    That was fun to watch. I liked the plastic beads with the stripes! Sort of psychedelic. But you should definitely keep and wear the bee necklace.

    Hi Sandra!
    Loved the video as usual.
    My favorite piece is the same as yours. I love, love all those different things hanging on one chain.
    I remember you love your bug jewelry , but please, PLEASE don't take the bee off that tiger eye!! The artist placed it there for a reason. I really think it would take away from the piece. But you know, all of this is only my opinion. You do what your heart desires and that's OK with me too! Thank you for all that you do! ❤️

      I know!! It’s funny you say that, there were two women who I’ve never seen working there before. I hope to see them again! Lol. Cheers

    Great haul! You never know what you might find at a thrift store!!! I loved the gold opal earrings and the opal pendant necklace. The antique bee necklace was wonderful! I also liked the purple amethyst necklace. I recently found a gold filled shell cameo bracelet at a thrift store for only $8.00. You never know, that is what is so much fun!

    Love the gold and natural opal earrings! And the interesting necklace with the bee pendant. The lovely sterling opal necklace at 15:30 is lab opal.

    • @lisacrandall409
      @lisacrandall409 Год назад

      I also really like the multicoloured stone bead necklace and the cloisonné heart necklace - both looked great on the neck!

  • @robynfox478
    @robynfox478 Год назад +1

    I'd say the previous owner had difficulty in opening the ring clasps, so had the magnetised clasp fitted to make life easier.

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Год назад

      Absolutely. I actually use them occasionally myself! I have a few on hand. Thanks!!!!

    Great finds, the colours in the opal piece are fabulous.

  • @samanthafairweather9186
    @samanthafairweather9186 Год назад +1

    All those pieces were stunning! You did so well.
    Just a bit of info on the opal pendant. The opal pieces are blue/ green , flagstone patterned , dark crystal opal. And I'm 99.9% certain it's Australian opal. It is an amazing piece which really showcases the beauty of the opal.
    The Wedgewood Egg pendant, on a 24inch sterling chain sells for around $150 US dollars. I just thought I'd let you know about that one as well.
    My fave pieces, (I can't pick just one) are definitely the opal pendant, the sterling and moonstone heart, the amber pendant, the pretty beaded black heart necklace, and definitely that one of a kind necklace.
    I hope you enjoy your lovely finds!! ❤️

  • @Rachelakalilyworks

    Woowwe! That first necklace you pulled out of the box! I would totally keep that treasure! Awesome

  • @annettewilson7855
    @annettewilson7855 Год назад

    I agree with taking the bee pendant off and making it it’s own pendant and necklace. Great find.

  • @WildCardTraders
    @WildCardTraders Год назад +1

    The stone beads could possibly be rainbow tourmaline.... There are some nice plastic necklaces out there.. Honestly the big ones need to be plastic or you get a neck ache.....I love the Wedgewood egg.. my grandma used to have those flowers

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Год назад +1

      I agree that plastic is more comfy if it’s a chunky necklace. For sure! Thanks for your input and thanks for watching. Have a good one. 😊

  • @debrarobertson6900
    @debrarobertson6900 Год назад +1

    At 7:09, looks more like a “koi” fish, a type of carp. So nicely carved - red jade, as you say, or carnelian? Each piece and charm is unique, right down to the dangles 😍

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Год назад

      That is interesting, could be koi for sure. I will check it out further to be sure. Cheers

    • @robincollins4687

      I agree on the koi. Foo Dogs look like lions to me, sometimes like dragons.

    Great finds! Especially the 925 silver/opal with oval pendant necklace...wow. Also like the necklace with the black twisty/shiny beads and cloissonne heart. Of course the One with all the different antique charms was the showstopper.

    @monikan5071 8 месяцев назад +1

    Wow what a treasure box 😍🤩 . Yes, I think Indian Agate (that beaded necklace at 13min). And the green/pink chip necklace is unakite ( my spelling might be off, sorry).

  • @lisadelatorre5013

    @susanamann1124 Год назад +1

    Beautiful wedge wood egg, the silver charm on first necklace could be wine or water skin, such a cool necklace, love magnets, very good for people with arthritis like me

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Год назад

      Yes, necklace and bracelets can be tricky even without arthritis, so these magnet things are great to have. A found a few at a yard sale years ago and I do use them once in a while. Hugs, Sandra

  • @Mellelllen
    @Mellelllen Год назад

    Nice Haul! The green and pink stone is Unakite and is said to have healing properties of some sort. The Australian opal is stunning!

  • @jacqueschneider8444
    @jacqueschneider8444 Год назад +1

    So I call this a “virgin” jewelry box. My favorite! I sometimes find them at estate sales that aren’t done by professional companies. I’m surprised that you found this at a thrift store. Lucky timing 😉 Thank you for sharing! So exciting to see. My favorite is the assemblage piece. It’s stunning and made with beautiful antique components. ❤

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Год назад +1

      I call them virgin too haha. Nobody else looked at it and I was the only one standing nearby. I think it helped that I offered $40. If I said $10 or $20 I don’t think they would’ve gone for it. Hugs!!

  • @briansummers1270
    @briansummers1270 Год назад

    The gorgeous green multicolored large bead necklace might be imperial jasper.

  • @janehauer5194
    @janehauer5194 Год назад

    I do like some plastic necklaces, and that one is a beaute! The amethyst looks kind of native-made. Maybe a better examination of the clasp? great luck with the gold, esp the bee! I think the pretty beaded necklace is a mixture of Indian jasper and maybe some agates...like the length on it.

    @kaz0000us Год назад +1

    I think you must have a horseshoe hidden on your person(lol).There’s no way where I live, thrift store employees would just sell the jewelry box with all the jewelry in it. They’re not naive to do that and check every item including underwear (no lie) before they put things out on the floor. Tough as a reseller in the Chicago area. Really nice necklaces😊!!

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Год назад

      Thanks. There are thrifts near me that have crazy prices. Seriously I just shake my head. I don’t usually go to those. They make me mad! Haha. Happy hunting, I am lucky I have found a few places that sell stuff cheaply. Cheers!

  • @glitzymeri5128

    @Sulzie65 Год назад

    Great finds. Is the acid test fallable when using clean surface? I tested a bangle at 10k very clearly 10k then the buyer claimed it was not. It was gold underneath as well meaning no other metal color was seen. They got a deal on it. Of course full refund and they are sending back. I feel like a switcheroo was done. We will see.

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Год назад +1

      It is not a perfect method, as some items are heavily plated in gold with a base metal underneath. When you get it back, take it to a pawn store and tell them you are thinking selling it. They should know for sure. Although one time I took a very necklace to a pawn store and he said he couldn’t buy it u less he cut it in half! He wanted to be absolutely sure. I didn’t let him do it. Good luck to you and that for watching.
