DR. I know you're an incredibly confident woman. The jokes about your rubenesque stature are definitely engaging with your audience... but I just want to say that you are Beautiful... this is from my heart as a size 10, 120lb, Married 20 yrs and 50 yrs old woman. Education and Confidence have become rare in recent years. I'm glad there are still positive role models for others out there. Carry on and NEGOTIATE!
PEACE, LOVE & KNOWLEDGE!!!
Thanks CrickettMoon. I appreciate you taking the time to share. :)
“God, that is beautiful. I am going to wear that a little bit....just a little bit!” So FUNNY! I really love your comments and I love looking for old jewelry, too. I appreciate your work. Your passion is evident.
Hi Betty, happy you enjoyed the vid. Gotta have some fun.

Dr. Lori I adore you. Your vast knowledge and divine sense of humor mixed with your quick wit with a side of sass never fails to not only teach but bring joy and entertain and let's not forget those slam dunk appraisals worthy of retirement. Come South young lady, come South and entertain the good people on the East Coast of Virginia.
Thanks Sue. I've been to the East Coast of VA twice this year already in VA Beach. Get a fair, festival, expo, etc to invite me back. That's how my events get scheduled.
Such a joy to watch your appraisals ! Thank you for posting them ✨✨✨

Love old jewelry, thankyou for the video!
Thanks for watching and sharing
Oh my goodness! That 30's-40's 14k diamond ring was fantastic! Such a beautiful piece of work. I would absolutely LOVE to attend one of Dr. Loris aution shows. She cracks me up!! I have been binge watching all of her episodes on this channel and furthing my knowledge on antiques. I'm really into vintage glassware, and it can be difficult to try to find information on certain things. I'm so happy I stumbled upon her CZcams channel!! Thank you for sharing and everything you do Dr. Lori!!! ♡
Jessica, glad you enjoy the videos. Hope to see you at an event. Please introduce yourself.
The things Dr Lori says crack me up "Pave boyfriend." "I'm gonna wear that a little bit."
I can be a crack up! lol
Love your videos on jewelry. Wish your videos were longer because I love them! I’ve noticed a lot of people don’t know the numeric value of gold, good for me, bad for the thrift store.
Thanks Princess. We've got a new video every week and longer ones to come. Yes, a lot of mistakes by thrift store people. Good for shoppers like you, but bad for the thrift store and the families who give valuables away.
Dr Lori, I just love watching you.. your tremendous knowledge and hilarious presentation make these videos so interesting and informative. Thank you for all that you do! Much love and God bless.
You're so sweet! I'm happy you enjoy them. Join us on Sundays at 5 pm eastern for live chats and the premiere of a new video :)
@@DrLoriV thank you for sharing this. Will surely try to login. Wishing you all the very best.
Pave’ Boyfriend 😂😂😂. Not only full of information but witty too! Luv me some Dr. Lori!
Crystal, thanks. Why not have some fun as you learn :)
Dr. Lori is not only a font of useful information, she is also a bona fide hoot!
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to share so others can enjoy!!
Dr Lori. Love your informative explanations. 👍 South Africa 🇿🇦

I am learning so much from watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing source of information. This one is quite helpful.
Dr. Lori, stumbled on your channel and floored! You are manna from heaven in information. Love you!!
Nice to meet you. Welcome to the channel
@@DrLoriV Still binge watching all your videos! Love love love!
Great Tina. When you are done on YT, there are more on my website at www.DrLoriV.com/videos
"If your bf wants to get you a Pave' ring, you need a new bf." ....Love your humor....:)
I just love to watch your video's Dr. Lori I can't wait till you come back to Houston or Sugarland. I have a pearl necklace and several diamond rings I have inherited that I would love for you to look at.
The Home shows in Houston are thinking of having me back, you gotta tell them you want me.
@@DrLoriV Thank you for letting me know that. Who do I contact or should I say where, I don't know where they hold the show. But I will certainly do that.
I will let all my friends know and we will pass the word around for sure. My cousin was telling me about you months back but I didn't know who you were. One day I came across your videos and was telling her about you and she said that was the lady I was telling you about, funny huh. I have so many things for you to appraise and I can't wait to finally meet you. You are so awesome and I really admire you too.
Thanks for sharing that story! It's a small world. Have everyone tell Texwood Shows to have me back. Their details are at texwoodshows.com/contact-us.html
Thank you Dr. Lori I will definitely spread the word because we want you to come back. I am so excited to meet you, I can't wait.
I love your straight to the freakin POINT!
Can I just say I love you lol. I just simply love you! I learn so much and thats something I can never loose!
You’re sweet Andrea. Happy to hear it!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
My pleasure. Thank me and help others by sharing links to my videos with friends and social media groups.
it is so good to have an expert to teach you the truth
Thanks Maria, please don't forget to share the expertise (videos) so others benefit :)
If you have a jewelry question you should really email Dr. Lori , I did. Honestly they got back to me in less than 30 minutes. The guy was really great.
My staff is very good at what they do. I couldn't help all of you without them.
Oh how I would love to have you look through my pile of treasures, Im learning a lot from you.
Kristina, I can do that. I visit homes, look at photos, and do video chats!
Love your videos Lori..and I love jewelries too🥰
I am new to your channel and I am so pleased. I am impressed with your wit and your knowledge. I have pieces of jewelry belonging to my mother and my grandmother. I wish I could afford to have them appraised. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Welcome! Many of my events offer free appraisals paid for by the event’s host. Bring some friends, have them carry your stuff and get started!
Very informative, thanks.
Thanks for watching
🎄🦩Greetings from Pensacola, Fl.
Your show is simply the best Dr. Lori. Quit watching one of the other shows after learning about you. ❤️
Hoping to have some jewelry appraised after the Holidays by you but because I’m still a new kid on the block per say- and still learning about your appraisals,
I don’t see how you can appraise jewelry without a loop or actually it being a hands on appraisal. Can you give an appraisal on jewelry?
The jewelry I wanted to get appraised at a well known jewelry store said I’d have to leave the pieces there, and it could take a few months before they can get to it. Well that right away didn’t sit well with me. I’ve never done it before so I don’t know how it’s gone about. I want to be at the store when it’s done and not be leaving it locked up in one of their safes until they get to it.
Do you have a utube link telling about how to go about getting jewelry appraised to someone who doesn’t know squat about appraising jewelry.
Wishing you a most blessed and happy Christmas 🎄🎁❤️🦩🎄🎉💫🦩🐬🍻🍷🌞🌴🌴🎅🏼🧑🏻🎄🦩
I do many appraisals of jewelry from photos. What type of appraisal do you need?
@@DrLoriV
I’ll bring touch soon- I’ve got buisness to see about. I’ve got Ruby necklace/matching earrings at least 50 years old , diamond rings, 2 pearl necklaces and more from Grandmother. Around 8-10 different pieces. I’d like appraisals to give to my daughter.
@@SwtTrisha8 Happy to help when you are ready :)
Hi Dr Lori. Recovering from a bad wreck years ago and surgeries like spinal fusion and replacement disc and recently waking up out of depression from all that stuff. I been saving up a bit of money to try my hand at reselling as I was a electronics sales man fresh out of high school. I used to be interested in Vintage cologne and purfumes for myself as the reformulated version of some of my favorite are just ununbearable. Is there any money in this business of vintage fragrances ? Because a diligent shopper can find incredible deals of people selling something not knowing its an original formula. Or should I move on to something eles. The fragrances helped me remember I used to love this stuff and reminded me of better days.
Get well soon! I've done several videos on vintage perfumes. Please search my channel to find them.
Wish you could come to Joplin. I just bought a ring I think is a diamond cluster at antique store last week. And a 14k gold and gemstone hummingbird pen. Both pieces were $5. I know the latter is genuine, but unsure, but starting to think that the first could be genuine.
Hi Alison, I get everywhere, but can help you right now if you like. I look at photos and do video chats!
@@DrLoriV ok. I was thinking of sending an image to you. Can you tell if it's diamond just by a picture?
@@fluterific00 I have to see the picture. If I can't tell from your photo, I tell you that I can help if I see it in person at one of my events :)
@@DrLoriV ok. Sounds great!
Omg that $10,000 ring! 😍 ia there a possible name for this ring design or something, would love to have an engagement ring like that. ❤ (p.s. just found your channel and i love it! Please more about vintage antique rings, i love me some beautiful rings!) ALSO, what's your thoughts on Moissanite Rings?
The size and shape of the diamonds as well as the symmetry of that design is what makes this ring a knock out, I think.
Thanks for subscribing to my channel. I am glad you love it. I love making it. And many people are interested in moissanite rings for many political and cost reasons. There are a lot of options when it comes to moissanite rings. Keep watching-more videos to come.
I don't understand if the values that Dr. Lori gives are the values that I could sell a piece for or if it is the price that a dealer would sell that piece to me. So, I guess I am asking -- are the values that Dr. Lori gives the wholesale or retail price?
I use actual sales records, so you can really sell pieces for that much. I have a blog post on my website explaining different values in different venues which may prove helpful. Thanks for your question.
New to your channel. You're the best. I'm glad a stumbled across your channel.
Can you please do a video on amethyst. I read alot about fake gems and it's hard to tell if it real stuff
Welcome! My editors are actually working on a video where I appraise an amethyst ring. Subscribe and stay tuned to my YT channel. New videos every week.
You know most all.
Man you work hard going to all these shows. I be exausted
I enjoy what I do, I’m lucky.
@@DrLoriV
No luck your just smart enough to make things happen. 😊
😊
Hello Dr Lori, Ive just went through many of your videos about all kinds of antiques, I found a pearl necklace in a goodwill jewerly jar, Do you think that testing pearls by rubbing them on your teeth doesnt proof their real?
Glad you enjoy my videos. These tests are stupid like the others I talk about at www.drloriv.com/Blog/ID/4120/Avoid-Foolish-Tests-on-Antiques. Get an expert like me to correctly identify your pearls. Don't ruin them with foolish tests.
Give us uour stuff!!
Hi Dr. LORI I have a ring that says k14 but its a silver color so im guessing white gold. Why is the k in front of the 14? Is it still 14k?
Need to see to verify. Send me Photos. Use the form on my website.
Hi Dr Lori, I had a 5 CT diamond switched at my trusted jeweller and I get sick every time I think of the deception and subsequent impotence of not being able to bring him to justice. I live by your jewelry rules and don't know how to get my 3 CT diamond ring sized so I can wear it. Every jeweller says it will take x-many weeks to size so I should leave it. What do you suggest?
Can you go back to the jeweler who sold you the 3 CT ring to have them resize it? A suggestion would be to get an appraisal of the ring before you have it resized. Get it documented of what you have. Then, when you drop it off for resizing tell them you have it documented. After the work is done, get the ring appraised again. Sorry this is the world we live in.
Dr. Lori I send you some photos
Oh i would like to know where are some of your apprasal aprreances that would be closer to massachuetts?
Keep tabs on my schedule at www.DrLoriV.com/events. Always adding new location. Yes, I get to New England.
Does all diamonds have good metal on them like gold or silver
Tammy, as with many items and antiques, everyone wants one statement to apply to everything and it just doesn't work that way. The best answer I can offer as a general guide is know and look for quality. If you have a specific piece you are wondering about, I can take a look and help.
Dr Lori, but there are many without marks; old ones for example;
Don't rely on marks! Look for quality.
@@DrLoriV I will try to find something I like and be reasonable at the same time, because you need to be a "connaisseur" or have you like a genie in a bottle for consulting...I would like to know the value for 2 my mother jowellery; it is not for sale but curiosity; I know that aren't so much of value , but maybe one day I will know; thank you
@@labeate I look at photos of items and you can show me pieces during a video call too! All the details are on my website
@@DrLoriV thank you!
Hey hips, what kind of loupe do you use?
Check out the loupe I suggest at www.drloriv.com/Tips/ID/4902/Treasure-Hunting-Tools-Storage-Products --Dr. Lori
@@DrLoriV thank you, and by the way I just sent you photos of "Cargador de Colima".. I got a reply that you prefer to touch it with your own hands, to appraise it. I can't go to a show, but I do appreciate your professionalism Dr. Lori. I understood completely and appreciated your HONEST reply instead of you trying to make a buck off me! How refreshing you are!
@@peanut924 Some pieces I just need to see in person so I can provide the correct info. I'm always adding new shows so maybe I'll meet you :)
how can you tell platinum from silver?
Pieces are marked. Read my article about silver to help at www.drloriv.com/Tips/ID/4517/Sterling-silver
I wear the jewelries I inherited from my Mother-in-law everyday. They are all but gold and diamonds, too. I do not believe in keeping it in a box.
Good for you!
