Did some sourcing today with the pawn broker. I took my advice from Brad with me. I felt completely confident. It's awesome having these new tools in my toolbox. I didn't let the guy bully me. Although had I not spoken up right away, I think he would have tried. We got a conference room at the library. Spread all of the jewelry out and I was able to go through it and pick out what I wanted. I got about 30 pounds. This is about 2/3 of it I paid about $10 a pound which I think is pretty fair considering what I got. I have paid $10 a pound from Shop Goodwill and gotten almost nothing but garbage. There was not a lot of super vintage in there but I probably got 50 nice costume rings I got a few nice vintage brooches, some screw back and about 20 pair of clip on Monet earrings but not as much Vintage as I would have liked. This lot was more contemporary but, I did get some good signed pieces, some sterling, crazy cool bone necklaces, I even found a tiny 10k antique locket in there.

I recently found this guy on Facebook, he identifies and describes the most amazing highest end jewelry. Since a lot of antique and vintage costume jewelry is modeled after ‘the’ designers, I feel like I’ve learned from watching these reels. Just be forewarned, dont start watching until you have time! The jewelry is….well you’ll see! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1215294480502945/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e&fs=e

Hello all! First post here- I picked this up thrifting and was wondering if anyone could share any information about it. No makers mark and Google Lens doesn't have a clue. Anyone seen something similar? Looks Mid-Century to me but I thought to get more experienced jewelry peeps to take a look at it. Any info is appreciated. Ty
