Thanks so much! Jewelry is a favorite of mine. I gain so much knowledge from you and can't be happier with your channel. You look extra happy today. I love the circles on your sweater (top) that compliment the red circles on your bracelet and earrings. Again, thank you for all you do!

I strike gold every time I watch your videos, Dr. Lori and I watch them a lot! I've learned so much from you and continue to learn! I have a fixation for costume jewelry because of you and I'm starting to be able to visually identify certain jewelry makers based on what you've been teaching us in what to look for! I'm hooked! You're absolutely invaluable, and THEE only resource I go to for trusted and accurate information! I really hope to meet you one day!

You are an excellent teacher, Dr. Lori. Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind what makes these marks so special/ how they made your list. S. A. L. ---> brb.

[@donnahughes8409]

Thank you Dr. Lori for this wonderful information on costume jewelry. I love costume jewelry so much & have several pieces of it in my collection. When my Mother passed my Sister only wanted my Mother’s $3000.00 wedding set so she threw all of her other jewelry including all of her costume jewelry in the trash. 🤦🏼‍♀️Because she thought it was all of know value to her. Well it didn’t take me to seconds to dig it out of the trash. She said, what do you want junk jewelry for. I said because it’s was my Mother’s 😢

[@mullygirl1]

:( .. Sorry for your loss. Good for you, though. I have lots of my mom's costume jewelry, as well as other relatives like my aunts and grandma's! I only wish that our house wasn't broken into back when I was a teen. The thieves took a whole dresser drawer full of my faves. I've loved costume jewelry since I was a child.

Hi Dr Lori. I love that your doing this video on pearls. I have about 15 different necklaces but I couldn't figure how to send it with the link. Probably because i went through 25 pounds over the weekend and found some beautiful Viv and Ingrid 1957 est Astral crystal hoops made from Sworovski. That are just badass. I guess they are new though . But made with the Sworovski crystals. Sexy !! Orange and Pinkish 😊 i scored over 75 different pairs of earrings. 😅 all vintage with a bunch of Roseries that are really nice. Only 5 or 6 pearl necklaces have potential and some have been found on Google lens for 50 ish dollars but a few come up high dollar and must be a mistake.

I think they are unique and more people will collect them someday. That being said, I love the more high end stuff too!
