Oh, I adore all these!!! OMG oodness, my husband is going to not be so happy, because I think, with all these amazing collections, you have just created a monster. LOL!!! Now, I want, I want I want!!! TFS
Oh how very nice!!!! A kindred spirit, only so much younger!!!! Proves that across the generations we share so much💖. You make the sweetest things so SPECIAL and I love that! Say hello to Cutie Patootie from Tennessee👵❤🦋
I really enjoyed your collection. I HAVE couple of paper ones that were my grandmother's. One has pink velvet and one has green velvet with a note on the lid. I love them.
The bracelet looks like camphor glass. I have several pieces, bracelets, necklaces, a ring in a lavender color, earrings in clear & pink. I enjoy wearing them.
I just love how the insert from one matched the box of the other and then the perfect watch comes along. Just amazing. I think my favourite piece is the turban pin/broach. Loved the opening shot of the snow. Made the rest of the video feel warm and cosy 😁 Hope you and yours are all keeping safe and well. Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Thank you sir! Hope you and the family are doing well. I know a lot of people start thinking about seeds and gardening right now for Spring but with all the snow we have I’m stuck in Winter mode.
Wow! Your mourning jewelry is cool. I do that know that I would've recognized that in the wild. I've always liked the presentation boxes. Your collection is fabulous. That ring with the green stone from the shadow box is wonderful. The wedding assemblage is fantastic. I loved this episode.
Thank you for the always enjoyable, informative and very interesting history lesson. You are my fav TH-cam 😍😍. We need another tour of your “green metal card catalog” of treasures 😃
That was so interesting. I never thought about collecting jewelry presentation boxes before but they are sweet and special. I’m enjoying your channel and I did subscribe 😊
i am so very glad to know that someone else besides myself loves old jewellery presentation box and you can never find them again because it belongs to a period in time, i have a lot of my Mum's one, i also love jewellery, i love antique jewellery but over here in Borneo, its pretty hard to come by them. I just only discovered your channel and i love your eye for aesthetics, your pieces are exquisite.
Love the boxes! :) You have amassed quite the collection! I would love to go back in time to see what pieces were originally in those boxes...so cool!!!
Hi TT🤗 I could not have enjoyed this more! I didn't even realize, but I have a small collection of these and have them here and there, put away with remnants of different jewelry that was handed down to me. I will need to sort through and share some photos with you. I'm so excited. I'm glad you enjoy that "turban" pin (wow- who knew?) It belonged to my Great Aunt who was born in 1920. She had many exotic things and loved jewelry. She also collected and thrifted things the way we do so who knows where it came from😂✨.🥰Thank you for this wonderful look at another amazing collection of yours.
Ever since I saw your first assemblage inside one of these beautiful cases I was smitten and have bought every single one I have seen (that I could afford😂). As a matter of fact, you are to blame for quite a few of my recent obsessions! 😂😂😂😂. O M G I missed when you found the piece of mourning jewelry!!! 😵😵😵😵😵. I believe the ring with the blue stone is white gold or platinum and it was worn so long that the markings inside were worn away. 💖💖💖👍🏼👍🏼. The bracelet with the frosted stone in the middle is called camphor glass and the center stone is probably a diamond chip. I believe it is from the 1920's and is very desirable .
I think this is my favorite collection yet. I love old jewlery boxes and of course old jewlery. The blue box makes me think of the Titanic necklace (heart of the ocean) 💙
You have so many beautiful collections and such wonderful information on them. I have several old pins that have the c hook on the back, they belonged to my mom. I also have one old ring box that held my father’s baby ring, it is in the shape of a small heart and is plastic, he was born in 1915, and I still have the ring🥰
Nearly gave me a heart attack when I saw the tiffany box! I hoped that you hadn't glued it down but its great to see that you were able to get it detached from your display! Just a little knowledge drop on your piece, it was from the Universal Exposition (May-November of 1889) in Paris that was the official public opening of the Eiffel Tower!
I LOVE that watch😍😍😍. The design on either side of the watch face looks Art Deco right😬?? Would totally wear that!!Also love that blue stoned ring and bracelet.😍😍. Have you ever had it checked just to make sure the stone hasn’t loosened? I was so lucky to get my moms 1944 wedding rings , and thank goodness I brought it to the jewelers because the tiny diamond was loose. She wore it everyday until 2015 😰
Jewelry is worth more if it is in the original box that it was sold in. When you buy a piece of jewelry do not permanently remove it from the box. Keep it in it's box. That is the best way to preserve the value of the jewelry. Most women take the piece out of the box and throw away the box and keep it in a larger jewelry box with many other pieces. Some keep the box and try to remember what goes in what box, but that never works. When she dies, the family throws out the boxes and have no idea which piece goes in which box. The reason vintage boxes cost so much is that jewelry collectors are trying to rematch pieces with matching boxes. Thus, a Tiffany's box should be repaired with a Tiffany piece of jewelry. You did this well with the Bulova box and Bulova watch. That is the name of the game and the reason people pay so much for boxes, it adds to the value of the jewelry. If a box is from a good jeweler, it is worth more. Thus, the value of a box is substantially influenced by the name of the jeweler or logo or trademark that is on it. Unmarked boxes are worth less. The jewelry lasts long, while the boxes are frequently thrown out. Thus, the boxes are rarer than the jewelry. The jewelry that will sell for the most of identical pieces, is the one with the original box.
I never pulled them out to look at them but I did earlier today. The one set was engraved on the bottom with the same initials as someone in our family. That was a really neat surprise.
I offered to get my son an antique box for putting his girlfriends engagement ring. He had a different idea. He got a box that had a light in it. He pulled it out in a dark parking garage after he took her to dinner. Very dramatic!
The camphor glass bracelet is C1920. The C or circa date means up to 10 years before or 10 years after 1920. Old jewelry is extremely habit forming and quite fascinating! ❤
@@TarnishedTreasures1 I didn't want to say anything but........ you can try this. use the same glue you used to glue something that is similar to the base you glued the box to. Then take it outside and squirt lighter fluid between the two pieces that are glued. I know it works on taking tags off but don't know what glue you used. Make sure to do it outside in case the two don't mix, and you need to leave them outside until the lighter fluid evaporates. If worse comes to worse since it is the bottom that is glued it should still have value. Anything famous like Tiffany, always look it up before you glue it to anything : )
The glue I use is really strong but flexible so I’ll be able to remove the Tiffany box with out damage but the bottom box is paper and might get torn a bit but that’s ok because I’ll glue the less collectible box right on top and hide it. That will be my project today.
I've always thought that the carved white boxes are celluloid...also, I've been told that gold jewelry is either 10k or 14k (or higher) and 12k if gold filled. Just FYI! Love your collection so much!!
Beautiful things. Wanted to ask if you have any tips to clean Victorian yellowed and dirty doll clothes? They were my great grandmothers and I want to clean them. Thank you and such a fan.
I know there are a lot of videos on YT where people share their technique. I just have a bucket or use my bath tub. I just let them soak in water and some shampoo. I drain the water and refill until the water is clear and the dirt is gone. My goal is to get them clean and fresh smelling but I don’t try to remove a stain. Stains don’t bother me. I have heard laying fabric in the sun can sun bleach them and lighten them.
@@TarnishedTreasures1 thank you. These are really bad as far as stains and dirt. I don't mind stains either but these take away from their beauty. I will wash first as you suggest and go from there.
I use Oxi Clean and let them soak. If still stained I squeeze lemon juice on the spot and cover with salt, setting in the sun for a day..... Never ruined anything and about 80% of all stains have come out. ❤
I looked at the one gem closer. It has sparkly green and purple areas. I’ve never really looked at it close. Thanks for pointing that out. No. I don’t sell my sculptures.
So much character these old pieces of jewellery and boxes are… how sad today’s modern jewellery and jewellery boxes are in comparison to the antique ones.. I think I was born in the wrong era 😅
Oh, I adore all these!!! OMG oodness, my husband is going to not be so happy, because I think, with all these amazing collections, you have just created a monster. LOL!!! Now, I want, I want I want!!! TFS
Good luck hunting!!! If he complains just tell him the boxes are a lot cheaper then jewelry!! So you’re saving money!
Rewatching your video I’ve become smitten with those cute Dennison Ring Boxes.
You just "never cease to amaze me"! Wow! What a nice collection you have! Very unique and special.
I didn’t realize how many I had until I pulled them all out!
Wow!!!! Beautiful collection!!!!
Oh how very nice!!!! A kindred spirit, only so much younger!!!! Proves that across the generations we share so much💖. You make the sweetest things so SPECIAL and I love that! Say hello to Cutie Patootie from Tennessee👵❤🦋
I will tell her!!
Awesome vintage jewelry presentation box collection 😍
Thank you so much 😊
I love the silver ring with blue stone and the old bracelet. They look nice in the old boxes.
That beautiful blue velvet box would look stunning with a string of pearls in it.....what a great collection!
Awesome collection Never ever thought about collecting something like thet
Love seeing your collections, so fun 😊👍
I’m loving your videos where you share your collections 🥰😍thanks again !
I really enjoyed your collection. I HAVE couple of paper ones that were my grandmother's. One has pink velvet and one has green velvet with a note on the lid. I love them.
That is so special to have those with notes. You are lucky!
Loved seeing your collection and hearing the stories of how you found different pieces!
I’m so funny. I could talk about them forever. I had to cut out so much talking because I can only upload 15 minute videos.
The bracelet looks like camphor glass. I have several pieces, bracelets, necklaces, a ring in a lavender color, earrings in clear & pink. I enjoy wearing them.
Thanks for the information. I’m going to look it up now. I’m excited to learn about it.
I just love how the insert from one matched the box of the other and then the perfect watch comes along. Just amazing. I think my favourite piece is the turban pin/broach.

Hi. Glad you’re here!
I love the fact that your videos are short. Am enjoying your collections along with the wonderful info you give along with it!
I like short videos too. I just don’t have the time to watch 45 minute videos, especially when I’m subscribed to a bunch of channels.

Very cool boxes
Your information is quite thorough. The collection is beautiful and interesting.
Love the boxes! :) You have amassed quite the collection! I would love to go back in time to see what pieces were originally in those boxes...so cool!!!
oooh yes!
I never thought of that. I’d assume some really nice pieces of jewelry.

Such a good movie! Now I’ll always think of the necklace when I look at the box!
Definitely my idea of treasures. ❤️🇨🇦

That is Amazing. I love that you have your fathers ring.
I collect the exact same stuff! Wow. Anyway the center of the bracelet is camphor glass. Very cool
A few other people mentioned camphor glass. I had never heard of it before and it was fun to read about it. Thanks for letting me know.
Nearly gave me a heart attack when I saw the tiffany box! I hoped that you hadn't glued it down but its great to see that you were able to get it detached from your display!

Ooohhhh!! That’s wild. Yep. It came off easy. Thanks for letting me know.
OMG. Love the Christmas assemblage! Do you show your process on your videos? BTW….you have such nice hands.
Sometimes I share but I don’t have enough data storage to film and do a time lapse video of an entire sculpture.
Share more of your collections please.
Love your collection. The red velvet box is beautiful. My favorite are brooches from over a 100 years ago.
I LOVE that watch😍😍😍. The design on either side of the watch face looks Art Deco right😬?? Would totally wear that!!Also love that blue stoned ring and bracelet.😍😍.

I was so lucky to get my moms 1944 wedding rings , and thank goodness I brought it to the jewelers because the tiny diamond was loose. She wore it everyday until 2015 😰
All of those pieces are deco. I found out the bracelet is Camphor glass and those designs were 1920 deco. Good eye!!
I have never seen a turbin pin. Thanks for sharing
Neither have I. I shared it in a video and someone commented what it was. I looked on eBay and there they were. It’s so fun to discover new things.
Oh I could kick myself for throwing away so many presentation boxes.☹ Happy to see my favorite of your assemblages, the bride & groom.💕
I think about how many I overlooked when I was thrifting but they weren’t on my “radar”.

Interesting to know. Thank you
The blue ring (from shadow box finds) looks to me like aquamarine stone and the green might be tourmaline. (Possible) from the look of them.
Beautiful collection!!❤
Perhaps the Arthur C. Macy box at 11;32 could contain men's shirt collar buttons? Just a thought.
I never pulled them out to look at them but I did earlier today. The one set was engraved on the bottom with the same initials as someone in our family. That was a really neat surprise.
love the wedding assemblage you made!! Do you sell your creations?
Thank you. I do not sell them. I don’t think they would survive shipping.
@@TarnishedTreasures1 Thank you for your response. I wouldn't either, just to beautiful to part with! I so enjoyed this video
I offered to get my son an antique box for putting his girlfriends engagement ring. He had a different idea. He got a box that had a light in it. He pulled it out in a dark parking garage after he took her to dinner. Very dramatic!
Wow. Very creative.

It’s been great to research the jewelry and origins of camphor glass.
Nice collection. I have an oval, salmon colored tiffany box but i have been unable to date it.
I bet it’s old if it’s not the traditional Tiffany blue color
@@TarnishedTreasures1 Yes. I've searched from one end of the internet to the other and have found no info.
@@bedstuyrover it must be rare too!
very nice boxes. the Tiffany box is probably worth quite a bit of money.
Probably. Now I regret gluing it down but I think I could remove it and not damage it.
@@TarnishedTreasures1 I didn't want to say anything but........ you can try this. use the same glue you used to glue something that is similar to the base you glued the box to.

@@TarnishedTreasures1 post to tell me how it went. good luck!
It’s good. A Little paper loss as I expected. I just taped a new box in its place. I’ll glue it in the future if I need too.
I've always thought that the carved white boxes are celluloid...also, I've been told that gold jewelry is either 10k or 14k (or higher) and 12k if gold filled. Just FYI! Love your collection so much!!
Good to know about the 12k. That’s interesting. I guess it has to do with the added alloys and the softness.

I collect gems and minerals. I think those were tiny pieces of raw emeralds in that box! Do you sell your creations on Etsy or somewhere?
I looked at the one gem closer. It has sparkly green and purple areas. I’ve never really looked at it close. Thanks for pointing that out. No. I don’t sell my sculptures.
Some of the boxs can be very expensive.
I think ur bracelet from that green box is a camphor glass and it’s quite old
BULOVA is not a run of the mill watch... it is pretty high end.. not Rolex but significant.
So much character these old pieces of jewellery and boxes are… how sad today’s modern jewellery and jewellery boxes are in comparison to the antique ones.. I think I was born in the wrong era 😅
