IVORY AGAIN? EBAY JEWELRY LOT Unboxing | Jewelry Jar Haul to Resell on Ebay

[@patriciabird8858]

Thank You Margaret! I feel that saving the Ivory is so important, destroying it seems insensitive .

[@janetskelton4196]

The bird/duck is cracking me up as well. He’s too cute!

[@janierozmaryn97]

I use white vinegar on the verdigris. Soak about 15 minutes, give a gentle scrub with a toothbrush, and voila!

[@SleepyTosaku]

i feel so bad but i LOVEEE the ivory pieces so much.

[@pamelaroark8997]

To clean costume jewelry I use hot water in a bowl with a piece of foil, baking soda and vinegar. I have used this for sterling silver as well. Just watch your pieces and don’t let them soak long, you can scrub with a crinkled piece of foil. Be sure to rinse well with purified water and dry well. A jewelry cleaning cloth does a great job as well.

[@SonjaLSmith]

I love the ivory pieces. I cant see destroying something so beautiful . There were some nice jewelry pieces and designer pieces and broaches. Some cute broaches. Some sterling pieces. It was a good lot with some unusual pieces.

[@silverwolf.jewelry]

The stone in 19:12 is Rhodonite.

[@julesa.5887]

Hi. That small disk that is silvery and colorful, about the size of a dime, that you had in the first half, it is an early holographic disc from the 60's. It was designed by laser prior to the development of CDs, DVDs, etc. Very vintage, and a collector's item.

[@FridayFrida]

I’m a jeweller and a quick tip to clean jewellery is just take a toothbrush and washing up liquid and give it a good scrub. If it’s tarnished do the same with some silver cleaner and then use the washing up liquid. Should only take a minute or so. Watch out for loose stones though. Love your videos. Gives me inspiration and I love watching someone who appreciates jewellery.

[@sgac4670]

Professional proofreader here - 'these ones' is perfectly fine. Some people in the US don't like it, but it's not a grammar error.

[@jennypennyvintage463]

Flava Flav of Christmas.... 😂. Absolutely the best part of the video! You never fail to entertain!

[@janehouck1906]

The green necklace at 19:20 is very pretty. Someone may buy it even if stones are missing because you can’t tell they’re missing unless you really look closely at it. I would mention, if listed, that stones are missing.👍

[@JustCardsBySara]

Rhondite is the stone the pink and black one correct about the sodalite and the aventurine is the green

[@BlessedBaubles]

The best KZbin girl ever!! Lol. Love the dance and song you did with the cute duck piece!! When I need an uplift and a good chuckle, Margaret is the girl.

[@nancycampbell6800]

Black and pink cabachon pendant looks like Rhodonite. I usually see more pink than black, but I've seen the opposite on occasion. Keep in mind, I always go by what I can see, without multiple angles and lighting, I'm only a few notches above guessing.

[@catherinethompson2525]

The Air Force ring is good and I think a you could make some $$ on that!!

[@DianeSwett]

hi Margaret, I'm doing ok being cautious and staying home. I've been sewing masks for family and friends.

[@ronaldasilverberg9251]

I have seen many vintage necklaces described as being in good shape with a little wear on the clasp only . I like 1928 jewelry, and would recommend listing the item .

[@hmars2164]

I love that necklace with the blue gem at 13:50 simple jewelry is my favorite :)

[@dinolemma]

8:32 looks like a perfume necklace.. I think some of them hold a wood ball that can be dipped in oil or perfume

[@nikkig8549]

The red hat brooch WILL sell. Red Hat Society ladies will snatch it up. I sold one a couple years ago. Don’t remember the price, but decent - and mine was a lot smaller

[@AmandaLeigh1004]

Even with the missing stones I would try to sell the green necklace at 19:40, that is truly beautiful and I've not seen anything like it. Someone enterprising might be able to find something to glue in to make up for the gaps, if not I mean the necklace is busy enough that the missing stones might not even be noticed.

[@judywapner]

I saw some freshwater pearls in there, you dont try to sell those? The red hat pin, isn't there a Red Hat Society that wears crazy red hats...that might sell well on it's own. And I think those pearl earrings were real. Maybe freshwater?

[@laurabeth8393]

Love that green and AB vintage necklace and the pink frosted leaf bracelet. Sad they are damaged... 😪 I separate out my vintage stuff that needs repair and sell it all together in a vintage jewelry harvest/repair lot.

[@sandraashizawa2814]

I purchased carved beaded necklaces in Japan in 1974 that were made from deer antlers, as souvenirs. They look just like yours and were inexpensive I'm sure since I was in my early 20s. No elephants in Japan! Lots of deer in Nara that shed antlers annually. Hope this helps with your research.

[@justkibby5959]

I'm gonna have to dig out all my jewelry and do a collection video. Jewelry is fun. And I haven't seen my vintage stuff in a long time

[@lesliejohnson7247]

I don’t wear jewelry but I really love that green one. I’d think someone else would be fine with it whether you find the missing stone or not. It’s gorgeous!

[@auntie_kristie]

“Bonus Earrings” are WAY better than “Bonus Hair” 🤣🙌🏻

[@kell5674]

Great score on the estate grab bag! The black & pink stone pendant could be rhodochrosite, rhodosite, or rhodonite. there are 3 that have the pink & black variations. Sassy tassels forever !!

[@thatssassy9697]

Is the chain at 20:21 maybe a belt? Is there anyone to take suspected ivory to for verification?

[@vickiekarrer5897]

Im very interested in the air force ring. My husband is retired air force and the sapphire is his birthstone.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Sure! Send me an email at [e-mail]

[@DantyDigger]

I did that too. I got a heavy single 14k earring worth 80$. Bought the lot for 40$ so everything else was butter lol

[@brassmousedesign2231]

hi .. i have the matching necklace to that turquoise bracelet with the vertigris 😄 i purchased a lot from them last month.. cool stuff..

[@NChant101]

I use ketchup to clean the verdigris... works for me!

[@jewelrygirlkristin]

I bought a couple artisan made copper bracelets as gifts and ketchup cleaned them beautifully!

[@trishharrison4605]

I think that chain with the s hooks is a belt.

[@itsjenn.4660]

Would definitely buy the penny necklace and that one with the green stones! Those are so cool!

[@jessicasalinas207]

Oh my goodness, I know the puzzle ball that you’re talking about. I have the one my grandpa brought back for my grandma when he was in the navy in the war. 😊💕

[@jillianlea9690]

The chain with the 2 connectors looks like a cardigan /sweater clip

[@thegingerwitch322]

If you cant find a matching stone for that Christmas Tree - a clear one would look like a star at the top of the tree?

[@DantyDigger]

I wish I was looking through jewelry. It's so relaxing. I got into fixing things missing stones for fun

[@juliehowell4693]

Black stone with pink is called Rhodonite and is very pretty.

[@sunhitsthesky421]

Pretty sure that the maker for the duck brooch is GERRYS. :)

[@MrCorvettegirl2]

Hi Margaret I really enjoy your shows And your funny too I believe I have some ivory also But don’t know what to look 👀 for If you have time can you inform me on the basics please Thanks Brenda

[@MellyGats]

I don't even resell stuff, but your videos are addictive 😆.

[@23fd22]

eye shaped stones are called marquise

[@emilyrose7566]

So I don't know how appropriate this comment is, but did anyone else see that "pin by Lucinda" and think that heart looked a lot like woman's nether regions? Lol, maybe it is just me, but I thought it looked a little like a uterus with ovaries or something. Maybe a keyword could be like, fertility or women's empowerment?

[@robynlarue1815]

Thank you for speeding up the sorting.. some you tubers don't and that's when I turn off the video 😂. Thanks for sharing..

[@elisemiczek9575]

i really like the Air Force Ring. i would be interested in it

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Sure! email me at [e-mail]

[@donnamillican5449]

Margaret, could you put a timer on when you're de-tangling so we could know how long that actually takes? I'd love to know if it's 5 minutes or 5 hours lol. I watched a video a few days ago and you had a fistful of tangled chain and said "going right to a lot". You'd be there until August trying to untangle that mess.

[@carolhearn8157]

Hope the second half of this lot is better than the first half! It will need to be in order for you to make a good return on your $80 investment. I've avoided lots at auctions for this reason. Sellers rarely put anything in lots that would sell for more than $15. Even if all your "keepers" are worth $15 each, after taking out fees and shipping (if you do free shipping), you're left with $5 per sellable item or less, so you'd need to sell 16 of your "keepers" before getting into profit on this lot - long odds IMO. In most cases, I think the odds of making a decent return are better buying locally or buying much lower priced ebay lots.

[@margaritagonzales6556]

Love the Christmas tree and all its blinginess! Check the thimble, some are sterling.

[@sarahsorensen3274]

Came her to say the same thing!

[@caroldodson8258]

Put ketchup on verdigris. That's what I use and have had great success with it.

[@catherinethompson2525]

I have that same necklace Indian head penny!!!!

[@terriekover8045]

No the earrings are the bonus item

[@catherinethompson2525]

Another fun and relaxing jewelry vid Thanks for sharing!!

[@sarahj.8372]

Hope the coin necklace is good!! Yes sell one with missing stones...:O://the flave of Christmas piece..love these...

[@angelak5160]

Maybe the earrings with the bird are supposed to be two wee eggs😄

[@WornAgain]

I love fixing JEWELRY.. adding new touch to something..sell it there are a lot of people like me!

[@lorakirmer156]

I have a necklace with the same disc charm at 13:13; my grandma gave it to me and it always reminds me of the CD earring that Zenon wears in Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Here's a picture in case you're not familiar with the movie: www.mtv.com/news/2939059/double-space-buns-zenon/

[@Rachel-ck4xh]

So of the gold tone chains could sell well as they are a vintage style which are perfect for layering and creating a "neckmess" 🤷‍♀️ might be worth a shot?

[@lauraatkinson4790]

Are you sure the duck? isn't marked "GERRY'S"?

[@FaeryVixen]

agree!

[@ariham3502]

Could the barrel clasp bracelet be an anklet?

[@brooklynehays1212]

I would totally buy that "Moana" necklace. So pretty

[@darlahermonson5104]

My class ring is 10K white gold. I have a necklace similar to the ivory one and I didn't know what it is and one like the large round bead with the green gem, but mine is oval. I learn so much just watching these unboxings. Thanks and keep them coming.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Darla Hermonson, :) Thank you very much!! :)

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

I use ketchup to clean verdigris. It works good for me, plus who doesn’t usually have it on hand.

[@taroyuliapetrova]

It's legal to wear ivory. I don't feel like I could buy good lots on ebay for resale.

[@robynlarue1815]

Sometimes I find marks that I can only see with a loupe.crazy tiny!

[@saturngirl1872]

You are so funny! You make my day! I sent you a couple of emails about items in today’s video! Stay safe! Hugs!!

[@marythomas6543]

I’m going to give Em the homework of writing a verse to the sassy tassel song. She’ll love that.😂

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Yessssss!!!

[@tammywhalen3297]

Wow it looked like most of the jewelry was from late 60's into the 70's there are a lot of people that collect it.Can hardly wait see the rest and go down memory lane!

[@JustCardsBySara]

No not a dealbreaker on the leather bracelet id list and id list some of the stuff missing a gem here and there i think they would sell.. yes id sell with the green missing stones

[@KatsAlluringTreasures]

I was going to ask how do you clean the vertigee(sp?) off. Maybe do a video and try some ways 😁

[@codyharrison5275]

Your point that you bought from a seller who doesnt sell jewelry is great idea in my opinion.

[@MrsTenshi95]

please don't burn the Ivory... just donate it to a museum or something like that

[@ericalbany]

You hate dirty tassels? For me it's Dirty Pearls. My aunt wore a string even though all the coating had worn off the beads....and still kept them in velvet box

[@susangill45]

Thank you for not passing them on. Keep your videos and you can prove how long you have had them, most of the laws say 10 years and then you can resale. I too donot think they should be destroyed, after all if the elephant lost his life destroying would add insult to injury

[@fiona_rhiannon860]

My opinion on the ivory... try to have it dated and maybe the maybe donate to a museum... I'm an absolutely HORRIBLE person for this but, I would actually wear the necklace from this video and that dragon bracelet. They are already made, damage has been done it can't be undone and they are so beautiful.

[@thegingerwitch322]

But if you dont wear it, they might not kill another one - because nobody will see and admire it and want something made from ivory. How something made of bits of an animal that had to die could possibly be beautiful, but hey, each to his own

[@jillianlea9690]

Yeah ivory can be sold if it is from certain years ...

[@CommonSense-iu6wz]

I totally agree

[@susand9296]

@@thegingerwitch322 It's not 'each to his own' - the elephant didn't have a choice did it? Some elephants have their tusks hacked off while they are alive and conscious. It should be destroyed, it represents all that is wrong with humanity.

[@thegingerwitch322]

@@susand9296 Did you even read my response? I was being ironic. I dont agree with any animal being killed for any reason

[@deborahroper3694]

I love ducks...they quack me up!

[@ericalbany]

HGE - Heavy Gold Electroplate If the USAF ring was genuine it would have a mark and a class year. You could buy them in gift catalogs

[@snuassauns]

It had a year on it. MCMXLVIII I think that means 1948.

A do exactly the same!!! I won’t buy off a seller if they LOOK like they know what to look for 😂

[@denesevanover6386]

Anklet with Barrel clasp

[@tammywhalen3297]

Im also a Texas Gal i live near Galveston Island.

[@BigBribreezy]

I swear I learn so much from you already and I just subscribed a few weeks ago. I did not know those were scarf clips lol i have so many I purchased from thrift shops. I just hook them on chains 🤣🤣🤣. I also have to go back and look at a few pieces because they may be ivory. I always assume it's not because I thought ivory was really expensive and illegal so why would anyone sell it. So now I have to double check. Thanks a lot for all of your info😁😁

[@lindacalfee5965]

I would like to buy the Christmas tree necklace

Does anyone know who’s the maker of a “D” hangtag on necklaces??? Thanks!

[@daizyoranges]

Are you sure the round ivory beads aren't Tagua nut ivory? It seems like beads would be the perfect thing to make from Tagua nuts.

[@rachelrieger4075]

1928 sells well for me but only in the 12-14 range

[@BB-ni8vx]

Honestly I would keep some of the ivory as it’s really pretty, I have 2 antique carved tusks and an antique silver and ivory brooch from my grandmother, but it’s unfortunate history is the problem. I think the dragon bracelet and the necklace are absolutely gorgeous honestly and it’s a shame that they may be destroyed, I also don’t see the point in destroying them anyways as it’s already been made. Maybe you could have a historian or jeweler date them? I don’t really know much about that sort of thing though.

[@fiona_rhiannon860]

I'm a HORRIBLE person for this but I would wear the necklace from this video and that dragon bracelet 🤐😬

[@suspectsez4203]

Fiona_Rhiannon Yep, I’m a horrible person too. I’d wear them.

[@FRANNIEOGURL]

GERRY'S makes lots of animal pins just like your duck

[@vintageglee6406]

Brasso metal polish and toothbrush works for me most of the time 🙂

[@beverleybee1309]

Just an FYI, not all ivory is actually ivory by our definition, some of it is bone that was carved to look like ivory. It is sold to tourists who don't know what they're looking at. The bone has the same striations as ivory, since technically ivory is a type of bone. You will need an expert's evaluation to be sure.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

I get that, but I also know what Schreger lines look like.

[@lesliejohnson7247]

A lot of jewelry ppl I follow leave cleaning verdigris up to the buyer. You’re actually removing the silver and some people like it too.

[@vintagesuperstarco.1549]

People like it? I wonder if they know it's destructive to the metal and contagious to other jewelry. I always remove it before selling to assess if the piece has been damaged.

[@terriscroggins9666]

You remind me of it? Is that the one from the Adams family that spoke with it’s hands.

[@BB-ni8vx]

Terri Scroggins Cousin It is the big hair guy, Thing is the hand. Hope that helps!

[@DizzyAngie]

💕 Thanks for making me smile 💕

[@dinolemma]

AFAIK Aquamarine is wayyy more expensive than Topaz.. my birthstone is Aquamarine and I haven’t been able to afford any yet. I assume aquamarine would be associated with higher quality pieces and Topaz would be used as a stimulant for a higher end stone.

[@fascination2525]

Someone sold the Gerry's duck on eBay auction for $2.99 + shipping (only one bidder). Someone else has it listed Buy It Now (but not yet sold) for $13.45+ shipping.

Margaret, you did NOT stat singing the Duck Song! It’s going to be stuck in my head for hours now.

[@vixistixi]

Definitely don’t burn ivory....it would make poor elephants life a total waste. I would hide it too or maybe a museum but not destroy it. 🐘
