Treasure haul! 3 Generations of Jewelry! What will we find?!

[@tammymartin7017]

Jeweler here! That ruby and diamond bracelet in white gold should fetch you a pretty penny. Those silver charm bracelets are super valuable, especially since they are as full as they are and with nice charms. Awesome haul!

[@mariedanks4880]

Me too.That bracelet looked like white gold.This a haul!

[@mariedanks4880]

I didn't notice the ruby and diamond tennis bracelet in the small gold box until I watched a second time.Can't wait to see the rest!

[@andradapasat8400]

Jeweler too...you had me look back too 😅 you are right

[@patriciayoung3267]

Jello salads were so popular because in the past gelatin was very hard to make. Only the rich could afford to serve it. It was a very high status symbol to have on your table. Then a man named Knox started making dry gelatin from cow hooves, a by-product of the tanning industry in Gloversville NY. So now anybody could have gelatin. Mr. Knox became very wealthy and endowed his home city of Johnstown, NY with many donations and buildings. Gloversville was known as the Glove manufacturer to the world in it's day. My Mother worked in a Glove factory there that made the gloves for Queen Elizabeth on her Coronation.

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

Thank you for that history!

[@redfog42]

Everything in aspic! 😁

[@karenkouns577]

Love jewelry and this unboxing was so enjoyable. Would love to see again once organized. Thanks for sharing!

[@happeedaze1]

Me too!

[@BlazingSadles]

I would love to see it piece by piece. Spent way to much time on the cook book 🙄. Jewelry and s much more interesting.

[@lorrainemcdonald7332]

I'm 67yrs old and I am starting to give my precious, to me, things to the people that I want to have them. I want to see them being enjoyed. I NEVER want someone going over my things after I'm gone.

[@patpeters6331]

I am 74 and doing the same. Want the people I care about to enjoy the pieces now.

[@PK-bh1ww]

I collect and sell jewelry Esp rings. I am saving my favorite for my daughter, grand daughter and nieces to go through when I pass. They know I'm collecting and saving some and I want them to be surprised like it's Christmas.

[@friedafa]

I though how someone made the charm bracelets of their travels, and now they're just in a pile. Who was that? What were they like? Did they go those places before plane travel was common? Breaks my heart. And the engagement ring and wedding band - how could that be lost to the family. My grandmother's is lost due to some blended families and poorly written wills and it kills me.

[@pattimessenger6214]

My wedding and engagement set used to rub against each other. I lost a small diamond because of it. I had the stone replaced, and I had the ring set soldered together, about 30 years ago. I’m glad I did! No more rubbing. No more fussing to keep them together.

[@MsVan13]

14:40 that claps bracelet with the turtle like things. I had one from my grandma but I broke it. So cool to see it again.

[@lauriemaccini8938]

I'm a charm bracelet fan. Ended up combining charm bracelets into a necklace because I'd collected so many! Wish I could hear a story for each charm, looks like the owner had amazing vacations all over the world!

[@lorrainebritton3802]

Oh my 😍 my idea of heaven! Love sorting jewellery and money. Got my cup of tea and sitting comfortably so let the adventure begin. Wow just loved the books, wonder if they could be restored. Thank you for cheering up a grey rainy day in the uk x

[@theart3813]

The Mexican silver bracelets appear to have white or rainbow opal stones. Very beautiful!

[@amywright2243]

This lady would have been my friend...I collect old cookbooks, costume jewelry pins (like grannies wear to church), and children's books. Sending a kind thought for her memory and I hope her collection is cherished by your fans at auction!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?

[@pmetzler5443]

You definately how a very nice return coming your way... just by seeing the first glimpse of your jewerly. Absolutely. Nice buy.

[@suefinger6085]

My daughter worked in a Pharmacy and introduced me to little sealable bags. I use them to keep my jewelry in - to keep the pieces separated so they don't damage each other. Plus to keep sets together. They come in a wide assortment of sizes and I love the organization it gives me. Just an idea for you. Keep the videos coming, love your channel.

[@melissalehman2891]

I absolutely LOVE vintage jewelry !!!!! It would be heaven on earth for me if I ever had the pleasure of sorting through something like this 👍👍💕💕

You definitely got a deal!

[@sparkleflair]

As much as I love sparkly things, I LOVE the children's books! Thanks for sharing your purchase with us!

[@sandylee9564]

It makes me wonder what stories this jewelry could tell of the owners adventures. I love finding treasure. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@cynthiacleaver9742]

[@rian6858]

My absolute favorite thing to go through is old jewelry boxes. I need episode 2 please!

[@CopingwithGrattitude]

Yes, I would love to see each piece; and spread out, untangled.

[@richardsigman3776]

Yes, yes, Alex, please do another video of your jewelry haul. I saw some items you didn’t talk about and I (we) would love to see it in more detail. Thank you for all the hours of work you put in to do rhese

[@lisagrafton2529]

It's so nice you could remember your dad, through the radio you bought! I remember my dad through certain foods he loved! He passed away just 3 months before his 60th birthday, from complications from y'all bladder surgery. I happened to turn 60 on July 18, so I thought about him a lot!

[@JestRLee]

Love all the little treasures you find to be kept and saved for posterity... The keeping of history is the true treasure...

[@debbielance3892]

Loved this unboxing. Great finds! Enjoyed this big time. 👍🙂👍

OMG!! Such fun "sorting" with you~ and I collected old cook books myself and know the pleasure of reading how things in the kitchen were done a long time ago~

[@macorourke2222]

Good video Brother Alexander. Always interesting going through boxies of stuff. Thanks for sharing Your Adventures 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇨🇦 🎉🎉👏👏🎉🎉💯💯

SUPER collection of goodies 😍

[@pamelapilling6996]

Would love to see another video with all the pieces.

[@mariedanks4880]

Please!

[@DS-ky9dl]

This was a super pick! So much fun for us to see the treasures that you find. Please hunt for more of these types of unboxings as they are great fun!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

The "cameo" looks like a pretty rare vintage WEDGWOOD blue Jasperware angel brooch in sterling! I would say that if you put $175 on it you would sell it fast ❤️

[@fourrosethrifters]

Yes I thought Wedgwood soon as I saw it, it’s a beautiful piece!!

[@Redsquirl30]

yep, it reminds me of Jasper ware. It looks expensive.

[@althelas]

I saw it and went like "Oh, this is a blue Jasperware. I want it."

[@denisemeredith2436]

Vintage Wedgwood Jasperware brooches are usually set in Silver and sell for between £30-40 Sterling so $175 is excessive.

[@00jyjsarang]

@Stella Marie Poetry and Green Arts It's marked Wedgwood England. You can get them right now on ebay for $US 40-70.

[@littlsuprstr]

The cameo looks like a Wedgewood Jasperware. Definitely collectible.

[@PK-bh1ww]

Looks like costume 1970's by the metal. Not really high end collectable. jmho. Needs more researching

[@SeanieVoiceOver]

It does appear to say something like Wedgewood ENGLAND a on the rear

[@bryndishuldaasgeirsdottir6373]

Thanks for a video filled with the magic of the past, many wonderful pieces you have there, and hard to make up my mind which item I found most interesting. That being said, the collection of children’s books and old cookbooks would probably be at the top, although there were many nice and interesting jewelry pieces there too. Congrats on a good haul and thanks for an interesting vlog.

[@dawnleopold]

What a nice collection lots of beautiful treasures. I love old jewelry I think it was made so much stronger then the jewelry today and some pieces are so much more intricate. 🙂❤️

[@amyweaver7413]

What lovely old jewelry - and the fireside books! Wonderful.

[@johndavis1686]

Beautiful collection.

[@jennyleighton2063]

your videos are fabulous great to see all the wonderful things very entertaining God bless you

[@cheryalhussain975]

As a lover of stones, the insect, fish and other stone pieces in the collection, were quite exciting. My favorite pieces were the amathist jem piece, topped by the silver figurine and The blue cameo piece was very nice as well. Enjoy your videos and finds.

[@jodivandyk3649]

Love the jewelry! Would love to see it again once it was organized!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?

[@billswifejo]

And cleaned!

[@suejohnson6254]

I loved this, jewelry unboxing is my favorite!

[@carolskillman9829]

Nice lot of items. Those little books are amazing! I'll have to watch for the garnet/silver bracelet at auction as it's my birthstone.

[@chrisweller746]

Boy you get History dropped right in your lap! Cool stuff!! House is looking great too!!!

[@wingsoffiergirl1279]

I would love to see all the rest of the jewelry.

[@JenniferJadeKerr]

These videos are so fun. Makes me feel like I'm rummaging through my grandma's jewelry box again. And I hear ya on the veggies in jello rant. The two should NOT meet.

[@katharinehammond3215]

Please show us the jewellery all laid out. Love seeing jewellery, it shows so much about the people who owned them. The books are such a great find. You will do well with this purchase xxx Please also tell us how you make out and if any one item was super special x

[@Cate7451]

Red garnet bracelet is lovely

[@mcwatersd]

You have some very interesting pieces of jewelry there. I think you got a good deal. I love old cook books some are so interesting in the difference of how food was prepared and what was eaten back when. But what really caught me eye was the childrens books. Wish I could afford them would have snapped those up in a jiffy. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤

[@CathyMiller0711]

Neat haul. Thanks for sharing it.

[@rhondawest6838]

So much of this collection is exactly what I like. It's like the collector was my twin 😊

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋 dear , how are you doing?

[@lilalay5586]

Lots of lovely pieces!

[@leithsapitan1428]

That thousand dollar investment could yield you tons! I hope you make millions!

[@katwitanruna]

Wow! That haul looks incredible! Love the garnets.

[@MrGaryRoberton]

The contents are more a timeline of someones life, adventures, travels and experiences. About as close to a time machine as we can get. I often think what a treat it would have been to talk to the owner. Fires the imagination Alexander. Cheers|!

[@l.m.2404]

I agree, Gary Roberton. The collector had them carefully separated into different categories from what I could tell, Canadian travel, International travel and the third looked like unique ones, perhaps events? It is very nice that she kept to the sterling silver standard. :)

[@joannegriffin]

Cool stuff! I have the silver sombrero earrings!

[@carriemcarthur8125]

I am a jewelry consultant pricer and this is just eye candy for me. Love the brooches just everything. Your family is growing up for sure. Canada is my country and so proud you and your family and show are part of it. Woohoo 👍❤️🇨🇦

[@SwirlingSoul]

This is SUCH fun to see, and I will never ever get enough of looking through interesting things. That fish was awesome! I hope to see it again.

[@MoonRaven777]

Omg..Alex,there were some really beautiful things in there!I saw a lot of fun earrings and the bracelet with the garnets(?)was stunning❣️😍 The cameo was so different and amazing❣️😍And I saw a bracelet with 3 different colored silver/gold hearts. The cookbooks blew me away! Who doesn’t want a cookbook from 1828?!? I do❣️🥰😍📚 And also the small children books from 1895,I would LOVE them all❣️🥰😍

[@maristresemann4552]

I loved the jewelry. My favorite is rings. You should have melissa and Abigail do a video on the jewelry too!

[@mariedanks4880]

Yes please

[@judithpride1690]

12:39 This bangle deserves some research. I am not saying that it is a Georg Jensen, but it remind's me of a Georg Jensen curve bangle made with 18 kt yellow gold, and sterling silver which sells in the UK for more than GBP4000 (four thousand).

[@barbaralavoie1045]

A really nice collection of jewelry. Love those books!❤️❤️

[@jackandpiper]

That’s a really fun collection! I would love to see it all separated! Thank you!❤️

[@pueblodove]

Those charm bracelets should go for around $300. each on Ebay! What an excellent score! As for the old gold wedding bands check what they are going for on Etsy!! Pretty high!

[@SuperKiddles]

OMG! SOOOO jealous! Getting to go through any kind of bulk treasure is my dream! I cant believe how big this one is! Love it!!!!

[@sylviajones4907]

Aw, you bought that just for us. Love the unboxing of bulk jewelry, coins, & books. Thanks for sharing, Alex.

[@kayapostolas3387]

Those 3 charm bracelets might make a huge profit for you! I collect them I’ve never found one with that mean charms in the wild. Just checked Etsy 2 different bracelet with over 20 charms were US dollars $356 each. Good luck!!

[@frenchartantiquesparis424]

Yes, I said the same thing..... 350 on Etsy, I'm an Etsy seller myself.

[@traceye.6428]

I have a BIRKS silver charm bracelet exactly like the first one show, I’ll have to count the charms, it is so loaded, I can’t even wear it. It’s 59 years old. I remember pretty much all the charms and when my parents bought them and where they travelled. I have some pretty unique charms. One is a pineapple from Hawaii. The body of the fruit is almost like a basket weave, so you can see through it. Inside are green fossilized lava pieces. That one was from 1972 or so. Charms back then were so detailed and well made.

[@traceye.6428]

I just counted. There are 34 charms on the bracelet and a few in the box. I still have the velvet jewellery box it came in too.

[@kayapostolas3387]

@@traceye.6428 Wow Tracey that’s a sounds great ! Pineapple sounds super neat! I’ve not worn mine for years decided recently to start wearing it, it’s from high school. Wear the collected ones often! Im starting a new one now for this period of life!

[@cgholman5626]

What a great collection to go thru. I hope you have a diamond tester because you have some diamonds in all that. And yes, that is garnet in that bracelet. I just went thru a huge collection and found 14kt gold charm bracelets! 2 of them full! You never know what's in those collections but they are worth the time and work...have fun!

You should get in touch with your countryman Glen of the channel Glen and Friends Cooking. He collects and cooks recipes from old cookbooks.

Most of that jewelry is worth a pretty penny especially with the stones. I love that chunk of amethyst with the pewter figurine on it. You will get your funds back and more. Good luck and have fun.

I get to sort through the jewelry hoards we get donated at the Thrift Shop where I volunteer 💖 It’s so much fun! Even if it’s just junk from the 80s :) We research the brands we don’t know and I’m surprised by How much I have learned. We will repair the broken stuff and create some new “pieces” from the pieces… if all else fails we make junk bags for crafters.

[@margavanderwel1485]

That is really neat, what a great job =)

[@rosaliethomson4655]

That's why I don't go to thrift stores. Most of the good stuff goes to people like you. Not sure people who donate realize they are just giving to volunteers.

[@carly1478]

@@rosaliethomson4655 she never said she takes the jewelry. Just that she sorted it.

[@nancyayers8322]

It's true though. I used to buy and sell collectibles. I had a couple of friends in the business who volunteered at the thrift stores just so they could get the best stuff first! I always thought it was so unfair 😕

[@TruthIsTheNewHate84]

I've hit up thrift stores quite a bit for those junk bags of jewelry. I use them to make fancy canes and walking sticks. I've sold some for a couple hundred but often I give them away to elderly people who look like they could use a cane. I just enjoy making them and going through the junk bags at the thrift store always gives me inspiration.

[@kathleenpitt1981]

What a fun trip down memory lane! I’ve owned similar jewelry to the pins. Old cookbooks are such fun to read. They give a view of life in the 1800s. My favorite are the charm bracelets. I’d love to look at each charm and guess where they’re from. Thanks Alexander.
