    One thing I do with flaky faux pearls is paint a little Dishwasher safe Mod Podge on them. I don’t know if it is harmful, but it does give them a waterproof seal and prevents more flaking. It also glues down loose flakes where they belong. I do disclose this when I sell.

      That's very interesting. I've never heard of Mod Podge but will look into that. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

    I don't know if it's still available, but I loved cleaning my jewelry with Ultra Joy. It might have a bit of ammonia in it. It makes hardy jewelry pieces sparkle like new money. I also love the jewelry cleaning papers made by Connoisseur. They do an amazing job on silver.

      Thanks for the info! I will sometimes use a tiny bit of Dawn... Sparingly tho. Cheers!

    I have a few pieces that have verdigris on them. I will carefully use vinegar to clean them. Thank you Sandra.

    Thank you for the cleaning tips! Could you do a video on how you handle shipping costs for sold items?

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks for watching. Do you mean shipping costs on eBay sales? Lemme know!

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter

      I would suggest packing your items without sealing them and then weighing. When you're listing your item there is a field on eBay to put the weight and measurements of the box. That way your buyers will get the correct shipping cost for the item automatically and you don't have to worry about calculating it yourself. Hope this helps! Hugs.

    Great information! I just acquired a 1961 Monet gold tone bolero necklace. Do you know how I can clean it without losing the gold tone on it? Thanks.

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Před 6 měsíci

      I would try to gently wipe it with a barely wet cloth. That's the safest bet I think. THANKS for watching and good luck!

    How do you store your amber pieces??

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Před 2 lety +2

      Hey Sylvia, amber, pearls, opals, etc. should be stored in velvet pouches or something like it to avoid them rubbing up against other jewelry and scratching it. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

    How would you turn my blackened vintage Goldette bracelet back to gold fake. Is it a lost hope once it’s turned black?

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  Před 8 měsíci

      It may not be fixable if the gold tone has rubbed away. Perhaps try wiping gently with a barely damp cloth? It may just be grime. Good luck!
