I bought a mystery bag of jewellery – I found a 14k gold bracelet & hit the jackpot when I spotted a posh designer logo
A WOMAN has revealed that she bought a mystery bag of vintage jewellery and was left totally stunned when she looked inside.
Not only did Kira Wennerstrom find a stunning 14 carat gold bracelet, but she also spotted a posh designer necklace too.
Showing off her finds online, Kira, who describes herself as ‘your blonde thrift-store owning best friend’, shared the short clip showing off her thrifted, vintage finds.
She said: “Let’s go through another thrifted jewellery mystery bag.
“Weighing over 30 lbs of bag, you’re bound to find some odd pieces, but there are some nice finds in here.”
Kira first spotted a beautiful second-hand tiara, followed by a large leather choker, and some personalised bracelets.
She also got her hands on a cute Hello Kitty bracelet, as well as a leopard print Juicy Couture necklace.
As well as this, Kira was lucky enough to find a Hello Kitty ring, some earrings, and a unique lace and pearl choker.
In addition to this, she even found a Sweethearts bracelet, still with its tag, as well as some vintage hat pins.
Thrilled with her finds, Kira continued: “This bag is definitely turning out to be better than the last, with lots of 90s and Y2K jewellery.
“There’s lots of real silver and gold in these vintage hat pins – I’m obsessed.”
But Kira was mind blown as she spotted a 14 carat gold heart bracelet, as well as a Tiffany & Co. necklace.
She continued: “It’s going to be so hard not to keep some of these pieces for myself, like this 14 carat gold bracelet and this Tiffany and Co. necklace, I couldn’t believe I found this in this bag.”
The posh double heart tag pendant necklace, from the iconic, luxury jewellery brand, retails new at an eye-watering £264.

Where to find mystery boxes
MYSTERY boxes are becoming more and more popular, with people keen to take a gamble in buying one. But where can you get one from?
Charity shops
Lots of charity shops have started putting together mystery boxes as a way to get rid of stock that they’ve been otherwise unable to sell. While you can never guarantee what you’re going to get, these boxes are usually cheaper than ones bought elsewhere.
eBay
Many retailers use eBay to sell their stock, with options on the auction site including unclaimed luggage or parcel returns, all put together in a mystery box. It’s not like a normal ‘auction’ though – there will usually be a buy it now price so it’s just like any other internet transaction.
Online retailers
As the popularity of mystery boxes increases, other retailers have started selling them in the hope that they will be a hit among customers. Have a look on sites such as Amazon, Etsy and Wowcher, and you’ll often find the mystery boxes are listed by genre too.
If there’s a particular niche mystery box you’re looking for, it’s always worth searching for it. There are so many websites out there selling mystery boxes, you’ll undoubtedly find what you’re after.
As with buying anything online, make sure you are purchasing from a trusted retailer and a secure website.
Not only this, but one jewellery lover shared: “I would die for one of those bags!”
Whilst one user claimed: “Those pins are stick pins and go in the lapel of a jacket.”
To this, Kira replied and wrote: “Wow, even better.”
