Thank you for posting it, sas.

The Chinese pale celadon jade necklace with the Bi-disc in photo #103, and the other Chinese necklace with the carved carnelian pendant, in photo #142.

 

I like pic 57 very much. The blue in the top left corner, the red/green/blue next to it, similarly the blue ensemble in the bottom left, perhaps the intaglio on its right?
Are the amnethyst/pearl ensemble in pic 100 earrings?
Pic 110...maybe gold?
The owl in 111 is tremendous

Off topic, but the dress on 179 is

What a sale!

 

Good heavens! Is all of this really in a single home?

 

It seems incredible that it would be, the jewelry alone spans 100 pictures. Crazy! I'd love to puruse that house.

 

I wonder whether @laura9797 will be there, she lives in Atlanta.

 

Dang!!!!!

I'll take all the rhinestone pins please

 

People are going to be lining up for this sale EARLY. Are you close enough to go to this, Sass?

Just scanned the photos, and seeing some really fun pieces, if it was me I'd head straight to the jewels. One thing that stood out for me was the piece upper left in photo 78. It's just an odd design and I like unusual. For all I know it's AVON or something not too exciting, but I'd love to look at the back and see how it felt in the hand. If it was a maker like Coro or something, I'd get that one if the price was right.

There are a lot of other things I'd get, feels like a sale where I'd spend too much money...

 

Now THAT is an estate sale ! I saw many things Id gladly own.Call me crazy but i love that brass chandelier !

 

Crazy, isn't it? It's here in town, so I'll go. Should be fun!

 

I do not think these people met a thing they didn't like! Definitely a life lived to the fullest. Be sure to let us know what treasures you come back with!

 

That definitely meets the definition of a 'hoard'.

 

I got to the rhinestone pins in picture 158807082 and stopped cold.
There's some good stuff in this one too. 158807281

This sale looks like no matter what, you're going to score something if the price is right.

 

The jade disc in this one looks good too, and I'd bet a good chunk of what's in the picture is gold.

I'll bet two of those 3 ladies watches are gold.....that look like my Moms..

 

Sure could be. Alas worth scrap these days unless they're Rolexes or something.

 

I like these choices and others too.

If this sale was where I live it would be massively attended and competitive. People would line up maybe 2 hours early if not more. Predicting mayhem at the jewelry station! Think: Easter egg hunt if all the children had Redbull first. That's how it would be where I live, hopefully GA is more laid back. You never see big quantities of rhinestones in an in-person sale anymore here. Hopefully they price them to sell.

Sass, I'm sure you know these tricks, but if your eyesight needs any help reading things, don't forget a loupe (I wear one on a necklace chain) and I also bring clear bags, like a gallon ziplocks to put jewelry in just so I can collect a lot quickly. Sometimes the estate sale wants to hold it --that's okay, but I like to have a clear bag rather than dealing with a lot of loose pieces.

You have to promise to report back!

 

Here we'd line up an hour early or more, but the Easter egg hunt on Red Bull sounds about right! I bring ziplocks too. One company got shirty, but "this is so you can see what I've picked up and I can't drop anything." Having a cane on your arm helps in that case. I carry a loupe, but usually just use my eyeballs (nearsighted) because if they see you getting a loupe out then it must be something good and the price goes up.

 

They'll be lining up at dawn! I have an estate sale company here in town too and the folks running this sale are friends. I talked to her this afternoon and she said that the jewelry nook is upstairs, really narrow, and will only fit 2-3 people at a time. They will have 3 employees up there keeping an eye on everything, but we agree that tempers are probably going to flare over some of the jewels! Have a feeling the good stuff will be gone before the first 10 people get in the door.

And I'm still going to go. Hehe

 

Wow-Ziptie your goodies so nobody can snatch 'em ? Anybody ever seen a full on punch-out (fist fight) break out at one of these shindigs ?
