This is a really interesting gaggle of bracelets! Someone here will be able to tell you more. Sarah Coventry isn't going for much these days, that I can say. Good luck.

Just off the top of my head..... it's late and it's been a rough day so my opinion may not be worth much.
1. thermoset plastic or thermoplastic
2. confetti..... could be lucite
3. also known as goldstone
Fun jewelry.

In the past couple of weeks I have had good luck selling the thermoplastic jewelry. It seems to be pretty hot. It's to bad the green one is broken but maybe you should list it as someone might need the parts. Nice set of bracelets probably $4 - 5 dollars a piece maybe if your lucky someone might need a certain one and you will get more.

Thanks Libra63 ! I think I'm going to list them in one lot. Just sounds easier lol. The Thermoplastic is pretty...but my husband said he couldn't fix pot metal.Maybe someone out there can.I must have 500 pieces of Costume Jewelry I'll never wear...I was never much of a Jewelry wearer but My mom never stepped out the house without some on.
I have to sharpen my jewelry skills so Kiara doesn't whip me lol I know I can be a pest ! Thanks again everyone !

toasted, I've bought and sold and hoarded junque jewelry for years but seldom wear it as I like silver and white gold. But I love playing with the older jewelry and have learned lots since being on ebay.
No 7 may be a plastic where they mixed glitter in it?
You are never ever a pest and always find interesting things to show us. Besides, I leave the whipping to fetish.
Whhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!! Snnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppp!!!!!!! lol, that's fun typing that! 
edited to add the !!!!!!!!!

I love the jewelry also. Never wear the stuff but buy it. I am sitting here now sorting through the jewelry I bought yesterday. I also like to see what other people have. Show us anything thing you want as I have a library full of jewelry books.
What I did with my last lot of bracelets was put them on but put a high BIN on them and if the right person comes along they will use the BIN. I had lots of hits on mine so I suspected sniping would happen but someone took the BIN. I was really happy. The #2 has those flecks in that every one that collects 60's jewelry likes. I have also seen earrings like that. That is a really nice assortment of bracelets.

There are many collectors for salt and pepper shakers. The nodders usually do quite well. I haven't checked out the category in awhile but I used to buy lots on ebay for some collectors that came into my shop as they couldn't find many locally.
5000 pairs? WoW!!!!!!
I edited my whhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiippppppp!!!!! stuff above to add the !!!!!!!!! Now it looks better.

I let my brother have the bulk of them...thats what he wanted when she passed .I didn't and still don't have the room for them but guess what.. lol I still have them after 5 years.He doesn't have the room either and keeps saying he'll pick them up.They take 3 of the biggest green rubber trash cans you can buy and 2 large boxes to store them.I kept 8 pairs (my favorites).When she collected something she collected it !!! lol
