When my mom was alive, and worked, she was a brooch woman. She had so many. I remember every morning my mom getting ready and pinning on a brooch. I have one of her christmas brooches. Maybe ill wear it this next christmas.
I just picked up a jewelry box my self @ auction to sort through. Unfortunately I didn’t get lucky like you two but I have to test a couple rings for diamonds 🤞 Fun video ‼️
Does not take long to add up with Gold the price it is right now. The Diamonds as well, a few of the settings looked like 40's or 50's designs. Nice going.
Never take Sterling bracelets for granted. It depends upon the designer's name. Some are worth $200 to $1,000 each. Learn the names of the new designers out there.
Do you think you would get more from a jewelry store selling it for scrap gold than you would auctioning it off? The price they will give you for gold would surprise you, I think. The diamond rings you could put on consignment? This was the best jewelry haul you've ever done! Congratulations Melissa and Alex! Thank you.
You made me laugh so hard when Melissa was checking her diamond. There certainly were some beautiful pieces in there. I was surprised at the amount of gold. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
Nice find Sir, as usual curiosity Inc hits another vein of gold in a few random Jewelry boxes, I'm like Alex I will recognize good/quality stuff first and then I'll spot a few pieces of gold, bundle up what I already have and then say how much for everything!!! as they contemplate this, I will make them an offer they can't refuse...🤔and it's usually a very good price.
Welcome to our viewer family. We love Alex, Melissa and their family and hope you will love them too. He has explained and showed us why he doesn't use a tripod too often in some older videos. As a long time viewer I can tell you it's much better without a tripod. We can actually see things better, especially when he's looking in boxes. When he uses a tripod he ends up moving it around a lot so we can get a better look at the details of something and a lot of times he's moving around and/or going from one box to another. He does use empty bins/boxes to sort and separate stuff especially if he does a house clean out or buys a large lot of something. He also uses tables in a building he has to lay things out on so he can sort them and put like items together then put them in a bin or box. It also helps when there's a missing part that may be in another box. Trust me, he really does have a method to his madness. I've been watching from the beginning and haven't quite figured exactly what that is but it works perfectly for him.
ummmm, I have been around the world in small markets. The number one thing the sellers would say about a diamond or ruby tester, was...the batteries are low! I would go to the store, buy new batteries and come back. Using their tester, nothing would change!
I am very interested how much you pay and how much you get out of it. What is highest price for something like this you would pay, even if it is not sure to get "enough" out of it.
It’s his little-boy-on-a-treasure-hunt excitement🤣…which, after all, is what makes their channel so great. I actually love the dynamics between Alex and Melissa. It makes my heart happy, seeing a couple who works, plays, parents, *and* plans as a team. (The only exceptions over the years have maybe 3 or 4 times when Alex surprisingly got a bit grumpy-eyed or curt w/Melissa - probably just exhaustion on his part, and possibly no one but another woman might’ve even noticed, but hey, no one’s perfect. Even Alex). Anyway, I love it when he and Melissa “inventory” together.
I don’t see it as Alexander taking over, he has the camera which in turn is all of you, so he just wants to make sure that everyone is part of the experience ❤ Thank you all for always looking out for both of us.
Alex and Melissa my darlings. You hit the jackpot with the jewelry boxes. Lots of beautiful pieces. The snow outside looks like fun. I live in an area with no snow. Well my loves. Until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya ❤️🕊🙏🌹🌞🌈😇👍🇺🇸
The pink stones in that bracelet could be alexandrite. She had a lot of pearl as well so alexandrite and pearl are june birthstones. This person could ve had a june birth date.
I wanted to see each piece a little closer and to know what carat gold it was. Also, I like the costume jewelry as well. I'm really into jewelry. Loved this!
Why is it when there are toys, we get to see each one but when there is jewelry, Alex takes over and rushes through it? Even after he laid some of the items out, the camera was swinging around so quickly that I couldn’t get a good look at anything.
Alex came up covered in gold again! 03:08 The stones in the earrings are possibly topaz or sapphire. Both are used as better diamond substitutes. I'm betting a lot of the diamond rings are post-WWII engagement rings. The poppy pins have me wanting them - here in the lower 48 we don't get any..darnitt! 11:42 When a bracelet has a safety chain, check for marks. I have no idea what he paid, but odds are those tangled chains will scrap out enough to cover both boxes and then some.
I just love the jewelry box opening videos :) Found your channel today while watching antiquing videos and im now going to binge watch some of the older videos you have as well. Keep up with the amazing finds! Cant wait to show my partner the car/game videos on your channel, he will most likely enjoy those :)
Felt this video could have been way longer if you'd let Melissa check more of the pieces on camera and also show her checking the jewelry completely, and showing her knowledge, instead of diving into the box to show another item which you would guess at. We have patience, Alex and it would have been good if you'd had some here.
Alex I see there is a USB dongle in that big jewelry box. Maybe there are some important documents on it or some Bitcoin you should really check that out.
What Fun! Alex! True Tresure,Box! Mary in Hilliard,Florida! Not David b.! Say Hello! To Melissa! Too! Love watching what you Find! Been watching for few years now! Stay safe ! Bye! For now!♥️♥️♥️🤔😁😎🌴😉
The gold, silver, and diamonds are definitely nice. Please don't discount the costume jewelry. As a reseller, I have sold some lovely vintage costume for good money. For example, a Trifari butterfly sold for $100. ❤
So fortunate that Melissa has a jewelry background. You guys make. Great team!
When my mom was alive, and worked, she was a brooch woman. She had so many. I remember every morning my mom getting ready and pinning on a brooch. I have one of her christmas brooches. Maybe ill wear it this next christmas.
Boy do I love these mystery jewelry boxes. Melissa has the most amazing dimples that can be seen with the loop in her eye.
As a Watchmaker and Jeweller’s daughter, your jewellery hauls fascinate me. Loved this.
Pull out the bottom drawer of the large jewelry box. My moms box looked exactly the same and had a nice surprise once the drawer came out.
Haven't heard the word **WHILST** said in decades. Nice Alex!
Very nice items ❤
I love when Melissa’s on, I’m really enjoying her channel, such a sweet humble lady
This was very interesting. Thanks for sharing. All the best.
I just picked up a jewelry box my self @ auction to sort through. Unfortunately I didn’t get lucky like you two but I have to test a couple rings for diamonds 🤞
Fun video ‼️
Slow down and let us see what Melissa has before you start pulling other stuff out of the box.
Thanks Alex and Melissa!
Jackpot! Awesome video! We love all of your content! Both of you guys make an amazing team.
Cha Ching !! Awesome find !! So many nice pieces !
Does not take long to add up with Gold the price it is right now. The Diamonds as well,

So calm as you're finding diamonds and gold items. I would be " oh my gosh, real diamonds! " repeatedly! 😅
Do you think you would get more from a jewelry store selling it for scrap gold than you would auctioning it off? The price they will give you for gold would surprise you, I think. The diamond rings you could put on consignment? This was the best jewelry haul you've ever done! Congratulations Melissa and Alex! Thank you.
Nice find!!! 💖❤💘💝💓I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great evening!
I could sift through old jewelry for hours...this video was way too short! Haha Nice haul!!
OoooH Wow you got White Grass outside……😊
You made me laugh so hard when Melissa was checking her diamond. There certainly were some beautiful pieces in there. I was surprised at the amount of gold. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
The stones in the silver bracelet at 14:02 I think they may be tanzanite.
love these mystery jewellry boxes thats a nice collection 👍🏻
Great Video Love Watching them I've watched a little over half of them
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You have a good eye Alex. I'd be more curious what's on that flash drive...Hmmmm?
Saaaaaaame 😂
Started watching a few days ago, and I like watching. My biggest pet peeve is not having a tripod for your camera, not having empty bins for sorting.
There’s a reason for that

I want to score a jewelry box full of diamonds and gold! Lucky day!
I know someone that would love that spider
Very interesting! Too bad the video was so rushed.
NICE ROCKS.
Alex...you have the "golden touch "... I opened the box , glanced and saw had jewelry and threw in lot....hah. Looks like a gold mine...
ummmm, I have been around the world in small markets. The number one thing the sellers would say about a diamond or ruby tester, was...the batteries are low! I would go to the store, buy new batteries and come back. Using their tester, nothing would change!

“Agate” necklace may be tortoiseshell
Where do you guys sell your items.
This is my first time seeing your channel,it was great but didn't get to see everything close up, camera man please!
Where do u list the diamond rings?
❤😊
well at least melissa,s rock is real
How much did you pay?
❤❤❤
USB stick?
you never rub pearl on theeth learned that juwelers scool?? or the pearl gives or your teeth...
Alex's nervous chuckle when Melissa was checking her diamond was everything!! 🤣😂
Ales, every time you say Melissa is going to go through the jewelry you end up taking over.
I actually thought the tag teamed really well.
It’s his little-boy-on-a-treasure-hunt excitement🤣…which, after all, is what makes their channel so great. I actually love the dynamics between Alex and Melissa. It makes my heart happy, seeing a couple who works, plays, parents, *and* plans as a team.

I don’t see it as Alexander taking over, he has the camera which in turn is all of you, so he just wants to make sure that everyone is part of the experience ❤ Thank you all for always looking out for both of us.
That is because, he realizes how much fun she is having. And doesn't want to miss out.😊
ii thought the same..😂😂
Melissa: Let me try it on my ring.
Alex: NOooo!
😁
Made me laugh 😂
Me too 😂 was he sweating just a little?🇦🇺
Great haul, the red crystal gem stone necklace I don't think it's agate I think it's carnelian.
You're right, it's Carnelian
Alex, let your wife do the work without rushing Her! Geez!
For real, so frustrating! Hahaha
Great video. Always love videos with Melissa's reaction. Thanks for sharing.
Alex and Melissa my darlings. You hit the jackpot with the jewelry boxes. Lots of beautiful pieces. The snow outside looks like fun. I live in an area with no snow. Well my loves. Until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya ❤️🕊🙏🌹🌞🌈😇👍🇺🇸

You briefly panned over a stick pin. I remember in the 80's we would wear cowl neck tops with a stick pin it was the fashion.
Thnx Alex, now that rhinestone panda song is stuck in my head all night 😅😂🙉🙉🙉
Alex is a bull going through a china shop when it comes to jewelry
That 1500 BTC usb drive just sitting there, getting ignored....
The jewlery are my favorite videos. I wish you guys would slow down and show it better. ❤
I wanted to see each piece a little closer and to know what carat gold it was. Also, I like the costume jewelry as well. I'm really into jewelry. Loved this!
You kind of turned into "the mad jeweler who waits for NO ONE" -- lol 🤪 🤭
I want to know what's on the thumb drive LOL
I love the Alex and Melissa jewellery episodes.
"It's very Wednesday Adams" LOL!
3,226 watching now - Please hit that LIKE button!
My fav sort of video...showing jewellery treasures....
I like them too!
OK, I'm gonna have to write new lyrics to 'Rhinestone Cowboy" to "Rhinestone Panda!" I'm already singing the new tune.
don't assume a marked piece of jewelry is what it is... test it for gold!
The person that used to own those boxes had beautiful taste.❤❤
Totally enjoyed the jewelry box openings, thanks.❤
Why is it when there are toys, we get to see each one but when there is jewelry, Alex takes over and rushes through it? Even after he laid some of the items out, the camera was swinging around so quickly that I couldn’t get a good look at anything.
wait...why would someone not go through this before selling it? Is this real?
I can’t wait. Going through one with ya’ here. 🙌🇨🇦
also don't assume that is something is marked 18k etc. that it is.. acid test it!
Wish you wouldn’t paw through it so fast. Let her show it!
Hey, look at that Melissa go, mum teacher & appraiser.😊

Yes, I noticed the safety chain on the bracelet too, was hoping they would test it.
.... so many pretty things! .....
Well done folks. Difficult to not rush to see it all we appreciate Melissa's expertise. 😁
Where is the best place to sell a gold chain in Edmonton? I have one i would like to sell.

Welcome!
very interesting find ❤
Oh this is fun to watch.
The heavy tiger pin might look good on a winter coat…
What is on the flash drive!!?!?!?!?!?!?
The tennis bracelet may be tanzanite?

The big orange stone is carnelian
Looks like a labradorite cat
Wow!!❤
You kind folks need a presidium so you can test the colored gems. Love your vids just like everyone else on the Planet! Oregon Kay
Alex I see there is a USB dongle in that big jewelry box. Maybe there are some important documents on it or some Bitcoin you should really check that out.
WOW you found a gold mine for sure. It's finds like that that keeps the thrill of the hunt going. I wish I could find one like that.
When is your next auction? Love your whole family ❤
Those pearls look expensive, Like Mikimoto.
Nice to see the two of you. Thanks for the video.
Live the rhinestone pins. Great video!❤❤❤
Jewelry I understand for sure. Some lovely pieces there too. Love the parrot and the cat pins. Have a great day
What Fun! Alex! True Tresure,Box! Mary in Hilliard,Florida! Not David b.! Say Hello! To Melissa! Too! Love watching what you Find! Been watching for few years now! Stay safe ! Bye! For now!♥️♥️♥️🤔😁😎🌴😉
Fifth Avenue Animals from The 90s. Cool. And that big necklace made from stones might suprise you.
That was fun. The rope necklace I have but it’s longer and fatter with a matching bracelet. I got it after my mom passed away.
The gold, silver, and diamonds are definitely nice. Please don't discount the costume jewelry. As a reseller, I have sold some lovely vintage costume for good money. For example, a Trifari butterfly sold for $100. ❤
It’s a Hawaiian Mailee Leaf gold plated
