My gold guy taught me this recently. I suggested that maybe the clasp isn't true gold and he explained that it is it's just the mechanism inside. He also told me that sterling silver can have a tiny magnetic pull.
I had the best time learning about this jewelry box contents! I hope I can find more of your videos and learn more.I’m waiting for some money. I want to find precious pieces, not just go buy nice stuff. I like old…I might have to go shopping to replace my jewelry lost in a California wildfire and buy a couple…but discovering pieces is exciting…
Nice video. Sure takes time for all the sorting. A couple of things. On the delicate gold chain - the clasp is called a spring ring, not a jump ring, although there are jump rings that are right next to the spring ring and usually are the terminals on chains and other components to hold the components together. On fine jewelry the jump rings are mostly soldered together and on costume they are not, but can be opened and closed to join the parts. You might want to check the pearl stud posts again, as I think the post backing was what was magnetic not the posts themselves. Worth another look anyway. Enjoyed the search with you.
I wear a magnetic hematite bracelet. I have loupes everywhere. And I just do it for fun because I am a poet/songwriter. I have over 100 grams of 18k gold.
I have several of the bracelets like your emerald and diamond bracelet. Mine are a sapphire one, A ruby one, N emerald one and an amethyst one. I paid between $125 - $225 for each bracelet but that was back in 2007. No idea what they are worth now but it has to be more I have passed them along to my granddaughter as I now have terminal cancer. Good luck with your business! 😊😊😊
🙏🏻so sorry you are ill 🌺. I sent my 2 Granddaughters each a James Avery charm bracelet with 3 charms on each .After only having 4 sons Granddaughters are well welcomed 🥰❤️.Praying 🙏🏻all goes well for you Sandra 🌹.
I would take along a Diamond Selector II as well. They are cheap and can help you determine if a piece of jewelry has diamonds or not. Not the perfect tool, but at least gives you a higher probability.
I enjoy your videos and even though they say you cant teach old dog new tricks I am learning a lot from you . Have had trouble finding a mandrel to measure bracelets . Really nifty ruler with the slide measurer on it does it slide wide enough to measure bracelets? Even if not I need to get one , it looks really handy
I really appreciate these videos - you've taught me a lot about jewelry construction. Some thoughts on stones - The "maybe agate" pendant looks like Howlite, to me. Usually you can see some light through an agate & agate is gonna be worth more than howlite. Clear/colorless tourmaline (achroite tourmaline) is super rare & quite valuable. Odds are really, really low that a random clear stone you're testing is gonna be tourmaline. Almost certainly glass. Thanks again!
How do I list the rocks that are not rubys, diamonds etc etc with a gold or silver chain? Gemstones? Will be a general name? So “10k bracelet with gemstones”? Thanks
I learned so much from this video, which made me go out and buy the tools i need to test almost 40lbs of jewelry that I have had in my closet for ages. WOW and to think I was just going to Donate to the Boy's Club for their sale to raise $$. Again Thank you..
Rusty, I don't know if you check these, but there are a couple things I wanted to say. First of all, I wanted to say you're amazing. I have learned so much from you. I truly believed I knew a lot about reselling a lot about jewelry and a lot about how to Google things and figure it out myself. But I truly have learned a lot. And I appreciate you more than you will ever know. One thing I wanted to tell you, yesterday. I found a necklace from sarah Covington that was sterling Silver. It said both Sarah Covington and Sterling silver on the same necklace tag i send you a picture but I don't know where to send it. Secondly, in this video on the ring. You say that baette could be tourmaline. I've mined tourmaline. As far as I know there's no clear tourmaline. You've said something like that before in some other video I can't remember.Tourmaline is my favorite and I go to the tourmaline mines. I have gotten so much jewelry, so many family members have passed away. And now you make me want to go buy more stuff, but luckily the video of "don't go by more stuff" came up so i'm not doing that. My husband thanks you for that, I thank ❤😊you for all your help.
Rusty, I love your videos! I’ve collected costume jewelry for 22 years, nothing expensive or valuable, but your videos have helped me learn about stuff!
Great video!! I want to start selling jewelry and that was very informative. The only question I have is how did the scrap the metal off without damaging the piece?
The circular clasp on the gold necklace has a metal spring inside it, which is what is causing it to be picked up by the magnet. The clasp will be gold, if that is what it's marked. This is a common mistake made by people, so you really need to test the clasp.
That AVON ring @21:14 is from 1977. I sold AVON then. I also had 3 I accumulated at estate auctions inn box lots. Not sure what the value is as I haven't tried to sell it or researched it. And Caravelle watches is a secondary line from longtime New York watchmaker Bulova. They can sometimes bring decent $.
I used to love playing Operation. It's sad that they don't make games like that anymore. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I took plenty of✍︎ notes. You're awesome! ℬ🐻✌︎
Hello. Just found your channel and hubby and I watched this video today. It was fabulous!!! Where do you sell? I’m interested in your rhinestone lot that other buyer sent back. Hugs from Oregon.
A friend gave me jewelry that belonged to her mother. It was a BIG box. Most of it wasn’t valuable at all. However, there was some gold and silver. A jeweler gave me $250 for it and I gave it to friend. I sold some Trifari earrings also.
the ring at 21:16 into your video is a kensington ring from avon. I wanted this ring when i was a young girl but didnt have money to buy it. What amount will you sell this for
Grrreat content! Rusty, what are the best ways to clean costume jewelry, such as rhinestones? Thank you! ps What about real jewelry? How would you clean it?
I would put no returns on those lots you sell. That reseller probably does that all the time. Buys lots to find the good stuff and if it’s not there for a profit they send it back. That’s scummy

Cousin, this has been the best demonstration of jewelry on you tube! You are a genius! I
Iove your channel!
The backing on the little pearl earrings is magnetic and the jump ring on the gold necklace has a spring inside that is magnetic

Beautiful bracelet
Good for you to pay your friend something more. The honest thing to do. Great to see such integrity in someone. Enjoy your vids.😊
May God bless Rusty and his reselling always. Most grateful for unselfishly sharing valuable knowhow in identifying and pricing jewelry.

Wow, Rusty, you're so personable and clever in what you do .By educating yourself so well, we can all learn a lot from you.Thank you!
The springs inside the spring rings are magnetic.
Fabulous finds of gold and silver!

Thank you for going through the whole process. Helped me tremendously. Where do you find the daily price for silver and gold?
the springs in jump rings are usually not gold or silver. They usually react to a magnet.

Beautiful pieces, I'm just started buying and selling jewelry. I was wondering how much to price the pieces? Can I reach you to talk?
Rusty get you a tripod!
Lol! You are clever. Way to plug your other channels! Love it!
Thank you for the informative video. Learned a lot today.

Great video lots of good information, thanks for sharing.
At 47:51 the Jump Ring is gold and why the magnet is picking it up is because the little spring in the jump ring is not gold.
Wow wee. That was incredible.
Excellent tutorial! Well done. Rusty!😊
very helpful! I have all those gadgets for testing jewelry. Thank you for all the details!
Good info. Thanks. God bless you and your crew.
The round hand made glass beads are with something. Depends on how detailed the design is.
This was a very helpful video! Thank you!😊
Rusty, I love your videos! I’ve collected costume jewelry for 22 years, nothing expensive or valuable, but your videos have helped me learn about stuff!
Thanks Rusty🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😁
Rusty Excellent Video Cuz! Thank you!
Great gift from a friend !!
You need to buy a head mount for hands free camera recording.
The spring inside the spring ring is steel and will react to a magnet. The spring ring can still be sterling or gold.
Great video!! I want to start selling jewelry and that was very informative. The only question I have is how did the scrap the metal off without damaging the piece?
The circular clasp on the gold necklace has a metal spring inside it, which is what is causing it to be picked up by the magnet. The clasp will be gold, if that is what it's marked.
This is a common mistake made by people, so you really need to test the clasp.
Thank you for the entertaining video. How much please for the black jewellery tray lot in the beginning of the video? 🙂
Love that daisy looking flower on stem, frosted looking petals with pink stones. How much would you sell that piece for?
Thanks, Cousin, you Rock with valuable information!❤
how much for that lot they sent back to you?'
The Cardinal pin is a bowling award probably for a high game. VSWBA is Virginia State Women’s Bowling Association.
Happy to hear your wound is healing🎉
Wow I haven't seen any of those charm earrings since 1992!
Rusty how much do you want for that lot.
Great video
those smaller chains at the end are necklace extenders
I learned a lot from your videos. Thanks. What acids did you use to test the gold?
Just excellent...loved the gold, silver, and gemstone analysis
Does bent pin, like broach back, belong in repairs/ missing?( my newest organization direction)
That AVON ring @21:14 is from 1977. I sold AVON then. I also had 3 I accumulated at estate auctions inn box lots. Not sure what the value is as I haven't tried to sell it or researched it.

Inspiring. Thanks for much for your tips!
Great video. Love seeing the gem tester and scratch test as I never saw that before. Really cool.
Thank you!
Fantastic video! You answered sooooo many questions I've had! Thank you!!
I used to love playing Operation. It's sad that they don't make games like that anymore. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I took plenty of✍︎ notes. You're awesome! ℬ🐻✌︎
I think the xoxoxo bracelet was fro. Kay jewlers. It looks familiar from the 90s. Or 2000.
One of the best demos of jewelry!
Is the jewelry box going to be listed?
Hello. Just found your channel and hubby and I watched this video today. It was fabulous!!! Where do you sell? I’m interested in your rhinestone lot that other buyer sent back. Hugs from Oregon.
This is awesome!!!
On what platform do you sell these?
eBay mostly
What is the value of the emerald/diamond tennis bracelet?
Love the Mona Lisa on your wall , Rusty if that was the original would've been the find of the millennium 😊 Awesome show 😊😊😊❤
Thanks so much! it was actually painted by my Grandfather!
Thanks for sharing 😊
Very important information! Thank you very much 🙏

Great video Rusty. Thank you for all the info.
Love your channel TH-cam recommended to no regrets after all I love it
Very interesting and learned a lot.
Im a new subscriber, great informative video, and what a lovely gift you have there .....
You didn’t include the cost of the emeralds in the cost of the bracelet.
A sm. pillbox will hold assorted earring backs, for pierced ears. Convenient!!
Grrreat content! Rusty, what are the best ways to clean costume jewelry, such as rhinestones? Thank you! ps What about real jewelry? How would you clean it?
this is real awesome! Thank you! So helpful!
Why not use the magnet?
Paolo jewelry...worthy of more investigation and testing. Could be gemstone and gold
🇺🇲🇵🇷🇲🇽😎 You need to take the stones out of that ring to get the proper weight of gold
lets go!
Some Avon custom metal has real pearls. So make sure you know how to test pearls.
Boy those Waltham can go for thousands!
It's unlikely that those stones were aquamarine or tourmaline.
What is an earren? Do you mean ear ring?
That's my weed scale!
Donated the uwanted stuff!
Spring ring clasp. Not jump ring. (Spring rings are clasps. Jump rings are connectors. I'm sure internet will correct me if I'm wrong.)
:-)
Do you still have Monet gold chain Necklace? I am interested 40:49
Chrome diopside bracelet
GM car keys square is ignition round is door and trunk
😊
Some heavier jewelry is worth wearing!

Do you donate tge trash to opp shops. People will buy stuff for craft.x
I would put no returns on those lots you sell. That reseller probably does that all the time. Buys lots to find the good stuff and if it’s not there for a profit they send it back. That’s scummy
