Scandalous Tales of Worldly Jewels….and then there’s mine!! 

Nanny, you look so pretty in that denim jacket!

You wear all your jewelry well. I’m going to tell you a non-pity party story. When my mother passed I inherited around 50,000.00 dollars worth of diamonds, rubies and pearls. When my children were 8 and 11 my ex-husband left me for another woman. He didn’t pay child support and I went through Child custody services in Georgia. It was horrible! I would get one check and he would move and the whole complicated mess would start over again. I had been a stay at home Mom do I had no income coming in after he left. I had to sell my jewelry one piece at a time as needed to pay groceries, housing etc. I don’t want anyone to say that this story is so sad. I’m just glad I had the jewelry no matter how painful it was to sell. My children were counting on me so I did what I had to do. I’m not fond of jewelry now. I own some costume jewelry that I wear to Church. I really had a hard time letting go of her first wedding set from 1945. Platinum vintage so beautiful. Got a good price and I had to buy Christmas for two children. They are now 36 and 39 and absolutely no regrets. Plus three beautiful grandson’s. I love you Mary Ellen and Moosie. Keep the video’s coming. I’m upset over all the suffering in the Ukraine so I need something positive to focus on.✝️💕

Nanny I love your jacket! You can definitely pull that look off. It's not to young for you. Love all your jewelry.

Oh Nanny! You make my day! I’ve collected jewelry for 61 years at least! My husband loves to buy jewelry for me and our two daughters! Your light blue denim jacket is so flattering you should wear it every day! I’m ordering one❤️ God bless!❤️❤️❤️

Well here I am glass in hand as suggested, wax melts and candles burning watching yet another smashing video. Nanny what a stunner you are in that Jean jacket and cute skirt combo, that’s sure to turn heads. I love the jewellery and the wonderful stories behind them all. Such a loving and thoughtful husband and children. X❤️

Looking gorgeous Nanny with this jean jacket ❤️❤️

So happy to know you are as addicted to jewelry as I am. Yes we collected for 60+ years as we traveled and celebrated. Lately beginning to hand down to the children and grandchildren. Each piece has a memory or story. They are my “toys” and give me much pleasure.

I am a jewellery lover too Nanny! I think my favorite posessions include paintings, jewellery and good books. They make me feel happy!

You have a beautiful collection of really nice pieces that spans different styles and different time periods. And you wear them so well!

Love you Nanny thanks for your lovely video. There wouldn't be many children and grandchildren around who will have your documentary videos of your lives to watch forever ❤ Nanny please pray for us here in Queensland Australia, and New South Wales. I live in Brisbane in Queensland. We're experiencing devastating floods and lives lost😭 Thankyou and stay safe and God bless us all 🙏 🕊💞

We married in 1976 and it was the height of Southwest jewelry. Our rings were bought at a flea market type shop. They would go to SantaFe and buy the pieces and bring them back to Our area. My husband bought me some beautiful pieces. My favorite pieces were our wedding rings. Mine is a wide silver band with inlaid turquoise and coral stones. The stones are in an irregular pattern and it is beautiful and very different from any other bands I have ever seen. I still get comments from strangers that notice it after all these years. My husband’s was not as wide and about 15 years ago it actually wore into. Of course it couldn’t be fixed. Silver is a soft metal and it wasn’t unusual for that to happen. You have some beautiful pieces and I know your children will be happy to keep the pieces to pass down to their children. I enjoyed the stories today.

Beautiful collection and wonderful stories.

Hi Nanny, you have so many beautiful and unique jewelry pieces! I knew none of this jewelry information, it is so interesting and educational. I love your Jean jacket, it looks great with the skirt from your daughter and the booties! Love and blessings, Sheila

What a beautiful collection Nanny! Thanks for telling us some of the stories that go with the pieces. I agree that it’s important to include the stories. Also that denim jacket with the skirt is great. I love it! You have fantastic taste my friend! ❤️🥰🌸🌺🌷

Love listening to you Nanny. Thankyou for the wonderful stories. You are such a breath of fresh air. Lots of love from Lollie in south africa xxx

Beautiful collection… enjoyed watching.

Wonderful stories, I especially like that you both love my homeland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ♥️

That was fun-thank you for letting us play with jewelry with you! And the chandelier necklace story was the best, too funny!

Thank you Nanny, you are so well informed, I love listening to all your stories, your jewellery is beyond beautiful. Hugs Bea

Love your jewelry gorgeous,your jacket is so cool blessing to you, Moose,and family 🙏👍🌟

Nanny what a fun and light hearted vlog! I love your knowledge about the history on jewelry pieces! I enjoy period pieces. Your jewelry is gorgeous. You are so blessed and it is just heartwarming for me to be even a small part of that by viewing this vlog. It is lovely how you joyfully share with us all! So fun! We all love you too Nanny and I am sure no one minds me speaking for them on that! God bless you and Moosie and your whole family!!! 🥹❤️Hugs 🤗 Elizabeth🙏🤗❤️😀🤗❤️

Thank you Nanny love the stories and your beautiful jewelry and your lovely memories you share with all of us I'm South African and been living in Taiwan for over 30 years love to you and Moose stay safe ❤ 💙 ♥ 💕

I just love your jewelry and especially the stories attached to the pieces! You have such a beautiful collection of many varied designs! I, too am partial to jewelry, namely the Southwestern turquoise and silver and have been accumulating pieces over the last probably 10-15 years. Bracelets, earrings, necklaces...Yes to all!! I truly enjoyed this video and had watched your first one that was outside, in fact, that was when I found you on RU-vid and have been with you ever since!! A friend I've never met in person, but one I love to "hear" from on a regular basis....thank you, Nanny and God Bless!!

Hi nanny! 👋 ENJOYED this video immensely! Soo much FUN & very INTERESTING! you are the best! Keep the stories coming! See u soon! Be well. Stay safe! GOD bless nanny& moose! 💕

Such interesting stories and beautiful jewelry!! I immediately went on Walmart and ordered that cute denim jacket!!

You look so beautiful! I love your outfit. You inspire me to get dressed and wear my jewelry.i have to see you daily to get inspired since the loss of my the love of my life transcended. Thank you Nanny!

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤ 🎀 ❤ 🎀 ❤ 🎀

Another great vlog Nanny you have inspired me once again this time to document my Jewelry. Thank you.. love the jacket a great outfit on you.

I enjoyed looking at all your beautiful jewelry Nannie and the stories. I love your grandmother’s pocket watch on a necklace chain. Mosse has been very good to you over the years🥰

Loved seeing your jewelry collection and hearing your stories about it❣️

Very, very entertaining! I love jewelry!!! You have a wonderful collection . For any occasion the best present I can receive is JEWELRY. Best to you and Moosie and your entire family. lol xx

Love it love it Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕❤️❤️

What a fun and informative video today, Nanny! How I wish I could scoot over to the cottage and polish all your jewelry…it’s my favorite thing to do. One little suggestion: when you do them all polished and shined up…store them in plastic bags getting all the air out that you can ….and they won’t tarnish again! Bytheby….still waiting for the loveseat recliner picture of MOOSIE enjoying it!! Still waiting……🤔😬……

Beautiful and interesting, Nanny! I have a friends mother who used to break down jewelry and put the pearls, rubies, etc into a picture frame and hang them. She would do various designs for each framed masterpiece. They were quite beautiful!

Love your jewerly..love big ring and big earrings! I love to hesr the history stories Thank you ! Your beautiful!!!

Wow

Oh! I did enjoy this. A few years ago, the mood struck me and I gave a few of my granddaughters rings (I think 33 of them) I still have a plethora of them. Prior to that I gave away lots and lots of watches at one point. Most have a story which I’ve not taken the time to tell. I love jewelry I have so many necklaces, bracelets, earrings, broaches, etc. Many were costly and some are worthless just things I like. Lately I seem to wear the same loved items over and over and leave the rest alone. I have some of my Mothers jewelry which I treasure. One of my grandfathers left me a small inheritance and I decided to buy a beautiful gold necklace with it as a keepsake to remember him and his generosity. FUN!! I will rewatch this video again, soon. I’m sure your children are glad you recorded this so they will know the stories pertaining to your beloved jewelry.

Oh My! We really DO have a lot in common. What an Amazing collection. You certainly wear them well ♥️🥰

Enjoyed it more than you’ll know. Jewelry reminds me so much of my family who have now passed. The story of the chandelier necklace made me laugh. 😂You are so creative. Have a great week. 😍

P.S., I loved the outfit with the distressed denim jacket!! You are NOT too old to wear it because if you are, then I am, too!! I have a couple pair of jeans and or capris that are somewhat distressed and I think they are fun to wear thrifting about!! My neighbor who is a year older than myself (74) always says (kiddingly!?) that it's too bad I can't afford new pants!! But, what the heck, I like them!! God Bless, my Friend!!

Lovely jewelry..thanks for showing us.👌

Great video! Jewelry Of the rich and famous! Wow those were some interesting stories. And of course loved hearing about all of your pieces and your trips that also added to your collection You have some wonderful pieces. And you wear them well. Hugs Caroline

I have always admired your jewelry - esp those SW pieces - all magnificent. Also love those silver pieces from Ireland and Scotland - really something different I never saw until you shared yours with us. Like that idea of the watch Christmas tree - those trees made out of old and vintage jewelry are so pretty. That jean jacket is a winner on you!

Wonderful video! Wonderful collection! Such precious memories.

I loved your jewelry stories @Nanny! Thanks for sharing!💗💗💗

NANNY! What a great jewelry and fashion show - with some scandalous celebrity and royalty foibles thrown in. I loved this. You have beautiful pieces! I once made a pendant out of ONE chandelier drop and thought I was spiffy! You said to get a glass of wine! Well, I got a cuppa tea and then ate four cookies while I was ensconced in your stories. Thank you! xo karen

You have a beautiful collection. Thanks for sharing it. I love jewelry too.

love your look and the stories of your jewels! always have loved jewelry and makeup! gloria from Indiana

Nanny….what an enjoyable video …I love jewelry as well and I think your idea of sharing the stories behind each piece is so interesting and important. I have three beautiful granddaughters and two lovely daughters in law who hopefully will enjoy my pieces upon my passing. Bye the way…that Jean jacket looks amazing on you. With the horrible events happening in Urkraine I needed to see a fun video like this today. Love all of your jewelry Nanny….never too old to love beautiful things and enjoy life! ❤️

Your jewelry is beautiful.....thank you for sharing.....

What mystery jewelry ,with a history .love .

I love your stories and your jewelry collection is lovely! I also love and collect jewelry. 💕

Good Morning, really enjoy watching your videos. you are awesome and I am a new fan in Florida. I love your channel.

Thank you for this video. You made me look and appreciate my jewellery collection again.

Hi Nanny... such beautiful pieces. KO-KO-PELI - (PELI is pronounced like PEL-E) - is the name of the fertility God on your bracelet. I also have pieces from New Mexico similar to yours. I am about 45 minutes from New Mexico and used to travel there frequently. All my pieces need serious polishing since they've been sitting far too long! You have such an impressive collection of jewelry. I'm sure your children will love listening to the stories behind each one. As much as I like your jewelry, I really like that adorable denim jacket!! Nancy in Texas.. Stay safe

Oh I just love your stories personal here….and enjoyed the movie stars stories too. You Nanny are a jewel!

Love your jewelry and you look awesome like always😇

Hi Nanny, I enjoyed your show and tell of jewellery. Being a bit of a magpie myself I have a few pieces too but mostly costume. The lapis really popped when you showed us that, goes with your eyes. My best to you and Moosie. Xxxx

Owww love the stories and all of your jewelry stories too!! I too love my jewelry and shopping for it! Laughed at the chandelier necklace but oh so clever and I bet it was sparkly! Now I want to go online for vintage jewelry... it's fun to just look and see what you might 'need'!!

Great video Nanny! I have a lot of jewelry i have collected over the years... none of it 'fine' jewelry but i covet each one for its quirkiness... is that a word?? lol I have a box of costume jewelry from my grandmother that i treasure... and a beautiful set of necklace/earrings of Arora Borealis Northern Lights... I just love them.. Reminds me alot of that bracelet of yours...

I loved it wonderful story! ♥️

Love the video I love jewelry too so much. My daughters don’t wear it much. I have missed wearing it during this staying in. Maybe it won’t be long I’ll be able to enjoy it always have earrings on💕

Good morning Nanny. Thank you for reminding us of all the stories related to jewelry. The scandals and superstitions surrounding some are very interesting. You not only have a beautiful collection, but wonderful stories to accompany each piece. I love your puffy sleeved denim jacket. Shame on the IRS for confiscating Marlene Dietrich’s jewels! On the dock no less…lol. Marie Antoinette’s diamonds…WOW! I think that your mother’s pins might be stick pins to be worn on a dress or lapel rather than hat pins. I have a collection of hat pins and they are longer. It is both a funny and sad story that you were dropping crystals at Colleen’s wedding. You needed a small child following you around, picking up the crystals, lol. Your gypsy ring is beautiful. You and Moose continue to entertain us with your colorful life stories. It was wonderful to see Moose’s Christmas gifts again. Nanny, you have a great sense of style and know how to pull off the larger pieces of jewelry. My husband loved to give me jewelry. I have a copper necklace and earrings set that he bought me soon after we began dating. Every time we went to Las Vegas he would buy me black diamond earrings and necklaces. I have put notes with some of my jewelry, but you have showed me that I need to tell more about the pieces. I am looking forward to your St. Paddy’s Day video. Perhaps with a recipe, I hope. Blessings to you both, love, Sharon

You and, moose are, increadleble, people, love from, new zealand😊😊😊

I love all of the jewelry and I have a few good pieces and a lot of inexpensive. It's all fun. I love the jean jacket and you look fabulous in it. I'd like to have one like it. Your videos are so interesting. I bet your school students loved you.

❤

Nanny, my best friend I love this video. We collect southwest jewelry and have traveled to Santa Fe and Taos. We love your channel and ready to accept any jewelry you would like to give.

When you spoke of laying your jewellery out on the bed, you reminded me of a story Richard Burton committed to his diary, which was published posthumously: Elizabeth had been unnaturally quiet for some time. Wondering about the reason why, Richard called out to her, and asked what she was doing. "Playing with my jewels", came her reply from their bedroom. She, like you, would lay her jewels out on her bed. And she would play with them as a child plays with beloved toys. Nanny, I must have spent many, many hundreds of hours watching RU-vid... and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a RU-vid video so much.

Hi Nanny. Just Loved your Vlog. So Entertaining and Educational. I have Already gave my Daughter’s and Grandaughter’s My Diamond Jewellery. The Grandkids can wear the Jewellery when they are older. I Love Rings, like yourself Nanny, and would buy loads of Diamondique Rings off QVC. A few of those rings have been given away too. Now, I wear Jewellery that Both Family and Friends have given me. Same things Every day. Your Denim Jacket looked like a Designer Piece Nanny. You looked Wonderful wearing it. Much Love, Cathy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 xxx

DON'T YOU LOOK ADORABLE IN THAT JEANS JACKET?!? ;0-)

I’m watching you right now but I can’t wait to tell how damn cute you look in the jean puffed sleeve jacket. You look so adorable. You brought back nostalgia. My mother was a beautiful woman. She would have been able to wear that outfit with the grace you do. Oh, btw, the comment you made about maybe not for you because of your age. NO! Not my Nanny. You don’t consider age when you style. You must remember that you are talking to millions. What you say goes a long, long way. Maybe you don’t prefer ragged denim but you look great. And I know in my heart you would not buy your wardrobe considering your age. My mother on the day she died was wearing 501 Levi’s jeans and a beautiful cowl neck red sweater. She was beautiful inside and out as you ate. I love you and Moose and I enjoy you each day. Thank you for making my and my husbands life better. God bless us all!♥️

Mary Ellen, your a Jewel Yourself.😘😘😘😘 one of kind.0ne in a Million. You Never cease to Amaze me. I have very little of it. My husbands old it to pay Utility bill. He had never bought me anything.

Nanny you look wonderful in your Jean jacket and the western necklace. What great stories I’ve been lately trying to decide who would get what ,especially my mother’s jewelry do you have any suggestions for me.

Interesting to hear the stories of your jewelry, I'm sure there are many more. I was told by an antique dealer the stories make things more valuable, so I always have my mother jot down facts about pieces she plans to give me. And I see someone has already corrected you on the name of the fertility god, Kokopelli - living in West Texas I have spent a lot of time in New Mexico & he is everywhere 😉. Thanks for another fun video! I have a question: How do you store your necklaces to keep them from tangling? Are they in separate boxes or do you hang them?

The Sancy diamond is owned by the Louvre. 👍(Says professor Google 😉)

Its spelled maharani- maha (grand) rani (queen)😊
