My Collection: Chris Hughes - inside his home and antiques collection
Thank you for this video! 😀💐
Loved this so very much I am going around now and putting my pearls to my teeth. My dear late parents visited Japan in the 70's and visited the Mikimoto factory. I have a few pieces but there was one item a Silver 6 pearl broch and I put it to my teeth and immediately felt the grittiness . THANK YOU.
Interestingly, the baroque movement in the arts was actually named after a misshapen pearl and not the other way around-- great video though
It caught your eyes that the word 😔😂🤣 things you collects that what you want to see after after you returned from work and during your off day
Beautiful subject, beautifully explained. Thank you.
What ever happened to those ancient Panamanian and Venezuelan pearls? Are any of them in notable collections today.
Wow, excellent information.
YOU DO HAVE SOME EXQUISITE PIECES
Fascinating!!! Thank you for posting!
Dude looks like Chris Farley.
I wish they would make hundreds of these videos
Hello CAN you tell me if Pearls (hb original patent ) are rare ? Whats the origine of HB please ?
Keep up these little videos, Chris!! There is such little quality educational antique "content" online. Really there is nothing aside from the usual ebay/thrift nonsense. Now that you've teased everybody with the cameo piece at the end you should show off some Daum, Galle, and LCT! I'd make such a video myself, but as you know there's only so much time in the day when you've got a shop to run. All the best :)
Enjoyed 😊❤

Enjoyed! Thank you for teaching! 😊❤
Thank you for watching! Are there any topics you'd like us to cover in the future?
This is the first time I've heard it explained WHY pearls should be worn and how doing so will maintain their luster. It makes so much sense! When you said this, I immediately paused the video and ran to put my pearls on! They spend 99% of their time in their case, rarely worn. It's time to revive these babies! Thank you so much for such a clear, informative video! ❤
So insightful !
Does a stamp "sterling IND Japan" mean the item is sterling silver?
Wow
Super clear presentation you are obviously an expert with an ability to make a presentation fascinating
Are you sure it isn't Russian style circa 1910?
Wonderful video.
You look a bit like Jack Black which made this informative video more fun!
Yes like Jack Black

Hello I am wondering if you would be interested in acquiring a Hector Aguilar full sterling tea set. Thank you.
Wonderful. Thankyou.
Thank you for watching!
Please keep the camera on the jewelry while speak of it or at least longer so we can really see the piece and understand its symbolism
What I learned when I lived in Newport, Rhode Island, is in the late 1800s Mrs. Ogden Goelet is the woman who owned the building that is now The Tiffany Building. It was indeed a fair trade. Mrs. Goelet also built the magnificent French Style Ochre Court in Newport, Rhode Island. That is where I attended Salve Regina.-The Newport College.
Lovely
Too short...we need to see and hear more😢
So informative. Lovely jewellery too❤
Omg what a great presenter, clear speech, excellent pauses when needed for drama play and he knows how to give value to the pearls. Thank you very much..!
Thank YOU so much!
Thank you, this has helped a great deal !
How to tell Salt water vs freshwater pearls.
I would like to see a special about golden age jewellery. The Edwardian periode More refined pièces, Also the Fabergé jewellery interests me.
I like the natural saltwater baroque antique pearls.🤗 They dont need to be round, just a nice shape. Where to go to get the best valuate and age of antique pearls ? Most experts dont know. Ps, Also when fit in jewellery, like from Fabergé they are multiplied in value.
cool video :)
