was yes Wow I can't wait to find out how much it's worth it's Jeremy and George and you'll never guess what the Hales were up to today we got a ton of what George jewelry jewelry gold silver all kinds of bling we have it and we're gonna get an official appraisal today we're in Mount Vernon Ohio we're visiting one of our faithful subscribers who actually approached us contacted us and said hey if you bring it in I will appraise it for you make sure that you know exactly what you got so this score was from a $400 unit that George and I got in Norwalk Ohio George she was bidding on it I officially want it and the competition too but we're gonna find out today I'm gonna go ahead and admit it you did do you want it we're going to try and find out today just how much I want it buy but before we do we want your guess where should they put it George make sure you leave a comment below let us know how much you think the jewelry that we found so far will be appraised for and at the very end we'll give you the granddaddy total I can't wait can you she's ready heading into the jewelry store gonna go see Fred we're here at honey Hut's jewelry they've been here since 2004 the gentleman that's looking at all of the jewelry right now is aja what do you think J a stands for Gia's got a stand for George although I know it's Fred Fred's looking at the jewelry but that's got to be yea Georgia institution of America right there originally I saw the George put on an emerald emerald cut diamond ring on her finger yeah and you didn't really make much men make meth mention of it and I thought you know maybe I could help them out let them really know what they have because I think you we have you think we have a lot more than what I think you might yeah something some things yes some things no but for the most part I think that you know yeah this could be this could be awesome I can't wait to see you do your work alright this is the ring that I put on in the video you're never gonna believe how much of the retail phrase off I believe it because Fred just told me this is a 14-karat white gold wedding band something like this you're probably not gonna get much out of retail on and you'll get more money out of scrapping it out for its gold value so just just how would we go about or how our viewers even go about scrapping viewers um just find someone that you trust that's local that that pays market price okay that's the way to go probably probably not I get a good idea to go like these fly-by-night places I come in and buy gold then they leave your town in there for two weeks and then they leave you know they won't pay you as much they're just looking to make a profit piece on the left is a sterling silver and turquoise the piece on the right is actually more of an antique piece of jewelry which is a row gold plating it's a nice little locket very cool ready to find out the retail value on the gold chain and reused pearl start adding it up because we want your total and you're gonna find out the total at the very end here we go retail $50 it's gonna be near impossible to show everything from today but we're gonna show you some of the cool highlights what's your guess on this one gold earrings retail another $50 we love gold and we're guessing you do to another $75 that's 175 for all you who are keeping track so far so this is where where someone could mess up thinking this is 10k gold it's stamped in care gold but underneath it's actually stamped gold plate yeah I think I actually saw that on the original video and I said that it was it was gold so I did mess up youtubers are always helpful letting me know when I mess up pretty watch it's antique how old do you think it is this watch is probably 75 years old Wow it's a manual wine watch these girls watchmakers oh these gold earrings look incredible are you sure you don't want to keep these George alright well then we're gonna retail $75 so so 30 years learning how to be a jeweler this is exactly how I learned people bring jewelry and me ask me what it's appraised for that says right on the tag $10 George what are you doing George what are you doing what does it look like we're getting appraisals we're not we're not ring shopping you wanna what is that what it is a gold star is born' actually two of them he's remind me of you George $75 there were definitely a lot of gold earrings and we were thrilled to have all Fred's help and expertise and another $75 in retail value so costume jewelry you definitely don't want to see made in America right but this is made in Italy it's nicer quality costume jewelry but it's not realreal high-end it's glass yeah pretty yeah this all glass but it's this is what I would consider a little higher in costume the blue topaz earring looks incredible but we don't have the other one we don't know if we're gonna find it still we hope we do but without its match we're only at $150 now Fred I got to tell you once we showed this jewelry box on youtube all the comments were there's a hidden compartment there's more jewelry your professional opinion as a jeweler my professional opinion is there is no hidden compartment nothing now this isn't just glued down well the value on this jewelry box then if you want to buy it today you can buy it at what the hell's $5 it is I don't know that's a that's a vintage US uniform piece so I didn't even I didn't see that when we were in there originally did you see it I may have no yeah these aren't supposed to be bent over there's actually a clutch that goes on those Fred found it very cool they may have had this one a hat or something and didn't want to be poked in the head so they uh yeah I'm bent it over yeah that'd be my guess I keep my be wore ball cap or something because sure we have to oval cut amethyst earrings in gold and survey says 175 there these are Ruby and diamonds zubeen diamonds yeah you can just landed and what was the paper she had him appraised at what 225 225 and that one you think is actually right pretty close yeah 225 right there those are pretty aren't a retail value of 225 that price tag keeps going up doesn't it being at a pearl way you want to look at is the finish on the Pearl we call knacker if they're not real it'll be a glass bead underneath and there'd be little chips like it was a dipped and when it's dipped it's dipped in what we call essence de pearl which is crushed show real real pearls will have a a consistent finish with slight blemishes and the pearls themselves won't be exactly round they usually have kind of an off shape to them and those are these look real mm-hmm that's fantastic you know these have a slight pink tone to them but they're pretty and 14 karat yellow gold I like that word gold like that drumroll please yep 275 oh don't worry we're nowhere near close to the item that's gonna max it yeah I'm not I'm not a horse guy but my guess is since I found this in the same unit this is all sterling silver and by the way this is made on back this is typically how attack is attached to horse bridles so there are a lot of gold and silver in horse tack there is Wow we're gonna have to check everything even more yeah when you lay now when you have when you have leather bridles with a bunch of embellishment the silver and gold embellishment early when it's a metal like this in Italy sterling silver or even an even more pure silver content and gold appraisal in these diamond earrings here says 150 and they would retail for around 350 that's great star-shaped gold earrings with diamonds in the middle beautiful studded earrings least I think that's what you call it studded earring with a total of 350 retail value Fred found another piece here from the military probably Air Force so the back there or army air oh yeah either war yeah actually this the symbol yeah that may be more indicative of Army Air Force okay which came about after World War two which heard dad we do know her dad served in the Air Force right after World War two is in peacetime imitation Ruby not a real Ruby not a real Ruby more than likely it's a man-made Ruby it's probably it's probably still corundum which is what you move in sapphire made from huh this is a created ruby ring so retail on this ring is around 350 to 400 dollars created Ruby which Fred gave us an education on with the 10 karat setting we got a retail value 350 so this is actually sterling silver and this is where he actually went to basic training or qualified for they don't have the tabs hanging off but this should be if I remember correctly your expert or or sharpshooter very cool we love the history behind it so so this little little pin here says America watchmaker destitute the after World War 2 and soldiers were coming home there were so many of them the US government gave them opportunities for different jobs and one of them was watchmaking or horology so it's possibility that when you got out of the service maybe might have a watchmaker Wow yeah pretty cool somebody want to buy that that's so cool better look here a lot of these spoons too this is gotta be like Easter Egg star ring this ring somebody's definitely gonna want that dependence even nicer yeah so many viewers love this Eastern star black onyx ring it's in white gold and the retail value if you want it just messes George what the Hales at yahoo.com and the retail value is $400 being a jeweler I don't really praise boxes but I'd say the retail and this is trash that goes in the tear ash okay so this this is an Eastern star ladies pin and it's in perfect condition and it's sag I believe has a diamond in the center the rest of the gemstones are semi-precious very cool because the the sapphire and Ruby most the time aren't real on these pendants but the other semi-precious stones are it's a diamond in center single cut diamond Eastern star pendant with a diamond absolutely beautiful piece and I'm sure lots of interest well if you want it it can be yours for 475 retail value so unfortunately the chain on this is gold-filled so it's not it's not solid gold but the pendant is pretty it it has a lot of greens and blues in the opal if you can see that I really see the Blues the greens I can't too much right now if the Blues are really coming through maybe if I turn it Co plus if you turn them sideways or almost clear but if you turn them you can get the and it is stamped 585 which is 14 karat gold stamped 14 karat in 85 585 base what do you what's worse the jelly base see where it says here it says jelly base uh-huh the opal we don't have any technical terms like that they valued at 225 you value it at around 4 70 or 75 there it is those are the opal earrings the earrings mm-hmm can you see the fire in them yeah I can yeah very pretty yeah as if this would be this would be an awesome pair of earrings to buy and then we have the there's the opal ring with five stones in it to the opal earrings which are a better quality in grade than the pendant to oval cut 14 karat gold so so those opals on a paper are valued at $300 yeah retail a nose would be more like 750 $800 Wow we'll go 750 on that we'll keep we'll keep it low even though it's gonna be a huge tally total much much more than your 8000 whatever it was some abrasions on this let's make sure this heat index on it it's about so it's definitely a diamond that's definitely diamond and 14-karat white gold mounting you're probably looking at a 20 point stone 1/5 of a carat the diamond is the value here here we have a 14 karat white gold European cut diamond ring George is wearing it on her binky she tried to put it on her ring finger I'm not sure why but her her hands are swollen right now because of radiation treatment retail value 750 that's the that's the five stone ring right huh it is so pretty yeah yeah there's a lot of fire in these stones underneath the abrasion a lot of greens I'm getting some of the greens in the shop right again some of them yeah the hope I hope it translates well on YouTube once it goes to the processing procedure on YouTube a lot of times it doesn't it doesn't show the same as when we take the video but mm-hmm let's hope the viewers can actually see this beautiful ring and it's an old ring too this is an old ring well this opal ring has a lot the opals are very pretty and very nice but they have a lot of abrasion on top so it's hiding a lot of the color and a fire it's a price of $400 on the slip of paper but in reality it's it should be appraised more around $850 so is there a way to actually get that abrasion off of there do you polish it do you yeah there there is you can polish it you can do some lapidary work on it and actually take that off you'll loot you'll lose a little bit in the weight of the stone but are actually bringing the color and fire back it's a beautiful ring George this one had to be one of my favorite rings that we found in all of the jewelry the five different opals was what was it your favorite was it this or the diamond ring I loved this one just so cool look at the colors I'm colorblind and I can see the colors burst out retail value $800 this is called a leverage gauge what size is next on this one is a 9 9 by 7 this opal ring in a beautiful 14k gold setting which Fred told us was old very very old probably great-grandmother's maybe grandmother's retail value 950 we've got a beautiful Ruby pendant and matching earrings they're in white gold 14k we're starting to get into some bigger money now George so these are natural rubies and they're pretty clean set in a Anna Buttercup style mountain 14k gold chain and the two of these the paper says there were three 375 in reality you're looking more for like probably 375 or 400 for the earrings and the pendant and your it's a larger stone so you're looking more like probably around 550 to 750 just for the pendant alone so for the set together we'd be at probably around $1,000 thousand dollars for the set the emerald earrings so that appraisal value would be around around twelve to fourteen hundred dollars that's incredible these emerald earrings absolutely gorgeous and we've got some other emerald jewelry that well just as beautiful and expensive $1,200 just for the earrings this emerald pendant with a 18 inch gold Singapore chain matches the earrings and there's a ring that matches as well you're around $1,800 on this 18 carat I don't cut $1,800 on the necklace appraised value Wow seven and a half the appraisal is correct it's just a dream Lea old but this is this is the case that was marked 4000 for the emerald set what Fred's told us so far as these appraisals are extremely old yeah so these two are not for this ring they're probably for these okay pendant and earrings yeah so you don't have the one for this okay look this one up you said that's a one carat stone yeah emerald there's the matching emerald ring on George's finger I gave her a silver ring for was it sweetest day or Valentine's Day I gave you she doesn't wear it I guess she's looking for another kind of ring like this one for $1,800 there's got to be a good sign microscope bright lights that's got to be there's got to be some money right there I'm hoping so so when this piece of paper says this is a 14-karat white gold blue topaz ring aha octagon cut topaz but it's actually an emerald cut diamond instead in 14 karat white gold so is that the one that you saw her put on her on her finger in the video and you were like hey you guys got that wrong I believe it was yes Wow I can't wait to find out how much it's worth how about you more than 350 there you go it's definitely more than 350 this is the ring that Fred saw in the video and then he reached out to us it was like hey these guys really need some help which no doubt we do and he said well this is probably the biggest score in this group of jewelry does anybody want to pause the video and guess the amount because now would be a good time to do that yeah look at that on your ring finger George look at that diamond well the official amount is $2,700 now obviously we couldn't show everything and here's just a lot of silver and gold that we didn't even show values for but with all the values we showed if you were doing your math fifteen thousand twenty-five dollars in retail value for gold and silver jewelry found in a $400 storage unit that's the treasure hunting life [Music]
