Antique & Vintage Jewelry Haul ❤️

Hi everybody, I hope you guys are doing well. So I'm back with some more vintage and antique jewelry to share with you all. And it's been a while since I filmed a video, but I have still been picking up jewelry jars and boxes from various places in the past few months. So what I'm going to share with you today is some of my favorite pieces I have found recently. Some of them are from Shop Goodwill, some are from my local antique store, and an antique store down by where my mom lives. So they're all from various places, but I've got some really great antique and vintage pieces to share with you. So I hope you stick around and enjoy the video. Okay, and so the first few items I want to share with you are a small collection that I've started and it is butterfly wing jewelry. So if you're not familiar with butterfly wing jewelry, this is essentially what the pieces look like. So this iridescent blue background you're seeing is actually the wing of a morpho butterfly. This particular one is set on a sterling silver backing, but they also made them just on a pot metal, non-precious metal backing like this one you see here. Now I love these pieces. I started collecting them and what I've been looking for is the more unique scenes like this one you see here with the desert, because typically the ones you find most often are this style, where they have the palm tree and sort of the beach scene. While I think these are nice, they're just a little more common, so I've really been on the lookout for ones that are a little more unique. And this particular one is a single earring I found. I don't even have the match to it, but I held on to it just because I think they're beautiful and possibly it could be repurposed for something. And then this is another one I found recently that I thought was unique. We have this bird who's made of sort of a mosaic, and I'm not sure exactly if that's gold flakes or some sort of stone inlay or just, you know, a metallic paint. I'm really not sure, but I just thought that was beautiful. And this one is also on sterling, a really nice old tube hinge style. That one, and I may have shared this one with you all. This was the first or one of the first butterfly wing brooches that I picked up, and this one I just thought was unique because it didn't have any scene reverse painted on it, which I really don't see very often. And this one as well set on sterling. They all sort of look like they might be the same maker. I'm actually not sure. And then finally, this one I thought was so unique. I've never seen another one quite like this. This one is lucite, and there's that beautiful bird in the center and those flowers. And I actually picked this one up from another YouTuber. So Sandra over at the Funky Pickle Thrifter, I love her channel. She does some amazing hauls and is very knowledgeable with jewelry. She just, she goes to auctions and yard sales and finds a ton of amazing things, and I just think she's very fun. So she did a little kind of pop-up jewelry sale a few months back, and she had offered this piece up, and I fell in love with it, and I'm so happy to have it now. I just think it's really, really unique. So that is my small little butterfly wing jewelry collection. So yeah, I hope to keep adding some of the more unique butterfly wing scenes. And then next, I'm going to share a few pieces that I picked up from Shop Goodwill. I purchased a vintage antique lot, and I really wasn't sure what was going to be in it. I saw the photos, but it's sometimes hard to make out exactly what is in those lots. So there were a few really interesting items. This one I love. So this is brass with a purple glass stone, and here's what the back of that one looks like. I just think the design of this is so beautiful. It almost has sort of an art nouveau look to it, just with sort of the fluid lines and the florals. It's really, really beautiful. So just costume jewelry, but I absolutely love this piece. This next one is actually the reason I purchased the lot. I saw this in the photos and honestly just fell in love with it. It is so beautiful. So this is hand painted, and if you look closely, you can see some of the brush strokes. There is some damage to the piece. If you can see, there are some scratching, unfortunately, kind of throughout the piece. But if you look closely at the painting here, what I loved so much besides just the face and the hair and how beautiful she is, look at her finger down here, and she is holding what looks to be a dragonfly. Maybe it's a butterfly. I'm actually not sure, but I just thought that was so charming and sweet, and I'm just in love with the painting on this, this portrait. I think it's so beautiful, and it's something I've never seen before. So here's what the back of this piece looks like. It has that really nice, long pin there. It's kind of a simple latch closure, and I believe this is ceramic that it's painted on and just brass, and it's such a nice big size. I just think this is so beautiful. So there's no markings on it, no maker, so I really don't know anything about it. If anybody watching has any idea, I would love to learn more about this, but I love her. And here is another really stunning little brooch. So I just absolutely love the color of that faceted stone in the center there, that aquamarine blue. Oh, so beautiful. Again, just costume, gold tone, but I just love it. I think it's so feminine looking, sparkling, beautiful. And then this piece also came in that same Shop Goodwill lot. So this is gold filled. The actual setting here is marked, very tiny. And then this carved stone or glass, I'm actually not sure, but if you can see, I'm trying to hold it up so you can see that it's translucent, right? So it's either glass or possibly carnelian. I would have to do more research on that, but it's a really beautiful portrait there with the flowing hair. I just thought that was really, really interesting and something I wanted to do a little more research on. So we have that item. And then this piece I thought was very interesting. So I'm actually not entirely sure if this was a pendant or, I'm going to assume so, just looking at this sort of round piece that maybe a chain was threaded through here at one time. If you see here, it looks like a Roman sort of soldier carving on this faceted teardrop shape. And I believe this is jet. So I did do the test, the scratch test, and it scratches sort of that brownish color that you get when you scratch jet. So I believe this is jet. It's a lightweight piece. At first I thought maybe it was Bakelite or something, but no, I believe this is jet. And even just looking at the way this is made, I've never seen a ring like this. So I just thought this was very unique. Don't know much about it, but I think it's super interesting and I love the carving on that. Now these two items, I also don't know too much about, but they seem to be made of the same material. So this one's has that same sort of portrait with the flowing hair. Looks very similar to the portrait we see here. So I believe it's the same image, which is interesting, right? But this has this really beautiful intricate brass top to it. And then this piece is another sort of helmeted soldier, but I don't know what this is. So this one here is obviously a pendant, right? We have the jump ring there that would thread onto a necklace, but this, it has this indentation going around the edge, which makes me think it had some sort of thread going around it perhaps at one point. Maybe it's some sort of tool that I just don't know the function of, but if anybody watching has any idea, I would love to learn more. And the material of these, I don't know if this is corn of some sort, if it's just plastic, tortoise shell, I really, I'm not sure. But again, this is a translucent, very hard, kind of feels like glass, but it's not as cold as you would expect glass to be. So again, things I have to do a little more research on, but I think they're very interesting. Definitely think they have some age to them. And then these beautiful couplings also came from that shop Goodwill lot. And in my lighting, these look white, but they're actually a really beautiful light pink color again with the raised carved face. So these are just on brass and there's no markings here. Oh, sorry. There are markings, huh? Okay. That's right. But they don't really give me much to work with. I think it says MM Co. So I don't know if these are resin. They feel kind of cold or if these are glass or I'm not sure. I'm going to go with glass. They do feel a little bit cold to the touch. I thought these were kind of sweet. And there was another pair of couplings in that lot, which are these beautiful blister pearl mother of pearl couplings. And these have an abalone shell on the back and they are sterling. So these are quite old. They're definitely tarnished as you can see, but they are marked sterling right here on the back. But I think these are absolutely beautiful. Just look at the sheen and the iridescence on these. Those are lovely. And there were a number of really interesting gold tone pins, smaller pins that I probably wouldn't consider brooches necessarily. Now this piece here has the pin, but it also has this little clip, which I believe allows you to convert it into a necklace, but maybe even something else because it's not, you know, your typical bail or jump ring. It is almost like a money clip style, right? That little piece back there. And this I believe is brass, maybe with a gold plating. And this little one, this looks maybe Masonic to me with the crescent moon and the three stars, those little triangles. I don't know what that means exactly. And there is some engraving here. Let's see if I can bring this closer. So C, D, D, C there at the bottom. And then I really can't make out, I remember looking through my loop trying to make out if there was a metal marking. I thought maybe that top right said 10K, but I don't think it does. So these are just some sort of manufacturer marks, I suppose. But I thought that was a really interesting little pin, those little faux pearls, kind of cool. And then next up we have two absolutely beautiful Bohemian garnet brooches. These ones came out of a thread up box, I believe. Out of the same box, I'm assuming they had the same owner originally. Here's what the back of these look like. It's a nice tube hinge style, definitely older. This absolutely beautiful. I love these. I have a Bohemian garnet ring and then a really tiny little round brooch. So these are going into my collection. I'm looking for earrings next. I think that would be really nice because this piece here, as you can see, does have a bail, so this could be worn as a necklace, which I think is beautiful. And here we've got this really sweet little brass buckle. I just love the little etched leaf design and it's so small. Here's what that back looks like. So I'm assuming this is off of some sort of Victorian clothing, maybe it's for a belt or a sash of some sort, but I just thought it was a really interesting piece. It's beautiful. And then here we have this really interesting locket. It has usually 800 silver. It's done in this sort of filigree style. I know there is a name for it, Kenateel, is that right? I may be mispronouncing that, but I know there is a name for that type of work and typically it's done in silver. Here's what the back of this looks like. This is a locket, so let me see if I can pop this open. So here's what the inside looks like. So there is some monogramming up at the top there. And then on the inside here, KO25, not sure what that means. There's some numbers here as well, KO25. So yeah, I don't know what KO25 means and I believe this is just brass. I don't think it had any other metal markings if I recall. Just a really interesting item. I've never seen this sort of filigree style work on a locket like this. I thought that was interesting. And there were a number of bangles in that shop Goodwill lot. I'm going to start off with these. So these are obviously very tiny little bangles, children's bangles made from brass, I believe. So this one has some really beautiful etched design in it and this one does open with the latch. Let's see. So this one is hard to, you have to press in this tiny little button and pull at the same time and it's really hard to do with my nails, so I don't think I'm going to be able to get this open. But I did look at this before and I don't believe that there are any markings. And then this one is just a thinner little bangle. Really, really sweet. So you can see the etching is on sort of the front half here and this one says Cassie. I don't know if you guys can see that. Cassie. Here is sort of a bigger example of that same sort of hinge design. I'm not going to close it all the way or else I'm not going to be able to get it back open for you all. But look how beautiful the design is on this. This one's a much deeper carving or mold, I suppose, with personalization there. An E. Just looking for markings on this. I don't think there are any. But yeah, really beautiful. Nice thick bangle. We have another bangle here with a safety chain and this one is marked. Let's see if I can, maybe if I open this, you can get that in focus. Okay, and we're upside down right there. So this one is gold filled as you can see on the inside there. Very, very pretty. I love that and I love that this design goes all the way around. A lot of the other pieces we just saw had, you know, a design right on the front and then it had more of a plain style on the back where it would be the bottom of your wrist. So this one's really, really nice. And here is another gold filled one. So this one has a really beautiful rose gold looking flower at the front with some sort of green enameled leaves. Just a plain style all the way around and this one is marked here on this piece that slides. So also gold filled. This one is very, very sweet with that rose design. And this piece came out of a thredUP box recently. This one is sterling silver with that safety chain. This one has a different style mechanism. This one is much easier to open than those bangles we were just looking at. And this piece, so this one is marked 925 tie. So I'd imagine this one isn't too old just based on that stamping but it's definitely meant to look vintage. It may be vintage. I just don't think it's antique or anything like that but really, really beautiful. So these are a really fun find. I believe these came out of thredUP box as well. And these are Kirk's Follies. They have that classic moon face design with the rhinestones and I just think they're so beautiful. Look at the iridescence on the moon face there. You can see on the back there it is marked Kirk's Folly. So I don't know sort of the age of these. These might even be a newer style but they're a classic design for Kirk's Folly, that moon face. And I think they are beautiful so I was happy to add these to my collection. Next up are two really fun, kind of similar looking at least to me, color-wise pieces. This bottom one here is actually a brooch so it does have a pin. These beautiful blue faceted stones. And then this piece must have come off of something else. So there is no catch, there's no pin. It's just sort of a piece but I just thought it was so beautiful I had to save it. These gorgeous cobalt blue faceted stones. I just think this is stunning. So I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet but I had to rescue it and save it and I'm sure I will either turn this into a necklace or it would make a beautiful brooch if I added a pin somehow but I love that. I just think it's beautiful. Next we have a pair of clip-on earrings that are so beautiful. So you have these orange glass beads with some faux pearls and some rhinestones and some baguette style emerald cut almost rhinestones. I'm going to flip these around to show you the backs. So there's no maker's mark on these but you can see they're wired. So somebody handmade these definitely. They're kind of wired to hold all the beads on the front and I know that often Miriam Haskell made things in this sort of way. I don't know that these are hers. I can't really attribute them to her but I just think they're from that same sort of era made in a similar way. They kind of have that aesthetic but I think they're probably not Haskell but somebody who admired her work perhaps. I think they're really beautiful and interesting though. I love these. Next up is a really interesting little pin. It looks like a banjo or maybe a mandolin. I'm not sure what instrument this is meant to be. You can see we definitely have some tarnish going on here but that's okay. We have this mother of pearl and I just thought this was charming and interesting and unique. Very cute. Along the same lines we have another mother of pearl pin. This one is a peace dove and I'm a sucker for mother of pearl pins like this. I think they're beautiful. I know they don't hold too too much value because I think they're fairly common but I love them. Here's what the back of that looks like. I just think it's really sweet. Now these two items I actually just found last weekend at my local antique shop. They were in a tiny little plastic baggie for $5 and I just loved the look of their faces. These carved flowing hair art nouveau style pins and they are both pins. Here's what the backs look like. This top one is marked sterling so I know for a fact that is sterling. This one is not marked but it did test as silver with the acid so this could be plated. It could be solid sterling. I'm not sure. These are both quite small but I just think they're so beautiful and super well done. I love their faces. I love the flowing hair. I love these. So beautiful and for $5 I think that's a steal. Necklace and bracelet set and how beautiful. It's these little dogwood flowers all in sterling. So beautiful. I actually wore this to a wedding recently. Let me just show you the back and the marking so you can see here is marked sterling and then the bracelet. The bracelet is marked on the spring ring here but just really really beautiful. I really enjoyed wearing this. This is a set of earrings but they're so interesting because each one is different and I know that's a trend now to have mismatched earrings but these are definitely vintage and I just thought they were really cool. So in this one we have that globe and on this one we have three little animals. So we have I believe that's a tiger. We have a little monkey and a zebra. How cool. I love these so they're marked 925 and I just thought they were really interesting so I don't know if it's sort of a Noah's ark theme or just animals of the world. I'm not sure but they are sterling. All these little animal charms are also marked 925 and the little globe is marked on the bottom sterling as well. So I just thought these were really cool and unique. Pretty fun. Yeah so this piece I love this ring. So I did I definitely paid up for this. This was in my antique store so I paid about retail for it but look how beautiful the turquoise is. It's marked on the back here sterling p jones sterling. So this is native I believe it's zuni and I mean look oh it's so big. Definitely a statement ring but I have worn this out a few times and gotten compliments on it so it's definitely people notice it when you wear this but I love it. I think it is absolutely gorgeous and again since I purchased this just for myself to keep I didn't mind paying up for it and then same with this one here we have a little art fair that comes to my town and there was a seller selling a bunch of amber jewelry and I picked this beautiful ring out. I just love the setting again. I loved the size it is nice and large really really beautiful. I love that. I'm not too familiar with these types of purses so this came in that antique jewelry lot from Shop Goodwill again and it is this blue velvet beaded tassel bag. I don't know the age of this I don't even know what this type of bag is called but it is very interesting so if you guys are familiar with this please let me know. I don't know if this is a true antique bag. It looks in to be in very very good condition if it is Victorian of some sort or maybe if this is sort of a replica or reproduction type bag. I don't know but I thought that was really interesting and quite cute. Here we have a whole handful of brooches so these three on the right are all very similar in style and they must be from that same time period that floral leaf design and I just think they're really really cool. Let me show the backs of these oops I dropped one. I love these and then this little one I just love the color of the rhinestones here this sort of aqua teal blue just absolutely beautiful. I believe this is brass. I just thought the the color of the rhinestones was unique. Beautiful and now these two I also found at my local antique store and this one has that absolutely beautiful cobalt blue stone in the center really sparkly beautiful rhinestones. Here's what the back of that looks like and this one here I thought was an interesting shape just simple cute little bar brooches. We have this brooch or pin which I thought was interesting so this has some faux pearls and it has that same sort of wired design as those earrings I showed you so somebody hand made and wired those little pearls on and I just thought that was really cute no maker's mark just kind of interesting. Two little cameo style pieces so this one I thought was really beautiful just a really small teeny tiny little brooch. Here's what the back of that looks like so I don't think it's super super old but really cute but again I believe this is just brass and now this one I think is a little more interesting you can see it's definitely an older woman that is shown here at least that's what it looks like to me really interesting shape and it looks like maybe something is broken off of this so I don't know what this was originally and it appears to be gold plated there's no markings on it I don't actually know what this is but I think it's very interesting and I would love to know more about it just another piece that I had to sort of save even though I didn't know the purpose of it it's really cool and two more kind of similar type items we have this piece and this little piece these obviously were pendants of some sort since they have jump rings now this one may have been like a watch fob it may have had sort of a wound like retractable sort of piece to it that is missing I'm not sure this has some little etching on both sides and I just thought it was interesting and then this piece here as well not sure not sure what it's made out of but I thought they were cool now this bangle I have been wearing recently because I think it's so beautiful so you can see this floral pattern that goes all the way around now this one doesn't actually have any stamping so there's no sterling stamping no 925 but I have tested it and it is certainly sterling and I just think it looks beautiful and stacked with some of my other bracelets so this was a nice find this came out of a thread up box recently and then here's one so we have this really cute blue rhinestone floral bouquet I guess and it's in a little bit of rough shape but I think this was a dollar if I remember or 50 cents yeah it was four but I know that it was marked down so I think this was a dollar that I paid for it and I think it's because there is a replacement stone that doesn't match but I thought that was okay I didn't mind that too much I just thought it was really beautiful and I love the larger stone up top there it's huge now this next set of items aren't necessarily vintage but I just found them in a thread up box and I thought I would share them with you because maybe you guys have some more insight on them because I was really interested and surprised by these so this little shambhala style bracelet the beads are wooden this centerpiece is sterling and all of these stones that you see tested as diamond so you can see these really large rough cut diamonds there I mean there's definitely some carat weight there now clearly these aren't you know d color flawless diamonds they're definitely included they're rough cut they're not you know the highest graded quality but they're quite sizable and I think they're really beautiful and same with all of these tiny little set diamonds as well those are all diamond so there's no maker's mark on this item and I was surprised that you know they would have this much carat weight of diamonds on a wooden style bracelet like this so I have no idea who makes this I have no idea of the value but I thought that was very very interesting and in the same lot I'm going to show you these other pieces which I wonder if they're the same brand or not so let me pull these out okay so out of that same thread up lot came these items so we have this very large beautiful crescent moon made out of sterling we have this piece which clearly you know used to go on either a necklace or a bracelet again it is sterling and then another necklace with these sterling charms and all of this little pave stones here are diamond as well so they're definitely multi-color diamonds so again they're not you know the bright white highest quality diamond maybe if I bring this up closer you can see so you can probably see it best on this pendant how there are different shades of the stone there's some grayish tone ones there's some black diamonds there's some more white tone pieces so it's definitely a mixed variety of diamonds but they are diamonds same thing here on our little crescent moon these ones are a little smaller and then these little pieces and both the crescent moon and this one are on beaded style cords so there are no makers on either of these this piece doesn't even have a clasp so there's no no chance of seeing a mark on that this crescent moon one does have a clasp but it's just this okay so it's just a little hook there is no maker's mark on it so I don't know if someone watching this has seen this before and maybe knows the maker of these pieces I genuinely don't know how to look them up to you know determine value or who they're made by but I would love to know more particularly about this bracelet because I just I've never seen anything quite like this and you know maybe I should take these to a jeweler and ask I don't know but I thought I would share them here yeah so I have so much more jewelry that I could share with you I actually have this entire oh I forgot to share these I'm gonna share these really fast before I go on this video so these are just some really cute tiny cameo earrings they are sterling screw backs these are just resin but I do think these are sweet so they do need to be cleaned up but yeah I have those on my tray as well to share but this piece here I got this jewelry jar from my local antique store and I have quite a few more that I hope to share with you soon but this video I've been recording for almost an hour now so I'm going to end this one here thank you all so much for watching if
