The piece she found was a vintage Christian Dior crystal omega choker necklace from the 1980s.

On one website she found the necklace selling for just over $700.

Other sites had it listed from $200 to $500, depending on the condition of the jewelry.

Although Madalyn did not divulge how much she sold it for, she quickly had a buyer and customized the packaging to give the customer a full designer experience.

Before signing off from her video, she left her followers with some sage thrifty advice.

"If you ever find a designer item, or what you think is a designer item, while you are thrifting, I always recommend using Google Lens," she said.

"You can take a picture of the item and then Google will search the internet for you."

This is a method she uses that quickly finds estimated values of objects like the Dior necklace.

Viewers in the comments shared their disbelief and jealousy.

"Blessed by the thrift gods," wrote one user.

"Omg amazing!! I live in the valley too. Maybe someday I’ll get lucky like you haha!" shared another.

Others shared their own thrift scores.

"Happy for you. I thrifted a Hermes scarf for $2," commented a viewer.

"[I] also thrifted a vintage Dior necklace (under $4) and I love it!" added another.
