What Sold for $50$280- I Found a Pattern in These Jewelry Sales.

Welcome everyone to finds of yesterday. I'm Lynn and today we're covering my summer sales We're not gonna cover all of my sales, but we're gonna cover a couple high-end sales with the pattern You'll start to see and a piece. I never expected to sell for that much and a brand that was new to me a fast sale and a slow sale and My weirdest piece that sold fast. So let's jump in Okay, we're here on eBay on the solds and this is a vintage pictorial Crucifix I had purchased a whole box of these and they all sell for $50 to $60 in that price range one thing I do want to point out with these is that You do need to make sure that there's nothing broke off of it Which I didn't realize on one piece that got returned and this little INRI sign was was not on there So just sometimes they have crossbones here. If there's a hole here, you'll notice that there is a skull and crossbones missing You might want to check the backs of these Sometimes the wood is showing through on some of the backs and sometimes it's chipped out. So you might want to point that out There's things you just need to make sure you're pointing out These were wore by priests and nuns and they're very big. They're 4 inch to 5 inch to 6 inch Approximately, but they usually sell Consistently between 50 and 60 dollars. So if you see them out and about pick them up Next we have a torque necklace and I do tend to pick up torque necklaces If they're in good condition because I hang a pendant on them And it's easier to sell a pendant when you have The chain or a torque chain or something with it. So I like to add that to a pendant So this one did not need anything else to it. It was thick. It's a real thick Twisted wire and it's sold for $59.99 Next we have a sauteur Necklace, which is a 30 inch necklace or longer. A lot of times it it's like a lariat It can be that style as well. It's from the Art Deco period These lovely beads on here kind of give away the Czech beads Which kind of brings it back to the Art Deco period even though Czech beads were made for many years beyond But the the wedding beads and the combination of these long beads make it Art Deco and Let's see if I can find some closer. There's some pretty close-up pictures, but this one did sell for $55.99 And it all of these pieces I've probably paid on average I do all my pricing on averages so when I go to a flea market or a thrift store or a Yard sale and I buy several pieces. I add them all up and divide by the number of pieces and that's the price I say that I paid for it, so on average these are $4 a piece that I paid for these and The prices you'll see of what I sold for them sold them for so $55 $56 on this one And this one was an Art Nouveau hat pin It's got a real long pin on it. That's how you can kind of tell it's a hat pin They usually have the longer pins. It's so cool. It's a gold-filled piece and The pin was 9 inches and it sold within one day So I almost feel like I underpriced it, but I don't know $59.99 seems like a fair price it probably could have sold upwards to $89.99, but I'm still happy with that $60 Lucinda pins keep your eye out for these So this one I listed and it sold in three months So it did take a little bit longer to sell, but if anything I have sells in three months I'm pretty happy with that this did sell for $62.99 and It's the Halloween version the Christmas versions if they're odd shaped like this that helps sell them Some of those standard ones with the houses or the people on them Generally are in the 15 to 25 range, but these specialty ones you certainly want to keep an eye out for them Here's a coral branch necklace That sold for $64 this one took about a month to sell Maybe less, but I I believe I had it listed Before and I took it down and I relisted it and it sold it looks like a couple weeks it took to sell so $64 on this nice coral branch Let's look at it closely if you see little Pits in it like this that definitely gives you a sign that it's a real branch Looking on the inside of these and with different flaws sure they can recreate the flaws as well, but a lot of times these look plastic until you look a lot closer and see ribbing in it and Like I said the little pits on the inside That's why I like to take close-up pictures so the people know Exactly what they're getting and I always see spring ring clasps. I am not sure if this is vintage or not it could possibly been made Now, but I have a feeling it's a little bit older, but it's still $64 is good price and then the graduated sizes Make it. I think it helps sell them better this beautiful rhinestone hot pink almost purplish Brooch with clip earrings sold for $70 on Best Offer and We all know rhinestone brooches We always pick them up. This one's got a dome shape to it That always helps get when it has layers like that or has that that dome shape But this is just such a pretty color. I think that's what helps sell this now this one sold Within eight days of listing so pretty good $70 I'm happy with that There's a beautiful Giuliana cameo Love these pieces they're just so pretty and This one sold for 65 on Best Offer Again, I feel like Giuliana is coming down in price a little bit But they're still selling so that's that's a good sign and this one took about About two months to sell so not real fast. I probably had it priced a little high and Scarab watch anytime you find scarab bracelets or scarab watches this one took about a week and a half to sell and It sold for $68 on Best Offer So pretty good price for this nice scarab bracelet. It does have stone scarabs Of course if they're glass or stone, they're better sellers than just the acrylic so that helps All right. Next one. Now if you looked at this one, would you think new or old a lot of times we Have a hard time aging these pieces This one when I picked it up first, I immediately thought Victorian look at these pink carved glass pieces But I started questioning it and with the little tassels on here with the beads I thought it was just gorgeous and loved it and What gave it away to me is the clasp I feel like that was the deciding factor that it was Victorian that helped prove to me that it was Because it has the no thumb clasp on it Again, you're gonna see these in newer pieces too. But this one has the age on it on the chain You can tell that it's been around for a long time The gold is not shiny shiny bright. I think this has been around for a hundred years. Maybe 90 to 100 years so this one sold for $70 and it took About one month a little bit less than one month to sell. I Threw in this one I know it's not jewelry But it's a little with something we find a lot of times when we're looking for jewelry is little compacts This one was absolutely gorgeous and $69.99 is a great price for this But the reason is because it has this flaw It has like a water stain or it looks like it's dented to that. It had some kind of Damage to it and it's right on front and just so noticeable I was having a hard time putting it at closer to the price It should have sold for which is probably a couple hundred dollars. Could I have sold it for 150? Yes maybe Possibly but I don't know. I didn't want I wanted somebody to love it Even though it had this flaw, so I was happy with $69.99 Now this piece I really did not know the maker on this. I Almost think she's a JTV or QVC maker But this piece was sterling silver and I don't think the people seen that it was marked sterling I don't know they did or not, but I got this pretty reasonable it fit in with the rest of my items in the price range that I would pay for something and I ended up selling it for $74.99 and it's called Whitney Kelly Again has Tiger's Eye in it. Let's go back up. There's some Tiger's Eye and I think this is Jasper But yeah, that piece is pretty good price. That's the new name that I never heard of before and We're always learning when we're selling so this was a good good find for me I bought it at a reasonable price and I researched it when I got home and that's what it was worth. So Sometimes you just got to do that when you feel like something's quality Now this Boucher Little fur clip. Let's look at the back really nice fur clip And it is marked easy Look at the back here a little bit. Well, I'm looking for the name. Here it is. It's so faint I Thought it was very interesting piece. I don't even know if I seen the maker on it It was such a long time ago. I bought this. I bought this piece last year and I had it listed for over $100 because I just felt Boucher is worth That much and a fur clip and it had this like faux leather. Maybe it's real leather Probably and they call it a saddle looks kind of like a saddle, but this one sold for $77 after I relisted it and that was probably about Seven months ago and it took like Yeah, it took it took about seven months to sell. So Yeah, this was a longtail item, but it ended up I ended up getting $77 for it, which I probably could have lowered the price earlier and sold it faster Sometimes that's always an issue if you're if you're not selling something the price is either too high or it's an undesirable item Don't we all love Swarovski? I mean, I can't pass up hardly any pieces that are Swarovski unless they're just a little Crystal earring or something. Sometimes they sell sometimes they take a long time to sell but if it's any kind of substantial Swarovski piece. Yeah, I pick it up. I actually found a whole bunch in a yard at a yard sale in a little rubber made full of plastic toys and Pieces of jewelry and it was just a bunch of smalls and I was digging through it and I found Several pairs of earrings there was some Trefari in there. There was some Swarovski so it was a good find just from digging and This one sold for $79.99 Again, this was probably a average $4 piece for me when I found it and it was in really good condition you certainly have to take into consideration the Condition. Let's see if we can go find the mark. It's on the clasp here wrote out and the Swan Pull that back up the Swan don't get mixed up with Gloria Vanderbilt because she has a Swan logo, too Swarovski has this flat bottom Swan. Gloria Vanderbilt is rounded So keep an eye out for Swarovski this one I Remember paying $15 for it again. I go by Averages, so I brought it back down to $4 But this set I debated about buying for $15 and I'm really glad I did Even though I think I listed it way too high. I had it at $130 it ended up on my 35% off sale and finally sold for $84.49 it's art and art usually has some unique pieces and this is one of them Not all of their pieces sell For good money but there are some specialty pieces by this company that you want to keep an eye out for and art is actually for Arthur Pepper and Sometimes I put that in the title which I could have on this one But I didn't for some reason and maybe that's why it didn't sell that fast It did take about Six months to sell so yeah, that's a long tail item should have sold faster than that I should have had it marked lower. I should have went back and revisited it Now dress clips for me Sometimes sell and sometimes don't they take a little longer a lot of times This one is actually It's marked style metals Specialties, I guess New York, which is a very different name It ended up selling for $85 on a best offer, which I'm not sure why it didn't say that here But this is a garnet. I did test it and I think it's a really cool dress clip. But yeah $85 most of my dress clips sell in the 25 to 35 range This one did take about three weeks to sell and We all know Miriam Haskell She's a great brand to pick up We love her pieces at least I do This one's a very simple piece and I thought I would still list it higher because you never know with Miriam and who's looking for it and If it's in really good condition, of course, you want to list it higher Some of her plain beaded necklaces sell in the 50 to 75 range So I thought I would just try I thought I would try 99 and just see where we go from there this one sold It took two months to sell but once it was marked down to 89, that's what it sold for Pretty happy with that Again, I paid about $4 for it Bakelite we all know Bakelite's usually pretty good some of the thinner bangles take a little bit longer to sell But when you get a bigger chunkier one like this one with these marbled colors mixed in Yes, they're gonna sell for more this one. I took a best offer of $100 on We all love Bakelite and this one took About three days to sell three or four days and I've talked about this one several times This is the Monet de Mida necklace and you can tell that by this style of tassel and the tassel has bar lengths and looks like rope chain possibly mixed in and It's marked Monet on the clasp Here's what it looks like on the bust That's what the clasp looks like this one is sought after I'm not sure why there's a lot of tassel necklaces out There but this is good quality Monet and Trafari are always made with good quality. It's a real thick chunky rope chain. This is not thin by any means So this one sold for me for a hundred and twelve dollars and it took about three weeks So pretty good sale Now starting here and the rest of these you're probably gonna get some kind of a pattern of The things I sell for the higher price range that I find now. This is possibly in my area I just happen to find these things I'm sure you can find them too in your area But every little area has its own thing of higher priced items That you just need to know about that Maybe nobody else in your area knows about anytime. I see something like this that's like I automatically can say that's gold filled because I see it so much and I've handled it so much and I Know everybody asked me to how do you test it? Well, there really is not a real good way to test it But if I feel like it looks like gold filled I will test it in an inconspicuous Area like maybe on this on the top of this little round ring, so I'm not scratching up putting harsh Scratches on the actual heart locket or if I open it up and do it on just the inside edge or something I don't want to ruin this piece. It's it's probably 90 to 100 110 years old and We don't want to put scratches on it Anyway, I will test that and then When you have a little bit of gold That's on your scratch pad The acid is not going to eat it away completely At first let's say that at first it Pulls the ass or pulls the gold off the scratch pad and kind of floats it around in the acid And that kind of tells me that it's gold filled. It's not Eliminating the gold, but it's pulling it up like there was some other metal mixed in underneath that it's getting rid of That's my theory Nobody has told me that that is just my theory now you can base it off of looks You can bring it into a jeweler or a gold person even a pawn shop. They'll tell you but That's just my theory on it. So this one is gold filled sold it for $119.99 and I absolutely love these I pick these up all the time. I pick up gold filled all the time This one is a Kramer of New York and it's big chunky and I never seen this chain before This I thought was a locket. It looks like it should open but it doesn't it's just kind of a faux locket big chunky heavier and The chain is so unique I mean, do we see this type of chain anywhere nowadays? No Kramer is always a good brand to pick up too, and it's got a snap clasp on it Which is usually on the older ones. You'll see the snap clasp like that. It's a very old one heavier chunkier just more patterned I guess and it has wear and you know this right here this little pattern on here just Adds to it and that's how they did things back in the day They they did a lot more detail to stuff than they do nowadays Kramer of New York's Cartouche it looks like like it was added on to the back Very distinct readable. It's obvious. It's Kramer This one sold for $125.99 and it's I had to relist this because I felt like this had a lot higher Value I put it at 179 because I couldn't find any that was Available that was sold So I put it high and I can always come down which did come down 30% off and sold for 125 After I listed it the second time it took two months to sell so it was still waiting for a 30% off sale Here we go again another locket gold filled It has that it looks like it has wear on it Somewhere on the edges you can tell that it's older because it's got the wear Where it should be right where it's been touched the most on the tips the gold inside is still there You can see it's been rubbed on the edges Quite a bit and that's where the gold came off. So this one I sold for $131 and It took about three weeks to sell on this one, too. It's just gorgeous I I did pay up a little bit for these I think It's still averaged out to my I think it was $5 and but I did pay About $30 for this piece, but when you have this style this shape very unique Old piece like this not just a heart shape or a round or oval shape It's got this just unique shape. That's gonna give it some value and it's big It was fairly big as one and a half inches for a locket. That's pretty big so $131 in a couple weeks That's good This one I think is considered a morning pendant It looked like a locket to me at first but you flip it over and there's an image one on each side looks like a mother and daughter possibly and On top here, I thought this was glass or the photo had faded but the more I researched it the more I found out this is smoky quartz that they put over top of these and The double-sided both sides have smoky quartz on them And it's tiny. It's only seven eighths of an inch and It's sold for $149.99 Look how little that is it's comparable to a penny But yeah, you want to keep an eye out for pieces like this the images of the people on here sure give away the age We're talking probably late 1800s early 1900s I'm leaning more towards the late 1800s on this one and this sold in three days Here's my weirdest Sale of the summer $149.99 it's sold for cool awesome spider and spiderweb necklace I showed this in one of my videos in one of my hauls and it didn't take very long to sell It took about 13 days Unlucky number 13, but it did sell Fairly fast. I was pretty happy with that. It's a cool Necklace, but just weird. It's Mexico piece, too So this one is another Victorian piece You're gonna start to see where my higher-end pieces come from. They're all Victorian pieces maybe Art Nouveau art deco pieces I Did not include all of them because there were several Just because I've been finding them and picking them up in so many different places I'm excited about these and this one was not in the best shape It has black enamel on it, and I've had this one before so I knew to pick it up Or I had one that was very similar, but here it shows how bad the enamel is on it But the the person that bought this said that they bought an old Victorian house that they're redoing and she felt the need to Put this in her new house I don't know. She's gonna put it on display or what but she it sold for $165 and it took three months to sell This is another Victorian piece So this one Pull this down a little bit So you can see so This is a Bates and Bacon when they have a name on them, that's usually better You can see it there or that's patent number. Let's go find the name These etched ones. This is gold filled This one had a unique clasp on it patented December 26 of 05 which is 1905 Bates and B is Bates and Bacon Engraved six-inch they're usually smaller like this one is This sold I put this one on auction and it sold for 178.50 I thought I would try an auction for once because you never know. I always wondered if they would sell for more But this one just sold for 178 which I was happy about it has this little hook on it Which was different than I've ever seen on these so it kind of just pulled apart it didn't expand outwards it just pulled up and you Put your you know your wrist through that so it was different and it's pretty cool So happy with that and that one took It's sold in about a week And then we have another Victorian one which honestly or art deco. No, I call this Victorian So, I don't know why I didn't put Victorian in the title on this one, but it probably needed it even though it's sold in one month time, so I'm pretty happy with that 179.99 and the lady was so happy with it. It is a Absolute gorgeous piece. This is one I paid about $38 for initially, but again it averaged into my other pieces for about five dollars apiece Because I had bought so many that day at a flea market that was again Pretty happy with paying 35 for it You got to remember that these gold filled pieces have that much value just in the gold So I'm not Opposed to buying pieces like this for $35 when I know I could just melt it Which there's no way I would melt these because I absolutely love them and they do have a lot of value look at that 179 you'll never get that at the melt guy and last but not least is another Victorian one Imagine that this one sold for $270 It's sold within About a month and one week so about five weeks or so $270 these etched bangles I'm telling you See how pretty shiny that gold is it's a different Look of a gold it almost has like a rosy tone to it That's I think how I can tell it's gold filled you can tell it's just not like your typical costume jewelry gold it's It's different. It's got a little bit more of a pinkish tone to it and They did do a lot of rose gold back in the Victorian timeframe This is the class, but there's a little push button here that opens it up Simple now if it had a wire across it And that can add a lot of value to it, too I've had several of them and I've actually sold probably Eight more pieces in the Victorian timeframe this past summer So I'm pretty happy with my sales even though I mean summer is always a little bit slower Could have been much better it always can be much better, but I'm still happy with The the amount that I'm selling Let me know how your sales are going How did your summer go and how does that compare to like your spring and your fall? Let me know how your What items are selling for you Do you sell different items in the summer than you do the spring in the fall with jewelry for me?
