Dr. Lori is a good teacher. She gives us facts is such a way I can understand and easily remember later.
Thanks Carolynn, happy to hear I'm getting my point across :)
Put the microphone before your mouth, that's a good girl :)
Dr. Lori you're a National Treasure
She is... I think she is beyond brilliant. Smart. Sassy. Funny and interesting. I wish we had her mobile to do state by state appraisal and teaching people.
@@noradaniels470 Thanks. I travel all over the country. My schedule is always updated on my website :)
I will for it. Thank you.
Oh that coral set is amazing! So beautiful and such artistry.
As a kid I was given the broach at a yard sale. They obviously must not have known what it was. As soon as I seen it in this video my mind took me back to snapping off leaves and petals with my teeth. The horror
"You never can have enough jewelry." I love this woman!
Love you!
Dr Lori is so right about that - and what woman ever said a diamond was too big?!
@@glamdolly30 I am right! :)
@@DrLoriV ALWAYS! We love you in England, please come visit soon. X
I love learning about antique jewelry...beautiful pieces in this video...it was an art...I’ve gotten lucky quite often at thrift stores and even junk sales where I found the gem hidden in a mess of odds and ends...treasure hunting lol
Dr. Lori is wonderful! She's so knowledgeable & also funny. And she never seems to look any older! Just love her videos.
Thanks for watching! I'm not a medical doctor, but you might want to get those eyes checked :) lol
Dr. Lori 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dr. Lori is the sister I never had, but always wanted!!! I feel like I KNOW her!! She understands me LOL!!
I like the way you tell it like it is no nonsense approach. Great advice and appraisals. Your channel is great and very informative.
Glad you like them!
My best find - Italian Tri-gold bracelet I bought for 1 dollar . Yes , I said 1 dollar . Sold it for 1500.00 !!! It pays to do some research 👍
Good find! But, did you get it's actual value? What was your source? What my video for an example for future reference at ruclips.net/video/EJDKFU2m_hw/видео.html
@@DrLoriV I thought my 1499 % fold was reward enough . I'm not a greedy person. Lol
@Brenda Best I understand, but what if it was worth $15,000 (not my appraisal, just for example here to educate about researching and value) and you got $10,000? Still a deal for everyone involved. I'm trying to help you all retire early or take that trip to Fiji :) If you have the chance, please watch the video about a real life story at ruclips.net/video/EJDKFU2m_hw/видео.html.
research where, in person?
@@labeate I help a lot of resellers make money by looking at photos of their items and providing appraisals during video calls.
I just love you. Your spirit and funny way how you describe things Lori it'$ amazing. Always have fun to watching and learning new things. Mostly, because is to the point and no coloring book. Love, love and love.
Thanks Magdalena, happy to hear you enjoy the vids.
Dr. Lori, i can’t get enough of your RUclips videos! You are a wealth of knowledge!
Thanks for watching!
Wow!!! That coral set.. amazing
Lots of sales coming up so I am spending the night binge watching and learning. So interesting about the coral jewels.
The coral set is gorgeous
I know!
$800-$850?! Wow!!! That’s awesome!
ONLY bring your diamonds to a jeweler that you trust to have your jewelry secure or else the dishonest jeweler would switch your diamonds. It happens often. Be aware!!!
Belle N, so true!!!
I had to sell many of my estate pieces 10 years ago when hard times hit and I was desperate for ready cash. These were quality items, and it broke my heart to find that the most value is in precious metals, NOT diamonds, unless they are a sizeable stone or fine quality. I had some nice diamonds too, they were not chips or substandard, I had paid thousands for them but received only a fraction of what I had paid second hand!
But because gold value had gone up since I purchased the pieces I did very well on my heavy precious metals jewellery. I weighed everything before I sold it, so that I at least knew the basic scrap value at current prices.
Sadly I had to sell most pieces to a jeweller for a quick sale, that's where I lost most money (and he was the fairest jeweller I found to sell to - some of them were real rip-off merchants). I did better when selling my jewellery at auction, because my items were big, bold, quirky pieces (eg a huge 18k link bracelet from the 1940s that weighed around 80 grams), and they attracted bidding wars from ladies like me who enjoy show stopping bling.
I don't recommend selling your jewellery unless you are desperate, as I was at the time. There are few more soul destroying experiences than accepting peanuts for a beautiful diamond pendant, then walking past that jeweller's window next day and seeing it polished up and offered for sale for 6 times what they paid you for it! I always advise people to hang onto their treasures if they can because they are guaranteed to increase in value over time. Gold is a sound investment in my experience, and people will always want to own beautiful things. In my view the only down side to owning jewellery is the fear of being burgled. I never insured my jewellery collection because having collected so much over years, I simply couldn't afford the premiums! So I was very creative with hiding places for it.
This happened to my sister. Her engagement ring had a 4 ct burmese ruby in it worth $4000. She took it to a now defunct chain jewelry store and they switched the ruby out on her. She knew immediately as the stone had a very specific inclusion that she knew was there because she owned a jewelers loupe. She told the store she would be contacting a lawyer if she didn't get her specific ruby back. Took them more than a month, but she did finally get it back.
Always learning from you Dr Lori. 👍
Thanks Frieda
I love this!!!! I primarily curate and deal with Viking/Roman relics but the way you take antiquities and history and mix in comedy is so fun! I'm considered a youngster in the field but you make it fun! Move over stuffy antique shops Dr. Lori is coming for you!
Glad you enjoy the videos. I have a glass video on the channel where I appraise a piece of Roman glass. And I also talk about Viking history for the travel industry!
You are wonderful!!! Enjoy watch you on RUclips so much. I have learned so much from you. Thank you Dr.Lori and My Blessings in this coming New Year!!
Thank you Susan! Happy New Year to you too :)
I have away a lot of good quality crockery and vases to thrift store when my parents died because I couldn't keep it. No room to store the stuff. So happy that others can buy the stuff and make a few dollars. 💕 from Australia.
Loved that coral. I didn’t know it was supposed to keep you well. I learn something with every one of your videos I watch!
Happy to hear it Julia! Thanks for watching. Feel free to use the coral trivia during your next party conversation :)
Harvesting coral does not keep the oceans well.
i learned a lot, never realized if a rod goes through the pearl it’s fake, TY
Glad to know that, someday might have my strand of cultured pearls and their box from Korea in 1956 checked out by Dr. Lori.
@@NewNostalgia Happy to help. Bring them to an event. Or, send me photos using my website.
@@DrLoriV Someday, the George Sinclair inherited through my father lamp I'll send a photo of first. I am in remote mountain area out west. I am from the east, n.e. Ohio, miss it and being near the lake. Have many items from grandparents and great grandparents. My bedroom dressers are 130 or more year old Eastlake dressers. My grandfather born 1884, when age 3 in 1887 could remember not being tall enough to see the top.
@@newnostalgiasculpturesdame4270 I can look at photos. We could talk too and you can show me pieces during a FaceTime or Skype call.
Your relatable to a lot of us because it is very obvious that like us, you love your bling too. Thanks Dr. Lori!
You are so welcome! Everyone can thank me by sharing links to my videos with social media groups and friends. The more you all share, the more videos I can make each week.
I love you Dr. Lori!!!!!!!!
Happy New Year Everyone!!! I’m spending my 1st day of the new year watching unseen Dr. Lori videos and re-watching already viewed (many times lol) videos. May we ALL be blessed w/Good Health, Lots of Laughs and Much Love the whole year thru!
Crystal, Happy New Year to you too!!
I can't be the only one who wants her sweater!! ~THC
What i want to know is where those people go to yard sales at !? 🤣😉 I hope they didn't try biting them to see if the Coral was real. 😲🤪.Love ya Dr. Lori❣️🌷
Thanks Faith! It's out there, keep shopping :)
Another amazing video! Your videos are so fun to watch and learn from! I loved how you encouraged the ladies to get themselves a matching bracelet when they get their diamond prongs checked. Lol Too funny!
As always, nice to hear from you! We try to have fun :)
Coral set is absolutely gorgeous
Ohhhh now I know which item I would love for you to appraise!! I have so many items I couldn’t narrow it down.
Dr. Lori, you wouldn’t believe the stash of everything from retired Tiffany pearls 3 strand from 1989 to a damaged 1250$ Chanel bracelet. Oh, and my most recent find is a 3k pomellato necklace in platinum. Such fun. I have so much old sterling
Dr.Lori is amazing is unbelievable how much she knows .wow respect from Finland
Thanks Migjen for watching and commenting. I expect to return to Finland later this year. Love the strawberries in the summer :)
@@DrLoriV Send me the date when it is decided the date of arriving and i be happy to take you for a coffee,With love from Migjen. Have a great evening with lot of respect.
:)
Love the coral. Beautiful
Yes
I Love all your videos, Dr. LORI !
As always, thanks Rita!
I like that you bring up "do you like it?" "Do you wear it?", there is a value to that! My mother has several diamond rings that were handed down to her from my grandmother. One of them is probably worth a lot more than the other, but I really love the one that is worth less. I find it beautiful and I would wear it all the time. To me the one that has less monitary value actually is the more valuable of the two and the one it would make more sense for me to inherit.
That last one - the pearl earrings!! 😅 Dr. Lori is hilarious 🤣
So much to learn from Dr Lori.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Please share links with friends so they can learn too!
Dr. Lori is amazing I’ve learned so much
Thanks for watching Lynn.
I really enjoy your appraisal videos 🙋🏼🙏✝️💕✅
Thanks Margaret
Love the info about pearls and I love your videos!
Thank you so much! I have a couple of vids about pearls and we're editing a new one to go live soon. Also, I have an article on my website on pearls if you are interested.
Dr. Lori was so kind regarding the WW2 era pearl earrings... what a rip ! But, they were a gift from sisters, which makes them special.
Stop advertising thrift stores I can hardly find anything now! Everybody's going there and it's so cool now. LOL
Dawn, no need to worry! Keep shopping :) There is plenty of stuff to find. There is always someone who throws away a valuable because they don't care to find out what they really have or they just don't care or have the time. It then ends up in a thrift store waiting for you to find it!!
You're right, people are much more clued up about vintage jewellery (and antiques generally) than they ever were, thanks to TV shows like 'The Antiques Roadshow' and I have to say, lovely media experts like Dr Lori! Ebay too has swallowed up many of the bargains that once would have lurked in thrift stores. I take heart from Dr Lori's promise that there are still a few gems to be found out there, both literally and metaphorically speaking!
@@glamdolly30 Thanks for the comment. Some might be clued in, but there are so many bargains out there, especially on eBay. How do I know? People are always bringing their finds to me at my events and I'm appraising their finds from photos submitted on my website. People are buying things online and at thrift stores and flipping them for my appraised values. It's actually easier now to find bargains since a lot is online.
@@DrLoriV Well I'm a big fan of Ebay estate jewellery, so that's reassuring to hear. I know I have bought quite a few bargains, which would have cost several times the price had I bought them new or from swanky second hand jewellery shops with big outgoings to maintain their shop fronts!
Yeah, greedy flippers are pricing out the people who actually need thrift items. Now, if you find something nice, it is either outrageously priced or a broken pos. Especially SA and GW.... They're the greediest of all considering they are GIVEN the items. There absolutely should be a legal percentage cap that non-profits can charge for items they are GIVEN, so that it is fair for everyone.
You are an amazing teacher Dr. Lori 😊😊😊🙂🙂
Thank you! 😃
Always impressed by you!
Thanks Pam
I remember Dr. Lori from Auction Kings TV show. 👏
Fun! Still in reruns!!
Tfs..great information as always..⛄🌲⛄💕Dr.Lori
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to share the videos/knowledge!
This is a fun show :)
Goodwill picks through everything
Hi Melissa, they miss a lot of stuff. I know because people shop there and then bring their finds to my events. Keep shopping for those finds everywhere :) Thanks for commenting!
The employeeS keep it ALL.
@@suzanneblaylock9598 Have you watched my Real Bargains videos? The employees are missing a lot of good stuff by pricing things too low.
I love learning and knowledge and……..collecting, it’s easy to take in your information thank you for your videos. new subscriber.
My mom has the dragon teapot at the end of the video. I can remember getting into trouble several times when I was little for just wanting to look at "the lady" in the bottom of the cup.
lol
Thank you for your time and info

I love when she roasts people
I roast people?
Good tips on jewelry thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos are always great! 👍👍👍
Thank you very much! Don't forget to share them!
You are one of the best out on the planet.
Wow, thanks. There are many more who have done greater things :)
@@DrLoriV Yes , I am sure but not many actually give you the real scoop without a hidden agenda...for example your piece is only xyz, then rob you .I purchased a second hand/antique store in a small community...the thieves from the other shops were all around me. I could not take how crooked they all were...it now sits idle while my husband pays the tab...ouch !
PLUS YOU ARE THE BEST DEAL ON THE PLANET HANDS DOWN!!. I am gathering and photographing my collections/paintings ect... would NOT trust any one else....even if all of them were worth little to nothing..rather have an honest appraisal!!!
@@donnariggs1567 I appreciate the comments. Don't forget to help others by telling your story.
Love you Lori! I have some earrings similar the first pearl set that I found at garage sale...paid maybe 5 bucks. Can't wait to show them and the video to my sceptical husband! Lol
Love you! Thanks for subbing. Tread lightly with skeptical spouses if you are under stay at home orders :)
@@DrLoriV lets just say he is like leading a mule when its time to buy or sell.
Thank YOU for educational video 💖🙏💖
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to share the videos so others can learn too :)
Absolutely 🤗
I love your videos. Very enjoyable.
Glad you like them!
Wow amazingggggg
Dr Lori in Australia thrift stores send all the stuff thats valuable and/or antique to the auctions it would be very very rare to find anything thats even a little valuable
That may be the case in theory, but in doing this for over three decades, I've seen thrift stores and auctions miss valuables all the time. So, a thrift store that doesn't use my appraisals will unknowingly miss a valuable and leave it in their store for you to find when shopping. Keep looking, it's out there :)
I have found valuable stuff in Aussie op shops
@@DrLoriV wow Ty for the reply Dr Lori Hope you have a wonderful Christmas
@@dustmite723 OMG where ?????
i just find a whole load of junk occasionally a little silver like 1 earring lol lol
@@Misssssysparkles Thanks Missy. Hope you enjoy the holidays too :)
Totally binge watch
there are more videos to binge.
This is one awesome woman! I would love to meet her in person, however living on an island in the middle of the Western pacific, this will never come to fruition. Found her channel on RUclips while perusing history channels! Lucky me! Anyways, Dr. Lori is very informative, candid, direct and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your education/expertise on the many objects that have come your way. I now look at many finds I come across with a "different eye". ♥️🌴
Welcome Tina! Love to meet you!! You never know, I travel a lot :)

I can never find the links or the shopping link. I’m not tech wise at all
@@cheryllietzau1153 Go to my website and check out the Specials page. The link to the Specials page is on everyone one of my pages at the top menu area
I'm a little more educated now as always.....with every video thank you
Glad to hear it! Thank me and help others by sharing links to my videos with friends and social media groups.
Dr Lori, What time era is more likely to have produced screw post earrings vs posts with no threads and just the single notch with tapered end and slide on stopper? I'm having a difficult time finding anything to go on since there's no o hallmark . Thanks so much for your time and attention, I adore watching you get excited about something because I know it's a rare and potentially valuable find!
Thanks for watching. I can identify your earrings. Can you send me photos? Bring them to an event?
Will do buckaroo! I will be at the event in Humble texas next month and one of my dearest friends Michael is the producer for the morning show you will be appearing on so hopefully I can make it out to that as well. I look forward to meeting you, Hillary Marek
HOW DID I NOT DISCOVER YOU BEFORE
Welcome
It's amazing what there is in Canada too! Have found many treasures here where thrift shops did not know what they were. Best example, Dinh Van by cartier vintage 70s 18k gold necklace and pendant found in a 5 dollars in a mix up of random jewellery in a bag. Also nice Georg Jensen sterling brooches etc etc etc! Small samples of the treasures found! If you know what to look for you can do well!
Yes, Mary, the stuff is still out there. Why? Because there is always someone who just wants to throw stuff away without having me value it honestly for them :) Keep shopping!
@@DrLoriV Hey Dr Lori!! Thanks for commenting!! Love u!! Just to let you know I also get mad when I see dealers ripping off people. I have been to many a garage sale or estate sale and have found things mostly jewellery that i hand to the estate companies saying I wonder if owner meant to sell this. I have a problem with folk buying like that. I restrict my finds to thrift stores. Even then if there is a real find, I often mention it especially if the charity is one that does so much good for the community!! The pieces i mentioned were found in jewellery bag cast off lots!! Blessings to u for the New Year!!!
@@sunshine000000ful1 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My point was that family members throw away other family members stuff when they pass away or they take it to the thrift store because they don't want to be bothered. I help those families settle estates, shoppers like you, the thrift stores who resell, estate sale sellers and dealers too.
@@DrLoriV love your videos and love u!!!
I am so excited. I have just subscribed to your channel. I am in lockdown and in sydney and am thrilled to be participating and learning with you Lori. If u are able could you p,ease recommend where in sydney Australia i could purchase the jewellery lock and a diamond gager. Many many thanks. This is the very first channel i have ever subscribed to and I am so excited.
Welcome! You may check out my recommendations on my website. Look for the Specials & Shop link in the menu section at the top of my website pages.
Awesome
Loveee
Loved this edition. One thing I remember in the last segment (Stinky fish pearl) is in a previous video, you discussed the fact that styles are more popular on anniversaries. When the 100th Anniversary comes along in about twenty-ish years, is there any way to estimate that increase in the value?
Kind of like the stock markets. Hard to predict how much in the future, but you know your Disney and Google stock are good investments. Make sense?
I love how you keep it real!! You are my favorite, and I just love watching your videos! I hope to meet you someday, and have you check out my thrift store finds!!!
Thank you so much!!
Very interesting
Was there something that surprised you?
@@DrLoriV Thanks, I learned something about pearls made from fish bone, I did not know that until now.
Like the info but. So do the ones who give or yard sale
Wow!!! I was at a thrift store yesterday and saw some very old jewelry and didn’t get it... 😱
Watch, learn, shop for finds!
Dr. Lori 🤗
Omg, I would have assumed that because those earrings had a newer type of ear hook, that they weren’t even old or vintage 😬.
Coral
Tiny photo of the coral looked like a chicken tenders serving from a no name deli. Glad to see it larger in photo.
lol
@@DrLoriV was only my first impression. Some day I'll send a photo of what is said to be a hand made lamp of wood with green glass sides. Very old plug and light bulb inside. No marks on bottom only horribly scratched George Sinclair. A friend he worked with in manufacture of Winton Autos in Cleveland Ohio made it and George bought it.
@@newnostalgiasculpturesdame4270 Maybe you were hungry when you saw it? :) Send me the photo using my website!
There's a pewter pitcher sitting on the table when she puts down the Pearl earrings. I need to know about that item!
I can identify and value your pewter pitcher. Send me photos, schedule a video chat or bring it to one of my events!
I found 2 sets of Vaseline dishes at a thrift store. 16 for BOTH sets.
Keep shopping! It's all there :)
I found a return to Tiffany and co. Necklace. I guess it's a necklace it's on a big chain and a pair Tiffany and Co. Earings at a thrift store but you can't get anything out of selling where I live.
Have you watched my videos about reselling? Read my tips on my website?
Unfortunately then goodwill stores where I live right now stopped selling jewelry in stores. I asked one of their employees the reason behind that decision and I was told she didn’t know but I could still buy jewelry online. I guess goodwill wanted to sort what’s valuable from what’s junk and probably hired a group of experts to take care of that.
Don't assume they hired experts. They haven't contacted me to help :) I help a lot of resellers.
Dr. Lori i love watching your videos. I have what i believe to have an early teacup and saucer made by Homer Laughlin, I believe it to from 1911 Empress E-1715, If i am reading the mark on the back correctly that is. I know that you are very busy, but your opinion would be greatly appreciated.
I can help but need to see the pieces to verify what you really have. Can you send me photos?
@@DrLoriV yes ma'am , on here or where to?
@@robinpoeling Use the form on my website
If coral is damaged or has a defect can it be repaired? Or would it need to be replaced? If so, how much would this impact the value of the piece (in this case a Victorian era ring)?
Good question! Any natural material, like coral, if damaged or replaced will impact the value of the piece. If the coral in a Victorian ring, circa 1837-1901, is replaced with a new piece of coral then the value would be reduced significantly. I can look at your ring to identify and value it if you like.
❤️👍😃
Dr. Lori, what do you think of jewelry set in rhodium over sterling silver? A fan? No? Rhodium is close to platinum, yes?
And thanks for another marvelous video!
Overlay metals for jewelry remain popular with collectors
Dr.Lori your so good! When bans are lifted do you think you'll make a visit to Washington state. I have two rings I would like your opinion! Or can you look at photos to I'd. What would you charge? I love to watch you in life when every is well and happy. Thank you Wanda
Thanks for watching. I was in Seattle at the CenturyLink Center right before stay at home orders. I do look at photos and you can show me items during video calls too. All the details and my schedule too are on my website.
@@DrLoriV Thank you for your reply. I will be in contact with you. I do have a question for you. If a stone in a ring has flea nips around the edge can it be repaired? I have researched this and cannot find any information on this type of repair. Thank you stay safe and happy! Wanda
@@wandaneff5833 Nice to chat! With the ring, I'd have to see it to offer my thoughts.
Hello again! Been binge watching your videos on you tube. The 3 things that hold value you said were art, jewelry and furniture. Well I just came into possession of a ring. I bought a ring and wedding band for $500. The card from IGI says estimated for just the engagement ring retail is $4,265. I went to a local jewelry store and a wedding band similiar to one I have goes for $600-800 retail new.
So the million dollar question I have is do you have any idea how I sell this ring for the most money? Jewelers are not interested at all in a used ring. The guy I purchased from said retail jewelers would only give him $400(ring is 14k white gold, so is band with half diamonds). I have tried eBay but only get offers for $825...so where do I sell for a thousand?(can I get 2 thousand?) Thanks.
Bill, I offer many selling tips on my website and blog. You may find those helpful.
Thank you Dr. Lori! I am curious about the first pair of pearl earrings. What kind of backing did it have? Was it pierced, clip, if pierced what shape was it? A straight post? When did pierced earrings come into fashion?
The first pair of earrings had a straight back suitable for pierced ears.
Pierced earrings date back to the ancient Egyptians. Mummified remains of some of the Egyptian pharaohs, including King Tut, had pierced ears.
@@DrLoriV Wow! I did not know that about the Egyptians. My mom was very squeamish about pierced ears. She had a negative opinion of them leading me to believe the were rather new. Plus my grandmothers had clip back earrings and most people my grandparents age that I had met. Thank Dr. Lori for being so generous in sharing your comedic style and wealth of knowledge!
@@kristeyh2761 Always happy to hear that you are engaged :) Please don't forget to share the knowledge by sharing the videos!
Lori...please tell me how a home visit costs
Please contact my staff using my website about the current fees and details. They also handle scheduling. Most visits only take 1 hour for me to look at everything in a typical home.
Can you educate me/ us about post earrings that are collectable/ vintage, I found a couple I love, they have the channel look, but no mark, so how do you ? Also do another video for those other ones that have no mark but it says JAPAN but have this 18 & 19 hundreds! Back clips!
Many factors affect value. I can appraise your jewelry. Need to see it. Send me photos at www.drloriv.com/find-values/online/online-appraisal-form/ or schedule a video call at www.drloriv.com/find-values/from-your-video-call/. See how on my website.
Thank you, but if I have antique jewelry, how can I sell them without risk and with adequate price?
Many use my online appraisal reports to help them sell pieces. The reports show you a location where a similar piece sold and for how much.
How do I sell my finds in order to get the full value of them?
Many people use my online appraisal reports to help them sell their pieces for my appraised values. The reports include a location where a similar item was sold and for how much. I also offer a lot of selling tips on my website.
Dr Lori, do you do valuations? I have a ring that I brought for cheap and have no idea of the stone/glass. It's set on 18ct gold but that's the end of my knowledge.
When I brought it the lady said it was a purple amethyst but when you put it in Natural light it turn bright blue.
Very unusual :-)
Yes, I look at photos, do video chats, visit homes and as you see from the video you can bring pieces to my events!
@@DrLoriV thank you.
Since I'm located in Darwin Australia I'll have to settle with photos and videos... unless you want a place to stay while on holidays ;-)
@@warfe79 I've been to Australia. Get a museum, fair, festival, convention, etc. to invite me back and host my show! That's how my events get booked :)
So Dr.Lori, Question: are you saying that real pearls can all be the same size and color be the same on the same exact necklace ❓
Good question to ask during my live videos. Have you watched my most recent video on looking at pearls using a loupe? Check it out at ruclips.net/video/wnlULpQxLPM/видео.html
My daughter bought a "Cartier" bracelet from a consignment shop. It had the box, the tool that opens the clasp etc. We just thought it was a good look alike...but the more we started researching if it was real....the more we realized it meets all the Cartier website requirements. We don't have the money right now to have it inspected, but it's not leaving her wrist. She won't take it off for anything.
At many of my events, the host pays for appraisals by me. Can you afford that?
How can you tell coral
Good question to ask during my next Ask Dr. Lori LIVE video.
Who are the buyerS? Where to we go to Sell it for $2,ooo ?
My online appraisal reports show you where a buyer bought a similar piece for my appraised value. One client used my reports to sell a plate for over $1,000. They bought it at a yard sale for $1.
Dr lori is there an item you would like to appraise you haven't seen yet!?
Good question. I’ve seen a lot, I’m not sure what that piece might be.
How to find buyers for these type items?
I offer many videos on the channel about reselling, have articles on my website about reselling and even offer classes on the subject.
