforms that we have to sell things on. By the way I live in northeastern Arizona. The community I live in has a lot of retired people and there are tons of estate sales that this kind of stuff can be picked up in. Again, thank you! I appreciate your teachings!❤🎉
You had so much information packed in there, but clearly, not wasting time. Great video, one of the best teaching I have seen.
The knot on the bracelet is an Irish Celtic design of which there are many variations. Celtic is pronounced as if the C was a K.
I have a pin similar to the one you found in the sewing kit. My mother told me it was a collar pin from the 1800s. which could give you a good indication of the age of the sewing kit too.
I just stumbled across your videos and have to tell you that it was so wonderful and so informative and I love all jewelry and I also am fascinated by just old things that you find from time to time. Keep them coming!
Thanks Cousin!
A question maybe to save for a future Q&A video: how do you identify the gemstones in your pieces... for example the difference between a topaz and aquamarine? Especially white stones like topaz, zircon, sapphire, etc.? "Asking for a friend." ;)
Hi!
I just found your channel; I’ve been selling jewelry and gemstones for 29 years; estate, new, designer, you name it.
I’m enjoying going ‘treasure hunting’ with you, as I often do myself.
I wanted to pass along that the magnetic clasp attached to the necklace, on its own (depending on metal weight) can sell anywhere from $40.00 to $90.00!
Also, in a previous video, you had a freshwater pearl bracelet.
Freshwater Pearl BRACELETS aren't individually knotted allowing full movement of the wrist without breaking the strand. One needs wiggle room on the wrist, but not the neck. I hope this was helpful.
Happy Hunting,
Michele
Thanks for the info!
Oh, your videos are addictive. Ive collected lots of old jewelry. im gonna get them all rounded up & check them out! Thank You! I can see that i have a good eye, just by your information.
Just went through family estate and I appreciate the information you provided! Thank you
No problem. Hope our stuff helps!
Possibly the best thing about selling vintage items is that the reseller doesn't have to worry quite so much about something being in style or out, especially with jewelry. Items may be in our out as far as their popularity (like anything that is sold originally as "collectible," usually isn't.) But not so much here. I've even sold goods to TV studios to use as background set pieces like vases or cups. You just never know!
😮😊WOW, How did you find out you could Sell that stuff to TV Stations/Studios ? That's awesome.
But why isn't Collectibles Really Originals? Isn't that what you said? Thanks 😊
The magnet inserted on the chain is for ease of fastening.
The movement of the watch looks like it has been made in the 18th century, and later re-cased in a more modern case. If so, you had a really *great* pick.
Glad I found you, great videos!
I added those magnets to necklaces because arthritis in hands make it impossible to work those tiny lobster clasps. Nice info, thanks.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. That watch is cool. Those old watches used jewels for pivots. I have never seen ones that large previously. Lots of cool items.
Thank you for the jewellery knowledge.
My guess is they added the magnetic clasp because lobster clasps can be hard for some people to work.
Love your information
I think the topaz/ Amber brooch was repaired with a new clasp because the silver is shinny and the brooch has a semi copper or aged gold frame.
Also much older clasps have a little shorter pin.
Time Stamp 26:53 : CAP I know it doesn't mean Civil Air Patrol but that is the first thing that came to my mind. The organization means a lot to me. I was a member 20 years ago and the organization mean so very much to me.
On personal note what I like is things that I can wear and representations that correspond my outfit or feeling which is to me it’s elements nature or holidays so I like big shamrock brooches I like pins and brooches that have an element of nature trees stars and flowers 🌺 🌹 I do wear big pieces of jewelry and I like multi strand necklaces big bold ones I dress and basically a forties to 50 style most of the time.
Then I’d like Victorian things with the goddess so that necklace is really great and an art nouveau and Art Deco.
😂😂 You wanna buy some?
@@MDAllen some of what specifically por que
I have some Big Beautiful Pins, Some even have Earrings to Match. Seriously.😊
The Celtic knot cuff seems like the black oxidation is intentional. Be careful not to clean that off. It may be part of the design
My dad had a harmonica about 1/4 to 1/2 inches have it now he was musically gifted a my whole family n
Sorry for the mishap .... now I didn't Get any talent I'd like to send u a pic if u would like to see it ...the first time I saw u, u we= showin: brotches , I inherited they most of them are beautiful maybe I can send u some pics if u have time thank u so much
you can email us at slickwebmedia@gmail.com
That’s a silver or silver coating piece ,but the original was the claw and the magnetic clasp was added on because elderly women have a hard time opening those clasps.
Years ago, a lot of your silver looking jewelry is nickel silver.
The magnetic clasps are also added to make it easier to fasten.
The magnet was probably added to the necklace to make it easier to wear / remove. Magnet clasp probably not cased in silver.
Just landed on your channel. They use a engraving tool to etch the writing on the jewelry.
Ya think? 😊
Thank you for all the tips on jewelry, I do go thrifting and garage selling. I find lots of cool vintage jewels I do know to look for markings, though I didn't know , that it's always marked to be worth anything. I love all the pieces that you have, some are very unique, Thanks for sharing those with us. I'm a new Subscriber, I look forward to watching more videos😊
But Everything of value is Not always marked. That's on another video of his
I accidentally came across your site. Thank you for being so informative. I'll be back again and again!
I learned so much in one video! When I'm shopping in antique malls how much for a piece is too much for typical jewelry?
I have never seen emeralds in a watch wow red are rubies and blue are Sapphire that watch has to be worth a great deal for emeralds yo be in it too
The Necklace clasp extention is for those that find it difficult to use the hooks. The magnet make it easier to put it on.
Thanks for the information, it’s great 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Very interesting rusty glad I ran across this video learning more every day thank you sir
Glad you enjoyed it!
FYI the single earring with the amethyst, moonstone and citrine: that style is commonly known as "Bali silver'. Not sure if it is all produced in Bali or it is a style mimicking an indigenous style. Typically used is large amounts of 'granulation' or the tiny balls of silver and geometric patterns.
That little pin you found in the sewing kit is a pin to hold you bra and slip straps together. I have a great little collection of the generally 10 or 12 karat gold or gold filled. Thanks for the video.
your intro is entertaining and your video is informative,, cool channel!
That litte pin that was in the sewing kit looks to be a small strap pin. Ladies would pin their bra and slip straps together inside their garments so they stayed hide from sight. I have some similar ones.
The flower brooch with the blue topaz has a mark on the pin bar, the camera caught it. Hmmm wonder what it says. Will you post your ebay name? I'd like to look at the watch. Thanks!
rustybargainwarehouse is our primary store.
The horseshoe brooch, grandma would say hold the opening upwards to catch the luck if you hold it downwards you pour out the luck, the flower seems like a forget me not
That's Supersticous.
I would still love a way to identify the stones in jewelry. I've tried google lens and compared the pictures to pieces and it doesn't work. I bought a couple of pieces at a "garage" sale because i thought they were opals but that was never confirmed. I sold them for the silver and 14k gold by the weight for a huge profit but i still feel bad because i loved the stones!
I really enjoy your videos. I process alot of jewelry too. Love it. Question- do you test your sterling even if its marked to make sure its legit before selling? Same with gems? I have alot of both that I need to test first. Very nice jewelry hauls!
I know you prefer to leave silver pieces in an "as found" condition whenever possible. Could you speak some time to how you polish silver? I agree that I don't want to OVER-clean a silver piece and ruin the patina in the carved/sculpted areas. If you make the piece "100%" clean, then it loses the depth (the patina) in the carved areas. I prefer using a silver foam type product because it doesn't leave any residue in the cracks and crevices. Or if it's just a minor, touch-up type cleaning, I invest in what's called a "Sunshine Cloth" (I'm not sure if that's a brand name) that cleans off the surface tarnish without scratching the piece (a dry process - just rub the silver.) When the cloth gets completely black from all the tarnish, throw it away and get another one (don't wash them!)
That watch is unbelievable ❤!!!!!!
Enjoyed this very much. That watch is amazing. I wouldn't know all that opened up like that and the inside looked like it may have been gold. I certainly wouldn't have thought there would be gemstones.
Glad you enjoyed it
@Judy Bryant,
In old watches such as this they would be advertised as a (as in this case) "6 jewel" watch. Since this watch is very old I'm guessing there are 2 each, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. 😺
@@debracisneroshhp2827 yes you are right and they are real stones. I have watched Dr. Lori and she has talked about these watches.
Those stones are real. That's why those watches were/ are called ' jeweled' with a #, like 17 jewels,etc. That means there are 17 jewels. You have there sapphire ruby, and emerald. From the clarity of them they are good quality, Not treated,of course. You have a prize. I would contact a couple auction houses and let them have a go at auctioning it off. I would not be surprised if u got a couple thousands of dollars for it. Who knows how much exactly? A lot I think! And you can send a pic to Antique Roadshow, who will take your piece to auction for you. Also, Kovell Antiques gives ballpark appraisals when you send a picture.
Great advice .Thank you😊
Glad it was helpful!
Enjoying your channel! Thank you for all the info!! Beautiful pieces
Thanks for watching!
That woman broach looked to have an inscript. Under the pin
I was wondering if you were going to talk about the little scratch marks in the watch case. I have a watch case (only) that has them and I took a bunch of jewelry to a jeweler to look over - I asked him and he said it was from ppl working on it. Isn't that cool? I kept it - haven't sold that one.
Yes most pocket watches I have come across from the up to the 1920's all have marks made by those who worked on them. Very cool!
The brooch with the rose, looks like it may have been made from a penny.
Do you recommend cleaning all these items for a better resale value, or do you leave it as is? As I am a novice at this, and because I’m really particular about things, I would definitely clean/polish these items for a better presentation at resale value. I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Thank you for making this video.
I only clean certain jewelry items that I think will help them sell. most vintage or antique items including flatware I leave be because a lot of collectors want the patina to be intact.
Really appreciate you Rusty!
That's a nice silver 925 magnet clasp necklace
He has a good eye for jewelry, beauty pieces
The ink well is so cute
925 means sterling silver.
Just thought I'd let you know that the magnetic clasp is for ease of putting it on. I felt there weren't enough people that commented about that 😂
How do you source your pieces? I have been trying to find pieces but I have had no luck at my usual locations.
Great looking watch. Nice score!
Very informative, thank you !!
i do love old huge pocket watches from any era
Just found you and immediately subscribed. I bought a beautiful bronze brooch and I'm wondering if can have it coated with silver. Is that doable? 🤔
Wow great video. I learned a lot. Thank you, and Merry Christmas 🎄
Very great knowledge and treasure finds.
That earring with the blue green stone is a piece of handcrafted jewelry made by an Indian and that is a turquoise stone
Very informative vid. I want all the brooches.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I am so glad that I found you and you have educated me 😊
I'm so glad!
I have a small tote full of costume jewelry from the 1920 to 1960. Not sure what to do with all this.
Hey Rusty, Im going through some older pieces of Jewelry, Like Broches, And a few Sets of & Pins, and some odd pieces too. Some have Beautiful Gem Stones in them too. I dont know whats exactly Real or Fake. How can I tell which Stones are real?
Good tips Rusty 👍🏾
Thanks 👍
Great info! Thanks!
Thank you!
I have a C
Which is perfect
Are you sure those metals are copper and not bronze Copper is more of a pinkish color. Bronze was used extensively copper not so much.
A local thrift store sold me a set of nut trays, one large, 12 small, for 3.99. I can read silver marks, but this was too easy, it said sterling right on the back. They just sold for 269.00 on ebay. They also sold me a pickle castor frame for 3.99, silver plate, it sold the same week for 102.99. Another thing t me 1.99, the price of the tie.
I love how funny you are! I love it!!!! Youhave asubscriber for life!!!!
Did you know you can throw out the cigarettes and sell the paper packaging they came in. Collectible
I collect scissors, mostly small ones that look great in a shadow box.
Thank you so much.
Great info thankyou
I'll buy the stones in bulk off you. Some silver too. Rings bracelets .
YOUR AWESOME!!
I don’t think that was SB Company (SBCO) on that bracelet. It might have said S800? For 800 parts silver? 😊
Sharp pocket watch
Oh, I have a very imprtant question to ask you, I have a Necklace (That was called) Mother Of Pearl. It looks sorta like Indian Style, Just the way the Stones are, But its not called Indian. My Mother's Aunt gave it to My Mother yrs. Ago. Its Stones are sort of Shaped like Long Triangular shapes, From Small sizes going down towards Larger sizes (towards the middle) then back to smaller ones again. Very pretty. They feel kinda like Pearl Stones. She said that 'Al Capones' Brother bought it for her aunt, Or great Aunt I forgot which one. But I've had it about 50+ yrs now. Its Put Away, of corse. I was wondering if You Have Any Ideas about that? I also Think its on somekind of String, instead of Chain. Can you tell me AnyThing? I forgot the Colors exactly. Maybe some Orange, Some Black, & I dont know what else right now. 😮.😂 Thanks alot. 😊
Did you do anything to clean or condition leather items? If so what did you use?
Will you do a video on how to tell real gems,from imitations. like diamonds, rubbies,emeralds,etc.
real gold from goldtone,etc.
I know real sterling silver has the 925 mark
