    I worked at Ball Foster those numbers on the bottom of your jars were mold numbers so they could know what mold they came out of if they were not a good one on the glass pour they would throw it away until the mold was fixed.

    I can't believe, how much I like you Rusty. That may sound really rude, but there is so much C.R.A.P. on RUclips, I just never expected to like you so much. You are a funny character, you don't take yourself too seriously, no putting on airs, yet you are not making a fool of yourself...true to yourself, I think. You have a great disposition, perspective, again character with different meaning this time. Thank you for the journey of this buy, and the broach video. The broach video was my "take a chance, see what your channel is about". Very impressed. Not just the subject, but the way you do what you do. I can tell you really love your craft, you enjoy it, and you share it with a teacher's heart. Well done.
    I am decluttering, my recently deceased husband's stuff, and stuff I have dragged from Virginia to Kentucky and back. Mostly trash, very little of value, perhaps I'll learn something from you, and find a treasure, something, hopefully a few things of value to sell to help with gas, groceries & keep the mortgage paid. Every little bit helps now. Thank you again. I hope to prepare my home to make money for me, small town airbnb.

  • @AMBELLINA77

    That rolled gold bracelet is awesome. I would sell it alone, but adding it to other lesser valued jewelry will raise the value of a lot. If you sell a handful of items, buyers will mentally average out the values. So if you add a 1$ item to 4 other $100 items, people will see 5 $50 items (not good as you go from $401 to $250). But if you add a $100 item to 4 $1 items, people will average those to 5 $50 items (much better going from $104 to $250).
    Super great video. It always amazes me how little people know about jewelry (better for us though right lol) but they really should. My aunt just told me how she threw away all her broken gold chains...because they were broken. Uggggg!!!! I try to educate all my loved ones on identifying the CASH MONEY that jewelry actually can be. Good video, great narration, good camera. Subscribed. A+
    P.S. the "14k Italy" fooled me as my first lesson in jewelry many years ago (no money was lost, just the sale). I have since learned that if it is from Italy, it will have boxed or oval with initials and numbers, a star, and/or metal content. It will not ever say "14k Italy."

    I'm sitting in the dining room watching this video and my husband walks by when you say your fav tool is crack. He goes to make coffee and overheard you mention crack a few more times, a little confused but says nothing to me about what I'm watching. I'm smiling because now I know he's curious. He makes his coffee and walks by slowly trying to catch more info from your video. He then goes to HIS comfy chair in the living room and turns the tv on. Adjusts the volume real low so he can still listen to this video but at the same time pretend he's watching TV not listening to what I'm watching. I realize this and turn my volume WAY down so he can make out your voice but can't hear what you're saying. He slurps his coffee down in record time (less than a minute) and goes back for a second cup. Still says nothing to me about what this Crack business is all about. I'm laughing out loud but silently to myself at this point because after 26 years living with this man I can tell he REALLY wants to ask me what in the hell I'm watching but.....won't. By now he realizes I'm watching him and I stop the video and plug my headphones in and adjust my chair so he can't see my monitor. We lock eyes. He shoots me a look and cocks his head. I raise my eyebrows and go back to watching my Crack video. I can see him going back to doing his coffee thing, putting sugar in and stirring the cream in and he walks past me slowly with his head turned to me the entire time as if he's expecting me to close my laptop and explain.
    But no...I'm typing this instead, smiling ear to ear. HA, Ha, ha. Sometimes you have to create your own fun within the days of marriage. Thank you for entertaining our family this morning with you completely benign acronym of CRACK. I don't know if he'll ask me about this incident today but if he does I'll just tell him that I have no idea what you are talking about and keep him guessing. Why? Because it's an innocent way to entertain myself.

    I'm pretty sure that garnet ring is from Czechoslovakia, made cca 1950-1970. Gold over Silver 900/1000, Bohemian Garnets (our national stone) and probably garnet-almandine in the middle. Gretings from CZ, Central Europe ❤🇨🇿

    Pins and broaches are things I wear. My mom born 1917 was a pin freak and I always wear pins and brooches.
    A clear cut stone could be a MOISSANITE, a lab made "diamond". Moissanite is super non expensive. 1 carat is $30. They're harder than a diamond and will register as a very low grade diamond. They sparkle every color of the rainbow which a diamond doesn't do. Even cut colored glass will sparkle like crazy and to the naked eye can look like a gemstone - light blue cut glass can look like a light blue sapphire.
    With a soft brush and ammonia or toothpaste, those stones can be cleaned and they will sparkle and a soft silver polishing cloth is a must.
    In a small thrift shop I bought a larger heart shaped ashtray, $0.50. It was/is heavier. When home, it turned out to be made of Peuter.
    Your channel shows so much - love watching as it's right up my alley. Just found you 🥰

  • @lizziesangi1602
    @lizziesangi1602 Год назад +6

    MOISSANITE was discovered in 1898. It was only found in meteors which accounts for the rarity. It was then found Moissanite could be be made under lab conditions by a fellow named Moissan. Moissanite is harder than a diamond and will register as a low grade diamond which is why another test must be performed on them. Moissanite is not expensive but its' sparkle is off the hook - which can give it away. Personally, I like it and have a small Cross Pendant of Moissanite. There are holes behind every stone and as the stones are encased on three sides there are holes on the bottom and either side.

    Here is a quick rundown of CRACK or QRAC:
    5:16 Q - Quality: Any precious metals or stones?
    11:00 R - Rarity: Is it unique or common? Does it have a special type of clasp? Is it mass-produced?
    15:37 A - Age: Was it limited edition? Who is the manufacturer? Are they still in business? Are the stones synthetic? That can be a clue to when it was made. What type of clasp does it have? What is the style of it? Mid-century? Art Noveau?
    25:14 C - Condition: Is it pristine? Is it uniform? Does it have nice color? Does the clasp work well?

    Hi, I can tell you for a fact that sapphire and diamond bracelet was a QVC item back in the late 90's to early 2k's, my mom gave me the ruby version as a gift, otherwise identical. The clasp would catch on everything and pretty soon got bent out of shape so it wouldn't stay closed. Ashamed to say I sold it for a lot less than it was worth because it scuffed up and the annoying clasp, and one of the stones didn't match the others, and the internet was new and things like that were hard to research. Just the value of the synthetic rubies would have made it worth quite a bit more, if I'd only knew!

    My guy PD the sapphire tennis bracelet you shown. PD or palladium is a platinum group metal. Its not worth as much as gold by weight but it is worth more then regular platinum. About $1500 an ounce or so right now. I think that bracelet is worth more than you think if it actually is gold plated palladium. Platinum while it is a specific metal itself is actually also a generic term for the " platinum group " metals which includes platinum palladium rhodium ruthenium osmium and iridium. I dont think youll come across jewelry made out of any besides platinum and palladium though. Some of the others are worth a LOT more. Rhodium is about 10-12k an ounce right now. Iridium is about $4900 an ounce. I dont think theyre ever really used for jewelry ( I could be wrong though ).

    On georgian jewellery the paste stones predominantly have closed backs, open back didn't really become a thing until the Victorian era.
    Also a lot of real gold and silver pieces prior to 1870 didn't necessarily have hallmarks.
    An absence of a hallmark in a ring could be due to the ring being resized too.
    The final ring looks to be bohemian garnet, probably Czechoslovakia circa 1960s. The design of the rear of the ring is classic for czech jewellery of that era.
    In general, uniform small holes to let in the light and the oval, very sturdy construction.
    They were quite commonly set in low-grade gold referred to as garnet gold or gold gilt, more recent pieces are gold vermeil on silver.

    Love the show fella.. This episode did me make giggle with regards to crack lol. I do what you do - but I'm across the pond. I have been doing it for a number of years, my father is an antiques dealer so you could say its in the blood. I know many different types of dealers from China women's shoes handbags. Then I love what I do because you never know what your going to find out there. All the best.. :) I follow a few rules - does an item look good? Can it make a profit? If it does not answer those 2 questions then their is just no point!

    Yeah, I’m starting to notice that a lot of places that sell jewelry are calling things rare, which I don’t think they’re rare at all like Went to Tucson’s jam and rock show nothing seems to be rather they have tons and tons of this stuff even precious stones so I think what they do is call it rare just to jack up the price am I right or wrong about this?

    Rusty, I just stumbled across your channel.. can I say .. I absolutely LOVE IT❤. I loved the broaches on the silver platter one, I previously viewed. I love old rings and things too. Such appreciation for the items of our past. My son had the boy version of Polly pocket, I forgot the name of him. But, I remember the mini guy came inside a fold up volcano .. he had it from the early 90’s when he was about 5yrs old I got for him❤

He found crack aboit the same time and a year later he was broke, so, I’d personally say no to crack, but that’s just me. You rock rusty

      I know I pretty much held my breath tell I remembered Rusty said acronym 😂 . Then I thought a crack addict could be really BS ing us all & thinking he might be trying to start something 🤔

  • @peachyreen4550
    @peachyreen4550 Год назад +5

    I found a bracelet similar to your sapphire bracelet (Xs & Os) with the same clasp except it’s marked 925 and the sapphires are genuine (I tested) & natural. The silver appears coated and it’s probably less than 10 years old, no wear. Light can pass through the stones and I can see the inclusions, but the stones are dark blue, almost black. My question is, do you think that natural sapphires are worth more than lab created even if they’re a lower grade? 4 of the Xs have tiny diamond chips in the center, but I doubt that adds to the value. I was going to ask for $50. Just from what I described would you ask for more?

    • @RustyTheReseller
      @RustyTheReseller  Год назад +6

      That is a good and sort of difficult question. I think in general, most people would value natural stones over synthetic ones even if they are lower quality, however that doesn't mean they would be as likely or quick to sell as a piece that "looks" nicer. Know what I mean? I think that price is a good starting point for an auction if you are happy with it. Alternatively, you could set at a much higher price for a buy it now and just see if you get watchers or offers. Just depends on if you are in a hurry or are ok waiting for the optimal price...

    • @christiemoran
      @christiemoran Год назад +4

      ````````````````````Please don't sell that for $50! I would get that appraised. if the quality is as good as this one, and it has genuine, natural sapphires, it's worth a lot more than that.

    • @justincosby2258
      @justincosby2258 Год назад +3

      Yes it is worth more than $50. Just the silver may he worth near that much without the stones at all depending on thr weight. Silver is about 23 an ounce right now I with no premium on it.

    In the truck was a blue agate roaster with a concave top. That roaster could be over 90 years old and the best roaster I have ever used. I am 75 and my grandmother got it as a wedding gift and she died at 62 in the 60s’s and we used it at ll the holidays until my mother died 8 years ago. I saw a new one 40 years ago for $125.00.
