Also, we will explore two old jewelry boxes full of old pieces! I went above my budget, but I got some great stuff! Please join me and my mom as we go through some of my purchases. Hugs, SANDRA & MOM

Sandy, I want to be there with you and your Mom. What beautiful lots you bought. You girls have so much fun, it is so nice to see how close you two are.
Thanks so much, I would love to have everyone over for a cup of coffee! Wouldn't that be fun? It's cool to think about cos there are so many nice people here. Guess we'll have to settle for RUclips videos, but we appreciate everyone. My mom is pretty awesome, we treasure our time together and I wish we lived closer. Hugs.
Gee you guys find some great stuff! I love the cherry amber heart earrings. And the beautiful Victorian key brooch is fantastic!
Ahhhh you like 'em old -- like I do! I love the earrings AND that key. WOW! xoxo
Wow, there are lots of pieces that are truly the ‘cat’s meow’ 😻
Yes for sure!!! xo
The turquoise rings are beautiful. My favorite!! Love spending time with you and your mom!
I love those rings too. And they are nice 'n big -- unlike a lot of antique and vintage rings that I find that are size 3 or 4! I have a much, much larger lot coming up in a video soon... Thanks.
I really love all that old jewelry. Definitely, they all have a story to tell. So nice you and your mom can go through the jewelry together.
Yes! Thank you!😊
Vintage red heart earrings were my favorite! And Rock crystal necklace.😊❤👍🏽
YESSSS! Thanks!!! xo
HAHAHA! Loving u and ur MOM for sharing these delightfully crafted jewelry!
😊 thank you
Oh the smells 😊watching you both go threw all those old jewelry boxes i can just smell the mustiness of time past🤗 I love it..Thank you bith for sharing..
The japaning broock looks like something in your personal brooch collection.
I know! It's VERY MEEEEE! haha! Thanks Samantha!
Your mom vcracks me up! “But WAIT!” 😂
You got some vintage turquoise rings old silver!
My favorite turquoise ring is the one you are keeping❤💙
I love it too -- it's huge and believe it or not -- it's not uncomfortable. Thanks for watching!
I have big hands so I can’t always find my size often in turquoise. Pricing is prohibitive for me too-my budget 😂 not that it is necessarily overpriced.
I'm fond of the cat also. I rescued my first black kitten this past September before he was killed.
Oh no. So sorry to hear that. Hugs.
I love watching you and your mom going through jewellery. I wish I still had my mom, always cherish the time you have with her. You only have one mom.
Awww sorry for your loss. We all have limited time here. All we can do is enjoy each other while we got ‘em. 🥰 hugs, Sandra
Your very sweet. Your the best on the web and I love your taste in jewellery. I’ve been collecting real mystic topaz for 35 years it’s my fav
Hi love, when you have your mom on. She makes me smile I guess maybe because she reminds me of my mom.
Awww. She is a great person! xo
Holy turquoise haul Sandra!! Those rings are gorgeous, I don’t know if I could part with any of them. Love your mom, you guys are so good together. Thanks for another great haul video!!
Thanks so much, I know what you mean about keeping them.... But I can't afford to keep them this time! I'll just keep that one cluster ring for now.... Thanks a ton! xo
The turquoise Oh my gosh…I really love the pieces.
Awww thank you and thanks for watching!
It takes a special kind of person to be able to part with some of these beautiful and unique pieces.
I know what you mean! I am in selling mode currently because I've been buying much more than I can ever wear. AND... I like the idea of people I like buying these items to enjoy and pass on to somebody else! Cheers.
Great hauls! Love some of the turquoise items, the Sajen, that atomic burst from the last big lot the blue cats meow brooch and blue brooch immediately after it. So many wonderful items. Wonderful to see your mom with you.
Thanks so much!! Hope all is well.... xoxox
I think I recently noticed there is a video on replacing the backs of pins. Nice haul!
I will have to check that out -- it seems so common for the pins to snap off. If it's not too complicated (for my pea brain haha), I might give it a try. Thank you.
2:33 looks like Venetian silver foil green beads..the cat pendant❤❤❤the whole auction..omg it's like Xmas.
Fun lot, right? Thanks so much!
Omg! The cat 🐈⬛ ❤
I think that one is super cute too! xo
This was a nice lot Sandra. The celebrity NY Christmas pin was really nice.
That one is killer, right?? Hugs!
Hi Sandra, Hi Mom! You made some fabulous purchases!
Thanks so much!!
The clear glass discs are watch crystals. Great lots!
Thanks for the info! Cheers.
That was a lot of fun. I love little old boxes too. Last summer while in Holland, I was able to go through my aunt's trinkets following her death a few years ago.
Sorry about your Aunt, but glad you will be the keeper of her things! Cheers
Makes my mouth water 😂
Pretty stuff, right? Cheers.
Great haul! Nice to see your sweet mom. The garnet looking brooch at 31:35 look like maybe rose cut Bohemian. Be cool if they are real!
They certainly do! I will check it out. THANKS so much!!!
I thought so too, possibly gold or gold filled I hope.
You scored! The turquoise rings are fantastic! A couple of them appear to be vintage Navajo made and signed pieces. It sure is hard to go wrong with turquoise and sterling silver! Also the rock crystal at 25:15 is stunning! Love the garnet glass brooch at 31:35! The antique carved blue stone and sterling necklace at 33:20 is exquisite. It reminds me of a blue counterpart to carved red carnelian.
Agree! I don't usually find much turquoise, and I'm happy I got so many beautiful rings. THANKS for watching.
Wow
Always love seeing you and your mom enjoy your treasures. Makes me sad for my mom, rest in peace.
Sorry about your mom. I know how lucky I am. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed our video. Cheers
I did not realize Joan Rivers was anything. I have a piece, a necklace of orange yellow brown 'gems' I grabbed at a local thrift shop for 1.99. How fun!
Yeah Joan Rivers jewelry is awesome! Congrats!
That Sajan group is killer.
Agreed. I love it!
Hi Mom & Sandra ❤
Hi!!!
Hi Sandra and Mom, the earring you said is Gutta Percha, I have the brooch, the gold test 14Kt., I hope you found the other one.
Very cool! We don’t have the other, my mom thought she saw it but was mistaken. It’s so beautiful, enjoy the brooch and thanks for the heads up.
🦋🪷 Hi Sandra, That's such a shame, you only had just 1 of those earrings, but not to worry, or give up, just yet, because there's a website, for people that have lost or only have 1 earrings, darnit, I already forget the name of their page, I'm pretty sure it's on Facebook right now, but as soon as I do, remember the name of their page, I will let you know right away, I just came across that group, myself. I will definitely look then let you know, Sandra Nite-nite 😴
TTYS ✌️🧡 @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
@@lindaclancy981 I think that group is called “ Single and looking for a Mate”
Amazing wins Sandra, Hi Mom ❤
Wishful thinking 🤔 ❤😁
Hi Tanya!!!!! Sending hugs!
I found a similar rock crystal necklace a few weeks ago. It was absolutely beautiful just like the one you have.
Oh wow! So much beautiful simplicity... Enjoy and thanks for watching!
The Coro ☀️pin/pendant at 30:25 looks like dragon’s breath, since costume though, I guess it is glass. Very pretty.
It isn't dragon's breath, but it's beautiful!!! Thank you!
@30:15 - The Coro piece, do you think earring, or enhancer? That hinged clip mechanism would go over beads/pearls really easily?
It must be that -- because a brooch / earring combo makes no sense! I've never seen anything like it. Thanks for the info! xo
Jade bracelet after the “cats meoW” lol
Nice finds
Thank you kindly!
❤❤❤
Cat stunning
Thank you! 😊 It's really cute!!!
Very baby blue smooth clear of blemish turquoise might be from the Sleeping Beauty mine which is closed. Sleeping Beauty turquoise is found in only that one place and there will never be more.
How interesting. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!
Love Sajen♥️
Me too, and I almost never find it! Thanks for watching.
6.25, is a very high quality, particular kind of Turquoise.
Do you know what it is? I am curious about it. Thanks!
You can test your turquoise with acetone or nail polish remover with acetone- just dip qtip in acetone and rub the top of the turquoise. If color comes off onto qtip then your stone is most likely howlite dyed. Dark green turquoise usually come from China.
Yep, I've done that for sure. Good to know about the dark green. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching!
@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter just for the sake of acccurate info and learning, i want to note that China produces what's called 'Hubei' turquoise which is one of the bluest and lighest stones and its valuable too! so i wouldn't go with the dark=china rule though im sure it applies sometimes, The dark green stones in your lot look like Vericite. it is a similar mineral to turquoise and desirable as well.
Thanks for that info.
Sandra take the iteam to an oftalmologist they will buy or tell you if is worth something!
They are pocket watch parts. They DO sell for a little bit. I will sell them in my eBay store!
I just sold a longines watch box like that two days ago.
Oh wow. Okay, good to know... Thanks and congrats!
6:25 looks like No. 8. The long slab of robins egg w no matrix is likely SB? Just guessing
Ok, thank you for the info. I will try to figure it out, but I know almost nothing about turquoise, I only know that it's all beautiful. Hugs
Don't worry there's always a market for good damaged pieces with higher end crafters.
I think so too. In fact, I'm thinking about doing a RUclips sale with my broken pieces -- I have some A-listers that are missing a stone or two that somebody might be able to doctor. Thanks for watching!
Did you find/remember the maker’s mark on the ring with three stones that you commented on the silver work? If you did would you please let me know? I was going through a bag of jewelry and found a Native American pendent with a makers mark that I didn’t know so I was doing research on it for about 10 minutes when I glanced up and could not believe my eyes: your ring had the exact same mark as my pendant!!!!!!!! I still can’t find that mark and watching you say that you knew the mark, I was hoping you could share. BTW-I adore your channel and have been subscribed to it for a very long time.
Thanks so much for watching my videos! If it’s the ring I think you mean, it is Relios by Carolyn Pollack! Hope this helps. Cheers
The silver item is called a match safe.
Thank you kindly.
I think that blue pendant from the jewelry box is Goldette.
Ok, thanks for the info! Cheers.
What a beautiful collection someone had!❤ Do you sell the jewelry making stuff? I also fix old vintage pieces ❤
Hi, YES that collection is beautiful and there's lots more to come, so stay tuned. I didn't buy the jewelry parts, I have too much inventory at the moment. I'm sure I could've sold them. Thank so much.
Love this video.
When you find a makers mark and it does not have a
Copyright mark C….does that mean it was made
before a certain date?
I read this somewhere.
Well, I've never heard that before, but it does make sense. For instance, I've never seen a copyright symbol on something from the 1700s or the 1800s. I'm really not sure though exactly when the copyright office came into existence. The copyright symbol can be indicative of a certain year or years when it comes to specific marks on jewelry, for example dating Trifari signatures. Some may have ™ and some may not, some have script lettering, some have copyright, and so on. Hope this all makes sense. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
Florence can be unmarked. Would only mark one item in a set
37:35 I’m still learning about recognizing gold and silver if there isn’t a marking. This locket has some pitting on the back. What does that tell you about the metal?
Hi, thanks for watching my video! The first thing that tells me this piece is not gold is the color. It is brass, which usually additionally has a smell to it that I can identify. This item tho has lost that smell. That discoloration is typical of what you might see on brass items, not gold. I have tho seen discoloration on real gold before, but never looking like that. Hope this helps!
Oh noooo! Does the Dolphin have a crack!?? It looks like it’s a thru and thru stating abt 1cm from his tail, dorsal side. Please tell me it’s not?..🙏🙏🙏
It is not a crack. I think the stone is fluorite, and there are natural inclusions throughout the dolphin. Thanks for watching ☺️
@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter oh good! That is THE COOLEST, most UNIQUE piece I’ve ever seen! Glad to hear that, thanks!
It really is “art” isn’t it? I love it too!! Cheers!
Can anyone provide advice as to whether it is better to purchase gold items individually, such as a necklace or earrings or a ring…. or to purchase all of them as a lot for gold value?
That would certainly depend on the price. It seems like buying in bulk would be cheaper, but the seller could be overpricing! Thanks so much for watching! Hugs.
the glass discs are mabye for pocket watch?
Yes! We've never seen them before but I found some on eBay. Interesting items!!!! Thank you.
the glass was curved, not ideaal for glasses lol.@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter
@justcurious4060 I didn’t know eyeglass glass wasn’t curved - I never thought about it! Haha cheers!
Was gonna say jewelry bags r not to good lately
Yup. Agreed. But, I'm addicted haha!
Goldette
Thanks for that!!!!
48:54 did you ever find out what this pendant is?
I don't know what it is. Lapis maybe? Not sure that can be carved... I need to have a look on Google. Thanks for watching.
Dolphin is different
Yeah, I think so too. It is a work of art... Interesting piece for sure!
43:45 I would like to purchase this penny from you.
Reach out to me at iamthefunkypickle at gmail, okay? Thanks!
U act like u know nothing about jewelry really u are well knowing about jewelry lol
Thanks for watching! I DO know lots of things about jewelry -- but not ALL the things LOL! xo
