Hi! I just found you,this morning! Im in sask 🇨🇦! Your videos are great! Your very informative,direct and to the point! Your faster then most who,take 3mins per item and also make you wait until they untangle jewelry! People loose interest and get frustrated,yet there throwing the prices quickly!!and forget or never mention makers marks and quess the stones! One lady says,every stone is an agate....everyone,blue green etc!! Your great kiddo! Be proud you have earned it!!take care!
Thank you so much!! 💗 I heavily edit out the dead air as much as possible. This day and age people want videos that get to the point. I sooo appreciate you watching my channel! 😊
I'm new to your channel, I watch for hours so interesting. you love all things jewelry... I'll see junk and you'll see possiblity! Thanks for sharing, I'll keep watching.. hope I see that special piece.🧚
The ring has an amber colored glass,marqee shape. Its a very pretty ring w some filligree also. You have a good eye for jewelry,your very attentive.you also have good taste kiddo!!
It’s really quite relaxing watching you go through the jewelry and explain things. You put a lot aside for crafts and I’m trying to imagine the types of crafts…There sure is a goldmine of beautiful treasure to work from!
Thank you, many people make jewelry art, new jewelry creations with assembled parts, and lots of other things with the crafts jewelry. Some of it is quite beautiful! So many treasures! :)
I do the same thing at my work that you do, i had found a bracelet & Earring(single) with Queen Nefertiti on them, always like seeing things like that@@AliBorealis
My best finds in these bulk boxes were a pair of 18Kt yellow gold earrings coming in at over an ounce of gold, an art deco gold ring with a 1 ct diamond, an art deco emerald cut 7 ct. green spinel with 4 flanking diamonds totaling 1 ct and a gorgeous sterling and abalone inlay bib necklace, earrings and cuff and 5 rings in 14K gold with mabe pearl, amethyst, a small ruby with tiny diamonds and lapis. I sold it all for about $4000. I love bulk boxes.
Thank you! Never thought about it being a souvenir piece, makes total sense though now that you say it. I appreciate the information, always learning. 😊 thanks for watching. 💗
About that large Blue Rings Necklace, that is an 80's or 90's style cant remember exactly. But you can see it being worn on the Runway this year. It is back in style
Would you consider doing a video on how to initially clean jewelry pieces? Also, could you brooch the subject of verdigris. I 've heard it can be cleaned off. But, you prefer to throw those pieces out.
I've thought about doing some cleaning videos. Verdigris can be hard to clean as it has eroded the metal. I really only clean verdigris pieces if they're collectable. Thank you, I appreciate you watching my channel. 😊💖
Regarding Avon-the company DID sell Sterling Silver and 10k/14k gold jewelry with semiprecious stones around 2010. I own on 14k necklace and a sterling silver ring with a ruby stone. Over the past several years i have found some of the sterling pieces i wanted but could not afford at the time. If you think it may be genuine, your hunch may be right! Do not disregard it just because of the brand!! Test it!!!
@AliBorealis yes, I believe it was for an Anniversary of some kind. I can't remember the number bit they've been around for over 100 years and this jewelry was commemorating that. I bought a piece of the sterling with my, and both my daughter's initials. They each had a diamond on the charm with the initial. That was 15 plus years ago and they look brand new. I bought my mom a 10k gold necklace at the same time. She still has it. They're hard to find but it's worth testing a piece if you think what you are feeling may be genuine.
Hi Ali! Some nice finds! I love the scarab bracelet, the costume rings and the brooches! Congrats on the 14K! I caved again and I bought two boxes last week. Hope you have a great day and a wonderful week ahead! 💕💕💕
Hiii friend! This box was really good! Have you heard about the newest box sourcing site through American’s Thrift Supply? 10 lb box is only $59.99! I have one on the way. Fingers crossed! Hope you’re having an amazing summer. 😊💗💗💗
@@AliBorealis Hello my friend! I have heard of the box from Kristen D. but I haven't tried it yet. Oooooh....i am crossing my fingers and toes for you to find some treasures...I can't wait to see what you get. Summer has been good...the oppressive heat in NYC has been bearable so far. Hope you are enjoying the summer as well! 💕💕💕
Hiii! Some boxes and pretty spectacular and others I hardly break even! I find if I bid on boxes in an auction style, I can at least judge a bit what's in them. This particular box was a blind box, so I had no idea what I was getting. Fortunately, the gold heart earrings made it worthwhile! I appreciate you watching my video! 😊💞
Be careful with that 18 k testing sterling, it gives false positives. Took mine to my jeweler and they showed me why we should not be using the 18 kt. Different compositions. White stones are good for sterling.
Thank you for the information. From what I've been hearing, with recently ordered acid kits the 18K is no longer reacting with sterling. So I may just need to figure out how to read the sterling acid. What do you mean about the white stones? Thank you for watching! 😊💖
@@AliBorealis hi. So funny you should comment as today I spent a good 2 hours trying to figure out how I could test sterling. I am so confused. A lot of people use 18 kt (as did I) but now I’m afraid to sell jewelry. I may just list marked jewelry with a subtext in description that I do not test metals . It’s too stressful. The white stones come with come testing kits, just white instead of black. The stone we scratch the jewelry on. Also I learned that a lot of people scratch on sterling and drop the acid right there on the piece (bottom of silver platters and such). It’s just way too much for me to think about. I have no plans, or enough talent, to do the videos you do. You’re really good! My favorite part is opening the boxes. No TH-cam channel, I work a lot. Love learning about the jewelry now, still don’t wear a lot :) Idk. I think there’s a lot more to it, years of study, which you may have; for me, I’ve been selling stuff only since 2011 for extra take out money :)
@@stephver cool, I'll have to look at the white stones, I've never seen them before. Oh my, dropping the acid directly on the piece could ruin it! You're so sweet! I love doing the unboxings, it's just hard to find good boxes lately! All the best to you. 😊💖
Yes, but shipping would be expensive because I'd need to insure the package. If you're interested, could you please e-mail me at aliborealischannel@gmail.com, and we can talk more. Thanks so much!
Hi, for the most part, no. There are a few places where you can order directly (like South Florida), but most of their stuff is not very good at all! Thank you so much for watching my channel! :)
It's for charity. When I've found a bargain at a charity shop ( like my leather Mulberry purse) I always donate extra. It upsets me that people often donate something valuable but it gets sold iff cheap because the assistants don't know the value. My mum used to manage a charity shop but she wouid research and get valuations from local jewellers and antique shops. Often they would offer to buy at far more than she could ever have charged in the shop.
@@Truth1561 hmm, thanks for the perspective, I’ve never thought of it in terms of regardless of what I get, it’s a charity donation! I appreciate you watching. 😊
Oh my, I’m so sorry! My channel hasn’t monetized just yet, so I have no idea what ads You Tube is layering in there! Soon though. I appreciate you watching what you did. 😊
Yep that's why I kinda wanted to tell you..maybe you can go back and watch that one and see if it does it to you because it would do 2 adds almost every time unless it did I wasn't looking at the moment..love your channel..we gotta watch em that's 4 sure.
They are turquoise,is imitación I know like i tall you but my is broke i like to by you how much you for yours, i don't knows how work,the i mail But i can't paid Whis my credit card tell me if is ok
No, I don't throw any of it away. I keep some for my own crafts, and resell bulk lots of crafts to others who want it. Thank you, I appreciate you watching my channel!! 😊💖

I like the way you look at the pieces, test for metals and stones, also look for marks🥰your finishing horse cracks me up🤣
Thank you! I appreciate you watching! I pulled that horse out of my first video jar. He’s become my signature ending. 😂 💖
Using a magnet to test metals frist then acid test saves on testing...🤗🥰 Nice box
Thanks for watching! A magnet stick is next on my list to buy, would be so helpful. 😊
I am enjoying your videos,so informative....I’m a lover of junk jewellery,from an enthusiast in the U.K. x

They were available last Sunday but I passed. lol. I have too much to list 🤗
Might want to get ring sizer and measuring tape, people like to know drop length and bracelets,?also ring sizes🥰
