What is the name of Josh's channel. I'd love to check it out.

Your gift from Josh is not only a very beautiful piece but also has lots of personal sentiment attached. Josh is such a caring and loving soul. He will go far in this world. And the world will be blessed to have him here!!

Absolutely beautiful work of art Josh created! I had no idea the leaves were spoons, even when he got up close, lol. Then when he said it, I was like "Oh ya, that's so cool!"

[@shirleydunn8050]

Love the Cameos and being English I love the Wade Brooch( I have the same one) and the coin bracelet. We used to call those coins thrupenny bits. Love the tree Josh made. I watch his channel ( usually his lives in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. ) Going to watch his video on making the tree now.

[@karendooks6244]

The tree sculpture is absolutely beautiful, so unique, and I love the personal touch of only using things that you've given him. It could hold its own in any London gallery ❤

[@tamaralong-partei6129]

It was special watching him make it too, and seeing the love he put into it as well as the time and effort. I’ve watch Josh on your show for years and I’ve seen the relationship grow between you guys, you really respect each other and share a special bond.

[@judithpride6810]

@@tamaralong-partei6129 Spoons have been a symbol of love all over Europe for hundreds of years. Historically a courtship custom, a man would carve a small spoon out of one piece of wood and present it to a girl as a gift. If she accepted the spoon, it was taken as a token of engagement to be married.

[@kimfrommn7162]

You are did find a lot of nice items for the jewelry slot at the auction!!! I bet most people do not realize how much work/time is actually put into to make a super auction for yourself!!! Although the interest stays high to keep having auctions, because every auction brings in new items!!! I really Ike your career!! Head boss and it isn't 9 to 5 everyday!!! Plus the videos are great watching your findings each time!!! I hope you all have a Great Week ahead!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

The thing you called a lace tightener is actually called a button hook and was used to do up buttons both on shoes and clothing.

I actually saw Josh’s episode about this gift first and I’m really happy to see it again on yours.

You two truly show how someone’s trash is another person’s treasure👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Joshua is a great artist,I love the things he makes..this tree is fantastic!😍 The beads are actually called Millefiori. Normally you see the “thousand flowers”,which ofcourse is the translation for Millefiori, in glass and they’ll have more depth. But I think you and Melissa already knew all this.😊 Unbelievable how much beautiful jewelry you found..and super sweet you kept the birds brooch and the tiny mouse separate for Melissa.🙏🏻🥰

[@s.f.8867]

Oh nice, a spoon bonsai. Josh is a real artist!

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Archbold couple. 👍👌👏 Congrats for finding all the jewelry. 2) The "Spoonsai" is an awesome piece of art done by an extremely talented friend of yours. It fits perfectly! Not only the niche (despite the special elbow measurement!😁) but also because it's recycled/upcycled stuff out of your hoarder house projects. It was quite a big effort to put the "Spoonsai" together (Josh mentioned 13 hrs). Congratulations for having this beautiful piece in your wonderful house now. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.

[@susanorr7535]

I am so proud of Josh in all he does. He put so much thought into his creation, using your materials from different explorations that you gifted to him. There’s so much history and memories that will live on that you share through your videos for your family. This fine piece of art was hand made and signed by a true artist from his heart, and a honest loyal friend for life.

The art piece by Josh Alexander is phenomenal. He is unbelievably talented. By the way, the beaded necklace is Italian and it’s called millefiori beads. It’s very pretty.

[@suelepage6970]

Josh made a gorgeous tree, I call it "Tree of Rebirth" loved watching him make it.

[@OriginalNethead]

03:49 Button hook, not laces. 04:28 likely bone. Older ones were ivory, but a lot of places ban ivory sales so regardless it's "bone". 😁 The coral rose earrings had silver posts - costume metal for sure. The RCA cufflinks may have been for a sales manager rather than a buyer. There probably aren't many around. 13:55 Italian millefiore. NICE. (the mouse...here Chewie!) The old pins and ballerina pieces were a "thing", late 40s to late 50s. Possibly into the 60s. 17:25 French (probably) glass, and OLD if it's that small. Women were smaller back when and 12 or 13 inch chokers weren't rare. 19:33 French plastic Melissa-nabbed pin, probable 1920s. Trombone clasp and all. Sometimes called "french ivory" if it's celluloid. Josh's tree thing...NICE.

[@artanddebearickson9729]

Italian micro mosaics is called tesserae, gold plating over silver is called vermeil, the necklace with the rose carved beads is either ivory or , bakelite or celluloid. If I hear anything else as I watch that could be helpful I will add to. The amber set is not really a set. I would sell them separately to me the most money. You did mention the earrings are huge , I think they would best be used separately as pendants. I think lots of people will be interested in your auction. I once bought a small tub of junk jewelry with a coin bracelet in it. The coins turned out to be Venezuelan gold coins totaling to an ounce of gold. I paid $6 American for the tub. Wonderful find.

Hi Alex and Melissa....I've been following your channel for quite a while now and I look forward to your next episodes. Watching todays video made me want to share a tip with you (if you don't already know it) I had and older Hungarian woman as a client many years ago. She told me that she used to hide her "good " jewelery in the lining of her jackets etc. when she was going away on vacation. Let's just say, that when she passed, I saved her family giving away ALOT of good quality jewelery before they donated her clothes. Keep up the great videos... Kim

[@simplycrochet1430]

Last year I sat with my 90 year old mother and went through a few of her jewelry boxes. Her stories were wonderful 💛 She blessed me with a few great treasures. One was a delicate silver watch she wore when she was young.

And knowing the story makes it even more special!

[@janreason1518]

Josh is a very talented artist. Beautiful piece. You probably already do this, but artisans and crafters love bits and pieces of broken and discarded jewelry so a group of that placed into a lot would be a great addition to your auction.

A nice “remedy” to use if you’re having to untangle necklace chains…put a drop of oil (baby oil, coconut oil, vegetable oil, the thicker the better) on the knot and start to gently rub the oil in. You’ll see the chains start to separate and the knots will loosen so it’s easier to untangle.

[@maryellenshock]

I used to used a needle and would gently poke the knot. It worked every time!

Alex hi I love watching you adventures. Your video is at the begining for me as i write this and no doubt there is so much more i will enjoy. The ?silver hook is called a button hook. Victorian and early Edwardian ladies had slender boots that had very small buttons up the sides and on some gloves too. You insert the hook through the button hole and place it around the base of the button and ease it through. It looks like the carved cream colour beads are ivory.. i am sure you know that if they were bone they would have tiny black flecks from the blood vessels that ran through the bone. I love all your family as you are so united and all you do to help people. Thank you .Marie UK
