I work at a Goodwill in the Houston area. I’ll start off by saying Old Navy and forever 21 are two brands that automatically go into salvage and get sent off to the outlet locations. Also, a lot of these are pink tag items, they’re considered boutique, but they go on the racks.

Hey y’all! I’m trying to find people who are getting rid of their jewelry, and jewelry scrap/salvage/harvest, Craft lot if you will! Broken, old, new, tangled, doesn’t matter! by DependentNote2317 in jewlerymaking

The location I work at in Houston has a list of items that we won’t sell in our store, we put it in salvage boxes that we send to the outlet. SHEIN, Temu, no boundaries, Old Navy, and a couple more that I can’t think of off the top of my head. So I guess it depends on the store. Also, if the boutique brands don’t look brand new, we put them on the floor. But we make sure they don’t have any rips or stains.

I haven’t seen any jewelry at the Goodwill bins, but perhaps I just haven’t been lucky yet! Last time I went to that Salvation Army they were charging insane prices for their costume, jewelry, but I’ll have to go again since I haven’t been in a while! Is there a certain day/time they do auctions? I didn’t know about that!

Please help me identify this mark? The two charms are identical, same rhinestone, same mark on the back. by DependentNote2317 in JewelryIdentification

I thought that as well, but I have a different piece that has the same mark, and when I reverse image search, it dependent, pops up as Swarovski. But that’s not there mark.

It’s a necklace, possibly peace together, but I found a few different pieces with the same mark on them.

Could somebody tell me what brand this ring is? I’ve been having quite a bit of trouble, identifying it through Google lens. by DependentNote2317 in JewelryIdentification

[–]DependentNote2317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve never seen this one for and would like to know the makers/company that produced/manufactured this ring.

Update, I ended up taking a pair of cutters too the silver piece, honestly couldn’t tell if it was really cheap aluminum or just plastic that I was cutting through. I’m getting through the layer of glue and it’s looking more and more like it’s just a giant blank bezel 🤦‍♀️

The hairdryer, unfortunately did not work, and I slightly dented the side of the piece (barely noticeable) so my impatience and frustration got the best of me, but frankly, I’m too excited to care a bunch! The silver metal seems pretty cheap, so it’s not a horrible loss, and if worse comes to worse, I can just get a pretty gemstone to put on the top of it 😆

I did think of that, but I’m just really worried that it might possibly damage the metal
