- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Look, I'm a simple magpie, and if you tell me the entire vintage costume jewelry case has just gone from 50 percent down to 70 percent off, I can't be held responsible for what happens next. Unique Judy Lee, Kramer, and Juliana pieces for a steep discount? I'm gonna have to say yep yep yep, add to basket please!

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching!
The difference is this:
If someone is showing off contemporary stuff, and they paid full price, or got free stuff for promoting it, that’s crass.
If someone is showing me something uncommon or antique and explaining some context, and telling me prices so that I have a better understanding of the market… that’s useful. It’s more like browsing a thrift or antique shop with a knowledgeable friend, and listening to them info dump on a favourite subject.
Do I like all the same pieces you do? Nope. But your excitement and knowledge/curiosity - excellent content.
Thank you Lynn! I can confirm that I am annoying at antique stores becuase I will tell you about everything, I'm the know it all of the antique mall 🤣
I am not watching this and simultaneously browsing any bidding page with costume jewelry, nope, not sure why you asked 😆 Love to watch other people's steals. ❣
These pieces are all so cool! I don’t personally mind haul videos when it is something like this. This is less of a “look at how rich I am and how much stuff I can obtain” and more of a “look at these beautiful one of a kind relics I discovered,” so yes I am so here for it!
Thank you Jess!
Gauche as it is, I love haul/collection videos. I love hearing about what people treasure and the joy that they find in what they collect. You do a great job with them Bianca and please make as many of them as you feel like doing! They’re so much fun.
P.S. love the makeup! I just got in an order from JD glow and the greens I got are absolutely stunning! So thanks for the recommendations
Thank you Kelly!
When I was little I *loved* looking through my grandma's jewelry. She had many pieces similar to what you picked up. She got rid of many of them over the years but I do have a few. Thanks for reminding me of happy memories!
Me too! My grandmother had some beautiful pieces and I wish I still had them.
I have a similar memory, and my grandma has always had a jewelry armoire which was like Narnia for accessories 😍✨ I blame her for my addiction 😂
@@TheClosetHistorian I now need a Narnia armoire for accessories.
"the house will go around the jewelry" omg you make me laugh every time, you're 100% correct, magpies forever
Costume jewelry haul video? More like guilty pleasure to watch at 8 pm. :))))))
Gorgeous collection of jewelry. Don't blame you for indulging a little spree. Also really love your ensemble today from your makeup to you blouse. I love those thrifting days when you stumble upon a great clearance and wonderful pieces.
Thank you Denise! My best thrift shop find still has to be a Lalique vase (an 1980s reissue with a small chip, but still) that I found for $4.99 on my birthday one year ✨
i love hauls. part of the joy of being a treasure-hunter is seeing what other hunters have discovered.
I love haul videos. I can't do much shopping so I like to feel like I'm shopping vicariously through these kind of videos. I am not a jewelry wearer but I do appreciate beautiful things. So for me, this video is super fun.
Thank you Carron!
I think now I feel like you should use some more "pastel" holographic colors for your ongoing color block obsession cause well just cause lmao Great finds! I found a Tivoli brooch in great condition in a $5 basket at an antique mall once. My then husband wouldn't let me buy it until I sat in Barnes & Nobles for 2 hours looking through a collectors book to find it. It was worth over $200 he immediately said let's go get it. It was gone of course. I always thought he was a twat for refusing to let me spend $5. That controlling shit is one of the many many reasons he's my ex husband.
Oh no! One more reason for me to avoid husbands like the plague! 🧛♀️
My goodness, that whole set of earrings, brooch and bracelet you put together with the red stones is simply DIVINE. I can imagine all that worn with a red silk satin jacket or a red velvet jacket.
Of course we love haul videos and vintage jewellery - well...we're here, aren't we?
I love whatever you do. Sewing tutes, hauls, lookbooks, collections...you're informative, interesting and entertaining and all that makes your work thoroughly enjoyable!
Thank you so much Kaytie!! ❤️
reasonable🤣 I know how you feel , how can you resist, I could not either ..enjoy😍
those pieces are abfab.
have you made a video about how to buy costume jewelry?
Kinda? I have a video going over my general price guide for vintage here ruclips.net/video/r1vf4Uf52V8/видео.html But in general I just get on Etsy and have fun 😂
I love haul videos and don't think they are cringy at all. Please keep 'em coming! 🇨🇦
Thank you Donna!
Yes, you did right to pick those up. I know I would have bought way too much, I'm a sucker for a sale like that! Loved what you got! Thanks for sharing.
I highly recommend Dracula the ballet, so beautiful and a little bit raunchy ;-) the red necklace would be very fitting. I got to go a couple of years ago and LOVED the opportunity to get my grown up glam goth frocks out for the theatre
Oh my gosh!!! I have something similar to the first set in red in green tones from Weiss that was my grandmother’s!!
Mmm green weiss sounds lovely! 💚
Bianca, your “haul” videos are filled with so much product knowledge! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Joan!
I love the fabric of your blouse? dress? It’s to die for😍 Really nice haul! I don’t comment often but I love your channel.🇨🇦
Thank you Lori! ❤
The black bracelet made my head explode. Quadruple WOW gorgeous. The topaz colored necklace would really sparkle on one of your lovely high neckline black dresses.
Have to say, very pretty pieces, but your look matching the outfit - just stunning.
Thank you Steffi!
I too am a Dragon Hoarder... so fun hearing someone else refer to themselves as that!
LOL!
“But…you know…the house will go around the jewelry.”
😂😂
That 1940s bracelet could be sterling it could have a rhodium plating over it. In the 40s jewelry companies used sterling instead of base metals because of the war. Great pick ups.
Excellent! My Sister calls me "matchy matchy" all the time. What a hoot when you kept repeating it. You're a joy!!! Thanks for sharing your haul!
I am quite pedantic about my matches 🤣 Thank you!
Forget the diamonds. Just give me all the sparkle. Love it.
"Oh no..." is such a mood. Same.
That red set is stunning!!! Sparkles and red? It doesn't get any better!
I adore your Show n' Tells!
Love your collection, beautiful x x X thank you for sharing x x
Congrats on the bargain finds! I am absolutely seething with jealousy 😈 but I also seethe with delight to see you sharing your haul with us. Thanks for the show & tell. Hopefully your luck will share along, too 🤞🏼
Thank you!
I’m here for this haul!
ETA I’ve been looking into inexpensive plating machines on eBay and I wonder if these pieces would be receptive to plating 🤔 With real gold being as expensive as it is now…I have a few herringbone anklets, bracelets and a chain that is starting to wear. Hmmmm I may have to look into this!
Oh those Montana blue earrings and ALL the bracelets... lucky you!
i have a broach that was my mothers, when I wear it I always get compliments, I also have a silk scarf as well which always has great memories of her.
that yellow 😍
"Pokemon Sensibilities "... I'm dying....🤣🤣🤣
Costume jewellery is not really my bag, but your enthusiastic descriptions of these pieces and why you love them so much makes mesmerising viewing! Good luck with saving for a house - with any saving goal you have to balance self-restraint with also having a life, so I think every so often a splurge on stuff that makes you happy is entirely justified 😊
Thank you Mara!
I love your style. I am lucky enough to have all my Grandmothers and my Great Aunts costume jewelry. Gorgeous.
If I was ever in your area, could I just go with you to a theater thing? I cannot guarantee that I will be era dressed in the same decade, but it might be fun.
I have a neck charm t the black one , ill have to look
I don't know why I clicked on this video cause i don't know anything about antique jewellery but I loved this video ! The pieces are really pretty !
Thank you!
So lovely! Once again I will live vicariously through you because my stupid special snowflake skin reacts to just about any metal that's not solid 925 sterling or at least 14K gold. So glad you are here to show us the glitz and glam! 😃
I love seeing peoples jewellery collections, this was great. So many lovely pieces
Thank you!
I love that you collect to enjoy and not make money off of them.
Love eye 🍬 candy!!
👁️👁️🤓🍬🍬👀👀
Fantastic costume jewelry. The red necklaces would be perfect to wear to the Dracula ballet. (I've seen it twice). If I get to see Dracula ballet again, I would wear my Grandmother's 1960s red Murano glass necklace
Awesome!! I am addicted to collecting and wearing costume jewelry. Wonderful finds esp loved the Kramer brooch. Thank you for sharing
That blue and silver brooch is so extremely gorgeous!!
Ah…dragon hoarder…a perfect description for my own hoarded joys. I am so happy for you
I LOVE a good deal and WOW did you walk into a wonderful one. Your purchases are lovely and will look fabulous with whatever you choose to wear them with. The gold and red necklaces will look terrific with Fall colors, black, red; lots of fun.
Okay, I'm dead. The spectacular finds!
We have the same taste in vintage costume jewelry. I love everything you got! Absolutely love your style too... your top or dress is awesome, love the color.
Thank you Katharine!
I love vintage jewelry 😍 myself. A few years ago a older lady in her late 80's ran her church bazzar for 40 + yrs . Her daughter didn't want her vintage treasures. I bought 2 shoes boxes full of custom jewelry from 40's- 60's I spent $200. For all . Not bad for a small town church. Talk about Christmas. . I'm one happy lady ..
It's good it went to someone who would adore them!
Wow!! That is an exciting haul! I love the black and rhinestone bracelet and the purple signed broach is beautiful! What great deals - impossible to resist. Xo 🎆🎇❇️✨❇️✨J.
Lovely haul video! The joy on your face while describing them makes me happy 😊 and thank you for the information on construction. I wish that I had that pretty plastic pheasant I once saw. Perfect size to pin a scarf like an ascot.
Fortunately I have told my husband enough not to buy me expensive jewelry that I will not wear that he does not do that. Buying jewelry that you love and will wear is so much better. Really enjoyed the pieces.
Exactly! ✨ Thank you!
its fun to see what vintage jewelry does look like
Great looking pieces and I love the idea of jewellery as an investment! 👍👍
Awesome score.
Must say, that red rhinestone looks FABULOUS with the green that you are wearing. And yes! Very vampiric! I have a few real pieces, but much like a corvid, my Edwardian heart is drawn to the cheap, shiny glass. I have enough colored glass just waiting to become jewelry that I could easily re-glaze all of Notre Dame's windows. Love this haul! And Such Prices!!!
Thank you Michelle! I went antiquing again with a friend last weekend and two of the employees (dudes) at one antique mall were very high and mighty about thinking costume jewelry "has no value" when I asked to see something in a case 🙄 More for me fellas!
@@TheClosetHistorian 🤭😁 YES! Happy to take all this crap off your hands, guys.
Never apologise for what you like. When I was working my favourite accessories were costume jewellery. I loved that stuff and still have it. You scored with the 70% off. Talk about jagged it!
Thanks Teresse! The same booth was now 90% when I went back last Saturday...so I may have picked up a few more things 😂
Targets of opportunity! I always keep a little stash of cash squirreled away for those right-place-right-time serendipities, cos you never know!
This is an excellent policy! ✨
Wow! So beautiful!! I am so happy for you!
Thank you!
Vintage hauls are some of my favorites! It doesn't carry the same baggage that the more popular fast fashion or amazon hauls do.
Yes it does feel like a different animal as at least it's kinda recycling 😂
thank you for the lovely video! makes me want to visit my local vintage shop soon. your videos give me such peace & comfort in these times. thanks again ♡
Thank you! ❤️
I still love a good haul video and this checked all the boxes! Those are amazing pieces! And your outfit, hair and makeup are exquisite!
Thank you Laurie!
You hit the jackpot! I have been in love with AB stones forever.
I mean, a haul of vintage jewelry is very different from a Shein paid video!
I would have jump on that opportunity too!
I love shiny stuff 😍
Thanks Meg! It went down to 90% last Saturday...so I grabbed most of the good stuff left even if it ends up going in my Etsy shop since I'm nearly out of storage space 😅
Hi, You are just so lucky to find those pieces. Then again luck is the point where knowledge intersect with opportunity, so good for you. There was only one or two I wouldn't wear, and please do keep the earrings being clips. So many people convert ear clips to studs, which means that people like me can't join the fun, and I feel discriminated😉😊. I quite like the AB stones too, if they are good quality they sparkle like nothing else. And the broches... so lovely. Thank you for sharing your loot. Yours, Ann
“ to be a dragon 🐉 hoarder” lol me too
Hi..Thanks for posting.
Your eye makeup is Awesome.
The snake on the wall is so cool.
You Scored big time.
Thank you!
PS
Congrats on 82k plus subscribers!!
🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Have just discovered your channel - my Debbie loves your personal style.
I love all your choices! I'm saving dor a house too but can't pass up a bargain!!! I wish we had more choice of amazing pieces in Australia!
Swooning over all of it.
I think I've got some of that pinky faux opal in my grandmother's costume jewelry, I'll have to go through them again
love your lipstick. and while i'm not a fan of acid green on the eyes, you always do such a great job in application/blending and making your make up look great. i do like the blue on the under side.
Thank you!
100% with you on costume vs 'real' jewellery! I love the colour and creativity of pieces that use beads, rhinestones, & semi-precious stones. And being low(ish) cost isn't just good for managing on a limited budget? It also reduces some stress around things breaking or being lost. Even the most loved pieces do seem to eventually go missing through breakage, clasp failure, or even moving house... At least one's only left mourning their sentimental & aesthetic value, and not having to deal with major insurance issues or $$ losses?
Good Job on such an amazing jewelry haul. 😻👍 Outstanding collection !!! 😻
Thank you Dolores! I had fun for sure 😂
That blue rhinestone brooch 🥰
All of these are beautiful. Love the braclets.
Thank you!
I love all the pieces you found, That is awesome you found on such a great sale. My husband found a beautiful real opal necklace, it was on oval opal slightly larger than a quarter, and 14 kt Italian gold, and another rose zirconium on 14 kt gold, he got them at a garage sale for $1.50! Yep. He was curious to see if the opal was real and he had it appraised, it was worth $6,000, and I could not believe it. And it is my birthstone too. We used to go to garage sales all the time, finally had to stop because he just kept bring stuff home we did not need! Anyway, I have a lovely collection of random rhinestone costume jewelry and I like wearing costume, Hubby has a better "eye" for some nicer pieces. He always looked for signature stuff. I did not care that it had to be signed. Of course enjoy when we get to see when you have new jewelry, shoes, bags, gloves, all of it! Vintage is so much more wonderful that what is produced today.
Thank you Renee! What a great score!! Opal is stunning, I like the real stuff and the faux glass copies 😍
Great finds!! I’d be so happy with the same. Bigger is better for me too!
Always love these hauls/ show and tells. It’s so helpful to see what you look for and fun to see all the sparkly things. Vintage Sherman aurora borealis jewellery is very collectible in Canada, I wonder if it’s because it was originally made in Montreal. I was lucky enough to find two pairs of Sherman chandelier earrings at the goodwill for $8 per piece which I thought was a pretty good find!
Nice! I find older rhinestone dangle earrings are hard to come by, so definitely a good steal!
Those are beautiful finds at a great price❤
OOOOOOO shiny sparkles!! Love your top xxxxxx
Thank you Alexandra!
Nice! Love the red necklace.
The first brooch reminds me of a Robert rhinestone brooch I missed out on on ebay. You would definitely love thay signed brands stuff
Thanks Bee, what a great find : )
Lovely. Great fun xx
I love your haul videos, especially the jewelry ones.
Thank you Christy!
The blue brooch is my fav. Only a suggestion, but that citrine color of rhinestone can be very summery paired with minty green.
I love when you post on Mondays. It’s such a lovely surprise. And hauls for jewelry are always fun!
It would be wrong to walk away from such a good deal! Those bracelets!😍😍😍
I also share a love of vintage jewelry! I have a couple pieces from my mothers jewelry box that are sparkly and a delight to wear. Love watching your haul videos Bianca.
Thank you Jacqueline!
I still love haul videos and this one was lots of fun!
Thank you Laura!
I’m always here for vintage and antique hauls!
I've seen Colorado Ballet do Dracula three times over the years and it's so good~! I'd never think you could have a scary ballet, but you definitely can.
