Thrift Store 14k Italian GOLD Bracelet For $2 Bucks!?!

[@BlessedBaubles]

Since you asked, TS 8:31 chain is Box Chain. And I agree that the agate looks Jasper. The copper enameled earrings are stunning! I’m sure you know all about untangling chains, but if not, I have videos on Untangling where I use pins on a paper plate. But your magnet method is really worth a try in my untangling future! 😃 TS 13:01 is a Fidget toy. TS 21:48 MOP sometimes called Balamuti which your neighbor will know about. Well, that’s enough yapping from me. Tnx for the video. Looks like you’ve been able to get to making videos after all. 👍

[@CrowDragonPirate]

Well, the magnet I use mostly to determine which chains are worth untangling. It's really a prioritization thing. I only really bother getting the precious metals out ;) Excellent, thanks for the identifications! Still trying to grind out the videos!

Hi there ! Letting you know that blessed bobbles sent me. 😊 I enjoyed going through the bag with you. I sure did think that one silver chain was sterling! Your neighbor is lucky that you keep things for her! 😊 Anyway, enjoy your day, and I look forward to future videos ! Congrats on finding that gold bracelet !!

[@CrowDragonPirate]

Thank you for joining me! And yes, very jazzed about that gold bracelet, that is not an every day (or even every month!) kind of thing. Let me know if I can improve the videos in any way :)

My daughter would love that stone, she’s 16 and she still picks up stones.

[@CrowDragonPirate]

I'm 43 and I still pick up stones! (I hide them in my kid's sandbox and they get to dig up cool rocks).

[@cortneydaKing]

That little chain you were wondering the name of is called a "Box chain"😊

The star symbol is Italian and the 545 or whatever the number next to it is the maker's number. The two letters on the right will be the city it was made in. I will try and decifer it for you tomorrow...but there are charts. I have found sterling and gold with these codes. I think it is an " x's and o's" design. If the maker is famous it shoots the value up significantly. (Like if Palamo Picasso designed it...she designs an XO line for Tiffany and Co.). There's $425 CAD in scrap...but it sells for over $600 to about $2400 CAD on Etsy. As a general rule I take scrap and multiply it by 3 minimum to resell. It's in excellent condition. What a score! The crown trifari earrings go for about $50 CAD. I also just found 925 sterling necklace that had a copper tarnish...it buffed off...so don't give up on that necklace. Your etsy friend will do fine, your daughter gets a sparkly barrette, perhaps someone gets some craft items left over, and we viewers get to drool over that gold bracelet! I loved this video!

[@CrowDragonPirate]

Thank you, I had the moment to look it up, VI Vicenza and 545 is for Rezzadore!

[@Susanne-x6s]

@@CrowDragonPirate That makes my heart happy! I have never been able to find the maker of the 18kt tie clip (I have only found one gold item with these symbols)...and I haven't found the maker's on any of the well made sterling items either. At least I found the city though. I have to say that the items with this set of symbols are always very well made. I am so glad the bracelet was overlooked. I have a feeling that the 2 textures made the gold appear like 2 slightly different colors...so they thought it was costume?...but why keep a $2 item behind a counter...perhaps they were plotting a "sweet heart" deal? Hope you know what that is :)

@@Susanne-x6s Took a bit of digging, but I was able to find my mark on this thread: www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27003 there's a search bar on the top that did the job for me. I hope that will work for you too!

[@Susanne-x6s]

@@CrowDragonPirate Thank you! I will check it out.

[@Coinpicker]

The stamp is the maker’s mark which is numerical and can be searched. There will also have a place code too. Great find!

[@rama6590]

The gold bracelet is a great find!

[@M.RInvestorChannel]

💯

[@BradYaateeh.]

That tumbled polished stone is moss agate. That necklace with the wood burning "pendant" was very intriguing.

[@CrowDragonPirate]

Yeah, I'm sending that one over to my neighbor. Gold fill and a very pretty little pendant is something I expect someone will want.

[@MUDSWAT]

I've never thought or know to think about them hiding the mark inside the clasp. Good thing to look out for, thanks for sharing!

[@CrowDragonPirate]

Unfortunately, I don’t have as much gold since I actually cashed out a bunch of it to buy more silver this year, but I’ll dig out some bracelets that have hidden marks and do a video on where to look for them. I’ve actually found that on bracelets the Gold mark is more commonly hidden inside the clasp then outside of it. Of course my experience is just gold that I found a garage sales and thrift shops so maybe I have a very weird sample of the gold that people don’t realize is gold .

[@SolarSeeker45]

You may want to double check, I've seen a lot of crosses like that on ebay that were 14K gold.

[@CrowDragonPirate]

Double checked, it's marked Germany and it is pretty clearly aluminum. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@gmgssilverplate]

Oh man I'm getting inspired to do jewelry instead of silverware for a little while

[@higherhaze3544]

thats like $400 worth of gold 🔥 sweet find!

[@danielpeters3760]

The silver chain. It is called a box chain. Good luck

[@bonniepiehler693]

I untangled a gold chain from a mess like that and sold it for good $.

[@adrianburns9579]

nice score

[@higherhaze3544]

what kind of thrift store, mom and pop?

[@CrowDragonPirate]

Yeah, just a local chain.

[@BlessedBaubles]

You bragger!!! lol. J/k. I’m very happy for you! And look at you unboxing jewelry! Fun!! I’ve been finding some good yellow stuff myself! 🙌 But I must say, I often make much more on vintage, let’s say, Neiger Brothers or Bakelite (plastic) jewelry. Just sayin….

[@CrowDragonPirate]

Haha, I am sure you have found vastly more impressive finds :) I will unbox jewelry as I find it, but I don't really buy it online pretty much ever. I just find that there is too much competition for the weird stuff I like and I can't really afford it. When I find it locally though, I snag it. I have...so much. From jewelry jars and bags and garage sales.
