Family lore has been passed down ... WW2 my aunt and husband walked into a junk store in Palm Beach and bought a "Rhinestone" pendant! It was not rhinestones at all but a piece made for the czar of Russia and stolen by the Bolchevicks when the family was murdered! Her husband opened the Lincoln and Cadillac dealership in Palm Beach from that "diamond" pendant!!!😊

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of these lovely pieces of jewelry. My husband says I am a Magpie because I enjoy pieces that sparkle. My unprofessional advice for anyone going through garage sales and thrift store pieces for themselves is to buy what appeals to you - I have several pieces, probably not worth much at all, but I adore them, so they bring joy to me which is priceless. If you are looking for pieces to resell, then quality is paramount. Thanks again! Pat from FL

I happened to come across your video by chance.
I inherited a collection of my Grandmother's brooches in 1977. She passed away at age 94...she had them for many years. I always knew they were valuable but also knew I would never sell them because I love them all. I can still picture her wearing some of them when I was a little girl. I keep them all together in a lovely frame inside of a China cabinet. ❤

You made a great jewelry finds. Your riveted pin backs are generally late 1950s/early 1960s. The metallic backed stones are termed "foil backed" stones. The irridescent finish is known as "aurora borealis" and may sometimes be dated to the 1960s if the finish is blue tinged, later if rainbow tinged. The bright shiny white chrome finishes are often rhodium plate (Eisenberg pieces are known for rhodium plate). Austian crystals are the gold standard for faux gems, especially in vintage costume jewelry. Czechoslovakia is another important manufacturing center for rhinestones and beads.
Darkened or cloudy rhinestones are often signs of water that has gotten into the setting under the stone. Costume rhinestone jewelry should never be worn on rainy days.
Your Weiss broach is fabulous. If I was your mom, I would be first in line for that beauty. ❤️

This video brought back great memories of my grandmother. She always wore her fancy brooches when going somewhere special. Thank you so much.

The rectangle shape stones are called baguettes. In real diamonds they tend to be more expensive because it is harder to hide the flaws when they are cut this way. Thanks for the video!

When I lived in NYC in the 1980's I first ran across 'the costume jewelry ladies'. After a Park Ave. estate had been picked over by Sothebys or such they descended on the 'non-precious'. The one thing I learned is that the rich people had the really good name costume jewelry, designer pieces etc.

I have a brooch with clip on earrings that my dad bought for my mom while he was in boot camp in Texas . WW2 era .

Another great way to date brooches is the part the end of the pin goes into.Newer pins have the safety enclosure and older pins are just a C

They are little pieces of art work. I love them all.

Just found your channel today. Appreciate your attention to the details of a piece so that we can better understand what to look for and know what we are finding. Thank you.

Rusty, FYI: Sarah Coventry jewelry was sold at home parties like Tupperware. We were all proud of our reasonably priced, very nice, jewelry

My beloved mom, now deceased, loved vintage jewelry and I have a few of her pieces. I've always been curious about how this jewelry is valued. I found this quite interesting. Thanks.💖

[stDecomaniac]

Mom always said I looked at the price to make sure something was expensive to decide if I liked it or not. I didn't! But for some reason, my eye always went to the most expensive item.
I sat and watched this whole video because my eye went directly to the Penning and I wanted to see what you said about it.
Surprise! It was the most expensive one you mentioned. I assure everyone, including Mom, I did not know the price AGAIN. LOL

I learned so much from this video, and all the comments--Thank you!
I have all of my mother and most of my grandmother's jewelry. (I was the only girl! Tho my cousin got her ring! 😔)
I love having them and would never sell them. Their value doesn't matter much either, just what I like and enjoy wearing! I have always especially enjoyed the deco pieces and the 1950's and 60's pieces--they look great! Vintage is always in fashion, but we tend to bring back certain time periods in fashion and costume jewelry always helps bring the outfit together.
And one day, I hope MY 3 girls will enjoy them!
Thanks again to all!

This was so interesting. I have collected pins and brooches over the years, some fine jewelry, most costume jewelry. I always just bought what I liked, but now I will want to go through my collection and inspect more thoroughly. Maybe I’ll find a treasure. 😊 I enjoyed this video!

[lisamanrique]

Some costume jewelry is just beautiful! I really liked the red and pink butterfly pendant. So glad that this video was constantly in focus!! Never a blurry moment - awesome. Interesting and informative video. Thanks for your time!

[Nana.]

I never see gorgeous pins like these! They are just gorgeous, costume or not! I’m going to wear pins again!

[drkatel]

I know nothing about assessing jewelry but I have a fairly large bag to go through that belonged to my MIL who was well off and traveled a lot. This video was helpful. I’m sure I’ll need to watch many more too.

If moisture gets into the foil at the back of a rhinestone, it'll tarnish which, in turn, will make it black.
