Estate Sale Adventures

I went to an estate sale yesterday of a woman who was selling her things and moving away to stay with her family. I originally assumed that estate sale = someone died and there is no one to give the things to so they chose to sell them. This was not the case I quickly learned 😂.

Anyway, I gotten there as they were putting things out again as it was raining earlier. My aim was to go there to buy some jewelry for my Jazz Lawn Party I'm going to in August, but became fascinated with a flood of items they've had from the 1800s, 1918, 1920s,30s,40s,50s 60s and more.

Ultimately, I came across some of the owner's costume jewelry and found some items that could fit me the woman was very small. She was kind and threw in the pearl bracelet for free and gave me 4 bracelets for a dollar. The clip on earrings were 2 dollars and the coral necklace was around 2 or 3 ? Total I paid less than $10 for all the jewelry.

The most "expensive" was the leather black purse at $20, I'll have to get the strap repaired but the bag was good condition otherwise. So I only spent about $25. Though it was almost more because I spotted a mother of pearl mirror for $30 but the base was broken so I passed on it.

-------------------- The Goods ------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coral Sprig Necklace

I'm still trying to dig and research if this is real natural coral but the clasp is giving me vintage since it's a safety clasp with a filigree design. I love the color and style and can't wait to style it with some summer fits ❤️

Bracelets

I got lucky with the bracelets. The pearl one and the red leather one is my fave. I'm still trying to date the pearl bracelet, it's a safety clasp and the pearls I believe are faux. I did find a near exact replica at kohls only thing is it was missing the gold separated bars. It's style title is "1928 Gold Tone Double Strand Simulated Pearl Bracelet". I think I could wear it with my outfit for august. *update 1928 is the name of the company*

The red leather bracelet is my fave (red is favorite color) even though I've taken a liking to pink over the last few years. I like the gold tone on the opposite side and how it closes. I don't know what era it is but thats okay. I love it. I'll have fun with that one for sure.

The two-tone silverish bracelet is cute, I'm not sure about the origins either. It gives me david yurman's distant cousin (not literally) or a dupe but I like it so that's fine. I'll find some things to wear it with.

The last two are so so with the big brownish one being more workable for a earthy gurl fit the last one too.

The Bag

The bag isn't branded but I saw it on a table under some other bags. Out of all of them this one was worth it most. It'll need some TLC but the era its giving is 60's ? Not sure but would love some feedback if anyone knows what year this bag was made. Other than that, Im looking forward to fixing her, cleaning her up and wearing her out.

10 Things About Jewelry Every Jewelry Connoisseur Should Know

For the discerning jewelry connoisseur, the world of jewelry is more than just a collection of pretty trinkets; it's a rich tapestry of history, craftsmanship, and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. So, whether you're a seasoned collector or a budding jewelry enthusiast, here are ten intriguing insights that every jewelry aficionado should know.

Diamonds Are Not Always Forever Contrary to popular belief, diamonds are not indestructible. While they may be the hardest substance on Earth, they can still chip, scratch, or even fracture if subjected to extreme pressure or impact. So, treat your diamonds with care and avoid wearing them while engaging in vigorous activities like rock climbing or boxing – unless, of course, you want to add some battle scars to your bling.

The Four Cs Rule Supreme When it comes to diamonds, the Four Cs – cut, color, clarity, and carat weight – reign supreme. These criteria determine the quality and value of a diamond, so it's essential to familiarize yourself with them before making a purchase. Remember, a diamond's brilliance and sparkle depend not only on its size but also on how well it's cut, so don't skimp on the cut quality. Moreover, the Four C's of a diamond can come in handy when you have to visit a pawnshop in Jacksonville, FL, or anywhere around the world, for that matter. Once you know the 4Cs and what value they add to your piece of jewelry, you can tell if the price offered by the pawnshop is appropriate.

Vintage is Vogue Vintage jewelry isn't just a blast from the past; it's a timeless expression of style and elegance. From Art Deco dazzlers to Victorian treasures, vintage pieces offer a unique blend of craftsmanship, history, and character that you won't find in contemporary designs. So, scour flea markets, antique shops, and estate sales for hidden gems that tell a story and make a statement. May it be a Cuban link chain from the 70s or tennis bracelets from 1978, always be on the lookout for vintage pieces or pieces lined with a bit of vintage.

It's All About the Setting The setting of a piece of jewelry can make or break its overall appeal. Whether it's a classic prong setting, a bezel setting, or a more avant-garde tension setting, the way a gemstone is mounted can significantly impact its beauty and durability. So, pay attention to the setting and choose one that complements the stone while providing adequate protection and security. Since we are discussing security, it is essential to get regular jewelry appraisals to keep the current value of jewelry pieces in check occasionally.

Gemstones Have Meanings Gemstones aren't just pretty rocks; they're imbued with meaning, symbolism, and mystical properties. From the fiery passion of rubies to the serene tranquility of sapphires, each gemstone carries its own unique energy and significance. So, whether you're drawn to the calming aura of aquamarine or the fiery intensity of garnet, choose gemstones that resonate with your personality and intentions.

Signature Styles Speak Volumes Every jewelry designer has a signature style that sets them apart from the rest. Whether it's Tiffany's timeless elegance, Cartier's understated luxury, or David Yurman's modern sophistication, a designer's signature style speaks volumes about their aesthetic sensibilities and creative vision. So, explore different designers and find one whose style resonates with your own. You can also handpick a custom design jeweler if you wish to experiment with styles that are far from what people around you are wearing. At Hemming Jewelers, you can find a variety of styles that are unique to our brand. Furthermore, a custom jewelry piece ensures that no two likes exist in the same world.

The Devil's in the Details When it comes to fine jewelry, the devil is indeed in the details. From the intricate filigree work of a vintage brooch to the delicate milgrain detailing of an Art Nouveau ring, it's often the smallest details that elevate a piece from ordinary to extraordinary. So, take the time to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into creating each masterpiece.

Less Can Be More In the world of jewelry, less can often be more. Instead of piling on every piece you own, opt for a more minimalist approach and let one statement piece take center stage. Whether it's a bold cocktail ring, a sleek cuff bracelet, or a dazzling pair of chandelier earrings, sometimes all you need is one standout piece to make a lasting impression.

Personalization is Key Customizing your jewelry allows you to create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your personality, style, and sentimentality. Whether it's engraving a special message, incorporating birthstones or initials, or designing a bespoke piece from scratch, personalized jewelry adds an extra layer of meaning and significance that can't be replicated.

Confidence is the Best Accessory At the end of the day, the most important thing to remember is that confidence is the best accessory you can wear. Whether you're donning a dazzling diamond necklace or a simple string of pearls, wear it with pride and poise, knowing that true beauty comes from within. After all, nothing sparkles brighter than a confident smile and a twinkle in the eye.

So, there you have it—10 sparkling insights to elevate your jewelry knowledge and appreciation to new heights. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a budding enthusiast, you can live your dreams at Hemmings Jewelers. From our excellent collection of hip-hop jewelry in Florida to our bridal assemblage, we have all the right pieces to make the jewelry enthusiast yearn for more.

5 Helpful Tips for Selling Your Jewelry Online

Jewelry is often the most valuable type of item in an individual or family’s estate, and selling these beautiful baubles online can become a nice financial reward for those who do it right. These tips from EBTH will help make your efforts to sell your jewelry online as easy and successful as possible.

1. Choose Wisely 

Choose jewelry that has an active market and that isn’t representative of past trends that haven’t made their way to vintage or retro status yet. Jewelry that can stand the test of time will have the broadest appeal and the best chance of selling.

Along the same lines, it’s best to avoid listing fashion or costume jewelry that isn’t made with precious metals or gemstones. There are some exceptions to this, like original Bakelite jewelry from the 1960s, but in general, you’ll get the best mileage out of jewelry sales if you focus on fine jewelry made with authentic precious gems and metals.

2. Clean It Up

Once you’ve selected which pieces you want to sell, help them put their best faces forward with a refreshing cleanse. No matter how new or old each item is, have your jewelry professionally cleaned before it’s listed for sale online. Cleaning will bring out the maximum sparkle in metal and gemstones, which can set you up for success in getting great photographs a later on.

Even jewelry that’s never been worn and has been sitting in its original box for just a few months may benefit from a polish and clean. It’s especially important to clean jewelry that’s worn frequently. You may not even notice how much your jewelry can benefit from a cleaning until after the process is complete. Tarnish accumulated oils from the skin, dust, and other detritus can build up subtly over time and make jewelry look dull and dingy. Hiring a professional to clean your pieces will ensure the best-possible results and minimize any chance of damage so you can retain your jewelry’s value before the sale.

3. Tell Its Story

Knowing the backstory of your jewelry can be important, and that doesn’t necessarily mean knowing its exact lineage or history. While those details can add interest to a listing—and many collectors intentionally seek out pieces with colorful backstories—it’s also important to know what the jewelry is made of. For example, describing a ring as an 18-karat white gold and watermelon tourmaline ring is better than saying the ring is made from silver-colored metal and a pink-and-green stone. Evaluation by a certified gemologist may be necessary to allow for the most accurate listing possible.

Jewelry from famous fashion houses or designers also has a story to tell—one that will attract attention  from collectors and buyers with a desire for brand-name quality. If your jewelry  and watches are made by a luxury brand  like Tiffany, Cartier, Chopard, David Yurman, or Rolex, your online listing can emphasize this to attract more interest from  brand-specific collectors. Knowing the brand can also help identify information like the year of manufacture and  the name of the specific designer, all of which help flesh out a jewelry listing and make the piece more attractive to collectors.

4. Group It Together

Jewelry that is part of a set should always be listed together. For example, a wedding ring set will likely sell for a higher price than listing each ring separately.

Jewelry that is lower in value sold in a lot can also fetch a higher value  for items that are sold on their own. Sterling silver bracelets with semiprecious stones like turquoise, for example, can do better as a group than individually. Remember that online buyers pay attention to fair market value, and jewelry sold in lots can be a great way for buyers to feel like they’re getting more for their money.

5. Showcase Your Jewelry in the Best Light

Estate jewelry sells best when given a chance to shine on its own. That means photographing the jewelry on a neutral background rather than displaying it on a model. The clothing a model wears or even his or her hairstyle and makeup can change the way a shopper interprets the piece. Some buyers may decide a piece it doesn’t suit them based on how it looks on the model. Even when well-photographed, modeled jewelry photos that crop out or obscure parts of the jewelry, isn’t ideal.

It can be tempting to present jewelry in a complex vignette to enhance the look of the pieces, but this can also distract from the jewelry’s natural beauty. Flowers, rocks, elaborate jewelry boxes, and other elements can compete with the piece and distract the buyer’s attention. You won’t need  bells and whistles in the photo to attract discerning buyers. All you need is a simple presentation that showcases the color and form of the jewelry with ample lighting and a plain background to help it leap off the page.

If this process seems a bit complicated, Everything But The House can help. With a full-service approach to estate sales, EBTH will professionally  photograph and list your jewelry looking its best on an  innovative online auction platform to attract maximum notice from buyers around the globe.

Residents at Venetian Islands co-op allegedly burglarized by front desk attendant, want management company to pay

3 Island Avenue in Miami Beach (Credit: Zillow, MLS)

At least two residents of a Venetian Islands co-op were allegedly burglarized by a front desk attendant and are seeking reimbursement from the building’s former management company, The Real Deal has learned.

The residents of 3 Island Avenue in Miami Beach say front desk attendant Jennifer Russell, an employee of KW Property Management & Consulting, took master keys to their units while she was on duty and stole valuables from them on April 3. A Miami Beach police report names Russell of Fort Lauderdale as the suspect and cites a video in which she was seen carrying a purse that resident Nazila Aboughaddareh said belonged to her.

When Aboughhaddareh came home to her unit that night, a bottom lock that she never used was locked and she couldn’t enter. When she finally was able to gain access the next day, she found her closet ransacked, and at least $23,000 worth of goods — including jewelry from Tiffany & Co., David Yurman and Van Cleef & Arpels; Christian Louboutin and Gucci shoes; clothing, purses and two laptop computers — stolen. Her hard drive, which she said is key to her work as a communications consultant, was also missing.

“She was watching me,” Aboughhaddareh told TRD. “She knew I had some luxury goods in the unit.”

Similarly, Ofir Farahan said that when he returned home to his rented unit, he was unable to open the door because an extra lock was locked. After he called a locksmith and gained entry, he discovered that a brand new, boxed Mac desktop computer, a Breville juicer and a gold bracelet were stolen, with a combined value of $2,500.

A video recording shows Russell going up and down the elevator several times with full garbage bags that she took to her car, according to the burglarized residents and Diliana Alexander, president of the co-op board. Russell had been scheduled to work at the until 7 a.m. the next day, but left unexpectedly that night.

Alexander said the board of the 144-unit co-op was aware that Russell was “a problematic employee,” because she had come to work late and had other issues. Alexander said the board had asked the management company to let her go before the thefts ever occurred.

On April 7, KW Management’s district manager, Jeffrey Ulm, sent a letter to 3 Island Avenue’s residents, informing them that the attendant obtained keys to the units and stole personal property. The unnamed attendant also opened and/or removed packages from the package room, he wrote in the letter, obtained by TRD. “KWPM is dedicated to ensuring the lost property is identified and replaced,” he said in the letter, adding that the employee had been terminated.

According to a demand letter from Aboughhaddareh’s attorney Adam Levit, Russell’s fingerprints were found in Aboughhaddareh’s unit.

Russell could not be reached for comment. Broward County arrest records show she was arrested in Dania Beach on July 26 for dealing in stolen property and for false verification of ownership given to a pawnbroker.

The demand letter includes a separate Broward County arrest report for Russell for retail theft on Jan. 25. “A company such as KW has a duty to perform a background check on prospective employees holding a position of power that would provide access to unit owners’ apartments,” the letter states. The attorney is seeking $65,000 in reimbursement, according to the letter.

Miami attorney Frank C. Simone, who represents KW Property Management & Consulting, said in a statement that an employer is not liable for an employee’s criminal acts when they occur “outside the course of their employment” and “were not conducted in furtherance of the employer’s interest.”

The alleged robberies “were committed solely for the benefit of the accused — not for the employer,” he said in the statement. He suggested the residents sue the alleged burglar.

Levit said he disagreed with KW’s response. “Their defenses are meritless,” he said, “and we are prepared to aggressively litigate this to make my client whole again.”
