Just got this in the mail today ❤️ OMG it’s huge! looking forward to learning all about costume jewelry Thank you @Melinda Lewis

Hi Everyone, Can anyone identify this necklace? I also got the bracelet with it. Google Lens is no help. Appreciate the help. Thanks!

Well, half rant, half advice. Plain and simply put, I'm tired of watching new people or less knowledgeable jewelry people eat shit sandwiches from experienced individuals in this industry. It's just jewelry. It's not a secret recipe. It's not saving anyone's life, and it certainly doesn't make you better than the next guy/gal. Just be kind. Yes, you studied for 30 years, congratulations. I hope I'm not like you when I reach the same point. If jewelry makes you feel poorly toward other people or makes you want to be negative, then maybe you should consider a different hobby until you're ready to act like a respectable/respectful person. XO, Brad

You're at an estate sale and both brooches are gorgeous, colorful, statement pieces and they are both $40. One is Joan Rivers and the other is Heidi Daus. Which one are you buying and why? Both is an acceptable answer but it is a cop-out 😂

Which has better resale? You're shoulder to shoulder with another jewelry picker at a packed estate sale jewelry showcase, which one are you snagging with only a half second to decide?! Edit: there is a DEFINITE right choice ✅
