Bought A BAG OF JEWELRY At An Estate Clean Out!

On a recent house pick, I bought a bag of jewelry. I barely looked in the bag before buying, but thought why not take a chance! Let's see what's inside!

The star with the yellow disk is from Girl Scouts, one star for each year you were in scouts.

[@gaylehill849]

I saw that and yelled "Girl Scouts"! I don't think she heard me. LOL

[@amandaschieber1034]

Same here I said Girl Scouts also

[@joniferris8869]

Renee, lay out all the jewelry into necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets. Then take a piece, like a necklace and see if there are other pieces that match it so you can make it into a set. I think there are a lot of earrings there that match the necklaces. I use the little plastic ziplock bags they sell in Walmart craft dept (100 for one dollar) to put the jewelry in, so they don't tangle up.

[@lisarose9010]

There were several suites in the bag as well, they may not be gold or silver but have VAlue beçause there are 3 or more matching pieces!

[@crystalsamples9169]

Use a magnet for jewelry. It will separate the silver and gold out alot faster. I get such a thrill watching you. Thank you for posting

[@stephanieamir2538]

I love jewelry, it doesn’t matter if it’s junk or value.... just love it!

[@gretchgrundmann5266]

Awesome bag!! 18k means the ring is gold! Whoot!! There is 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, and 24k. Also, .925 means the item is silver although some vintage silver will say "sterling." Pro tip.. men's rings are almost always gold, silver or platinum. Men do not wear "costume jewelry" the way women do, and when I find men's rings they are almost always a precious metal. I'm a huge fan of your channel and wish you more lucky happy hunting!

[@babytrumpmcwilliam7597]

I think the ring is 18k HGE - Electroplate that doesn't have any real value.

I enjoyed going with him .i saw a lot of the country. The ring looked as if it was well loved.

The mortar and pestle items could be things given to a Pharmacy School graduate. And the mini license plate that guaranteed delivery if placed in any mailbox is a service for disabled American vets (my Dad was one). You put a mini version of your car's license plate, which the Disabled American Vets had made for you) on your keychain. And if you ever lost your keys, anyone who found them could just put the keys into any mailbox and they would eventually be returned ti the owner thru the USPS and the DAV. The Vets had a national database. I always wanted to look at the mini plate when I was little because it was so cute!😁

I've been a jewelry lover since I was a kid. My aunt and I shared that love for costume jewelry. When she passed, I inherited several jewelry boxes. Nothing more calming than sitting with the boxes and looking at the contents. I love to clean metal jewelry. I like the aquamarine at the end. It's my birthstone. Great video & jewelry haul

[@ontariopicker6343]

Renee, now that you are a collector of jewelry you need the basics...a magnifier, a magnet, maybe a gold silver acid test, Remember not all gold is marked, maybe a diamond tester, us pickers have to ready for everything and anything. A small weigh scale so you know the amount of gold & silver you have found. Happy Picking!

[@johannakerns2107]

What a fun bag! I inherited many charm bracelets and pins from my grandmothers. They were all the rage in the 1960s, I guess. I've seen other resellers buy ultrasonic cleaners --not too pricey-- to clean jewelry. Many chemicals are harsh on the vintage stuff, so be careful, which is tough when you're dealing with the oily residue of nicotine. Thanks for sharing your finds!

[@janetburke2739]

I'm not a jeweler, just a retired person who loves to watch your videos. I have found that when you get ready to clean the jewelry, a good thing to have is a child's small sized, soft toothbrush or even a cleaned mascara brush to clean in and under and around things. And when I'm done cleaning and towel drying jewelry, I use my blow-dryer on the air only setting to eliminate any residual moisture hiding in the crevices.

[@rpkent8884]

great idea

[@janetburke2739]

@@rpkent8884Thank you. I like vintage costume jewelry (especially charm bracelets and pins/brooches) and do not mind if it isn't real silver or gold. But I sometimes need to remove dust, dried hairspray or cologne from purchases, and I do not want any residual crud, rust, water spots etc. I also do not want to loosen any rhinestones, pearls or cabochons. Using a little brush to delicately clean jewelry and then using the blow-dryer just seemed the logical things to do.

[@sheilacirioni4676]

I have still got a bunch of my mom& grandmas screw& clip ons. When I cleaned my father in laws attic found a huge suitcase full of jewlery,alot from japan. I sold alot.but still have more,plus mine& moms. More than I need but love.😁✌

[@PaperandMoose]

Oh wow, a big suitcase full of jewelry, that certainly must have been a surprise!

[@annamorgan9069]

Just because the metal might not be sterling or gold, vintage costume jewelry has value, sometimes a lot of value. There are web sites that give you tips for finding what collectors are looking for. Yes, it will generally speaking have more value if it has a maker's mark regardless of being costume or fine jewelry. I have been making jewelry for years and have sold vintage fine and also costume jewelry online.What a haul you have. Good luck.

[@babytrumpmcwilliam7597]

It was a nice bag. Some of the pieces showed signs of wear.

[@crystalwaters7081]

A really fun lot of jewelry! Just an FYI, anything that has Verdigrees, or as you said was oxidized, just pour ketchup over it on a saucer or in a bowl and let sit for 15 minutes, take a toothbrush and then lightly brush off the green - it magically disappears! It's the acid in the ketchup that gets rid of it and the pieces look new again! Great find! 📜 & 🦌 ❤

[@MistofRain752]

Renee easy way to clean jewelry...take a plastic sandwich container with a lid that seals, put in 3 drops of dawn dish detergent add warm water seal lid and gently shake. If water really dirty repeat. Rinse with clean water and lay on clean towel. DO NOT SOAK! My little great niece and I buy jewelry jars from thrift stores from time to time and found this is the best way to clean and help sanitize jewelry. Won't hurt gold or silver. We both have fun doing and picking out what we want.

Texas Gal Jewelry Lovers is great for helping with identifications. First star pin was from Girl Scouts. You need to get a jewelers loop and a magnet as gold and silver are most times not magnetic. Charm bracelets can make good money, also maybe garnet and a aquamarine ring in there. Margaret @ Texas Gal Treasures does a lot of jewelry hauls I have learned a lot watching her.

[@gaylehill849]

I think the ring (near the end) with blue stones could be Aquamarine. Very nice. This was fun!

Hi Renee, I think you need to spend time with Blue Bus Dave when he scouts out jewelry at the flea markets. You could buy lunch afterwards. “Fabulous Orange” cleaner sold at Dollar Tree cuts through the nicotine. Not sure if it would damage metal. Best, Brian

Brian next time try vinegar. Shines impeccably and wont harm the piece.

On your necklaces you can put baby powder on the ones that are all twisted together the powder helps to loosen the metal then just rub the rest off with a dry wash cloth.

[@justjudycrafting7401]

That was so much to watch. Memories of my childhood. I have received some pieces in those heart shaped containers at the end. I wish I would have keep more of my childhood pieces. I do have a bunch of things from my mom and aunts. I am happy about that.

[@msej4867]

The red 'stone' is faux coral beads, probably glass and is it marked JAPAN on hook clasp?, costume jewelry from post ww2 Japan. Duplicate pins either the same size or multiple sizes are called scatter pins and were purchased & worn together. The heart pin with blue iridescence is a butterfly wing & may have a painted design (ladies in wigs with fancy dresses or tropical beach scenes). They are collectible & some are sterling. The rings mostly look to be costume or gold plated. But I would double check the silver tone ring with the oval blue faceted stones. It looked like it could be sterling and the stones could be either blue topaz or aquamarine (which would be of greater value). Also, I would check the gold tone heart pendant on the gold tone chain. The chain looked like gold. Remember to check both the pendant and the chain as they may not have been originally bought together.

[@PaperandMoose]

The one chain with the heart charm was 14k (the chain, not the charm). The silver ring with the blue stones... was sterling silver, but worth more as a ring than the price of sterling. Still have to have my gold/silver guy look at a few more pieces!

[@msej4867]

I really think the stones are blue topaz. Aquamarines that color would be pricey.@@PaperandMoose

[@melaniewiggins4761]

U have bakelite and gold and silver everything u got is worth something the gold necklace is a win with gold up . The costume is worth money to u can put them in a jewel bath then microfiber cloths . Always grab bags like that

The little blue heart pin at 26:00 looks to be morpho butterfly wing that was painted on. I love it!!!! You got some really, really nice pieces for sure!

[@TheLadyk53]

I thought that too. My mother had a bracelet with a charm that had the butterfly wing inside and the scene looked like a boat on the water at sunset. I was fascinated with it when I was a child. I wish Renee had shown the heart on camera more closely.

[@dianakendrick6354]

The bracelet with the purple heart that looks like the sweetheart bracelets army men would buy their wife or girlfriend. The bracelet would be from the 40's around WWII. Look up vintage sweetheart bracelets on Ebay you will find them on there. The red necklace looks like glass beads from the 50's/60's. The loose cameo I couldn't tell but if it is shell it will be worth something too. You got some great little finds. I love vintage jewelry.

[@larryboysen5911]

A woman I know from my church senior group would go "bonkers" over those Elvis pieces...she collects Elvis memorabilia like this fellow collects frogs! Speaking of these amphibians, I have a small collection of frog lapel pins...two in sterling silver. I also like and look for Masonic jewelry, the older, the better. One of my late aunts had some fine vintage charm bracelets from her younger days She'd add a charm from places she'd visited. That one red-orange necklace looks like a mini tomato-themed piece. Cute frogs, they look like a set. If you decide to sell them, let me know, as I do have some those critters in ladies "broach" size! Mortar and pestle set...probably a druggist of pharmacist wore those. I had a collection of very old, heavy mortar and pestle sets...gave them to my vintage tech museum. In his earlier days, my dad did get a Teamster's ring and lapel pin for his 20 years safe driving for Golden State Dairy. Still have them. Very interesting batch of jewelry.

[@RMBlake007]

Just an FYI to viewers Pro tip - Screw back earrings can often be converted into a pierced style by taking off the sback and replacing with a wire. Takes only a needle nose plier and maybe a jump ring and of course the wire/shepherds hook. Those items can often be repurposed from other pieces, (say, a one only earring).

Thanks for another fun video!

[@PaperandMoose]

The bag was lumped in with everything else that I bought from the home... One chain was 14K, the few other pieces I had checked out were gold plated or sterling (but worth more as actual rings/jewelry than scrap value of sterling).

[@jerisherfy507]

So much fun going through a bag of vintage jewelry! I use to sell it on Etsy with my sisters but had to stop due to a family situation. You can easily turn those screw back earrings into pierced earrings. All you need is a pair of jeweler's pliers and the pierced hoops you can find online or at Michael's.

Also you pulled out a heart shaped Butterfly Wing piece with painting on the wings (real butterfly wing). It's blue and very reflective. Those were very popular in the 1930's, and probably set in Sterling Silver- these are highly collectable. They will pay a good price for those! 50 to 75 or more! The big ring at the end that you said was 18K HGE is a high grade gold plating. "High Grade Electroplate"...👍😊

[@rpkent8884]

Renee! I yelled out I had that same R ring! You have Elvis and Ellis Island too. Maybe the owner was an Avon Lady...love the Kiss, too. fyi, say brooch like coach. be careful with the plastic items, like that orange and yellow bracelet. they could be bakelite. google how to clean safely. To clean verdigris, the green corrosion on jewelry, dip a toothpick in vinegar and carefully drag the wood across the metal, then wipe with an old t-shirt scrap then repeat using a clean toothpick occasionally. try not to get the vinegar on the other parts. may take a while. If the red stone necklace feels cold to the touch they may be coral ,or cinnabar, which I have heard is poisonous. If they feel warm they may be just plastic or resin. the troll might be worth something as Hong Kong is no more. Love the Dennison case, might be celluloid or bakelite and very fragile. could be worth more than the earrings. you can use a magnet to see if a metal is steel, rather than silver. that stocking pin would look cute in a display. You might want to sell the mortar and pestel tie tack and cuff links set on Ebay. A pharmacist might like them. the black and gold ring might be 18 karat gold with the person's initials inside. love the truckers ring too. if you have Google Lens on your phone, use it to take a picture of an item, like the crests, and it will bring up possible matches. to remove smells, I would put all the jewelry in a large box with a bowl of baking sode in the center and close it up for a few days. maybe stir the bowl and set some more days. such great stuff, thx, Renee.

@@PaperandMoose I have no idea what the bristles are made of on some of these " Cosmetic brushes ' for applying makeup or blush but they generally had a nice strong wooden handle so easy to brush with. And of course they come with various degrees of stiffness. I'll Bet Dollar Tree would have some you could find for cleaning

Loved going through the jewelry bag with you!!! Thanks! So fun!

Some vintage jewelry can be worth alot of money depending on company etc. Some of those are celluloid and bakelite. Collectible too. Also those screw back and clip ons can be made into fishooks you can wear now or some of it used to make necklaces etc if u take them apart. I do it all the time. Oh, and keep all the boxes. They can sell by themselves alone.

I love the set of screw back earrings right after the frog and the cameos. 💕💕💕

as a scavenger when i found necklaces and bracelets i would take the time to unsnarl them and after i would make sure that they were not broken i would put them in snack size zip lock bag just an idea there

Yes, and leave the chain sticking out one corner of the bag so it doesn’t get tangled again:)

[@rpkent8884]

@@ArtsyGirlsy that's what I do, and sometimes if very long, I wrap it around a cardboard with slots to secure it.

I'm late to the party but had to let you know that I had the Avon cat necklace you shared at 3:15 mark. Brought back happy memories.
