A lot of crafters, especially etsy, will buy clip ons, single and broken pieces for pictures they create with jewelry. You could list them as supplies.
On large pieces people had added hoops to wear as necklace pieces.

Yes, I buy broken or unwanted jewelry to make other pieces with...I buy off of Facebook Marketplace. You could probably sell or give away there...please don't throw away!
Exactly right , just weigh what you don't want and list it on ebay . I sold my dad's 1 each cuff links !
I'm sad that I'm just seeing your video now but glad that they can still be seen this long after you posted it. Anyway, I have a comment for you on the large brownish ring you showed which you said may be a costume piece. I hope you are getting pieces like that checked out and or appraised. That ring looks like Amber. The ring itself maybe .925 silver. People that aren't familiar with Amber may not know what it is. The majority comes from Russia. In essence, it's tree sap that petrifies and its more valuable if there are tiny bugs or tree/leaf particles in each piece. If you ever get some free time, look up The Amber Room. You can Google it. The entire Room was cut down, boxed and stolen by the Nazi's. It has never been recovered. You can see a replica of the room thats been restored. Its so beautiful!
Put those clip earrings on Etsy! There are a LOT of people out there that live and dress in authentic vintage 40’s and 50’s that will scoop that up! 😊❤️
I follow someone here on youtube who has videos....I can recall her name but she's so interesting
All of the broken bits and pieces could be bagged together and sold as an upcycle lot. A lot of crafters love to find bags of "jewelry junk".
I agree. Someone may want the pieces to work with.
Give the jewelry that you don’t want to a nursing home or a senior center for their crafts!
I can’t believe these folks didn’t donate the jewlery. I’m so glad you save it!!
My Mom had a small tabletop Christmas tree she decorated with clip on earrings❤
That is a great idea!
I love it!
How creative!
That is pretty clever to be fair
oooooh. good idea!
Hi, Renee...I buy vintage jewelry for several collectors, and I just wanted to say that that large ring you said was marked 925 (Sterling) looks like a Margo Taxco piece. Taxco pieces were made in Mexico and can be pretty valuable...you really did find some nice pieces! Check the markings before selling. 📜 & 🦌 ❣
Thank you for the name on that ring, it is appreciated!
@@PaperandMoose You are welcome! Stay safe! ✌
You can sell broken jewelery to jewelery makers they can make new things out of the broken
Yes I really hope you checked that out cause it's says that a taxco ring is marked T C followed by 2/3 numbers.
Oh! My! Goodness!!! Please do not throw out the broken jewelry!! Sell them all together in a lot. Many jewelry makers and crafters would love to buy them!!😊
I’m a costumer and I love clip on earrings!! Great for quick changes and they are usually big enough to be seen easily on stage! Great for many time periods as well.
Clip-on earrings are great to put on a simple pair of shoes to dress them up and look unique. Just clip to the top section of pumps or flats.
Slave bracelet
Or sew on a clutch purse
Ellen De Lima or clip on a scarf.
Great idea! I'm going to try it!
I have a pink walker and lots of clip on jewelry that was passed on to me....I'm going to dress it up all pretty I think. I have an older one I use for everyday use and have been saving my pink one for special occasions. Now I can bling it up...thank you for the wonderful idea! 😀😆
Nursing homes used to like collect jewelry as BINGO prizes.
Yeah and I would play bingo when I visited my Mom and won and got to pick out a huge enamel Copper Renoir Brooch too! I was stoked!
@@adorejunk Love Renoir. I found the painters palette (very large) with matching earrings at a church sale. Talk about being stoked..
The horn and elk brooch pin represents the HOLY ELK OF SAINT HUBERT. Saint Hubert is the patron saint of hunters.
Interesting Christine
What is this pin made from. Any marks?
It's also for Oktoberfest when I looked online: www.germansteins.com/oktoberfest-hunters-stag-german-hat-pin/
Chico’s is a ladies clothing store that has its origination in Sanibel Island, Florida.
We have Chico's stores in California, higher end clothing store.
@@joanwellington2082 And nice jewelry.
The ring looks like amethyst and sterling.
The Ten Commandments bracelet probably dates back to the 1950’s. I remember them from my childhood.
The chunky stuff is definitely campy - that’s a word from the 70’s!
I've seen beautiful bridal bouquets made with costume jewelry. Also junk journalers use them. Great find!
The smile on your face when you pulled out the small box was priceless.
Chico’s is a clothing store usually found in malls. The jewelry is usually chunky and quite expensive.
In some cities, they are in high end shopping districts as well.
Chico's was a store for old chicks, like me!!! 😄😄😄👍👍👍
Love Chicos
Patty Robley yes it’s an upper end brand for sure.
Check Chico's online.shop. Expensive costume jewelry.
I’ve turned my grandma’s vintage clip ons into pierced! I love wearing them!
That's what I do but I do the opposite....I turned pierced one into clip on be careful of one of my ears hole got big
Based on the comments you did extremely well. That’s awesome.
It’s funny how a huge percentage inform you what 925 means and that Chico can bring decent $$$ 🤣
Blue Bus Dave will day, “What a score !” Crafters love odd pieces.
The really large circle pin is actually a scarf clasps.
Yes. Thank you. Wanted to say that but I will give you a thumbs up for spotting and knowing first!
The Chicos jewlery is pretty expensive for costume jewlery. A necklace usually ranges from $60-$150 if their vintage could be more 👏
925, sterling same thing. The bracelet with the ring attached was called a slave bracelet. Yes, really.
Somehow, I remember the rings being longer, though.
So sad that was a slave item.
Not the same thing. Same scrap price but different in its composition sterling can only have copper as it's remaining 7.5% any other metal makes it just 925 (92.5%) pure silver
@@wendyaminzadeh2165 it's just the name of the style of bracelet. It's not what was worn by actual slaves.
A lot of these are late 60's
I have purchased jewelry like this in bulk on eBay. Crafters will use it in projects. It’s a good way to sell it without having to figure out the pricing on each piece and shipping it all over the country.
This is !the kind of bag collectors dream of! DO NOT throw out the broken jewelry! It's a big seller!
Great Job Rene!!!!!!!!!!!!! Say Hello to Taco Please!!!!!!!! Sterling is 925 or a Trademark, or Makers Mark!!!!!!!! Smile and make it fun for yourself and it will Tickle your viewers!!!!!!! Use your loop while on camera if not you kill the mood for your viewers to explorer the bag of goodies!!!!!!! We are excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t throw out Renee, crafters would love picking up pieces just like that, try selling them at you flea markets first, sadly I live so far from America so I can’t come to you for a rummage☹️
Yes, put a lot together of parts and whole pieces you don't want and sell it online.
And theatres!
Indeed!
925 indicates sterling silver (code for s.s.), all you have shown is what I use for tassles, focal points, decoration and closures on junk journals. Great haul including clip ons. BTW Tiffany do make clipons for their clients. All of it can be metallic sprayed for steam-punk decoration. Chico is a costume jewellery maker brand (they have a web site). Love your channel.
Don’t throw out broken stiff. Just throw it in small sandwich bags and sell for a few bucks at the flee market.
925 is Sterling silver. That charm bracelet you found is Sterling as well and it is vintage.
No it's not it's got the same purity but sterling is a British standard for its silver and can only be mixed with copper. If its not marked sterling it isn't sterling just 92.5% pure silver.
I would sell the broken jewelry as a lot. As long as you indicate its broken.
So careless. She said she was looking for gold, there are other metals that are valuable.
Carved Mother of Pearl Bethlehem pin is worth looking up on Ebay.
From the Holy Lands
Great vintage haul. What they would call 80s retro or bohemian. People love that stuff and crafters love it too.
Chico's is a clothing brand, it can be pricey. It does has some resale value
There is a Chico's store near me, they have clothing, shoes, jewelry, in there own labels, and some other things.
I have paid good money for bags just like that!
I love old jewelry , some of the ones people think are ugly I find the most beautiful.
Hi Renee. Oooooohhhhhhh I knew the second you started a “trash pile”’for that jewelry you were going to be in trouble. Hahahhahaha. There are a lot of crafters and junk journal makers who would looooove to have those broken items. Lol. I read the comments and “you got in trouble” LOL. Where you love paper I LOVE vintage jewelry. I actually get giddy like you do when you’re looking at paper😂😂😂. And that’s what makes this amazing world go around. One mans junk is another mans treasure. Keep the videos coming. I love them all. PS. I went to the junk journal you told us about- she’s German.... I don’t have her name in front of me but she is AWESOME!! She has a great eye and I love all of her journals. Thank you for sharing your friends. She spoke highly of you💕
Isn't she great! (Pirjo Blues) I love seeing what she finds and how she puts everything together. I still have to attempt to make a junk journal, I just hesitate if I would be "doing it wrong". And no worries on the jewelry, nothing has been tossed out! I learned my lesson in that video for sure haha.
Donate/sell anything you don’t want, even loose and broken items. So many people repurpose into beautiful art.
Good Morning Little Sprite😁 I watch you and Taco Stacks every morning. It's a great way to have my morning. 😁BUTTON BUTTON😁
Hope you have a great weekend Selenea!
Whoever owned the jewelry was COOL! I wonder why she threw it out. Hope she is still here wearing lots of super cool jewelry.
I bet the person has passed away and someone just threw all of her things away.
@@laurieweaver7001 I thought the same. Much of it not my style but other would love it so I wouldve donated
I love watching you do this. U really enjoy and take such pride in doing this. You have an old soul. Really really like this . Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the kind comment! Glad that you enjoy the videos!
I just saw a wedding bouquet that a bride made out of costume jewelry. It was gorgeous.
I have seen those before on Pinterest and I agree - beautiful and it will last forever!
Clip on earrings can be put on a chain or leather tie as a necklace. They can also be put as a brooch with a safety pin and the clip hangs from it. If you have broken chain necklaces and the beads are nice collect and sell as a collection. Jewellery crafters can remake them into other jewelry pieces. The small beads I have crafted into Christmas trees using styrofoam cones.
All that jewelry will sell, even the mardi gras beads. Pick out the best ones to sell individually, lot the rest as wearable/broken crafter lot. They sell by the pound as lots. You can even sell lots of non-working watches as steampunk lots. Check out estate jewelry lots on eBay, I think you’ll be surprised at the prices they go for. Also make sure to check the earring backs, you may find silver or gold ones. Gold and silver sell well and Blue Bus Dave can probably point you to a buyer in the area. Thank you for sharing this Renee! I love jewelry and purses! 💍👜
Jewelry jars
Little girls would love those long beaded necklaces for dress-up play!!
I am crying every time you put something in the trash or on the floor....
Me too!!!!
You can easily repurpose those beads into something else.
Me too. Don't throw them away. Put them in an big old jar or vase ectr. and sell them as " Costume jewelry treasure jar". You will get some $$$$$ ♥
Do the same with broken parts and single clip ones. But mark them as "broken.
Right😕
Have those beads with the ribbons on them looked at by a jeweler.
Just two days ago (7/7/20) this lady's daughter was looking in her mom's old jewelry box at her dad's house (the mom left it there after their divorce) TMI,right🤭
But anyway,there were some pink beads,a bracelet and earrings 8n there. We thought it was just nice costume jewelry but it was 100% Real. Worth about $1500+
Her mom told the daughter get my jewelry box and bring it with you when you come back home.🤭👍
She had very nice pieces in there some belonged to her mom that had passed away.
Style is Macy’s and Chico’s is a women’s clothing, jewelry, shop
.925 means its sterling
It's a Mexico mark so can sometimes be nickel silver, needs to be tested.
Haha! 🤣
No.
925 Is the Sterling silver mark..
These rings have “925” stamped on them, meaning that they are not made of solid gold. 925 is a standard sign used to mark sterling silver, and the meaning of the stamp is that the silver content in the piece is 92.5% (i.e., the remaining 7.5% is comprised of other elements)
@@Miladyluvs No sterling is the standard stamp for sterling. It is a British standard it means that it is 92.5% silver and the rest copper. 925 means it is 92.5 % silver and the rest any other metal. It can only be sterling if it is copper. It is called sterling as a pond of it in weight was worth £1 (one pound sterling) in our currency.
I had several pieces marked 925, took to reputable jeweler, said they were not sterling but an alloy.
Bethlehem jewelry is hand carved and beautiful! Broken jewelry is the bomb for those who make jewelry. Bags of broken jewelry would sell at flea markets.
Now it seems you don’t know that 925 is sterling, Renee, please ask Blue Bus Dave for his opinion, he’s a real expert in jewelry!! I think you know him.
A lot of the clip on earrings can be made into pins. You can also convert them to pierced earrings, but the heavier/larger ones would work better as pins. You can buy the hardware at any craft store.
Mama Fratelli! She kept pulling the beads out of Mouth's mouth! "oh my God!"
My daughter's bridal bouquet was bought on Etsy. The girl used tulle and costume jewelry. I only wish I could tell you how absolutely gorgeous it was. She still.uses it for decor.
Chicos it's a big brand here in California and some Chico's jewelry are made with real semy precious stone and pewter I have a pewter and amathista citrine and peridot necklaces from Chicos long time ago maybe 20 year ago and it's quite worthy! Check your turquoise or blue stone maybe it's real who knows!
The "hat pin" was called a stick pin; worn on clothes.
If you find a tube top, turban and tiny cigars I think someone is my aunts doppelganger.
Romance with the Past that made me laugh out loud !
The amount of waste in the US is off the charts! Watching these dumpster dive videos has really opened my eyes to the massive waste in the US. It's always great to see people managing to save a lot of these discarded items from the landfills. then find the items a new home and a new purpose.
A large amount of waste could be avoided if more towns allowed items to be put out with the garbage, rather than forcing the containment of garbage strictly to a garbage can. I can only imagine some of the great vintage & antique items that are tossed in a trash can because a home can't place them out on their curb due to being fined.
@@PaperandMoose I live in a large metropolitan city. We must recycle, there are separate recycling bins for paper, glass and tin. In large apartment complexes, daily 'wet' grab (food discards etc) must be bagged and thrown down a chute, then that garbage gets compressed. Clothing and things such as costume jewelry cannot be thrown down garbage chutes. Complexes are actually fined if different types of garbage are mixed together in one bag, doing this also creates more work for the maintenance people, who must spend extra time separating garbage which wasn't recycled properly. In co-op and condo complexes, the high and continuous fines are eventually passed on to residents in the form of rent hikes.
The ring looks Mexican in design I would think 925 is sterling
I agree.
I agree.
925 is sterling
Nope 925 is silver that is 92.5% pure and mixed with any other metal. Sterling can only be mixed with copper or it isn't sterling even though the purity is the same. This is because it's the British standard for silver (why it's called pound sterling) and one pound in weight was worth one pound in currency when the standard was adopted.
I think there is way more money here than you realize. Broken jewelry can be sold as a craft lot on etsy. The Mexican ring is, most likely, Mexican silver and the coral is possibly angel skin coral. The Jerusalem brooch is mother of pearl. The ring with the purple stone looks like silver with amethyst. Watches also can be sold in a craft lot. Crafters will want them for the gears. Tip for filming - Always put the camera in front of you and put your lighting behind the camera pointed at you. This way, you don't need to look for the right angle. The light will always be directed at what you want lit. Tiffany does make clip ons, btw. I've thought about wearing them because my ears are so sensitive. I just haven't pulled the trigger, yet.😁
Take all the jewelry and take it to BlueBusDave and trade it for paper items. Use your loupe to look over possible gold or silver and dont make mistakes in identifying such as you know who did at the flea market lol.
Right, so Dave can screw her over like he did Taco Stacks, I hope she's smarter than that
What a fun find! Hours of fund just looking through it all. Don't throw any of it away. As other have noted, it can be sold. I actually use broken pieces of jewelry in my mixed media art. I find much at thrift stores and friends will also give me their "junk". It never looks the same after I get done with it! I even use the clock works from inside the watches so those can be gutted and the gears sold.
Chico's is costly costume, boy o boy, this was so much fun
Renee a lot of the fake pearl necklaces including the ones with the ribbon look like ones I used to wear in the 1980s. How fun ! I remember Chicos as a clothing store and they sold jewelry too. Thank you for sharing your find being locked in is making us crazy and we miss our junk stores being open.
Those are Egyptian scarabs of wisdom on the bracelet ring. Could be from the 50s-60s. NICE.
The very large pin is a shawl pin, some rings can be used to joint scarves through, long strands of beads can also be braided together for purses or evening bags.
Flower pin looks like poppy the veterans it a big deal I loved the giraffe pin too great finds
I definitely miss being able to go trash picking since everyone has their own individual cans on their property 😢 I used to find the best things! We also do cleanouts for people and get to keep whatever we find plus get paid for doing the work. The last 2 properties were owned by hoarders! I mean stuff from top to bottom and not junk! They would shop and throw things down so much of it was brand new still. They collected EVERYTHING! Vintage coke stuff still in boxes, vintage dolls, barbies and game systems. I found a brand new Nintendo in the original box with everything including booklets, instructions etc and super Mario 3 in the box unopened. So much gold jewelry rings, bracelets, necklaces etc. We also found about 2 grand in old bills and they didn't want any of it or to deal with it as it belonged to their parents who passed. I wish we could score like that every day! 🙏🙏 I just recently found you and have watched many of your videos. I love how sweet and appreciative you seem instead of getting mad when its not exactly what you would hope for. You see value in everything and donate so much and even to the animal shelters ❤ I love that so much! I wish I had someone like you around to go digging with and share our finds. It would be so much fun!! Pray you're doing well and still at it! 🙏💜💜
"1925" was a brand name ... . CHICO'S is expensive! The pieces match their clothes..check catalog online! In the 1980s animal pins were in...
yes, hang them with a thread. also sometimes some of them may look like a mini food.take the back off(after making sure they are not vintage!) clean 'em up n wear them! redo the back for pierced. use them as a necklace . display them in a basket. take them apart and use the beads for something else.
I did find a tiffany necklace at a garage sale for .75 cents I love it Gucci wallet for .50 cent and the list goes on and on!
Those long beaded necklaces remind me of the ones shown from the "roaring '20's". Very popular.
DO NOT THROW AWAY broken jewelry! i will buy it to repurpose. loved this video. thanks for posting. i learn a lot by reading the comments for your videos 😊
Those large pins are coat pins popular in the late 80s early 90s.
I have seen picture frames with costume jewelry glued on the entire frame.It was lovely!
PAM, the bracelet with the chain and ring attached is referred to as a Slave Bracelet. Depending on age it could be worth $5 or $150. Nice piece!
Those pins of every different size would go so nice on the lapel of a solid blazer. Every single thing there could be resold. My mother used to absolutely love those fashion watches
Could that huge circle “pin” maybe be for hair? Like around a bun and the pins go through the bun.
That would b pretty
I think you are correct about it being an accessory for updos.
Or for a shawl pun
Pin
Renee, I do a ton of things with clip on earrings. I make refrigerator magnets, decorate picture frames, make bracelets. I love them!
Would love stag pin, It would look great on my son's kilt! Let me know what you want for it.
Oh and sometimes thrift stores will put a bunch of jewelry in a bag or jar and can usually find at least of few pieces of real gold or silver. The hard part is that its usually a bunch of tangled necklaces with other stuff tangled in it that they dont want to bother taking the time to seperate in order to sell so just sell it bulk.
925 denotes sterling silver on the ring you held up
No it would mean the silver is 92.5% silver and the rest of a different metal or metals sterling can only be mixed with copper, 925 does not mean it is sterling as it isn't a garuntee of the quality of the metals like something that is marked as sterling.
Dear RENEE: this most definitely a larger gal that this jewelry belonged to. Some of those necklaces you could wear for a belt. The pink and pretty blue beads might be considered as part of your Easter display. They could lie placed on the table around your little chicks and ducks. There was one necklace that had a big round brown piece on it that would make a beautiful pin. The clip ratings can be turned into pierced very easily.BUT, if you decide you want to sell the 10 commandments bracelet would you let me know how much you want for it. Don’t be in a hurry to throw. The jewelry away.
That wasn't a hat pin, but was worn or lapel or chest . Big fad in late 70's or early 80's .
They were called stick pins. Very popular in the 80's. I had quite a few of them.
There are some of us in the world who repurpose costume jewelry for many other things. LOL even 'broken' pieces.
Maybe you could sell some of the pins to Blue Bus Dave.
My friend buys plain photo frames and vases from garage sales; then she uses either a hot glue gun (frames) or a ceramic tile mixture (vases); she will also add decorative buttons; pieces of broken china. She has a great imagination of how she wants the piece to look from the treasures she found.
You will be surprised when you list & sell the Chico’s pieces! Have fun!!!
I am so glad you saved that from the trash....clip earrings are used in art projects so I bet you can sell it....stay safe
My Mom only wore clip-on earrings, her whole life. She was too afraid of needles to get her ears pierced.
“Omg I had a dream Louis Armstrong was starting to kill me!” Love that movie!!!
*trying
you need to get a hold of bluebus dave. clip-on can made into pierced earrings. great haul
Those big earrings make shoe clips, brooches, pendants... taken apart they can be remade into anything! I loved some of that stuff. Unfortunately I remember some of it too, worse still, I have some.... I think you have a Drag Queen haul🤩
loved even the first box....what fun!!!
The clip ons and other pieces would be beautiful in one of the jewelry Christmas trees very talented crafty people make...
I HAVE A JEWELRY CHRISTMAS TREE MY MOTHER MADE. ITS QUITE BEAUTIFUL. BE PERFECT FOR YOU TO MAKE.LOVE YOU.🙏🐾🌷🐈💕
linda g I just found out about those. Saw some over on Ashley Rose 🌹 Beautiful.
I use the clip ons to decorate my flats when I wear an all black outfit. I love some of the pins ..what a cool find
Yes don't throw out any jewelry. Crafters will but them. Post on etsy mabe in bundles.
You could even donate too your local theater.
I am just adding to what everyone else is saying about not throwing away any of the jewelry, even the tiny pieces. BB Dave could let you know what is gold and silver plus any special piece with semi precious stones. I would love to go though this piece by piece. For the higher end flea markets use small jelly jars or canning jars if you have enough jewelry and it you have fabulous pieces display them separately or sell them on etsy. Have fun with this. Regards
You and Blue Bus Dave have quite the magical hauls of jewelry! Adult version of " kids in a candy store"!
I was just going to say she needs to talk to BB Dave as he sells pins and other jewelry for a big part of his online stores. He really knows his stuff and can give you information to help you if need.
He would love the giraffe pin.
I love using old jewelry to make vintage assemblages. I rarely find it. Wow you made a score. Watch Tarnished Treasures she also makes assemblages. Such beautiful things. I’m so jealous. Lol.
