What is a chachkies?
It a Jewish word for shiny collectables a bit on the trashy side but cherished.
Possibly much of out jewellery such as charms could go under this umbrella, we do have costume @topbananaantiques most tends to be £1 to £10. Charms can be all sort of prices, and often these started out life as chachkies, often Czech glass cracker fillers some of these items from the early twentieth century now make £100 each.
So like many things especially in the antique world, one persons trash is someone else's treasure.
We try the find the unloved and add love back to make it desirable again. So many items are such great value out there.
