Mystery Jewelry Jar Opening from a Thrift Shop: Unjarring Vintage Haul Gold Silver Costume Jewelry? #gjwfashion

Oh look at that! Incredible! Hello friends! I've been waiting all week to open up this mystery jar of jewelry with you. If you're new to the channel, I do some jewelry unboxing. I buy thrift store jewelry mystery jars. We open them up together one piece at a time and together we try to determine if they're valuable or not. So right out of the gate I have an earring. It's obviously all by itself and if you noticed in the intro I started a new project, a side project. I call it the clip-on shoe. I picked this up at a thrift store, paid a couple dollars for it. It did not have jewelry on it and earrings like this are going on to it because they're usually by themselves. So I'm trying to make something pretty out of that and also you know about the earring tree which are press-in earrings that are low all by themselves but now they have a home. We never know what we're going to find in a mystery jar of jewelry. Sometimes I find gold, sometimes I find silver, sometimes I even find what looks to be diamonds although I have yet to get a real diamond tester but that's in the works. Oh gosh look at that butterfly! That's a pretty one and I think it has all the stones. Oh that's so nice! Okay I don't see a name on the back but that is perfectly fine by me. On the label we have another earring by itself so that's good for the shoe, the shoe. Oh this one's marked. Okay guys can you read the marking? I think it says Vondome. Yes it does. That's a nice earring. Look at that. Okay it's missing one stone, it's missing one stone. It's a really pretty earring. Okay come on Value Village put some pairs of earrings in these jars. My viewers want to see pairs. So I paid $39.99 for the jar so it was a bit more expensive. Sometimes they're $29 so we'll see what we can get in this one. So this is obviously costume. I'm wondering if it's too big for the earring tree. I could try to put it on it but no I think it's a little too big. And since the last time you saw it I put some add-ons to it. I actually took a little while and I dug through all of my jewelry jars trying to organize stuff. The ones that you've already seen and oh my god I had a lot of lone earrings so I just added them to the tree. Look at that. Oh that's so cute. All right do you have a name on there? Oh we do. We'll have a closer look. No it's NVC. NVC. So plastic pearls. Plastic pearls. The necklace is perfect though. It might be a little stretched. Even so it wouldn't matter. You could still wear it. Okay NVC. Do you know that name? Let me know in the comments if you do. Oh my gosh I've been jewelry shopping this week. Wait till you see the treasures in this. You're in for a delight. It's going to be absolutely eye candy for you tonight. Another beauty. Look at that. Okay right off the bat. Missing a stone. Missing a stone. Look at that. Gorgeous. Gorgeous pendant. Unbranded. No name. Just stunning little piece. Isn't that beautiful? Oh my gosh. Okay I'll move some of this stuff out so you can see the jewelry. Okay we're getting somewhere. Whoa. Get back here flowers. There we go. It got away on me. Okay any names? No. It kind of looks old to me. I don't know. What do you think? Is it vintage? These are I think they're plastic but stunning though. Isn't that sweet? Stunning little pin. Oh my goodness another brooch. This jar is just loaded with brooches. Okay showstopper guys. Missing a few stones. Oh why did you have to be missing stones? Oh oh but anyway look at that sunburst. Oh those blues. Oh gorgeous gorgeous. I don't see any markings on the back. No markings but you know showstopper. Okay before we go too far. I picked this little beauty up at Value Village. It's blown glass. I don't know if it's Murano. Look at that. Get really close to it. Look at the bubbles. Isn't that gorgeous? Five bucks. Five bucks. It's a paperweight I guess. So yeah I it's not jewelry but I just had to show it to you. A shoe. Okay what is the deal with the shoes? I'm working on a shoe over here and now we actually have one with the jewels on it. Coming that way. So this is a pendant. Does it have a name? Oh my okay. Oh it's pretty isn't it? So you would wear it on a necklace. It would just kind of dangle like that. Okay a little shoe. Why don't you go over here with that one. Oh okay um okay this is broken. Oh here's the clasp. Okay so the clasp was here but they broke apart here. But it wouldn't fit anything. So this is obviously a part of something. Are they pearls though? Look look at that. That's nice. Okay guys I know you want me to rub these up against my teeth. Rub rub rub rub. Pretend that I did. Interesting find. I don't know if they're real pearls. I don't know. But darn. They definitely look nice. I'll give it that. Yeah we just don't know what we're gonna find in a mystery jar of jewelry. I'm so happy you guys are here. Oh this one is stamped. Okay so we got a bracelet. So we have a bracelet here and it is stamped. And before you go too far run down run down in the comments. Let me know where you're watching from. Are you here with me in Calgary, Alberta, Canada? Are you in the United States of America, Mexico, Europe, Australia? I want to know. Let me know. Okay what what does it say? Let's check it out. It looks like Amonti. Like A-I-M-A-M-A-M-O-N-T-I. That's a nice piece. You know I think oh I've seen that name before. I think this one bracelet will pay for the jar itself. That is if I were to sell it you know. But that's great. Good news. I love to treasure hunt with you guys. I look forward to this and as the show gets more and more popular. Hold on a second. I just saw one of these right here. So as the show gets more and more popular I will be spending a few more bucks to show you some eye-teasing beauties such as this little gem I found. I got this one at Goodwill. I splurged. I paid $30 for it. What $30? You just bought a jar of jewelry for $39. You just bought one piece for $30. Well here's the deal guys. Some of these brooches. See they're painted, hand painted on mother of pearl. Some of these could be worth oh gosh $150. But check for a name, a signature. There's I didn't see a signature on this but when I bought it I didn't realize what I was buying. I'm like okay I'm a painter. I love paintings and this is such a good idea. Neat idea to do. I don't think it's silver but I had to have it. So one thing leads to another. I might not know everything about jewelry but I'm learning as I go. A signature would have helped this but even without the signature it's a stunning little piece. So not a mystery piece. That's what I picked out by hand. Okay on we go. All right what do we have here? We have uh okay we have a broken piece. So I also have some broken jewelry that I keep aside to make projects with. I glue stuff onto things or I attach things like on the earring tree and so there's really no really bad pieces in a jewelry jar if you're if you're kind of crafty. Oh we have a Minnie Mouse in red. Okay um would it have a signature? It has this. Oh sorry about the paint job on the nails. I kind of did a rush job today. Nothing was going my way. So yeah uh you're gonna see a little bit of paint around the edges and you know what I get a lot of comments about that. Almost makes my videos popular if I slap on the nail polish kind of sloppy and everybody talks about it and then YouTube pushes the video out further but people see my bad paint job on my fingernails. Okay so I'm gonna call this Minnie Mouse and we'll get back to this guy here. All right what do we have? Is it what kind of flower is that? I'm stumped. I know it's tropical. It's not an iris. Okay come on guys let me know in the comments. What is this flower? Gorgeous though. So it's a pin or a pendant. Dual. Great love it and it's a perfect condition. This jar is really paying off. All right oh my. Okay right out of the gate I need to get a jump ring or something to put this one back together but once it's together I'm going to have a stunning statement necklace here in blacks, golds and faux diamonds crystals of some sort and it has a nice kind of chain. No name. This feels like kind of cheap chain to be honest but this is nice and hefty. Very very nice piece. Okay gorgeous piece. Before we go too far I want to show you something. I picked up this St. Patrick's Day larger trinket box. It's ceramic for a dollar at a thrift store and then at the same thrift store oh my god they had Betsy Johnson necklaces for $15 each. One was $18. Yeah do you want to see a couple real beauties? This is the one I love the most. It's a parrot and I paid $15 for it. Betsy Johnson. Brand new. Brand new. Was it $15? Yes it was $15 and they're about $100 on eBay. I couldn't believe it. I'm telling you guys you can have a different kind of investment. Oh hear me out here. You go to thrift stores look for really good quality jewelry on the cheap. Again Betsy Johnson. Brand new Betsy Johnson. Love that and then you get a jewelry box put it in stash it away for years and years as you collect beautiful pieces and maybe when you retire you sell off everything piece by piece ebay etsy wherever you want to and you can go on your dream vacation or vacations especially if you're buying gold and silver but costume jewelry oh my goodness again this is all Betsy Johnson all Betsy Johnson you'd be surprised how much you could stash away by just shopping at thrift stores for jewelry and hoarding it literally stockpiling it ten dollars here five dollars there it'll add up over the years and if it's gold oh my god they're predicting the price of gold to go up up up and everybody's talking about gold lately isn't this nice it's a dragon i think this was 15 also one was 18 one or two was 18 and the others were 15 so this is a big piece so all Betsy Johnson i'm not sure what i'm going to do with these at this point but for now they're going to be tucked away and in my mind i have a little savings account and i can look at it i can touch it and jewelry tends to go up in value costume jewelry too it doesn't have to be 24 karat gold it doesn't have to be sterling you just gotta have it and get it on the cheap okay here's another bracelet that's nice look at that oh wow that's beautiful okay i'm gonna go clean up my fingernails here before i go crazy so give me a second okay guys i'm back there i had to retouch around the edges where i over painted that's a problem when you're almost 55 years old your eyes get bad and that's what's happening with me and i shake a little when i paint my nails and to be honest i'm too cheap to get them done and have those nice fake nails put on i'm just yeah i just don't want to pay or let anybody near my fingertips with a dremel drill to grind whatever off so yeah that's that's the story behind the really cute that'll be for a project yeah unless they have two in there oh my okay finally a ring on a nice ring too oh it's a jaguar oh my oh my i i'm in love with this ring okay and do i see writing inside get out of here no way let's have a look 18 carat h s c hold on h g e so 18 carat h g e oh wow i'll take it wow okay i love this
