Hi Rusty, I'm so glad for you on the Tiffany & Co. Earrings. As you probably know, pearls should only be gently rubbed with a soft white cloth-no chemicals, not even water. Whoever left the crud that may have been a silver polish was much too close to it. I just came on really to give one more suggestion to selling the single stud sterling and probably citrine earring that you came close to mentioning, but barely by. My daughter has 4 or 5 piercings going up the side of her ear and often wears various studs. She and others like her are buyers who would buy one earring, so the other suggestion was to just it as is. There are buyers for single earrings, especially small stud earrings. I like your style and enjoy your videos! Best wishes to you. Lauren in Massachusetts.

I think the multi band ring was for a neck scarf. They were popular in the 70’s.

[@12345674309]

You can separate natural or cultured pearls from imitations by gently rubbing them against the edge of a front tooth. A natural , or a cultured pearl will feel slightly gritty while the artificials are smooth.

[@Eclectista]

I was going to mention what others did, that the coiled ring is a scarf ring, you thread both ends through it so you don't have to tie it. I was wincing when you were poking around the edges of the pearl with your pointer. I was worried you would scratch it by accident in your excitement! Lol. I'm so happy for you! Thank you for spending your money to educate us!

[@nancyloomis3046]

Congrats on the Tiffany earrings! Wow wee! I still have a good portion of about 4 or 5 very cheap jewelry jars that I purchased from an animal support group around 2 years ago. I kick myself all the time that I didn’t buy more when I had the chance. A lot of it was craft and repair grade, but there was some really good stuff in there and I have sold some of it. When I was ready to buy some more, there wasn’t any. The volunteers told me that the lady who did the jars was not doing them because she was taking care of her sick husband, but that when she came back, they would have some jars to sell again. They never did. They now have jewelry again, but it’s sold individually and a lot of it is in a locked case. Moral of the story: when you see something at a great price that you can afford and it’s something in high demand, grab all of it you can afford because it’s likely you won’t see that same deal again.

[@WeezyWeez1984]

Love those little coral earrings. 😊

[@janeenmckenzie4586]

Rusty I would really like if you could do a follow up video for your items once you have cleaned them up ready for sale 🙏🏼

[@alysooter2209]

Hi! Just found your channel and I'm loving it... Thank you for sharing!!! But... OMG he dropped the earring!!! Aggghhhh!!! 😂😂😂

[@RustyTheReseller]

Thanks for watching!

[@andyrobinson5829]

Absolutley keep doing this format! a lot of FUN & Excitement.

[@pretzeltime3900]

If you find old gold or silver pins or brooches, unlock the pin on the back and inspect the pin and lock. Often times there are marks on one or the either that can tell you more about metal content. I’ve found many brooches that were actually gold or silver with gold plating and bought for a small fraction of what they’re worth. Good luck on your searches!

[@BeckyLundberg]

I really enjoy your videos. You find some beautiful pieces. You may want to look into Alpaca. While it looks a lot like silver, I believe you'll find it's an alloy. Keep the videos coming - so fun!

[@RustyTheReseller]

Thanks!

[@Rose39M]

Yes Alpaca Mexico is just an alloy that looks like silver.

[@edgecitytraders5498]

Wow! That was an unprepossessing looking jewelry jar and it turned out to be phenomenal.

[@kathleenworkman3884]

I think the single green earring that you said isn’t valuable is actually a pendant that someone has tried to make it appear to be an earring. Take the ear wire off and it will be clear to you. It’s probably not a good piece, but you want to classify it correctly. Thank you for your teaching style. Humbly learning together.

[@BlessedBaubles]

You are adorbs! Very happy for your find.

[@joanb8489]

Very informative and interesting. I’ve never seen a jewelry jar. But since I like old jewelry, I’ll be on the lookout for a jewelry jar. I really enjoy your channel. Congratulations on the Tiffany earrings.

[@thriftyhokie4029]

Awesome find Rusty! That could not have happened to a better person. I’m just starting on my jewelry & postcard learning and honestly have learned more from you by far than anyone else on KZbin that I’ve found. Keep these vids rolling out and keep at the hunt! 😀 Tonia

[@RustyTheReseller]

That is awesome! Thanks for the kind words.

[@beverlyhartman2761]

Thanks Rusty! I learned so much 🎉

[@SewTexas]

Nice find! I used to go to garage sale and find wonderful items. My husband found a opal necklace, single stone beautiful on both sides, about half inch oval and 18k chain necklace for $1.50 with a single rose zircon pendant in 14 kt for $1.50, he got for $3.00. We had the opal (my birthstone) valued at $2k. I would use the random pieces of nice random pieces into my hand made quilts! Even put nice ole non-working watches into my quilts! Nice.

[@lisaliv2585]

that was a blast!!!!

[@spicydamesvintagejewelryth2155]

Great video. Congratulations on your incredible find😱🙌🙌

[@RustyTheReseller]

Thanks so much!

[@peterflaherty5653]

Hi Rusty, Alpaca Silver has no silver content it is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc.

[@lavendergal2508]

That off-white stone beaded necklace is hand tied. And that kind of class is usually on nicer pieces like pearl necklaces as in real pearls.

[@fernrmmeador4026]

Hi Rusty glad I found you Hi from Joplin MO

[@janicepenavelilla6223]

Those coral earrings alone are worth it, the orange-y color can indicate “Italian made” which is usually the best kind Sardinian (Italy) is the finer quality 👌🏽💯👍🏽🪸

[@Sheenasalesthriftytreasures]

21:23 nice find 👍🏻

[@margiekraftkindt4208]

The gold ring--it is not a ring for the finger, but a scarf ring and should be pulled a bit apart in the center to feed the scarf, rather than squeezed together. Love your show!

[@JasonBrothers-kg5eb]

I didn't know that alpaca Mexico meant that it was silver good tip Rusty

[@arohalight3670]

Bought my first jar today omg so happy I found a Robert Rose bracelet worth 57 bucks and a beautiful glass bead one Worth 45 !the jar was 9.99 woo-hoo for first time !!!!and I'm still looking threw the jar !!!!at 10 min in the classy piece you think you can sell one came in my jar !!!same clasp but silver color with bluish looking pearls with beads in the middle and these crazy almost abalone pieces 3 of them kinda on the side absolutely beautiful on the beads is some greenish color and white powdery type stuff I'll need to clean it off !!!

[@deannacharette7123]

Wow, This video was posted a year ago and now I see it. Congratulations in your treasure Tiffany Pearl earrings. Wonder what stone or mineral was the necklace? So glad I found your amazing jewelry channel and I subscribed . Great videos!

[@choochalah]

those tiffany earrings are amazing! do you ever use a magnet as a quick test for silver/gold when sorting? I was wondering if that small round pin with the filigree design ended up being something?

[@ipetmermaid8039]

I love these jewelry jars. I make jewelry with beads & seashells, and I dismantle old jewelry and I use the beads and other parts to make new jewelry & things. I have yet to buy my first jewelry jar. I'm sure I'll be hooked! And I couldn't help but notice the mini globe pendant. I have one of those too! The one I have is a little better quality with the continents themselves being cut into more recognizable shapes, and it has that ring around the old skool globes so you could spin them. You're lucky the globe you have has a sterling mark. The oceans of course are Lapis Lazuli and each continent is done in a different semi precious stone. I'm quite fascinated with the piece, as I love anything done in miniature. Mine is done in gold, but still not worth anything to the pawn. I was a little insulted that he referred to it as a nice "marble" LOL And I'd say $20 for that jar was a pretty good score, considering what was in it! You almost can't go wrong with a $20.

[@marlaandrews8344]

I believe the heart locket was sold by JzC Penney in late 70's.

[@JDubGirl]

so cool!! I see someone selling those earrings for about $475 (not sold yet).

[@witatter1]

Beer stein charm says Lowenbrau Munich ( Meunchen is German for Munich).

[@essendonhennessey]

Lovely

[@lillaholt2065]

Hi Rusty - LOVE your content. However, please set up a stationary camera on your desk. The way you move the camera makes me motion sick and does not allow me to fully appreciate what you are trying to show. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing your knowledge.

[@janiceurffer325]

Very interesting

[@shahannagrey8427]

Please put a piece of felt on your bench. So the pieces don’t get scratched 😮

[@carmenbootArt]

Hi Rusty. Your videos are amazing. You really share good content. Congratulations. I will like to maken suggestion. Would you consider by a small tripod tompouce your phone or camera.that way you will have your hands free. 😊 Greeting from Holland. 🎉😊

[@jackiebaker1678]

I think the size5 ring is for scarves.

[@demingfan1]

Hi Rusty! I just discovered your channel & I’m having so much fun 🎉. A few yrs ago, I took a break from nursing and opened a small eBay store - resale shop called Sandy’s (my actual name) Serendipitous Finds. Anyhow, I, like you, had to learn all the trade tricks from books and just reading. The folks who have found your channel are so lucky. The research you do and I did takes hours upon hours to learn so that 1. The seller doesn’t cheat him/herself and so he/she can be honest about the product I’ve still taken away some additional tips from you so THANK YOU! So, the small globe in this video is probably part of a kit that used to be sold - the way I understand it - I still have several of these globes (earrings & pendants) - and so each of the globes you’ll find is individually crafted by whomever purchased the kit. I tried to find the kit for sale but could not. I did find on Etsy some folks selling the globes and one seller claimed to make them. Anyhow, a lot of words for a very small amount of information, I know. Brevity is not my strong suit. I will keep watching your channel. I really like how you compose your information and I enjoy you. Thank you, Sandy from Rochester Minnesota BTW - I really did well with selling new and used legos. Especially around Christmas ☺️

[@RustyTheReseller]

Awesome info Cousin! We hope our work helps. Others did it and it helped me so I'm just trying to "pay it forward" a bit...

[@sueingram5157]

You can test turquoise by sticking a lighter fire to the turquoise stone,if it doesn't burn,or melt, It's real turquoise.

[@Texicanification]

is it a good idea to start by separating by magnetic or not?

[@chrisg8249]

Still have the coral earrings and the single earring at 13:20 with the missing faux pearls?

What do you do with GF items that you find, Is there a place that buys it or separate the gold

[@nildacantell1491]

The one with the Jade if it's an earring remove that piece in the back put a chain on it and you can sell it as a beautiful jad

[@edgecitytraders5498]

11:18 “Alpaca silver” does not contain elemental silver. It is a silver tone nickel alloy. It is pretty much the same thing as “German silver.”

[@RustyTheReseller]

Yeah that was our bad. You are like the hundredth person to comment. We have learned!

[@barbarasch6611]

Haha, in Germany it's called Neusilber, or new silver ...

[@patyeaman]

Many crafters buy cheap(ish) jewelry to take apart, repurpose and create other things.

[@lavendergal2508]

I believe those Tiffany earrings are made from Mabe pearls?

[@ruth1486]

Rusty Dear, you need to hook yourself up with something to hold your phone for you so you can dig in with Both hands!

[@louiselapointe8622]

The pearls on the silver Tifanny earings are called Mabee pearls.

[@jw4879]

Mabe, rather than may-be

Rusty, @ 18:29 timestamp, what you're holding is, I believe, a... something that a woman would use in tying a scarf differently around her neck!

The little globe is silver and the blue part is made of lapus

[@rebeccagilbert1215]

Scarf ring?

[@AquilesBaezaCabeza]

How do you test your jewelry for gold or gold plated besides the acids? Do you actually test jewelry for gold or sterling silver?

[@franvanwye4266]

Jesus, God I’ve been a collector of costume jewelry for over 25 years And I have no idea what the hell to do with them all and what’s tripping me out is there are a bunch a men interested that’s awesome I guess ✌️

[@samcollage7682]

Nickel tarnishes to black and looks like that last necklace.

[@miriamzirato1024]

Do not destroy the patina of old silver jewelry. That destroys value.

[@Millies_helpful_hints]

That alpaca is not silver

Alpaca Silver is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. Sometimes called Nickel Silver or German Silver, the usual formulation is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc. Love your videos by the way

You should’ve dumped that jewelry out on a cloth instead of scraping it all around on rough, bare wood. Yikes.
