Hi Texas gal, the heart shaped charm with the brilliant cut diamond or CZ center on the James Avery bracelet & stamped PLATÁ is the spanish word for Silver. And plátino ( platinum). Tip - you might want to purchase a diamond tester if you don't already have one

Yes they will! They take care of all their broken jewelry. They used to do it for free but I’m not so sure now. Like everything else you know, it’s all changed. I’m sure that clasp won’t be expensive though and they usually have the parts in the store if they have someone available to repair it quickly.

Wow...Glad I found your channel...I worked for Goodwill Industries in Fort Worth, I worked at the corporate offices and Was a teacher in their day hab program for special needs adults. I was the art and drama teach, so we always got to go up to the docks to dig for supplies, either for a play we were putting on, looking for props and costumes or for art supplies. It was a treasure hunt every time...Never knew what we would find. Only thing that sucked was we couldn't take anything home we found and we couldn't set it aside to purchase, we had to hope and pray we found it when it got put in a bin for sale...the store at corporate was by the pound and everything was in bins that they rotate out every hour or so. People would spend all day searching buns, and waiting for new bins to be wheeled out. I think Im going to start treasure hunting at estate sales, garage sales and thrift stores. I enjoy watching channels like yours. Anyways thank you for sharing with us your treasure hunt!

I am not sure how people don’t get how great your lots are! I used to bead. And your lots make me think *every time* that I should get back into it snd try to get as many lots as I can from you. 1) I like some of the things you randomly toss in as wearable immediately. 2) I love all things colorful seed beads. 3) Have you seen what people are doing this Christmas season (and last!) with blingy jewelry?? They make Christmas trees! You can be as intricate or simple as you want. You can even “sew” the tiny little fairy LED lights into them & they look sooo fun! Especially using older costume jewelry.

Pretty surprises are always welcome. The green color you love is called Peridot with a silent "T". : ) Those lobster claw fasteners are often flawed. The only good thing about that design is , that there is a lot more lost jewelry for metal detectorists to find. Right? : ) I'm no fan of the barre; type either, because they slowly unscrew themselves and your jewelry is lost. Enjoy your treasures and your profit.

@@mandydulle7600 there is a sect of Jewish that do believe in Jesus as Lord and saviour. My ex and his family were. I went to church with them several times and actually enjoyed it much more than any Christian church I had ever been to. It actually felt right if that makes sense. Like maybe that was the way it was supposed to be. My interpretation of their beliefs anyways. It just felt right. After him and I broke up I never attended again, being Im not Jewish, but still wish I had converted. May still one day.

I know this is an older one, but a box worth watching and I enjoyed very much. Just an FYI at the 46:10 mark, that was a circus ring master so no need to show disdain. It was a person that came out to the center ring to announce the start of the show. Always wore a top hat, vested tail coat and whip. Nothing other than circus show. It may even be the Disney Ring Master in the movie Dumbo.
