In the 50s and 60s, my mother and grandmother would take us to the cemetery occasionally and we'd have a picnic next to our relatives' graves. I always found it relaxing. We'd walk all over the cemetery looking at the old headstones. There were all sorts of heirloom roses and flowers growing wild.
Thanks for sharing your story!
Dr Lori is such a treasure.
@RealestRealist Happy to hear it!
Yes, she’s great! It’s sad her heart is going to blow out though. Ever see an obese older person? Me either. 😞
@@marcellajaynes5997 That's so rude! To answer your question, I have seen obese older people, they're my grandparents, my grandpa is 80 and my grandma is 77 and they may not be the healthiest- which most of their health problems isn't related to being obese- but they're still going strong!
@@marcellajaynes5997 open mouth insert foot... you really need to learn to think before you hit enter on your keyboard... while the internet might make you semi anonymous, karma is a bitch. My mother has been overweight her whole life, all 85 years of it. Now lets talk about your qualifications to go around determining other peoples health and what gives you the right to speak about anyone else's imperfections? Yours may not be a weight issue, but being a jerk is far and away a more negative issue to live with, and you are doing so in spades.
Best find and treasure I have been lucky to come across
Lol! “Yes! Let’s put your pearls in acid!” You crack me up Dr. Lori! I never realized how valuable costume jewelry could be until I started learning from your videos and website.
Once again, I should be cleaning the kitchen but instead im binge watching Dr. Lori LMAO
Doc, if antiques ever fall thru, you could also do stand up! You crack me up while teaching me stuff, love ya!!
Thanks! Have you noticed the title of my traveling show? Dr. Lori's Antiques Appraisal Comedy Show!
I used to collect vintage jewelry in the ‘80’s while in college, it was very affordable and I was enthusiastic. I had many, many signed pieces. I moved to the west coast, my home was burglarized and they took a pillow case off my bed to use for all my jewelry. Since then I’ve only purchased a few pieces, most unsigned. Interesting to come across this channel today.
Welcome Marcia. Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry to hear about your break-in. Unsigned pieces can be valuable too.
Oh that sucks u lost all ur treasures.
I bought a jar of costume jewelry at a goodwill store and I never seen these earrings with metal post it says 9.25 silver all one piece on them I wS wondering if these could be from the 40 or 50s year

Happy to help Tracey. I have more articles on my website providing more details about pearls.
My Aunt gave me lots of old clip-on earrings and necklaces back 30 plus years ago and I made Christmas ornaments out of the pretty 4:41 crystals. I love it when you're on Oak Island.

Did you have a chance to ask Grandma for the things you might have wanted of hers?
@@DrLoriV yes, she gave me several nice pieces & then I received more when she passed last September.
@@Molli2018 I'm sorry she's passed, it's tough, but I'm happy to hear that you had the chance for the conversation :)

Ebay is totally underselling vintage jewelry! The seller's need to watch a Dr.Lori video and learn something!!
There are bargains at a lot of places because people don’t care to find out what they are really selling. So keep shopping!!

Amazed when Dr. Lori appeared in Auction Kings - Gallery 63 TV show. Still amazed and learning so much! Thank you.
Nice to hear from you! You can still find old episodes of Auction Kings airing around the world.
I have a piece of costume jewelry that is a brooch in the shape of a cat with real fur on the body.
Oh I found a pieces of jewelry that was made with hair.
Mourning jewelry and who ever did the work with making hair art was amazing.
I found it in a box of junk in the trash in the eighties.
It was very facinating.
Yes, these pieces are interesting. I've appraised many of them over the years. They can be valuable.
Well, I paused this video a while ago and went to Taylor's tout de suite
, becoz im worried the furnitures are not bulletproof lol. But, of all things on Planet Earth, I did not really expect im gonna see and hear about an "Aurora Borealis" jewelry necklace after pressing play 3:38 .. I thought, I just saw the auroras at Taylor's song haha.. Hey, universe, are you playing some tricks?! My young friend from another star, are you even reading this hahaha.. ✨✨
Aha!!!!! I knew you are a Capricorn!!!! Yay!!!
:)
I love when she looks through her loop with her middle finger up...
i only found a biig letter on A on a necless old costume jewelery pleasethanks alot Dr Loi greetings from Malta
BTW- You give GREAT advice and instructional videos. Thanks for teaching us and allowing them to be free on youtube!!
Glad you like them! Please do your part and share the videos on social media with friends and family so we can keep them free on UA-cam.
Dr. Lori I absolutely love your videos!! I hope to have you appraise a gold necklace set with beautiful green jade. The jade is held in place by dragons. My grandfather Edman Greene was a Sea Man or Sea Merchant and traveled to China many times. He bought the necklace for my Grandmother Cora Linda Blanche Von Weigel. I am not great with computers but will try to get a photo of it for you to see. Thanks Dr. Lori, you are terrific!!🦋💕
Thanks for watching! Send me photos, I can help :)
You vast knowledge of vintage collectibles is amazing! This video made me even more curious about the estate sale jewelry I’ve acquired, I’d best get busy researching...😀
Gary, I help many people like yourself in their research. I visit homes, look at photos and even do FaceTime and Skype calls. You are not then wondering if the resource you are reading on the internet during your research is actually correct.
@@carolyndiffenderfer6181 My video call schedule is on my website. You reserve a time in my calendar there.
U make visit to homes,wow wo derful to know.would love to share some or most of my jewerly
@@pamelakomlofske8252 Yes, I visit homes to do appraisals. Most only take 1 hour if you have everything out and unwrapped.
Nice
What surprised you?
Wow...I wish I could get Dr. Lori to look at my Russian watch. Please come to Philly.
I look at photos of watches if you want to send them using my website. My events get scheduled in Philly when a group invites me. My schedule is on my website. I've done so many events in the Philly area over the years.
Too bad you don't come near Kentucky. I have almost a basement full of stuff I'd love to get appraised !
Chris I travel everywhere including KY. I can also look at photos and I do video chats.
I don't understand why you're an old maid, as you call yourself. You are a Beautiful!, Brilliant!, and Charming woman!. I love the luster of your hair. Thanks for your entertaining videos! My husband and I enjoy watching them!
You're sweet :)
Enjoy your videos. Heads up, I believe 24k to be more malleable then 10k and vise versa with durability. 10k is more durable then 24k which is the reason the other metals are added to the gold. They make the items stronger and less prone to bending and scratching. Looking forward to next video.
Thanks for watching. Yes, did you see my note in the comments? @7:45 Dr. Lori offers her apology as she misspoke about the durability of 24 karat gold. 10 karat gold is typically more durable than 24 karat gold when used in jewelry. 10 karat gold is the least pure form of gold, made up of only 41% gold and 59% alloy, and is highly durable. Thank you for your understanding. It's taped live and I just misspoke :)
January 11th is my youngest daughters birthday! She just had her 41st birthday last month.
Well you are just fun lady!
Thank you I have a tortoise necklace. With a Stone about 2 inches kinda shaped like a heart I got from the goodwill for $3.97
Great! I can look at it if you like to tell you what it's really worth. Is that what you are asking?
Would like to see more on costume jewelry
Thanks for the suggestion. Have you searched my channel? I have more vids about costume jewelry. More to come too, plus articles are on my website now!
Dr. Lori yes I have yet they are so short and only cover four or five pieces. Like to see more of a group/ signed/ unsigned/ era...
@@BirdnanBarry Ok, just checking to make sure you didn't miss any videos. More are being edited. I also have detailed articles and secrets on my website.
Happy Belated New Year Dr. Lori! (Only 10 days late for your birthday...)
Thanks Lisa. It's ok if my present is late too. lol Happy New Year to you too!!
@@DrLoriV well your present has just been sitting here waiting for you! Just need to get you to Idaho. As for the new years thing, we all get 2 each year... the one everyone celebrates at the 1st of the year and then our own private new year.. when we each start our own furst day if a new year.. aka birthday
@@lisavalentine492 lol! Yes I've got to get to Idaho. I'm waiting for a group to invite and host me :)
@@DrLoriV im workin on it!
Yeppp

Just found your channel! Love you!
Welcome!
QUESTION???? hopefully you still answer from older videos, where do we sell costume jewelry? Ebay doesn't seem to get the pricing
Have you watched my videos that focus on reselling? Have you read my articles on my website at www.DrLoriV.com where I talk about reselling? I also offer classes on reselling.
Like your videos you come to the point I fantasize one day I will find a special gem , I may have ! A necklace gold plates with a large diamond in each setting it’s 24 inches very sparkly
Linda, thanks for watching. I hope I can tell you one day that you found a treasure!
Hi just found your channel great info. Just want to ask on a silver tone necklace what does the marking mean when it says .999 on it thank you
Welcome. You may find my article on silver helpful at www.drloriv.com/Tips/ID/4517/Sterling-silver
@@carolyndiffenderfer6181 Sorry to hear that. I'm a good person to tell you the truth about what you've got! I look at photos, do events, video calls and even visit homes to look at items. Happy to offer my help!
Thank you for the information Dr Lori. I have an antique jewelry box full of costume jewelry I inherited from my Grandma. I used to play with it as a child. I let my own grandchildren play with it. I had no idea that it was valuable. What is the best way to care for it so I can pass it on to the next generation?
Well, I hate to take toys away, but you might want to find out which pieces are the most valuable and let the kids play with the not so valuable. Please don't forget to ask the grand kids if they want the pieces too. Maybe you can put those select pieces away for them. Do you have a jewelry box to store them in where the pieces aren't touching each other? Keep them in a space where you'd like to live, not the attic or basement.
@@DrLoriV Thank you! I will follow all your suggestions. If I had not found your channel, I would have missed the opportunity to save them. ♡
Do you charge to evaluate a piece? I found a piece of jewelry I swear comes from Egyptian museum. I’ve identified the piece is cut and not moles metal with certain motifs on it suggest it was for healing. That’s all I have managed to find and it is silver color which I believe it’s iron. How do I send you a picture of it?
Hi Valerie, yes I charge for my trained expertise. I have to verify what you claim is correct too. There is a lot of misinformation on the internet. I'll be happy to look at photos submitted using the form on my website
👍👍👍
I would love to know where I could sell necklaces like these for the amounts she's quoting. Most of these wouldn't go for more than $20 on ebay.
My values are based on actual sales records where I have seen similar pieces actually sell. I include these locations in writing in my online appraisal reports. Many online auction sites are not the best locations to sell particular items for top dollar. Thanks for the question :)
Dr. Lori your amazing. Who or where would you suggest I take a handful of costume jewelry for an honest appraisal? Thank you
I can help! I look at costume jewelry from photos, during FaceTime and Skype calls and at my events. Details are on my website.
@@DrLoriV I am technology challenged . I wish I could send you pictures in the mail or on line. I don't even know how to send pictures on line. Lol I can send you a check. Not sure where to go from here
@lindajordan9286 It's easy! Get a friend or family member to help. You can even use your smartphone. Check out the form on my website to send photos
I have so many pieces of AB Aborealis necklaces wish I could sell them for a fair price. Ebayers want it cheap darn lol
Yes, as I mentioned people are looking for bargains on eBay. I've also seen people pay too much for pieces online that have been brought to my events for appraisal. First you have to find out what people are really paying, not just on eBay. I help a lot of people do that.
I have 5 piece of wedge wood that I need a price on? I have 2 candle holder, 2 vases and a plaque that has a date 1918 and has some writing on the back of it? But we're I live everyone said to go on the internet to see what's it's worth? I live in Franklin NC?
Michelle, I can verify what you really have and tell you what people really pay. Can you send me photos? Maybe schedule a video call and show me so I can see it?
Lori, do you recommend any books that help identify antique items with the depth of detail that you cover ? Any subject. Thank you!
Mrs. E, have you visited my website? I offer details that cover various subjects :)
@@DrLoriV In this video there is no link to your website.
@@mik_noko5034 Check out my website articles and more videos at www.DrLoriV.com/
@@DrLoriV Thank you much!
Will have to check out ur website,i have a lot of older jewlery ,wondering what its worth.
Are IPS pearls valuable? Are pearls with a gold clasp usually real? What about sterling?
You've got to correctly identify them first. Clasps can be replaced. I can help, but need to see your piece. Can you send me photos?
Out of curiosity isn't 24k gold quite malleable and soft and that's why they have to alloy it with other metals to make it less soft? Ps love your videos
Good catch. I just misspoke as noted in the description for the video: @7:45 Dr. Lori offers her apology as she misspoke about the durability of 24 karat gold. 10 karat gold is typically more durable than 24 karat gold when used in jewelry. 10 karat gold is the least pure form of gold, made up of only 41% gold and 59% alloy, and is highly durable. Thank you for your understanding.
Sorry I did not read the description and great knowledge about antiques
@@retszavners6814 No problem, sorry I misspoke! Thanks for watching.
Dr Lori
I found a picture of Zapata and Elvis....are they worth anything
Delphine, I can help, but need to see to verify what you really have. "Picture" can mean a lot of different things. Can you send me photos? Bring the picture to one of my events?
Can anyone tell me which of these brands are the most valuable? I have a lot of jewelry (esp clip on earrings from grandma) from these brands but to me they all seem the same level of quality. Is one brand more desirable than the others? Napier, Trifari, Monet, Sarah Coventry
Beatrice, yes I can tell you! I need to see your specific pieces so I can correctly verify what you have. There are several ways I can help!
For many years I collected vintage costume jewelry. I have boxes and boxes of many similar to those you are showing, plus lots of rhinestones brooches, but, is time to get rid of them. Your evaluations sound wonderful, problem is, where do I go to sell them for these prices? I would settle for much less than the values u put on them. No where locally will give me anything close to these prices, and even ebay prices are horrible. 30 years ago, when I first started collecting them they were selling so a decent amount, but, I wasnt wanting to sell then, I was strictly collecting. My bad, maybe I should have sold them then to get a pretty profit.
Brenda, my values are what people are actually paying. I offer online appraisal reports that show you where pieces like yours actually sold and for how much. Don't make the mistake when selling that your stuff is not worth much. You'll lose a lot of money that way. The places you mentioned are not the only places to sell.
