I just discovered your chanel today and I think is the best chanel about vintage jewelry. You are very knowledgeable, you have a tone of books and an amazing collection of best and most beautiful costume jewelry. I start collecting costume jewelry as a therapy, not knowing anything about costume jewelry, and buying as many I could just to learn about makers and read as much information online i could find about them . I used to go every estate sale, triftstore, antique for few years. I have enough pieces to keep me busy reasearch them( i am still working full time) in my spare time and once in a while go for hunting. Thank you for your work and for sharing your beautiful collection with us.
Thank you for watching. My advice is to keep learning and collecting. This is a great post-retirement hobby. It is exactly what I did! It pays for itself and you get to do the things you want to anyway., buy more jewelry, study, and attend shows. I am in England as we speak!
I'm a man that Loves costume jewelry! I found two pairs of ciner clip on earrings my mother was parting with. Found it odd, an earring has a pat 156452 inside on clasps, logo name outside on clasp. OMG! Pat's glass pearl double broach is beautiful. To see Mrs Pat's jewelry what she parted with or donated, what was given away is intriguing. It's almost the costume jewelry version of Elizabeth Taylor. Reading everything on her right now..😍thk you!😘💕
The patent number is for the clip mechanism, not the design of the earrings. Pat's necklace is my favorite thing in my collection! I loved your comments, thank you! Today, I am working on a new video on Dior and Grosse jewelry. Make sure you follow me so you can see when it posts.
Spectacular presentation. I’m a research librarian and I can tell you from experience that you did an amazing job. So enjoyed the information and your passion.
What a wonderful video. I picked up numerous Ciner pieces in the late-1980s-early-1990s in New York at Sak's Fifth Avenue. The craftsmanship is beautiful. Since then I have collected other pieces and purchased a few as gifts. I also believe it's an undervalued jewelry brand.
SO SO SO HAPPY to see you back making videos. I am a seller of antique and vintage jewelry and have been sharing you you tube channel with so many others. You are AMAZING !!! I LOVE LEARING and You are such a GREAT Educator. I LOVE Your Passion. Your channel is GOLD !!!!! TRULY. THANK YOU !!!
Yay! Great to see you back! I have been curios about Ciner. I am wondering if the cross hatch on the back is a key feature. Watching what you have to say now. 👍
Brava! Excellent video, for so many reasons-the main one, as is always the case with you, is content. In particular the information you curate and impart…a tall order to meet. So, Ciner: Completely new to me-I’m a relative newcomer to fine costume jewelry (aka: Pandora’s Box). The history and craftsmanship of their work, really resonates with me. No matter the quality, I’m a sucker for enamel work of any kind. But that enamel work took my breath away. Truly exquisite.
I love this series of videos and am so pleased to see one on Ciner. They produced such high-quality, exquisite jewelry. It's easy to see why you fell in love with the necklace that never meets! Thank you!

Wow! Thank you so much for the in-depth presentation! I have never question, I inherited my Aunts costume jewelry. What advice could you give me as far as when some pieces aren’t signed, where do you look for the maker. These are from the 1930-1970. Thank you so much!
You are welcome, thanks for watching. Identifying unmarked pieces (there were many) takes a lot of experience. Where do you live? Maybe I can recommend a knowledgeable dealer.
@@chapelhillvintagejewels Hi, I live In Mason, Ohio. Near Cincinnati, Ohio. I really appreciate you thinking about me. I’m just really lost with what to do with her Jewelry like as far as pricing or what’s real or what’s not. I’m trying to learn more about the Era’s of Jewelry and your channel is so fantastic you explain everything really well!
This video is PRICELESS. Such fantastic information. Your videos are some of my most valued in educational value. Thank u. Oh - but re: the unsigned Ciner - I just happened across this on Worthpoint “REPRODUCTIONS Many unmarked copies of Ciner’s most popular styles have been made, especially during the 1980s. These knockoffs include designs similar to their hinged animal bracelets and Moghul-type pieces like earrings and brooches. These copycat pieces were produced in varying quality levels and can usually be distinguished as such when examined side by side with marked Ciner. Look for sloppy enameling, lack of attention to detail, and haphazard stone setting. Most jewelry leaving the Ciner factory was marked, and still is, so unsigned pieces in similar styles are likely period copies or even newer reproductions.”
Thank you for your kind words and the excellent reference regarding fake Ciner jewelry. This is a problem we all need to be aware of with any of the really coveted designers. Buyer, always beware. If you are going to collect something get very familiar with the jewelry so you have a frame of reference when you come across a fake.
Were you wearing Ciner on your wrist? I had the red enamel bracelet like the one you were wearing, but yours was black. I’ll go look up whether there was a black Ciner bracelet. Thanks again! Love your info.
Thank you for making this video. I found a beautiful necklace with knotted glass pearls and an enameled cat clasp. They said that the plate that said Ciner had broken off, is that possible? 🕊️
I have a broken Carol Dauplaise earring. The metal ring connecting two pieces of this particular design broke. Can metal used in costume jewelry be fixed? They are my favorite and I’m sad I can’t wear them.
I address this in the video. 2nd thing to know about Ciner...Since the company used some of the same marks during different time periods, it is almost impossible to use them for dating purposes.
This was such an interesting and informative video. I agree with the research librarian @user-fg3iu1dz2p that you did an amazing job. I usually timestamp my comments on videos at my favourite part...but there were TOO MANY 😂. Thank you for taking the time to do the research and create the video.😊❤😊
Thank you very much. I love sharing my long-time hobby and feel very strongly in sharing knowledge. I love research, I can't write very well, but I can talk about jewelry.

Lucky you. We both agree it is wonderful jewelry and I will be expanding my collection. I think the value will increase.
I’m so happy to see you and this new video!
I guess this is my Chapel Hill Vintage Jewelry video day.

Congratulations on your success!!

Great video, I learn a lot from you about vintage jewelry. Thanks.
Oh I’m so happy to see that you are back with a video on RUclips!!! Boy did I miss your posts!!!
Yay! Great to see you back!
I have been curios about Ciner. I am wondering if the cross hatch on the back is a key feature. Watching what you have to say now. 👍
I am not sure what you mean by cross hatch. All Ciner is signed so it takes the guessing out of it!

Love connecting with like-minded people like yourself!
❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much for your time
Wow the necklace that doesn’t end….absolutely stunning ❤
Yes, I am a bit crazed about it. Thank you.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video on Ciner. Thank you for posting all the videos you do to help educate me and everyone who loves jewelry.
My pleasure, glad you enjoy them. Time for another, soon!!
I have learned so much from your video series and I'm glad you are back!!! Your Ruby Lane shop is also an education in itself.
Thank you so much. I feel strongly about sharing knowledge and appreciate it when someone finds it useful. They do take quite a bit of time to do!
Happy to see a new video!
They take a lot of time! I'll be working on the next one.
Exceptional fashion jewelry!!
American beauties.
We love Ciner jewelry!

Gracias por la información. Y felicitaciones por tu exquisito buen gusto en tu colección de joyas .💐
De nada!
Gracias por las amables palabras.
Wonderful presentation! I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful ❤
Were you wearing Ciner on your wrist? I had the red enamel bracelet like the one you were wearing, but yours was black. I’ll go look up whether there was a black Ciner bracelet.
Thanks again! Love your info.
Yes, the bracelet I was wearing is Ciner and is black enamel and rhinestones, There are many variations of it, I have had red as well.
Brilliant👌🏻
Wow!
Thank you for making this video. I found a beautiful necklace with knotted glass pearls and an enameled cat clasp. They said that the plate that said Ciner had broken off, is that possible? 🕊️
Sorry to say, I highly doubt it. Ciner is most often stamped right into the gold-plate. Not something that would "fall off".
Missed you
One day maybe talk about Van Dell and Beau Sterling?
The bad news is I only do videos on areas I have a very large selection to show examples. I don't collect either of those. Sorry!
I have a broken Carol Dauplaise earring. The metal ring connecting two pieces of this particular design broke. Can metal used in costume jewelry be fixed? They are my favorite and I’m sad I can’t wear them.
Depends on the metal but may be able to be resoldered. I don't know how to do that.
How do you date your Ciner piece? I have a turquoise enamel bangle signed CINER and would love to know how old it is but can’t find any info.
I address this in the video. 2nd thing to know about Ciner...Since the company used some of the same marks during different time periods, it is almost impossible to use them for dating purposes.
Still no help, thanks
Recommended you on my channel. Thank you for your expertise 💛
Thank you for doing that, I appreciate it. I have met some of my very best friends from this world of costume jewelry. It is a great hobby.
This was such an interesting and informative video. I agree with the research librarian @user-fg3iu1dz2p that you did an amazing job. I usually timestamp my comments on videos at my favourite part...but there were TOO MANY 😂. Thank you for taking the time to do the research and create the video.😊❤😊
