My mom placed all her jewelry in a screw holder toolbox. When she passed I acquired this box and that thing has so much jewelrey in it. I wear pieces sparingly. Your collection is awesome.

When my father passed, I “inherited” his bracelets, chains, cufflinks, etc…they’re worth more to me than anything. Now my goal is start a collection that’ll eventually go to my daughter. Thank you for showing us your very personal and intimate collection. We appreciate you🤗

This is one of the best, most original jewelry box collection reveals. I love that you don't have the (IMHO) boring, look at me, I'm low key rich ostentatious jewelry stacks. Your jewelry collection is rich with meaning, history and AND fine metals and beautiful stones. Your connection to your jewelry makes it even more beautiful. Thank you for peek-see!

I'm very pleased that you honored our request. My eyes are always glued to your jewelry, specifically your rings. I'm a huge sucker for a good ring and earring anyday anytime. What a unique and stunning collection of jewelry you have. Thank you! Ps. Silver is indeed for you. Your vibe is edgy feminine and silver does edge better than gold.

I literally gasped when I saw this video came out! Your jewelry was what caught my eye in the first video I saw of yours. I’m so happy you shared the stories behind all your pieces and let us see them up close! 🙏🏼 Jewelry is always my favorite part of outfits so I’m glad you go for it! It’s inspiring!

The pearl is called a blister pearl! They're so pretty 💛 You have a beautiful collection

Wow! The bear claw piece is incredible

My Mom use to shop with Benny the jeweler in Queens. Funny because I have always noticed your charm and wanted to add something similar to my wish list for this year.

Your energy is immaculate 🙏🏼 love & light to you

Ma’am, your have a lovely and extensive jewelry collection! All of your jewels are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!❤

I love the sentiment and stories behind your jewelry collection. Also, the family photos are beautiful.❤

Truly enjoyed this video. You are becoming my number one KZread personality…. Carolyn, you are the perfect combination of style and wit- you are classy and ratchet at the same time and I’m here for all of it🫶🏾

Hey, Queen Cookie, once again, you nailed it!!! You not only provided interesting commentary but also, compelling family stories that allowed the “ Cookie Community” to learn and appreciate you that much more…. thank you ❤❤❤❤What a unique and beautiful collection of jewelry you have. Historically, because I've had allergic reactions to most metals, I have an interesting collection of many things- most without meaning😳😳😳. I have my grandmother’s diamond engagement ring from the 1940s. I’m grateful that I have this heirloom. Again, thank you for providing great insight and sharing a wonderful way to think about and expand our collection with intentionality for real meaning… love that! See you next time, Queen Cookie. ❤❤❤❤

The beauty of gifted jewelry is so underestimated ❤A few years ago, my family had a reunion, and my aunt brought her jewelry box with her and allowed us to take what we wanted ❤ I absolutely cherish the pieces that I have and every time I wear a piece I feel so connected to her ❤ Thank you for sharing and sharing the stories behind your pieces ❤

This collection is so original and refreshing. Thanks for sharing

❤ love the ones from your grandma

Girl you have the most wonderful personality! You have a light inside I swear

I love the family pictures and heirlooms.

Hi Carolyn, I love your taste and your style in your jewelry 🦋

Yessssss been waiting on this!

I LOVE those pearl cuffs!

I love jewelry. Your collection is so unique and stunning! Yes for more jewelry related videos 😊

I too, have my mom's silver bangles from the seventies. She had about seven of them that she wore consisently during that time and she was ready to give them away recently. I grabbed them for myself because I have such great memories of the sound that they used to make when she wore them. Plus they are such great statement pieces that you never see anymore.

Love the globe earrings. So blessed ❤

beautiful i love your collection! LOVE your dome ring!

Yes. This is the one I have been waiting for 🎉

LOVE the STORY TIME presentation of your jewelry collection especially the jewelry you got from your family!!! I agree with you jewelry should be a SOULFUL choice, it should not be about a designer label or brand!!!

I was intrigued to you by Pretty Brown Girl Chee. And I’m happy I clicked on..

Thanks 4 sharing your collection! I personally love vintage jewelry! 🌟

I loveeee your rings. That’s what I gravitate towards first before all else. But that fork bracelettttt 😮‍💨

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your collection! I too am a jewelry girl, sterling in particular. I wear a lot of rings on my fingers, too! Thanks for another AMAZING video and THANK you for sharing ❤

It was really interesting to hear the backstory of your collection and why you're drawn to certain things. I have so many things that were my mom's that I might not have chosen but I love them so much because they were hers❤

This video 10/10......I love all the sentimental pieces from your family and how you smiled when talking about each piece. The pearl ring and the hammered cuff and of course the Tiffany cuff were some of my favorites. I like all the stones turquoise and tiger's eyes. These stones have different energies and meaning.

Love love love all the pieces and the history behind them. And, YES you WILL take Carlos last name!!!!!! ❤

Thoroughly enjoyed this video❤!!!

Your jewelry is beautiful, great collection!

Loved this video, I enjoy all the jewelry talk 😊

Lovely and unique collection !

a great collection 😍

Loved this video! We have similar taste in jewelry, especially the silver and turquoise pieces. I have the Caribbean bangles up my arm. I've had them since high school and my fork bangle. My family also believes in not jinxing the ring finger! You have a beautiful and special collection! I enjoyed listening to your family stories.

Loved this video so much and the stories behind all the pieces! Jewelry speaks so loudly to me and I’ve also always been drawn to turquoise. My collection is quite large because I always buy jewelry when I travel to a new country so would love to hear how you store your pieces.

You are very inspirational…the jewels spectacular ❤❤❤❤

Really great video. Personal and authentic ❤

Two connections, my name is Maria and I live in Bermuda!! Happy to be a new subscriber!

The turquoise dirty looking bracelet is actually oxidised silver. Its made to look antique. You can use a soft toothbrush and some toothpaste to clean it if you want but oxidised silver doesn't need agressive cleaning. If its brass plated silver, the yellow will eventually come out. A clear top coat of nailpolish will stop that from happening.

I love silver jewelry! ❤

You made me bring out my old silver jewelry and some jewelry that I’ve disrespected to come out and give it some respect and some love.

Love the cg necklace and the story

Brava! magnificent discussion. You have fabulous jewelry. I mixed all of my metals. I believe there is a strong spiritual connection to jewelry. *Your children photos are so adorable. Lots of valuable information. Thank you!

Love your collection

Jewelry is very personal indeed. I am glad someone else agrees 😊❤👍🏾

I love your videos, CG 🎉

I love the silver bangle. It reminds me of Wonder Woman, who is my favorite avenger of all time.

silver jewelry >>

Thank U❤. That arm candy fire

You have a fabulous collection! I could be wrong, but I think that tiger's eye ring you were showing was a marcasite piece. That's to say, it was encrusted with bits of pyrite, but for some reason the result is called marcasite. I love marcasite jewelry, so seeing an example here was ~chef's kiss~. Similarly the green stone on that other ring is probably malachite. Great video!

New 🍪 cookie!! My son initials are CG. Awww 🥰 I love your jewelry collection.

The cuff and ring that has the turquoise stones that patina, the base metal is brass or copper that is why it has turned yellow. I design jewelry so that is usually an indicator of a yellow base metal

I've had the bone cuff on my wish list a while, but even the small looks large on my 5'3" frame and small wrists. I think it's a look I'd have to get used to.

they have a smaller one than this. I went in looking for the large (long) cuff with the split in the middle and I learned quickly that one was not for me and this one was....maybe try the smaller version.

Great collection

Just wanna acknowledge the girlies who lose every damn thing. May we one day break the cycle 🫡

LMAO, yes please. I lose things here and there but not as much as I used to.

Gosh I loved those silver bangles in the 80s (teen). What beautiful gifts you have been given. I am so glad to have a little granddaughter to pass things down to now. You have inspired me YET AGAIN to wear my pieces CG. My grandmother died a few years ago and I received a beautiful little tiny ring that my grandfather bought her when they met in italy. I love it, and wish I could attach a picture of it, It's unique it only fits on the pinky... I am going to start reaching for these things. Wow I have got in such a rut working from home for 3 years - Black Stretch Pants and T's and no jewelry on... You have inspired me to do the things that I used to that bring me joy. I almost miss going into the office to wear clothes and such. We love you, Cookie! 🤩

Jewelry is one of my favorite things 🥰 You have a beautiful collection. My favorites are the turquoise cuff & pearl ring! Are you sure the goldish-silver pieces aren’t brass? 😅I didn’t realize you’re not married,I love that for you, happy nuptials in advance!

I love you hair like this

i never inherited jewelry from my family and i have an old aunt who gave me jewelry and she is still alive i cant wear it because of my allergy. My mother and aunt are the heirs i am nobody to them. My mom and aunt live a life that involves with money and gold. So i married a man who came from a poor family and my dad is also poor but my mom married a man with wealth and my aunt made herself rich and live good lives. I saved up for my own gold jewelry and i wear those every day and i have a few items of each piece. I have a daughter who is 6 and she got a pair of gold earrings. And she is so in love with them she wear them every day. My mom owns a lot of jewelry and so does my aunt and my old aunt too. But i know that my daughter gets the pieces. I distanted myself from those items . My daughter likes jewelry aswell and she will get those items when the time is right. They will be kept in the family but not for me. She can wear them when she can how she wants. My daughter is everything to them.

YAY

First ❤❤

What do y'all that are ring people do to not lose your rings when washing your hands? (Like when you take them off to wash). I do have a job that requires washing my hands regularly, but it just seems like a hassle generally to be taking off stacks of rings every time I wash my hands. (And no, not taking off the rings is not an option for me... that is not hygenic lol).

Hello, looking to confirm Aziza supply if possible, I emailed and haven't gotten a response and I don't like in NYC, appreciate you!
