I support my family by reselling things I can flip from the Goodwill Outlet Bins, garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores, Goodwill online, ThredUp rescue boxes on Ebay and Etsy. I like to do unboxings of jewelry jars, thredup reject boxes, jewelry hauls from places like shopgoodwill, online auctions, ebay, and more! Garage sale, thrift shop, and estate sale hauls of vintage items, jewelry jars, and jewelry are always fun too!

Great to see you doing what you know best – jewellery!!!! Hi Margaret from Australia.
I’m not even finished with this video yet and had to pause it, hit the like and subscribe!! 🙂 lol. What a wonderful video and resources you’re sharing! Thanks so much because this is exactly what I needed to help me identify some stones in some vintage estate jewelry I recently acquired at an online auction. I am going to list them for sale but wanted to do my research first so that I can be as accurate as possible when describing the items. Truly, I’m really thankful you are sharing your knowledge with those of us still learning. :). Blessings to You, Dear One! 🙂
I’ve heard Ruby Sapphire, that Sapphires can be red too. So, now what?
I put out all the money for Presidium but it’s a lot harder than I thought to really know what’s what. Bit this video really helps. Most of your vids do. Thank you girl!!
I’ll keep researching. But honestly, I need to get selling!! Hard to do until you know what you have. Ugh.
At 8:00 on the video you test a blue stone that doesn’t make the needle move on the Presidium. That usually means that the stone is a colored CZ. CZs don’t have any internal flaws and are very pretty and often set in silver and sometimes gold. One the size you were testing would cost the manufacturer less than a dollar, so they’re very commonly used. A Presidium doesn’t test for CZ but does test for zircon, which is a gemstone that was you see in antique jewelry but don’t see much today because it doesn’t hold up to everyday wear very well and is a little pricey.
G’day from Australia. Just watched your awesome video. Thankyou. I am not a "Gal", can I still refer a piece to your group if I get stumped? Thankyou.
Thank you for this video, and all the info you give.
are the detectors for metals and gem stones really worth it? I mean I have found them for big ranges of price. do I need to buy an expensive one to be sure of a good reading or are there ones that are more price friendly?😅
Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like to use my torch on whatever it is I’m curious about. It always ruins it but it’s fun. Fire is fun. Also using a hammer can be fun too.
I have a red hard stone how to know if it’s a precious stone home remedy plss
Very informative!
Thank you!
Hi. If the stone is chip could it be real, or how can you tell if if worth something. Greetings from Mexico City, let me know
I got blue stone at my home how can I identify it. if it’s true gemstone or not??
This is a wonderful video I just bought a beautiful stone necklace at Salvation Army it was 14.99 got it half off it is a real stone necklace as well has many green Chalcedony and other pretty stones …
I have a blue and green ‘black opal’ which I believe was created in a lab. I got it as a teenager on a trip to Alaska. The reason I think it’s from a lab is because it has lines or layers in it. Opals from the ground don’t have that.
Wah a good lesson for learning
A lab created emerald will be clear, a natural emerald will have a “garden” of inclusions.
How do you know if it’s fake
2:42 it’s just a lapis lazuli
Thank you so much this really help me descover how to break down my invetegation on my stones. A==
Can you identify my stones is it fake or real gemstones
Also, in Jet, can we still see wood grain?
The world of gemstones is so confusing. Where do you recommend going to purchase estate auctions? It’s hard to find a reputable one. I love this video and found it so informative. I wish I had found you earlier! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful knowledge with everyone!
can tourmaline look like carnelian stone? i got a ring that the guy who sold it to me swears is tourmaline stone, but it really looks more like a dark brownish carnelian
Ty! Helpful.
Very, very helpful.
This was very helpful! Thank You! I have been dabbling in making all sorts of different jewelry over the last 20+ years and recently just want to stick to natural stones, just as a personal preference. I am OVERWHELMED trying to purchase affordable stones that are also unique on Etsy for the most part. I feel like I’m getting scammed the whole time to be honest! But man some are so pretty I almost don’t care! The problem with that is I still want to know what I’m working with ESPECIALLY if I’m going to gift it to someone. I’ve also considered selling here and there at fairs and absolutely don’t want to overprice something fake even though I paid more for it. I take pride in my work no matter how small and I surely won’t gift or sell something I know nothing about. Anyway, I appreciate the video and resources you shared, thanks again❣️☮️💟
what kind of stone is these
I have rare necklace and earrings with opal gems made by hand in Mexico 1900
You’re simply awesome 👏 I’m a gem lover thanks for sharing your knowledge with us it was very informative video
Wow! Thank you, this was an awesome video!
Love your video & the knowledge you share. Thank you 🙏!
Hi what does it mean if no light goes threw it??? Fake?
What are the good sites to sign up to to coordinate listings on several sites, e.g, ebay, etsy,, etc.
Wah a good lesson for learning
Thank you
Thank you
Most informative site yet Thank you.
Thank you so much. I needed to see this.
Very helpful as a starter to identifying whatever it may me. Thanks
boring go direct
I love this. I do somewhat the same thing. Mostly gold. I recently came across an 18k necklace and pendant. The pendant has a stone that is either Amber or Citrine. It’s a gorgeous piece. Would love your opinion if that’s an option? I liked and subscribed BTW. 😆🤣😂
Hi mam good morning pls let me how can contacting you thanks take care mam
For your information, Emerald is not a precious stone, it’s a semi-precious stone that falls in the beryl family.
Where does Mother of Pearl fit in the overall scheme of things? I have a large, carved flower necklace of what looks like M of P and I’d really like to know more about it. It looks like it’s from the 40s or 50s. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
Thanks!
thank you for being so concise and informative! it’s crazy-making when someone has “coveted” information they’re sharing and they teach in a lengthy, drawn-out, scavenger hunt kinda way! Thanks for those links too, that will for sure come in handy! You’re beautiful! Don’t forget to water yourself and your plants!
Very helpful. Thank you.
You rock gal
So good
