My friends mother passed away at 90, the family kept her gold and gave me all the rest...She was a classy lady and I have a suitcase (big one too) full of gorgeous vintage jewelry to go through....very exciting!

My mother went to heaven Dec 2020. I have shoe boxes full of her jewelry. Some of her pieces go back as for as the 30's. Beautiful jewelry. I really don't know what to do with all of it. I've seen where people make mosaic arrangements and frame them. I'm so glad to find this Channel. I need lots of help and ideas.

Thank you for being so thorough about this type of jewelry. Just found a chest after my father passed away that has a secret compartment that is filled with so many pieces of extremely old jewelry that I have no idea where to begin. This channel is going to be very important for me as I go through this process of identifying what the heck I am looking at. The pieces are in the original boxes and are laying in what appears to be wool shaped as cotton and the pieces are different from anything I’ve ever seen before. It’s a bit overwhelming actually.

I’m so glad I watch your channel, being nót the older of 2 daughters, after my Mom passed away last year, my sister gave me a couple of pieces, which I am so grateful to have... but, having nó knowledge of Vintage costume jewelry, she gave me a box fúll of the ‘odd ducks’ as she referred to it. It has quite a few most beautiful screw-on earring sets, mány single clip-ons with lovely Austrian Crystals in and no less than 7 different strands of faux pearls, broken but 5 are very good quality and worth the repair. I got a whole box of beautifully polished semi-precious stones, like rose quartz, tiger’s eye, opal(!), and many others I will have to have identified, but they are truly lovely. Thank you for your very helpful channel, I love watching you and your energy, always the same. Stay well, stay blessed 🌺
