My lucks gotta run out soon, I’ve e had an insane past two weeks..

So a new goodwill opened today, I chose not to go to that one with the masses and instead stopped by my regular one. So glad I did. When I got in there I saw all sorts of stuff I wanted to see and I started with the rings. Was just throwing stuff to the side I wanted to buy and it kept on getting better!

Started with the rings and got these. One is really ornate and was probably really nice at one point with the enamel in the design. Could probably be brought back to life easy.

Then I moved to the bracelets and wow got this 72 gram one for 10 bucks and these three smaller ones.

Then I come across not one but TWO gold bracelets.

A little confused about what 551over 600 means though so any info would be appreciated.

The large one is 14 k and when I picked it up and saw the extra chain I knew it would be good then I saw a rather large 585 on the heart. I picked up the second one and could vaguely make out a 22k. I don’t know why a 22k bracelet would have these cheesy looking stones though. I don’t know what they are.

Went to the necklaces and earrings next and got these.

Thanks for checking it out and keep searching!
 

Congratulations on the awesome score. Wow!
 

I found out what the 551/600 means. Well I don’t know how accurate this is but supposedly it’s a limited edition by Solar of England and this was piece 551 of 600.

Nice! Gotta love goodwills:laughing7:
 

Ya gotta love Goodwillsa
 

Robbing them blind gotta love it. Good scores
 

Hello, congratulations. Incredible scores, and more so where you scored them at. Over here in Fla, it's a rarity to score something nice at GW. All the good stuff is sent to shopgoodwill.com, where they auction the heck out of it. Their own little ebay. Continue with the best of luck! :-)

I hit the big sales this last weekend at my local big stores and one has really gone down the shoot and the other has outrageous pricing on any jewelry made of gold or silver. All their watches are nothing but crap. Pickings have become very slim these days for me. They now have a jewelry case they call the managers case, that only the manager is allowed to open. In it I see average silver rings with prices no less then 15 bucks and higer.

Awesome awesome finds. I find it interesting how Goodwill operates differently. It seems your stores sell jewelry and also use some type of pricing software . It seems they are well run and organized unlike the junk stores in my neck of the woods. As for the mark. 551/600=.91. .91x24kt=22kt
 

Congrats on the nice finds. Goodwills in my part of the woods are a waste of time lately. Mostly brand new department store rejects and overpriced cherrypicked items. Been a few years since I've had any luck. Only thing left are the clothing aisles where you might find a cool 1970's era t-shirt or two from old rock shows that the new pickers don't have a clue about...

Great grabs, huge congrats! I'm particularly fond of the Taxco clamper bracelet. They sell for well over melt. Jewelry hauls as rich as this are super rare these days... Right place/right time. This is a classic case of 'the jewelry lady' going on vacation or a high employee turn over rate and the company not training the new jewelry clerk... Or employees who absolutely don't give a rip and just want to 'price this mess of jewelry' and go home for the day. All I can say is I would urge you to visit this store every day until it stops producing. And it will stop, unfortunately.

This is the last month of jewelry sales, they are all moving to online sales in October:(

It has the stamp 585, apparently that style had only 600 made and it is number 551. At least that is what I read.
I just got very lucky.

Yeah that person was definitely off. I listed the clamper that was bought for $10 at $200 and it sold in less than 24 hours with no counter offers.

I used Facebook marketplace and it was my first resale.
