- Thanks for joining my mother and me today! She went to two yard sales the other day and she paid $40 at one sale for a box of jewelry & there is quite a bit of real gold! We will go through the real stuff in this video, a bit of this and that -- and some non-jewelry items at the end. We had a blast making this video, we hope you enjoy it too. Hugs, Sandra & Mom.

She gets so lucky - BUT - goes to many many sales!!! thank you! xo
Your Mymom is so cute 🥰! (Mymom is a reference to a cute animated film called, 'Home'.) My Mymom passed in 2020 a week before the pandemic. She was 91. I miss her. I inherited a lot of her beautiful vintage jewelry from the 40's - 60's. She also had some beautiful cocktail rings her 2nd husband gifted her.
So very sorry for your loss, but 91 is a pretty good. Still sad. Enjoy the jewelry and thanks so much for watching!!!! Sandra (and Mom)!
Wow! Another Great Haul! Good to see your Mom looking Healthy! I wish I had her Luck. Looing forward to seeing the Rest
Thanks Diane!!!
Your Mon has that Feeling in her finger tips for Gold. She’s Solid Gold!🤩🤩🤩👍💯👍
You are so nice - thanks!!!!
Your mom just has the Midas touch doesn't she so cool!
Yes!!!
Wow that bracelet is amazing!
Thanks Jennifer!
Greetings again and sorry about shouting earlier...my caps lock was on. Your lovely Chinese export bracelet is Silver Vermeil. I sold one for about $260.00 last year but had it posted for at least a month. Nice find and I agree wholeheartedly with your policy concerning your cleaning friend.
Thanks for the info!!
I can’t wait for the next video😊😊
Aw thanks!!! 😊
The bracelets were fantastic. Its nice when you have your Mom in the videos with you. Yall diffently share a love for jewelry.
Thanks a million!!!! 💋
That marcasite cat may be rhodium plated and that's why it's magnetic.
Love your videos and adore your mother. Thanks for sharing her with us.
Thank you so much!
Sandra, don't forget to look inside the bail. A lot of companies mark their jewelry there. Girl Scouts uses a trefoil, Boy Scouts use the Fleur de LIS. 💖🌹💍💎
Yes On the bale thing, I’ve seen that many times. The girl / Boy Scout thing is interesting !!! Thanks for your input and thanks for watching! Hugs.
@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter You are most welcome. Always happy to share. 💖🌹
Me too! Thanks again!!!
I was going to tell you I saw a mark on the side of the pendant with the icky stuff on the “pearl” but I see someone already told you, so instead I will say congratulations 🎉yay mom did it again 🎉 She’s so sweet. You are so very blessed in the mama department ❤
Thanks a million Jeanette! I see what you mean, but it wasn’t stamped too cleverly so I can’t see what it says! I’ll have to acid test it. Hugs.
I love the great way you get along with your mon. Love the videos, but love your mom more.
xozoxoxoxooxox
Great luck. I saw the mark on the pearl with gold. It's on the left side
I double checked and it is not readable - darn it! Thanks for telling me tho!!! Cheers!
Love watching your channel, don’t know that much about jewelry at 52 I really want to do this just feels like a treasure hunt ,
Yes it is a treasure hunt!!! It’s very exciting! Thanks
I love it when you have your Mom on with you. I see where you get your eye for jewelry from. Really enjoyed the video and can't wait to see more. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed!
Well that was a great video and your mom is so adorable you are so blessed to still have her with you! Thanks for sharing sweetie love your videos!
Thanks a million Mrs T - hope you’re well!!! xoxox
@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter ❤️❤️❤️🍷
Hi Mom, it's good to see your lovely smile. Good eye! I love the Cameo and the Red Heart!
Thanks Mary!!!!
If you put talcum powder on the tangled chains then use a large safety pin to untangle it helps..
Ooooh thanks for that!!! I will give it a go!
Hi! I love when you have your Mom on with you!! You should take her to Las Vegas!! As always, your content is amazing!! Congratulations on all the gold.
Thanks so much May!!!!
Sandra, a lapidiarist could cut a piece of turquoise to fit that bracelet. PS Give Mum my love, she is lovely!
Good to know, but sure it would worth the price tho. Cheers, thanks so much for watching!
Mom's looking great! By the end of the video she seemed ready to put you in a corner 🤣🤣🤣. I'm hoping to hit a jackpot soon. I got lucky a couple times last year, so my fingers remain crossed! Can't wait to see what else you ladies brought home!
So congrats to you on your lucky finds - that is very exciting! Thanks for watching!
A book i reference to sometimes is American Jewelry Manufacturers. Its full of hallmarks. Ill be honest i don't have to refer to it that often but it provides answers when online fails. The book has other good info too. Kinda pricey
Well, thanks so much for that, I’ll look into it!
I saw three charms, the bear and 2 cat charms that have the script M a. I believe that's for Michael Anthony and so that adds $ to the value.
Yes, and I think that was/is sold on QVC! I love that name brand! Thanks for watching and thanks for your input. Hugs.
💙💙💙your Chinese bracelet
Yeah those are great!! xoxox
Wow amazing way to go Mum she is still good at spotting gold
Yeah she’s got skills!!! Lol! Thank you so much.
even on the real the steel spring will still attract that is the spring closure
Yes.
Great gold finds Mom. Fun haul
Thanks !
Looks vintage middle eastern. I think most likely Persian Turquoise. The stone can be replaced with a tracing of the mounting can then have a slightly larger stone cut to a close fit and mounted.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Wow mom did real good😊♥️
Soooooo good!!!! 😊
The bracelets are beautiful. Great finds.
Thanks so much!!!
I have heard the gold necklace you were wondering about is called dot and dash.
What a cool name for it - yes! Thanks for the info!! xoxox
Mom is LUCKY! ❤️💋 My mom is 88!
Oh that’s great!!!! Hugs and good vibes to you and your mom!!!
@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Back at ya!😘
Hi Sandra and Mum, that pearl ring with 6 claws. I think that is real gold, but l noticed that the prongs are a little damaged and l'd bet the pearl is loose too. Often when the rings are getting old, the glue breaks down. If the pearl were to be taken out and the glue cleaned out, it can be re-glued with Araldyte (assuming you have that, its an epoxy 2 part glue). I adored the kitty cat charms/pendants. You could keep those if you are nuts about cats like me. Love from Melbourne. Xx
By the way, if you wish to sell the kitty charms, let me know how much and l could perhaps buy them for my daughter Jodie and l, only the gold though. Please let me know, l cant do auction though.
Ok Janice - reach out to me at my email iamthefunkypickle at gmail !!!!
@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Hi Sandra, having difficulty with your email address. It keeps coming up as invalid. Can you please give me the exact address, with full stops etc so l can send you my email. I have been trying different options but having no luck. Thanks, Janice.

Love the angel m
She’s is gorgeous!
Sandra love hanging with you and your mom.
Thanks so much! She’s cool!
THIS MAY WORK FOR MOM OR NOT, BUT ITAKE 2 STURDY PINS OR NEEDLES, SET THE SNARLED CHAIN ON THE TABLE, AND GENTLY SPREAD OUT THE TANGLES. WORKS EVERY TIME. YOU CAN ALSO COME BACK TO IT LATER....
Thanks Laurel!
At 11:32 that piece has a mark on that side.
Can’t read it arrrrrrghhh! Thanks for pointing it out - I didn’t even notice it before. Cheers!
you should do a video of you replacing the stones, especially the marcasites! that would be interesting to see!
Thanks Ryan - I kind of suck at it - clumsy hands haha! Thanks for watching!!!
Sandy that nesting doll is too darn cute I think you could get a lot more than 25 for it. I have nesting dolls in my eBay store right now for like 30 you should try asking $50 you can always work your way down that is too cute with The mouse and the last one adorable!
Good advice - I’ll do it! Thanks!
The rule is there is no rules....you got it girl!!! That is why i find more gold then most hunters out there. Nothing gets dismissed.
Yes there are always exceptions! Thanks for watching. Cheers.
The marcasite contains metal on kitty pin.
Oh okay, thank you and thanks for watching!
Cute Teddy
I like him too!!
That Gold Bogart at the Auction has a good strategy and it is working for him…Everyone needs to bid up on the Gold since he will still buy it at any price…But why give in to him and let him get all the deals on the Gold? At least make him pay a bit more.
Haha 😆 it’s sooooo irritating!!!! Thanks girl!
Enjoyed this video so much. Love your mom! Were you saying New England and the northeast are a good area for vintage jewelry? Or NOT a good area?
Goooood! Most of the jewelry was manufactured in Providence Rhode Island, so a lot of it is still in the area. Also, it’s one of the oldest areas of the country. Thanks a ton for watching!!
How exciting to find all that wonderful jewelry! Do you and your mother go where jewelry is listed in the yard sale ad? Do you often find jewelry and it wasn't listed?
It dependS. Sometimes I feel like the ones that advertise jewelry will be swarmed with jewelry people…. But we find it often at sales that didn’t mention it for sure. And we almost ask “do you have any jewelry”. Once in a while somebody goes into the house and pulls some out for us!!! Thanks for watching and happy hunting!
@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter You are awesome for answering! xo
Love those M CHARMS. Where will you sell those?
On my eBay page thefunkypicklestore!!! Thanks for watching.
At 15:17 I can see a mark on the back, but cannot see what it says.
Ahhh okay! I’ll take another look, thanks so much!
use a needle to untangle the thin chains.
We will try that, she was using that stick pin a bit on them. They are super delicate… thanks Samantha!
They make these long, thin, bendy needles for crafting that would be great for this as they are thin and will fit most chains bendy so you don't break anything you are working on and long so you can hold on without much trouble.
Ok great advice. I have some of those… thanks!!!
Hi Sandra could you tell me what the letters gg mean on a broach?😊
Hey Annie, I don't know, but it is likely the maker's mark. THANKS so much for watching!! xo
Sandy I have a question how would you clean this stuff? I'm always afraid I'm going to ruin it if I clean it but some of it really needs to be cleaned up before I try listing it.
The jewelry? I have a video on how to clean jewelry by the way, but I’m general - water is not your friend if the piece has stones! I lightly dampen a small paint brush and if that doesn’t work, I may go up to a small soft toothbrush. I get a bit more aggressive if needed, but tread carefully. It’s important to dry afterwards - a hair dryer on low temp works well. Hope this helps! Good luck. 🍀
@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter oh wow!! That is great!! Yes I would love to see that video!!
May I ask what auction are you talking about ?
I don’t remember - we go to many up and down the east coast. Thanks for watching tho. Hugs .
Will u be selling the gold charms
Yes. Reach out at iamthefunkypickle at gmail if you’re interested in anything. Thanks!
Where do you find garage sales
Hi, thanks for watching. I look Craig’s List online, there is a special category called Garage Sales. Cheers
size on opal ring please ty
Okay, I can't get to it right now but will try to get back to you in the next few days... Thanks!!!
14k at yard sales.omg.
I know, it doesn’t happen often - but this haul was kinda amazing! Thanks for watching.
FYI chains should be fasten so they won't tangle as bad all knots will come out no matter how fine it is. If not fasten use a flat surface and a straight pin and work the knot out most knots will come out even on fine chain if your patience
Thanks for that -- they're still tangled and I'm about 5 hours into it!!! LOL!
Omg Monet always fools us
You are right about that - it’s good stuff!
