My sister-in-law left my brother for years ago. She left a jewelry armoire, and my brother didn’t want it and I got it. It took me four hours to go through it.
Fab finds and great strategy for sourcing and selling. You potentially had a set! You've probably sold them already. It looked like there were two earrings that matched the big AB brooch - shape, design, etc were the same. Selling as a set/matching lot can bump up price a little.
I am new to selling on eBay. I bought a hoarder's home. I have sorted out all the jewelry. I am so happy I have found your RU-vid show. Thank you for sharing your talent. I have learned so much from you. One thing I need help with is the tools to test jewelry and how to test the jewelry. Do you teach how to test jewelry, and what tools to buy, where to get them?
Its pronounced”Gee Von Shay” Rusty.. ive got thousands of pieces of vintage jewellery.. im struggling to sort them all so ty for the tip on diff tubs etc very helpful
Rusty, love your videos!! I learn a lot from you! Here’s something for you to help you! Givenchy is pronounced Jee-von-she or you can say the last syllable as chi, like a chihuahua. Thanks for all you do to help others learn about reselling! ❤
Rusty, How can you tell if something is GoldFilled? I understand Gold Plated is on the outside, Right? But I dont know whats on the Inside 😊. And if a magnet sticks to jewelry, Its Fake. Right? Thank you. I just found your site a few days ago, by accident. Im glad I did. I did subscribe too. 🙂
Gold filled jewelry can say "Gold Filled" or "GF" and will say the karat and the fraction thereof. It might say fully "Gold Filled 14k 1/10," or it might only say 1/20 10k or 10k GF. (The minimum amount will be 5% or 1/20.) As 10k is 41.7% gold, that would mean 5% of the total weight of the item is 31.5% actual pure gold. With 1/10 14k, 1/10 being 10% and 14k as 58.5% gold, 10% of the total weight of the item would be 58.5% pure gold. Etc
When u say u get $1/gram of GF- do u mean by putting it up as Buy Now online OR at a local Buy Gold & Silver Business/Individual? I absolutely LOVE your videos, they are always so packed full of great info & even better tips!!!
At 19:44 the charm has a Masonic emblem on it, the item at 19:51 is a charm to protect against the evil eye. I have seen a few blue evil eye protection charms before. I am not sure what the engraving on the charm is, possibly Arabic calligraphy.
I was wondering if you could me identify this mark on an old pearl necklace clasp. It starts with a M and gold or silver blobbed over a few letters, then ends in boux. I have tried everywhere but a jewelry store. Thanks if you can help
The Gibson is great and your luthier is right on the cost to repair, and that's just what he has found now before taking it apart. I have to pay $500 just for a neck reset. These are player's instruments (acoustic blues players love them) so I wouldn't worry too much about the cosmetics like the back of the neck. the owner probably had put a soundhole pickup in it which would explain the hole in the tail end, this was where the pickup jack was. It seems you have a good take on what's what with it. Good luck! Also I was dying at your jewelry haul. You got some fantastic stuff there.
A pawn shop told my best friend that they throw away the stones, including diamonds, when they melt. Is this true? They told her they're worthless. She kept her items.
This is true. I worked at a gold buying store and pawn shop. Part of my job was removing gems. They are tossed in a jar and sit on a shelf until they resell to a jeweler.
My face😮when you throw the jewelry in the bin from the table, I recently found your channel and thanks for all the help you guys provide us with and the humor and laughs 😂❤❤
Hey Cousin, Have you ever used eBay’s jewelry authenticity service? I have a few $$$ pieces but live in small town. I literally would have to drive several hours to a gemologist to get stuff appraised.
