Very casual, unplanned conversation with my mother as she looks at a few pieces of her mother's old costume jewelry. I believe she had been cleaning house when I dropped by for a visit and neither one of us wanted to be on camera. Please watch all the way through and help me identify a mystery necklace at the very end of the show! Thanks for watching everyone!

The "jewels" on some are ABC, Aurora Borealis Crystals, glass rhinestones that have a unique lustrous coating, illuminating a variety of colors. Most of the brooches will sell on eBay, you won't get rich, but you'll get a decent price.

If the pieces were for me, switching stones would do. You can go to a craft store, and buy Swarovski Crystals that match. Sometimes if the stone was small enough, a dot of glitter nail polish can replace a Crystal. The Tiffani made me run 🏃‍♂️ to bank to count pennies and back to my front door. Screaming in agony for want of that blue choker. Well, Scott you did it to me again.

Your Trifari necklace is a great find. The brand name is simply Trifari. A lot of people call it Crown Trifari but that is just not correct. It is just Trifari. The mark dates it to 1948-1955. I would guess it to be specifically 1952 but I would have to look it up in my reference books. The quality is subperb compared to the other necklace. Trifari invented and used their own "metal" called Trifarium not too long after WWII which was a tarnish proof plated metal. If treated carefully and not doused in parfume it will retain its luster and sheen for decades without tarnish. The prong set faceted square cut glass rhinestones are lovely. I would not take less than $75 for it. In fact a starting price of $125.00 is where I would feel most comfortable. That is by far your best piece. Nice job!

Glad to know I can still guess at prices well! I was also thinking $75-$125 retail value. I was guessing in the same neighborhood on dates as well.

Scott, these pieces are beautiful and it's not that uncommon to sell these quality items with stones missing. Many collectors repair their costume jewelry.

I don't care if a stone is missing, I would wear the earrings with the broach. They're lovely!

Your mother is very endearing! You should have her on with you on one of your live sales.

First of all Scott, I want to encourage you to keep going in your jewelry journey. Two of the 5 piece lot you bought to get the free one are from the 1950s or 60s, the poodle and lovebirds. I know this because of how their pin backs are attached to the setting by a horizontal or somewhat V shaped bar with a central rivet, think Rosie the riveter! I believe the last large necklace has a replacement clasp, not just discolored. I'm surprised you haven't gotten a reference book for costume jewelry yet, but I was glad to read you're getting a jeweler's loupe! Remember, single pieces are worth a fraction of their full set value, a set is called a parure - necklace, bracelet, earrings and brooch. Just like vintage bareware when you have 1 or 2 stems from a cocktail shaker set. I'm excited to see you starting to sell jewelry!

Your mom’s great….and very practical….I would listen to her. My mom passed in 2012. (RIP Mama❤.) Some of her jewelry, mostly costume or as we call it now “fashion” jewelry, was spread around to other family members but as her only daughter, I got most of it. I have sold some of the really cheaper stuff or that there was no big attachment to. Fortunately, there wasn’t a ton of it. I was left with her wedding rings that will never be sold and the few pieces of fine jewelry she had. There were a number of other things of hers that she left that I really treasure and they’re not going anywhere. One is a pair of white gloves that she wore in the 60s when she dressed up for church. I even have a photo of her wearing them when she was all dressed up. I plan to one day have the photo and gloves put in a shadow box. (I’m 66 now, I should get hoppin’.😮) What will be done with some of those items once I’m gone ? (I have no children) not sure what the nieces, who I’ll likely leave the things to, will do with all of them. There are some things, like the wedding bands that I will state, in my will, that they be kept in the family.

People will replace stones with this type of very nice costume jewlery. Very nice

There is a market for costume jewelry, and it sells quite well. Try not to take anything apart, unless broken, like the earrings with the matching brooch, especially if it is not a signed piece. There were many costume jewelry makers in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Trifari, Triad, Coro, Sherman, Weiss and so on.

You do have a good eye Scott. A lighted loupe will be your best friend when it comes to jewelry. Tfs

I agree with others. Costume jewelry is in. Acquiring a loupe will really help identifying pieces. Yes, the Trifari is wonderful. You will catch on to brand names eventually. However, their is a lot of beautiful jewerly that was never signed. Yes, you will get more for signed pieces. Some of the newer costume jewerly that goes for BIG money is Juliana. Brooches that were riveted were in the 1950s along with if the piece has puddling. Prong set is the best. There is so much to learn about costume jewerly, antique or vintage. It's a whole new Rabbit Hole. You seem to already have a great feel for it! Can't wait for the story.🤣🩷 P.S. Juliana is considered vintage from 1960s. Also, believe it or not, certain pieces of Joan Rivers jewerly can go for big prices.

Initial notes for you, hope they help! 😊 Stones can be purchased to make repairs and people also harvest from very badly damaged pieces. Missing stones isn’t usually a deal breaker. Do not separate sets, Demi-parures (partial sets) and parures (full sets) are more valuable. Being old doesn’t mean it is more valuable. And vice versa. Even items that were pennies to make can be valuable. Always research, a plastic pin from the 80’s may be worth $90 Condition is important but not as important as the maker. A perfect Trifari is probably less valuable than a damaged Haskell. There is so much to learn! I’m happy to help if you have questions. My email is on my channel I think. So much fun!!!!

Costume jewelryyyy omg I haven't even watched yet but I'm so excited. Honestly, there is some really beautiful and high quality costume jewelry that sells for a LOT - Trifari, Miriam Haskell, Coro, Napier, Eisenberg, etc. But also if you're worried about them being loved, they will be. As a millennial lmfao I love costume jewelry and I don't put them in my nose.

I will learn along with you Scott.

also, shine the black light on EVERY STONE!! don't assume only the green ones will glow. Try the stones in the sterling piece, they look a little glowy to me!

Scott, invest in a jeweler’s loupe. Better than just a magnifying glass to look at signatures. You have some great pieces! I know you love the identification books and there are lots on costume jewelry.

Scott, I work for an antique store and sell on Etsy. Please check all old jewlery with a black light. Certain old jewelry glows just like the uranium or vaseline pieces. You may already know this but I suspect the green flower and possible poodles eyes. Old seed pearls increase values too. Thought I'd share in case you didn't know. Some sell for high dollar but cheap costume jewelry back in the day. Love your show and adventure s

The last necklace reminds me of Weiss... Look up black Cabochon Rhinestone necklaces... It's 1940's Hollywood in my opinion... I will tell you Worthpoint has paid off on many levels for me. Also, I highly recommend Judith Miller Costume Jewelry book because once you catch the bug you are a goner.

Thanks for sharing your mom and her pretty jewelry with us. She seems like a hoot! If she doesn't want the items, I would say to sell them for someone else to enjoy vs. keeping them in a drawer or jewelry box. When your mom passes, you could keep a few of her pieces to remember her by and then maybe pass them on to a special friend of yours to cherish and continue the tradition. I love old brooches and have a few but am no expert. I wear some and otherwise keep them out in a pretty trinket dish on my dresser to look at.

Hello Scott…in my understanding, George the Antique Nomad is quite knowledgeable with costume jewelries…you might want to seek his opinion on this…😊

Scott, we would have loved to have seen your mom. And I totally agree with her comment to you about the use of the word ‘drawers!’ I love brooches and wear them a lot. Sometimes a stone is missing but my thought is that no one should be getting that close to the brooch to see the missing stone!!

Definitely share the curious story of "A Tale Of Two Hazels"!!! ...And consider some additional future visits into the realm of vintage jewelry which can include pieces from your family & other pieces you thrifted. Also ponder the notion of showing additional vintage jewelry pieces for men: lapel pins, cufflinks, tie clasps/tacks, money clips, ID bracelets, watch fobs, any items (for female or male) you think might draw the attention of your audience...you know the minds of your followers well enough. I personally enjoyed this video. The vocal visit while sorting jewelry with your mother was lovely...she might be a fun addition to discussions during some future appearances!

So excited you are delving into jewelry & fun to hear your interaction w/mom. On the Sterling piece the curvy leaf work on it is called Filigree, that is hand done with wires. I would think the filagree work on it would elevate it to a higher price point. Carry on I love it! 💎

Thank you for sharing your time with your mom. I think you should stick with picking up a piece or two of jewelry now and then and learn about it. Be particular though or you'll be like the gentleman trying to give 5 pieces away😁. The enamel pin I could see someone into the boho look using on her hat but isn't very valuable, but even less expensive pieces will be picked up by crafters so it's worth learning about. Eventually you'll just know. I definitely love antique pins and jewelry. I picked up a pretty watch pin that I treasure. I think you will enjoy learning about it so my vote is to stick with it😊.

It was always fun digging through my mother's jewelry box!!

I think you are doing quite well as a "newbie" to costume jewelry! Both necklaces are beautiful, and the Trifari is a definite score! Although costume jewelry is a vast field and to find the hidden gems requires knowledge, starting out as you are with small investments is a good way to start.. You have an eye for quality and that should help a great deal. Don't dismiss those "kitchy" 50'-60's pins. People like them, Just don't buy high. There are many books on costume jewlery and looking at the pictures and reading descriptions is a good way to train you eye. aLSO, Do not to buy pieces that are damaged or have missing stones...unless you know the peice is rare, unusual or valuable! Go ahead and have fun with this. By the way, I really liked the green brooch. It looked old but you can't tell for sure unless you see it in person.

Nice seeing you get into jewelry. Look at whether the crystals, seed pearls etc. are glued in or held in with prongs. Prong set is better. Beware some metal bezels have fake prongs, little bump outs on the bezel to look like prongs at a glance. During WWII costume jewelry was often made with Sterling (marked) because other metals went into the war effort. Both necklaces are very nice. Sometimes if part of a set (parue), the signature was on the earrings. I’m not sure if the clasp on the clear and black necklace is original since it’s gold tone, rest of necklace is silver tone. Unmarked older costume could have been sold to Department stores who put on their own paper hang tags. Much of it was made in Providence RI and used Austrian crystals. Trust your good eye for quality.

You can sell stuff even if it's broken at the right price and that the person knows. Sometimes people repurpose things so they won't care if they are missing something. You have beautiful pieces there.

Your mom sounds exactly like Ruth Ann from Northern Exposure. I loved this! 💚

That black and stones is GORGEOUS. Looks 1950's to me. Vintage costume jewlery is very desirable

I sell some vintage jewelry in my booth and have sold some on Ebay. For costume pieces that are damaged, honestly, their values are very low. While yes, some people may take the best of damaged and repair it…I don’t imagine too many will, unless it’s a designer name or something that will make the repair time worth it. (I came across a beautiful but damaged peacock brooch that was otherwise so very pretty. I decided to see if I can repair it….I don’t know.) This is why you see a lot listings that are sold in “LOTS FOR REPAIR OR CRAFTS.” And then some listings are both a mix of current fashion jewelry and vintage or you’ll see it designated as just for “craft.” And then some sellers have curated their lots and what they have is in good, wearable shape. Then if you have a big name in costume/fashion jewelry, there are individual pieces that will sell for a decent price. People do a lot of creative things with old jewelry that doesn’t have much value otherwise. Good luck!

Enjoyed your interaction with Mom😊 the jewelry is interesting. Liked the floral spray w/earrings, noticed that the rhinestones are prong set, generally better made than glued in stones. The trifari choker is lovely. That last necklace is rhodium plated brass and prong set stones. Nice. I always look for broken necklaces and have found some heavy crystal beads from the 20's I have also found several long strands of what I call "flapper" beads, heavy glass, hand knotted strings. The glass glows under black light! Always happy to see your videos, TFS🧓🎶🤗

Hi Scott. Beautiful jewelry!!! Can't wait to hear about Hazel!!!

My thoughts on the necklace, my somewhat educated guess. 1950's Kramer. The clasp is a replacement and the clasp is where Kramer would have been marked. The construction of the back is like Kramer. Pictures of the back of Kramer jewelry can be found online. Kramer was a good costume jewelry company which might warrant a replacement clasp. The rhinestones on the full length of the chain is another sign of quality. Keep picking up jewelry! Personally unless it's true deco the really cool, unusual jewelry is 1950 through 1975. (The brooch with the missing stone is 1980's by "1928")

They truely are beautiful jewelry

My uncle turned quite a few of my Great Grandma's old clip on earrings into cufflinks. It's a nice option if they're sentimental to the family.

Your mom’s hands look so young! Beautiful pieces! The enamel pin is probably from the 60s or 70s. Very desirable right now.

Lovely pieces! It makes sense to sell them to people who will continue to cherish and love them. Now it makes sense to me. Great video Scotty. Thanks for sharing!

Jelly Belly critters were once super popular. Growing up, I had a mouse with a red jelly belly. My mom kept it in her jewlery box and I was only allowed to wear it to church and then return it to her. I LOVED it. Somehow, going through her jewlery later in life, my mouse could not be found and I was heartbroken about losing him. I look for him every now and then on Ebay, and do find him, but haven't yet purchased his replacement.

Yes! Even with missing stones, they will sell.

Scott if you take an eyeball look at a high end department store costume jewelry display you can learn alot. In the fleamarket you can be fooled easily.

I love seeing the jewelry, especially the "ear screws." I remember seeing my grandmother taking them off after church and dropping them in her pocket book, then rubbing her red ear lobes.

Keep going, you have a good eye.

Your Grandmpthers brooch that is brass tone filigree with the moonstone style glass beads and purple amethyst glass rhinestones appears to be a 1950s-1960s Czech brooch. In perfect condition you could get upwards of $50. With a missing rhinestone probably closer to $35. The ones with larger glass beads and rhinestones that are more ornate can sometimes fetch as much as $100-$150.

Remember that some big names like Weiss and Eisenberg also made pieces that were marketed unnamed.

Keep going with the jewelry. I inherited drawers full of costume jewelry, some may be gemstones or precious metals but I haven't gotten around to looking at any of it.

I think the clasp on the necklace has been replaced. It does not look the same as the other metal. The clasp looks cheaper. The necklace looks to be from the twenties and I think it could be worth good money.

The black glass cabochon art deco reproduction brooch is definitely the “1928” brand. The back always has those swirled designs and is how you can identify it. I have many of that brand due to the art deco look that I love. Probably 1980’s but many catch a good bid on eBay.

So pretty

The earrings & brooch with arora borealis stones(possibly swarovski or austrian crystals) in the beginning of video,, look like 1930's Czech jewelry. It contained many "leaf" shaped stones. Also the art deco green stoned brooch looks like 9 kt gold & emeralds because many pieces with the millpoint work & filigree are found to be precious metals & stones. They usually didn't put that type of work in cheap pieces..u should get testers if ur going to buy & sell antique jewelry many times jewelers put precious stones in sterling as much as they did gold. Sometimes the marks will be on the posts(pins of earrings &, brooches),Also, other countries have different marks for gold than the u.s. like 585(& others) is gold in the uk. Ur best bet is to get a gem & metal tester & i don't mean the kind with the acid test, I'm talking the lil pen that u touch it & the meter reads to u wat u have. Good luck.
