Hi, Pam 😊 Those first sets of beads - worry beads / prayer beads. Usually some slack in the threading, for movement / manipulation of the beads. Hello from the UK 👋
Sarah Pat Pending I believe on the necklace you couldn’t read. I believe the gold necklace you thought was chili pepper may be an Italian horn necklace. Popular in the 80’s. You may want to test it if you don’t see any plating. Lots made in 14 k. Usually worn by men.
What you referred to as a chili pepper is actually a charm against the "evil eye"-- "malocchio" in Italian, also referred to as a "cornicello" (little horn). The moment I saw it on the screen, I recognized it and thought I should mention that I've seen necklaces like that in 10K/14K/18K gold as well as in gold tone metal or gold plated. As a member of an Italian family, I have more than one myself!
The beads at the beginning are prayer beads. They are intended to have a short length of string with no bead to move the beads to keep track of how many times the person has said the prayer. I also bought 2 sets of vintage prayer beads that I will string into necklaces.
I just wanted to add that my prayer beads are bakelite. The Bakelite prayer beads are old plastic and can be very valuable. You can test to see if they are Bakelite by using a chrome cleaner called Simichrome. The age of the string will give you an idea of the age of the beads. Bakelite is much much more valuable than acrylic and those of us who are into Bakelite try to find old prayer beads for the beads. We also look for old buttons made of bakelite. Bakelite prices went through the roof from 2011 to 2016. They have come down and now is the time to buy. Prices are expected to go up again. The Chinese are starting to buy vintage costume jewelry and like the Bakelite. Prices are expected to go up past the 2016 prices.
🤔 maybe I should make up a fine and antique Jewelry jar for you to open? I love the beads on the prayer strands, you could try and test them phenolic beads fetch great money.I think the Goodwill ones usually have more of a chance at trash or treasure ✨ This one was great for crafting ❤
Great craft beads. You layered those pieces and it made a world of difference than them being individual.😊
Thank you! I really appreciate it 😊❤️❤️
Love those beads on the prayer strands, really nice! I love the puffy heart necklace 😊 thanks for sharing Pam!
Thank you Hannah! I appreciate you watching 😊❤️❤️❤️

Of an odd length, between bracelet and necklace, because not really designed to be worn, but as a 'fidget' / meditation tool.
How interesting! Worry beads! Thank you so much for the very good information 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The beads in a necklace at 4:18 and the second set of prayer beads appear to me that they may be Bakelite (valuable) not acrylic (cheap).
Awesome thank you ❤️❤️❤️
You should check to see if the memory wire bracelet beads 14:25 are Bakelite. Basically you should always check beads and buttons for bakelite.
Hello those short necklace no vlasp hand held rosaries I work with jewelry as well find quite a few😊

Thank you Dana. I thought the beads were nice too. The last jar was much better but still some nice crafting pieces.❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
The chilli-pepper-shaped gold tone pendant looks like a horn of plenty / cornucopia.
Awesome! Thank you!😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
at 9:09 it says Sarah Pat Pend. It is Sarah Coventry.
Anything that is fake tortoise shell like the earring should be tested for bakelite.
They are worry beads
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
So far not worth it to me
❤️❤️
