When she mentioned that it had been to her 3rd grade show and tell class...then her fantastic laugh!!!
LOVE that moment!!!
I love her response when it gets appraised: "What a treasure. What a treasure".
It is worth at least $500k. This bracelet is still in production and this one is one of the originals. Verdura is still in business. Either they or Chanel Inc would pay big money to have this in their archives.
Best I can do is 20 bucks.
Well it is like that Patek Philippe pocket watch that is 1 of 1 and it sold for over $1.5 million and is in their museum now. It was appraised at $250,000 and just blew right past the estimated price.
o look another "expert". Where is your antique shop I want to sell you some antiques based on your expert evauation
Close, sold last month for $432,000
What a generous Aunt Helen Hayes was to her niece and her family. She really sounded like a loving and kind lady.
This is a beautiful moment that you've captured on tape. The connections between people are beautiful, as are the connections between present and past. Thank you for playing the role of historian, and following the path which this beautiful object might have taken to wind up on your table.
No tapes anymore, it all goes to that cloud thingy.
cash in and go on holiday. not a great looking piece
I wish the back of the bracelet and the clasp could’ve been shown. Her vintage pieces are, in fact, very rare, but I still look around when I’m out at estate sales, yard sales, antique stores, online, etc… “Hope springs eternal in the human breast.” Right? It was amazing to see this clip. Thank you!
I would have liked to see the back of the piece also……
I saw in the news today that a lady in texas bought a busto from the roman era in a goodwill. So yeah, keep looking! 😁
I would love to see what else Aunt Helen had tucked in her top drawer.
I would never sell it but someday pass it on along with the history. I love watching Helen Hayes movies and to know that she is in your family is wonderful.
She sold it at auction last month for $432,000
Loved Helen Hayes! What a great story!
Story time.
Years ago I heard a story about when they met at a gala. Young Charlie was a lowly vaudeville performer or something and she was already a big star.
He introduced himself and asked her to hold out her palm, into which he placed a handful of peanuts.
"I wish these were emeralds." He told her.
Years passed, and it was on one of their big anniversaries (I don't recall which), he took her out to dinner and asked her once again to hold out her palm, into which he placed a pile of emeralds.
"I wish these were peanuts!"
Hands down the most romantic story I've ever heard!
Thank you. Great story and fits so well with this piece. There was also something very special happening as the appraisal was delivered and the excitement built. Then combined with the owners heartfelt reaction and pride, like your story it was all about love and not the monetary value.
That story makes zero sense. He could afford rooms full of peanuts. Stop making up lies.
@GiantsWS2014
OMG, how angry you must be. I feel sorry for your friends and family, having to tolerate you and your negative attitude. Seek counseling for their sake at least.
@@GiantsWS If you're trolling really good job but no way you are lol, when he says "I wish these were peanuts" on his anniversary, he is saying he wishes he could go back to that first time he met her while at the same time fulfilling what he originally said.
So beautiful. Hopefully she keeps it in her family.
Thank You for sharing. Good for her. ENJOY
Wow! This is really Iconic and I wouldn’t sell it either! I own a cross with a some jewels in but probably just glass… oh well! i Love the History of all this !
The "just glass" one sold for 100k so......
The fact the just the costume jewelry one can, with the right cercumstances, go for so much is amazing.
Love the show-and-tell anecdote
Could easily go to $200K in my view. All real stones. Good history on it. Pleasing to the eye.
The sky is the limit the way I look at it. All that stuff going for it.
Appraisers in general tend toward conservative estimates. Better a client be pleasantly surprised than bitterly disappointed.
I find it quite ugly, but that’s only me 😂
@@voutoo7899 I think it's really ugly too! Beautiful history n' all that, but clunky, gaudy, it does look really fake and "costum-y" and like it would hurt your wrist wearing it.
@@Bulucanagria the expert lady did mention that the one that was nowhere near as good was estimated between 30-35K (iirc) and sold for a hundred grand so if she followed similar logic could be a half a million!
A really interesting piece.
It’s very beautiful.
Helen Hayes and husband Charlie MacArthur adopted James MacArthur...aka Dan-O from Hawaii 5-0.
Beautiful piece!!! Thank you for sharing it!!!
What a beautiful piece of jewelry!
I wish we had been able to see the back, and how it unhinged. Lovely piece. Thank you
Love this, love Helen Hayes!
Beautiful cuff!! Different..
Just...wow!
I am covered in goosebumps!
That’s an amazing piece. I’d keep it
Trouble is ;
When would you wear it ?
(Consider the insurance...)😳
I love all the history that this authenticator shared.
When she said it was all real stones I got goosebumps 😮
Sameeee I heard play jewelry and thought that was to my God
I got goosebumps by just glancing at your avatar.
Verdura = The Real Deal, Theodore.
Like Tiffany's.
JAR.
Cartier.
Boucheron.
Bvlgari....
💎💎💎💎💎💎🤗
HOLY WOW! That is amazing! Lucky Lady!
Just wow.....no words!
Priceless
Just Fantastic !!
A very cool and special piece. Holy cow!
So much for that friend of hers who said the stones were fake and that they'd give her $1,000 for it! 😬🤨
She did talk about it quickly but it was a friend who thought they were fake and then a different friend she showed a picture of it to who said they thought the stones were real and they'd give $1,000. Good thing she didn't sell it that's for sure.
Could've been a possible scammer. So if things go bad for her. She a $100,000 to $150,000 safety net.
The friend said they were real
Those “friends “ are plentiful in the general population. Truly a woman with a good heart for keeping the treasured memories for the next generation.
Even more amazing is that wig on the appraiser's head 😮
Congrats, Annie! That's awesome!
😊
Love it.. So beautiful and talk about scarcity.. Your odds of finding another is hen's teeth..😜
So glad Laura styled her hair.⭐️👍
Rick from Pawn Stars offered $150.
In all fairness, they would be taking all the risk.
And that's after he had a friend down the street that knows all about it
Well he had to frame it...
🤣🤣🤣....lol
Lol
SIMPLY DIVINE
What a wonderful reaction 🙏magical
WOW
Oh yes i belive zäthis is on of your favourit Things in the Roadshow. Very nice 😯
One can only hope the story doesn't end at the ending of this clip.
A near identical one is in the Verdura Museum Collection.
Lovely story.
Wow that’s awesome!
Wow!!! So cool
her reaction @5:00 is so underwhelming, lol. LOVE IT. I would be bonkers and over the top.
all tine fav good video
wow!
I cried when I first saw this when I started realizing what it was. What an amazing thing.
I gasped when she said it was all real jewels!🙀
The woman doing the estimate is visibly shaking lol, I would be too.
❤
Rare✨
“What a treasure” straight to auction
Really interesting!!!, I love jewelry and mix real w/ costume, smart gal that Coco Channel.
Appraiser is hot!!!
this is a place to come share something about history.
Wow.
Smile 😃
I want it..
her hand was shaking a lot when she was using the pointer. i knew the number was going to be special before that, but when i saw that pointer bobbing all over the place i knew this was something she'd never even seen before.
I ADORE PBS for including the subtitle “Coco Chanel: Designer and Nazi Agent”
Coco Chanel was a Nazi agent??? That's the first time I've ever heard of that!!! Such an iconic piece of jewelry and I loved Helen Hayes!!!
You can read the full article here: www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/stories/articles/2022/1/3/coco-chanel-fashion-designer-and-nazi-informant
Quite famously a Nazi agent!
@Abc 123 i thought that was hugo boss?
@@Alternate_Ending yep, Hugo Boss did as well, as well as Adi Dasler (Adidas) designing the boots for Nazi soldiers.
@Abc 123 That is not true, Lagerfeld wasn’t even born when the SS uniform was already being worn
Totally under estimated. I could see someone paying $250,000 for it of its that rare. I would sell it. Lol
It sold at auction last month for $432,300
Remember Rosie O’Donnell had bought Helen & Charlie’s Hudson River estate. Pretty Penny
Absolutely beautiful!! Fortunate woman to have this passed on to her.
Wish the experts would handle the treasures. They do in the UK, so you get to see the whole piece front & back. Also shows how things work ie opens/ closes.
SELL IT!
The expert/appraiser is such a babe, I watched it twice.
The person who wanted to buy it for a grand knew its real value. Thank Gód she did not sell it.
Yes, 100% did
Omg
Sold December 4 2023 at Bonhams for $432,300 including buyers premium
Who offered you $1000?
I believe his name was Rick....
I know the story about wishing the peanuts were emeralds. So as soon as she said Charlie gave it to Helen, I knew they were real emeralds.
It sold at auction for $432,300 in December 2023
It’s got a randomish placing of the stones, like the little square red stone which doesn’t have a stone to mirror it on the other side
And?
Look up Paloma Picasso’s asymmetric jewellery.
😮
There is a picture of Coco Chanel on the internet. In it she is wearing a piece that looks similar to this one. The picture is black and white and a bit fuzzy, but the piece looks very similar.
more likely half-a-million!
Dang, everyone KNEW everyone in 20's-70's
Helen Hayes wasn't just anyone...she was the greatest broadway actress of her time ..she had not one but two broadway theatres named after her and yes.."everyone" knew her
SOLD IN DEC 2022 FOR $432,300 AT AUCTION
What is it that for? I hadn't never see before, but what a beautiful designed!! By the way, congratulations!!
It’s a bracelet
I wonder if Helen Hayes wore that bracelet in the Love Bug?
Update for anyone interested, it sold for 1.1 million 👍
It sold last month for $432,300
Purple diamonds look again.
It'd be really cool if she brought it back to her third graders and told this story and inspired them maybe to be jewelry makers in one day
How did you not know what that was? It's iconic.
Faaaarrrkkk 👌👌👌👌
I know she said conservative estimate but there's no way that thing isn't 500 000 - 1 200 000. The stones are real and the multiplier on fake stone to real isn't .5. Plus celeb provenance, there's no way,
Omfg so lucky
was it a reward that was given to you?
Hearing mhm so many times gave me restless leg syndrome…. Cool piece nonetheless.
Oh you can get at least 300k for that piece with the right seller.
If I found out it was worth 125k I would lose my s**t right there. I would be screaming. I don’t know how she kept it together.
Beautiful. I’d go smack that fraudster who offered her $1,000 for it.
Sneaker resellers…is it used? Best I can do is store credit
So many grifters out there trying to take things from people.
