dear Alex i know what happened to the ring, my grandfather did it to almost all of my grandmothers jewellery just before the depression to conceal there worth. apparently its an old trick that was used to keep family heirlooms safe during the war as well.
but why exactly? conceal it from whom?
@@MacetazzOpina im not sure id always assumed they meant from the government or from shady individuals who might steal them given how hard life was at the time.
During the depression it might also conceal to from debt collectors who would liquidate people's assets to cover what they owed.
Very similar to how pirates would take clay and roll a jewel in it. No one would think to take a bunch of clay blobs from a cave.
To hide from the nazi's ..
Hans is like a Guardian Angel always helping people in need
Which is why I sent him a little gift in the mail yesterday. From Scandinavia, with love.
@@TheAccidentalViking Greetings fellow Scandinavian! 😊 What did you send to the Danish Viking?
Agreed! ”Helping Hans” is such a perfect name for him.
@@LessThanThree76 A traditional needlepoint piece and a bar of my goat milk lavender soap!
@@TheAccidentalViking That was very thoughtful. He is a Canadian treasure for sure!
I had to stop using jewelry trees and hanging displays as it just makes the cats think they have a new toy.
😄
My cat does the same thing and plays with my necklaces and pushes things off
Lol
Don't be surprised if Bilbo or Gollum come in looking for their Preciousssssss
😂
@@magickmoi1261 "Pit's of Mordor..." I'm dying here!
That made me LOL!
😂
I was looking for this comment😂😂
Sheesh...Zenovia must have the secret to eternal youth! Every time I see Hans he looks younger. That's how you know you have the love of a good woman!
So glad you embraced the costume jewelry. Jewelry and glassware will bring more women to your shop.
It's beautiful, good quality looking stuff with interesting designs and the display looks lovely.
It was soooooo wonderful to see Hans again. He makes me smile every time. I think your jewelry showcase looks fabulous, well done Alex. Best wishes from a very, very hot South Africa.
Hi fellow Safrican! I'm in Cape Town. Whereabouts are you?
Hot in Sydney Australia too - we had a two day heat wave of 40degrees Celsius a week ago and more heatwaves to come.
Hi from coastal North Carolina in the USA. Our weather right now is somewhere between extreme cold Canada and extreme hot South Africa.
Hay Alex I have to said that u help Hans and he's doing good .real nice to see someone get help and staying on track biutyfull..👍👍👍👍
Our favorite Viking is looking fantastic! I love seeing him and Zinovia pop by. Such a sweet couple ♥ And the jewelry displays look terrific!
Alex finding a diamond ring is almost as good as finding a diamond ring myself. What is it about this guy that you find yourself just rooting for him to fall into amazing, valuable finds? Every time I watch a new video I'm hoping for some fantastic treasure that will help pay off the mortgage on the shop.
You have the same generous joy as my little grandson. He loves videos of people opening surprise packages of toys. He doesn't ask for the toys -- he's just delighted to see what other people find.
I know right
My guess is because he does things like gofundme for Hans, gives things to friends, and also the generosity he shows like giving the found money to Hans Zenovia. Alex you are a very good man.
After the unlawful lockdowns we all need to support and root for all our local stores or they won't be there. Its been proven fake in the fact that corporate Costco and Walmart stayed open but a tiny place cannot. Its all for the great reset for royal family and the 7 billion vaxes they bought from apijet rapidconsortium. We need more than ever to protect our neighbor
@@SherMusician I so agree with you! Not knowing your age, just going to throw this out there. I remember back with nearly every single neighborhood in the towns where I lived and had relatives in back as a child all had a small family owned and operated store. They were fixtures that everyone used all the time. For us kids it was all about the candy and getting a super cold drink from the large ice water filled drink dispensers. Walking to the store with a few coins in our grubby little hands was such an everyday thing! And many times if all anyone needed was a few items like milk, bread, or a baking ingredient or other household essential they could quickly pop in and not have to go to a freakin warehouse store. I miss the days when grocery shops were a manageable size and you knew the people that worked there. And it didn't take 4 hours and walking 10 or more miles to get what you needed for the week. I really miss what has been lost to the greedy rich chain everythings we have nowadays.
I love that Hans is a permanent fixture on the channel now. He's a treasure.
Maybe the biggest treasure you've found on this channel Alex.
Awe what a lovely comment. I couldn't agree more! A good and trusted friend is worth more than any riches.
The jewelry display looks great!Always love to see Hans and Zinovia in your videos. I hope you'll update us on the value of the men's diamond ring.
Yes please let us know what the value is! Thanks!
Yes, I was wondering why on earth someone would have put all that lead to cover all the diamonds. Just craziness. And I too am wondering what the value of it is.
You did a great job setting up the jewellery counter. It was so nice to see Hans and Zanovia and Bob. Great video as always.
Made me smile in a hurry to see those two.
Such a great find plus a mystery. That ring is lovely. Melissa must have been thrilled to have seen this collection of jewelry.
Hans is a transformed man! He's not looking so bent and stiff now and his hair is smart and his confidence has come out. Wonderful.
I was waiting for Melissa to walk in while you were baking a ring 😂 Red's walked in on me scrubbing all sorts of odd stuff in the laundry room.
My step uncle hunted for and sold antiques. His specialty was estate jewelry. I learned a lot from him and it’s still a passion of mine! Thanks for sharing!✌️😎
My mom has that frog ring. Hers is from James Avery and she got it decades ago. I used to sneak into her jewelry box and wear it! She also has a cat ring from JA where it looks like the cat is laying lazily and it's tail wraps around your finger.
I've got the frog also...it's been around since the 1970s and it's probably silver..I cast it myself as I was a jeweler for decades.
So nice having your friends at the store. Hans is such a sweetie, always happy
You can purchase Desoldering Braid Wicks that suck up the solder as you melt it - mainly used in circuit board desoldering.
That's interesting to know, though Alex may not get more soldered up rings and such like!
Came here to say this! 👍
Yep. I use that stuff near daily.
Or a good 'ol solder sucker!
I was thinking the same thing or a solder sucker. Maybe because he was holding the camera, he was doing everything one handed. He needs a go pro!
Great to see Hans again thanks for sharing Alex 💯
My daughter is a gemologist and they clean rings with a solution of water and a drop of dish soap so as to not destroy any stones. Ex opals are very porous and destroy easily. Have a great day. Take care HD stay safe. Cheers! 😊🇨🇦
Don’t underestimate yourself. You did do a perfect job on the jewelry display. I love that your friends drop by often.
That came out fabulous. Well done! Hans looks wonderful too.
What a nice find Alex! I love that bee pendant and that little frog ring was cute too. Very nice display and so nice to have help getting it all put out.
Great minds think alike! I too was stunned by the aquamarine bee and the frog ring. Gosh I sure miss the days when I could get out and go thrift shopping!
Wow, that was fun to watch. Super cute jewelry.
Hi Alex that diamond ring looks like a woman’s ring...a real find!!
I think so, too. I have one a lot like it that was my Mom’s.
My Mom had large hands and fingers. This is similar to one of my Mom's rings.
Love the little green bee! I would buy that for sure!
Love the frog ring! Great to see the gang. The store looks clean, tidy, and filled with interesting goodies.
Hans is a heck of a GREAT MAN!!!!
Alex - you are losing a lot of heat through your roof which makes the snow melt then freeze when it get to the edge. You need more insulation in the ceiling. Alternatively you could add a heating wire at the edge with a timer so you are not heating all of Edmonton ongoing. Initially I thought it was the back of the store where Josh put insulation but no vapour barrier before adding the decorative bags.
We used to install insulation, if there is no air gap, the heat transfers out to the roof, there should be air gaps at the roof edge, between the insulation, and the roof itself. They make styrofoam air vents to put in there, before the ceiling is insulated.
Possible ice dam situation.
Throw plant food up there to melt the ice dam.
Cant see Hans very well but he is looking great ...it was great to see him ....I love that guy😃
Vintage costume jewelry is very collectable! Think Monet, Coro, Trifari, Miriam Haskell, etc. As a collector, I’d advise caution when cleaning it, because it was manufactured inexpensively and can be easily damaged. (I found out the hard way!) Rhinestones should not be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner, as it can damage the older foiled stones.
Yes pearls opals and a few others shouldnt go in there. No pine sol please, no amonia, good ole dawn and water or alcohol.
Love the new jewelry display... my dtr and I specifically go to antique stores for those type of treasures. your female customers will love 💜. Gorgeous ring!
I'm so happy to see you add a jewelry counter! I love your store, but so much of what you have falls under classic "guy stuff". I know oil cans and matchbox cars and sports cards are collectible, but I'm much more likely to buy a nice bit of bling as an impulse buy. You might want to add vintage perfume to that case as well. There was a reformulation of most perfumes just a few years ago, and a lot of them don't smell like they used to. Old bottles of nice perfumes are now quite in demand by perfume lovers who want the originals.
Yes, I agree, and perhaps vintage dolls as well!
So true. Luckily I have a few vintage bottles of my favourite, Bal A Versailles, ranging from the 70s through to the late 80s. Once you get to the Genesis edition you really notice the change. I'm so glad to have come across Alex's channel. What lovely people and it's so interesting.
So needy
Learn about deco art jewelry , very collect able
This is true. I was feeling nostalgic and bought two of my long ago favorites from a perfumer online, Wind Song and Blue Grass, and they smelled nothing like I remembered.
Handy Hans.. that cracked me up 🤣🤣... Everyone needs a Handy Hans in their lives..
I'm so jealous. Vintage jewelry is my thing, especially costume rings!.
Hello C.I., Well you're a perfect example of "when work's a labor of love, it isn't work at all"!🤔👂 How sweet it is!🙏🏻 Keep up the good work and keep these vids coming!! Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏🏻😇👊
Hans is such a dependable soul.
🤜♥️🤛
My sister and I each had one of those frog rings when we were girls. Thank you for bringing that memory back for me! I always love seeing your treasure hunting adventures and your crew of family and friends!
this was a very happy and enjoyable video. You brought that beautiful ring back to life....added a full and rich jewelry display and spent the day with friends! Who is better than you?👌😎
You have a cool shop , love to visit... heaven for a vintage juwelery lover like me
Thank you so much for posting that! I metal detect and love to see the rings and costume jewelry! What did the gold ring markings turn out to be! It is just gorgeous! I can’t believe it JD all that lead on it!!! Great episode! Your display is looking good. Have a great day👍☀️🍁❄️
Hans and Zanovia ROCK!!! Loved the jewelry!
Hans is lovely... he never forgets what you made possible for him. 🥰
I need to find the videos that tell about Hans' story. I love this couple and think that they add so much to the show. I'm glad that they were helped out of whatever poverty or issues they had and are now doing so well. Such happy people too.
Hans and his wife seem like the most wonderful people! The world needs more people like them!
That's so true and so wonderful for so many people to comment. They are so precious!
I used to work with a man that at one time designed and repaired jewelry for Tiffany's in NYC. He cleaned all of the jewelry with Mr. Clean type cleansers too
Thats a wonderful thing to share.Lovely to hear about work technics
I too worked for an old world jeweller. After rouge buffing we would use sudsy amonia and water, using a toothbrush and a bar of ivory soap to scrub. Came out even better than new!
Omg you people are giving anxiety with all your harmful and shitty cleaning neveruse rough chemicals on vintage jewelry it's good to ruin it
Alex, you have hit the jackpot. All that jewelry will surely bring all the customers . I only wish I could be there to meet you and shop. Your soul is filled with so much joy it’s beautiful and incredible. ❤️ you.❤️❤️🍀🍀👍👍🌞🌞🥂🥂🌹🌹🕊🕊🙏🙏😇😇🎈🎈🎁🎁😘😘
Some of those other rings look like they have some nice semi precious stones in them as well. It all looks great. Made me want to be there to browse in person. Wish I could!
Omgoodness that ring is beautiful. So much fun watching you clean it up.
Wow. Incredible. From the blob to the "Bling"!!
Enjoyed. Nice ring you discovered under the lead. Your jewelry display is very nice!
I hope you secured your shop better so it (hopefully) can't get broken into again!
The jewelry counter looks amazing!! Great addition to the store. Can't wait for the next video.
Oh I wish I had a Hans! My house needs a new gutter on one side. Its hard to find someone who wants to do it. Luv that /frog ring! You'll do good on the jewelry Alex!!
You just keep it so nice and organized and clean. Did an excellent job .
Jewelry case looks nice Alex! I did like the frog ring you showed, cute! That was strange why they covered the diamond ring with lead but you cleaned it up nice. Good job!
Always good to see Hans, nice jewelry find in the Diamond ring ♥️
Is that frog ring still available? I broke my femur two years ago that required surgery,as a result I had to remove my ring which was identical to the one frog ring you showed. Long story short,the ring disappeared and I was heartbroken. But then you showed the frog ring and described the foot going around to make the ring itself! I was so happy to see another one! So I am going that you still have it available for purchase. It was not an expensive ring ... probably ten dollars when I purchased it At Target in 1989 or so, but I Am interested in purchasing the one you showed so if you could give me a price I may buy the one you showed. I would love for you to tell me it's available!
@@007nadineL :
Love to see your friends again. Love jewelry and what you have in the store. Fun to watch all your videos.
I love the look of the store outside! Please check out security window film before you put up bars! I would love to visit your store, but you're a long way from Florida!
That is interesting. The thing with bars on the doors, outside ones esp. is that the glass can still be broken and they just stick their hand in and turn the lock if there's not a proper deadbolt. It's a shame that anyone has to even deal with this issue. But that's life. Good thing life is limited and there's hope beyond this mortal plane. At least for many there is.
Good choice on bringing jewelry into the shop!!🤗😎🌸🌻🦋
Someone may have already posted this: Emerald, ruby, and sapphire on the Mohs scale are softer stones. If they have cracks, jewelers fill them with something to keep them intact. An ultrasonic will clean that out and return these stones to a more fragile state. For that reason, we never cleaned rings with those stones in the ultrasonic. Of course, older stones were most likely solid.
Zenobia is my sister' name too. It sounds so good when Alex and Hans call her. Hans is a guardian angel and Alex is a sweetheart. God bless you all.
The people robbing you definitely watch your TH-cam channel.
I thought the same thing when he showed the diamond ring. Praying it doesn't happen again.
I don't think he'll be leaving a ring like that in the shop,
@@elipotter369 Alex commented in an earlier post today (7 hours before your comment) that the ring has already been sold! A fast sale -- must have been real diamonds!
@@babawali3021 Yes I saw that when I read more of the comments. Good to get such a fast turn around.
And it's you, Red Foreman!
Schmear is a word. I usually hear it as a schmear of cream cheese on a bagel but it works as putting lead on a ring too lol.
It's one thing to have costume jewelry but what you have is very interesting costume jewelry and in my opinion is very important. :)
Beautiful job Alex! Looks very inviting.
Hans is genuine people . AWSOME always offers to help in time of need. He even offered to help when my apt.building caught fire. Even though I am thousands of miles away . You all are AWSOME people . 🙏🏻💖😎
The filled display case is very classy and definitely adds to the ambience of your store! ❤
Hans is a wonderful man and he's so humble and polite too but always ready to help at the drop of a hat and it's nice to see him with his lady,some of these rings are really funky and cool and I hope that you do well out of selling them Alex, hello by the way from Bridgend, south Wales, UK 😉👍
Ooo, I love the ginko leaf bowl! That’ll be great for displaying jewelry
Aloha Alex & Friends! Great score on the jewelry! I used to have a Frog ring exactly like that as a teen!
When you were finding all that jewelry I was drooling! I’m a costume jewelry lover, esp. the sparkly kind! JEALOUS! Have fun with them!
Does Melissa know you're using her oven for experiments? LOL
Awesome finds with the jewelry. 👍💍💎
Be careful with that us machine. Opals, and many other stones won’t do well in there.
And be careful of thermal shock.
Melissa's family owned a jewelry store, if I remember correctly. I would assume she knows all of this. But still kind of you to mention it, just in case.
@@ohg-67 I know I saw coral and turquoise that looked to have lost their bright color from the ultra sonic, being submerged, and the ammonia. :(
In fact I had an aunt that never took off her opal ring as it was her engagement ring. After a amazingly short time doing things for cleaning with soap, laundry and dishes plus scrubbing floors etc. She killed the stone. Ended up a dead white stone without any sparkle or depth. So sad but she refused to listen to anyone.
Opals and pearls, you have to be very conservative about how you clean them, we used dawn and a soft toothbrush to clean these rings when I worked as a buffer at the jewelry chain store in the states
Good to see your old friends in the store. 👍
The jewelry display turned out great, Alex! Hello from Michigan!
YES, finally jewelry!!!!!! Been asking, hinting, and then telling you to please get some jewelry. I think you will be surprised how well it does. Maybe even some of the kids will love for themselves or gifts, depending on price. YAY
Hans is the kind of friend everybody needs but nobody deserves
What a beautiful comment. I couldn't agree more!
Wow! Your store looks very inviting.
I bought a frog ring similar to your frog ring for my daughter. On the outside, a frog. On the inside of the ring, a prince! The message: you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince!
Don't kiss the frogs would be my motto, haha. I don't think they turn into princes in real life - mostly people go the other way - putting their best face forward at the beginning of a relationship.
Very nice display! It was nice to see Hans too!
On the gold ring the "red clay" was a jeweler's pitch. You can use acetone to remove it. Just soak the ring and it will remove it completely. Then just wash it in regular dawn dish soap and you're good to go. On your ultra sonic cleaning: never allow your jewelry to touch each other. You'll end up with minute scratches on the metal that will have to be polished out. A good at home cleaner for the ultra sonic is Simple Green that's diluted with distilled water. Use distilled water instead of tap water as it's free from minerals that may contaminate or react with different metals or stones and leave a residue. They may also be harmful to your ultrasonic over time. Nice find!
Great find, great display. Happing findings
I Thought the sheet of Pepsi cans was really cool. That would look good as a piece of pop art in a café.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX 🎂
The jewelry displays look great. I'm glad you had some help.
Has anyone mentioned that diamond can crack due to rapid heating or cooling?
I love seeing the jewelry! You are making this woman's stylish period collection famous.
Maybe Zoltar can get a better broach for his hat.
I love Hans soooooo much!
Your jewelry display looks so nice. Anxious to see the finished project.
Happy birthday for tomorrow, best of success for the auction..🎂🍪
Great display of jewelry. Amazing find regarding the diamond ring with led over clay. Job well done and your store looks great!
Another fun video!! Great way to start my day! Hey my dad had a jewelry store fo almost 50 years
We had ammonia in out ultra sonic cleaner!!! So that works too!!
Bye for now🎄🎅🏼🎁

I feel like this was a revenge stunt with the ring. Maybe a divorce - "I get the ring and I'm selling the diamonds!". "The heck you will!!".
Just a thought.
I thought someone had covered it for some emotional reason, yes. Hopefully, a long time ago and lost in time...a beautiful ring.
Or maybe someone trying to hide the diamonds, like money under a mattress. But your idea is funnier.
Given some of the bizarre divorce revenge stunts I've seen in various media, that's not a far Fetched idea.
More likely they wanted to wear the ring everyday for sentimental reasons but wanted to preserve the diamonds and not lose them. And knew the lead could be removed....
Glad I read the comments. I had no idea why someone would cover a pretty ring.
Love the Pepsi Tin, if I lived in Canada I would buy it.
You could display it on the ceiling or wall, Hans would like that!
Love the Jewelry!!!🎄🎁
Love seeing all the jewellery 🤩
Happy birthday weekend Alex! 🎉☃️🎈
Alex, you have had me binge watching for the last few days since I found your channel. Huge fan from South Africa.
