Among her recent finds are a Bulgari bracelet and a Dior one - both of which are worth over £1,000 each.
She spent £25 on the Bulgari one - the B.Zero1 bracelet made from stainless steel and 18 karat yellow gold.
"When I received the bracelet, I took it to the jewellers immediately in my area and yes, it's 100% authentic," Shannon explained in a video on her TikTok page.
While it wasn't in the best condition when she bought it, she "gave it some TLC" and polished it up, and it sold for a whopping £500 within 24 hours.
The Dior bracelet, which she got for £20 on Vinted, is currently still for sale.
Following her own success on the site, Shannon is putting together an eBook of top tips so others can do the same.
But one of the biggest things she swears by is sticking to a three-minute rule.
"I've been buying and selling for many years now so I've got lot of experience when it comes to getting designer bargains from Vinted," she told Fabulous Online.
"But the best tip of all is to be quick as a lot of items sell within three minutes on Vinted.
"So if you see something then buy it straight away and authenticate it later."
I've made £5.6k on Vinted and here are the 7 items you need to upload now to make cash quick - white maxi skirts will sell instantly for a start
She also said that another way she secures such impressive bargains is by using Google Lens, which she called her "best friend".
She's now hoping to get a similar profit margin with the Dior Rose des vents bracelet - made from "18 karat gold with a single round brilliant cut diamond in the centre".
Upon receiving the bracelet from the Vinted seller, she "had it authenticated straight away" by LegitGrails, who provide "expert digital authentication for designer items with over 99.3% accuracy you can trust".
"Sometimes I buy jewellery from @Vinted and when I do I get amazing pieces!" Shannon captioned her TikTok video.
"That's insane!" one person commented on the clip.
"No one does Vinted like you," another praised.
"Really impressive," a third praised.
"I got a £290 Frederic Malle perfume from Vinted last week for £107 inc p&p," someone else wrote.
"I was worried about it being fake but it was authenticated by the manufacturer, what a STEAL."

Premier League's richest are getting richer but that's a concern.. and it could ruin English football from top to bottom
A FRESH start, a new Premier League season and there's a nice, warm feeling in the pit of every football fan's stomach, which has nothing to do with the fact it's hotter than the hinges of hell. That feeling is called hope. Hope of what fortunes a new campaign can bring for your club. 3 I'm not alone in saying that there are issues which the Prem needs to address and not surprisingly it revolves around money. Or more correctly, where it is going? The gap between the so-called 'big clubs' and the rest is growing. Qualification for the Champions League for our six teams — Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Tottenham — means a whopping extra £150million on top of PL income. Then add the $100m (£75m) Chelsea earned from winning the Club World Cup this summer. Then take this into account — Liverpool and City have kit deals for this season which bring in another £100m. United's is just behind at £90m. At the other end of the scale, Sunderland will make just £500,000 from their kit deal and Burnley £1m. That is a huge disparity of a monstrous £99.5m between top and bottom . In the week the latest A-level results were released, it does not take anything like that qualification in mathematics to work out that the wealthy clubs are getting wealthier — and that must have an impact on competitiveness. This is a worry because the Premier League is the best in the world. It is the most watched, most loved competition which the rest of the globe follows every week. From Singapore to Santiago, Sydney to San Francisco, it is the one that tops the lot. Its popularity has been born out of its unpredictability, with every side capable of beating everyone else on any given day. How much longer that is the case remains to be seen? Leicester won the title in 2016 under Claudio Ranieri. No one saw that coming, but it proved that it could be done. Yet last season, only Nottingham Forest gave the top six a real run for their money. Football fans should be concerned by this because the beauty of the Premier League is in its unforeseeable nature. In May's FA Cup final, Crystal Palace showed the way by beating Manchester City then followed up with a win over Liverpool in the Community Shield. The Prem must get this right because a league where the same teams win every year is not competitive — it is France's Ligue 1 whose broadcast revenues have recently taken a dive. This should be a real concern for football fans everywhere as the PL is the sole funder of the ENTIRE football system, from the EFL to the National League to the WSL. We need to ensure the Premier League continues to thrive to generate the revenues required to fund the whole football ecosystem. 3 3 At the other end of the table there has been a lot said about the clubs — Sunderland, Leeds and Burnley — coming up. In the last two seasons the three promoted to the top flight went straight back down again. What we have to be careful about is that this does not become a regular scenario. It would not be a good for the Premier League to have the same teams going up and down every season. The average PL attendance is over 40,000 and virtually all games are a complete sell-out. It suggests we must be doing something right but it is precious and needs constant care and attention. And that brings me to West Ham. In an era when too many clubs have bought players without a clear plan, this year we are targeting signings who genuinely improve the team. We know it's not about how much you spend, it's how you spend it. It's about adding quality that makes an immediate impact, strengthening where it counts and making sure every new arrival moves us closer to challenging the very best. That's why, as this season kicks off, there's real hope around the London Stadium — hope built not on blind optimism but on a squad being shaped to deliver for our supporters.

Brain drain: Top universities are hoovering up more students, sparking fears lower-ranked colleges may have to merge to survive
Elite universities have hoovered up a larger share of students this year, putting lower-ranked institutions at risk of mergers, data suggests. New analysis by Times Higher Education shows that the top third of universities recruited two-fifths of school-leavers, leaving fewer for the others. These top establishments – mainly made up of the Russell Group – were looking to fill spaces left by a dip in international students. However, if the trend continues, the lower-prestige institutions will become unviable due to lack of numbers, experts warn. Bob Savill, head of student recruitment at the University of Chichester, told THE: 'For the rest of the sector, it's going to be very challenging and... one would imagine we'll see mergers, and so on, in the coming year.' Analysis of Ucas data released on A-level results day show 'higher-tariff' universities – those ranked in the top third for how demanding their entry requirements are – took a disproportionate share of the students this year. Of the total 255,130 UK 18-year-olds accepted on to degree courses, they took 41 per cent. This left 'medium-tariff' ones with 32 per cent of the share and 'lower-tariff' ones with just 27 per cent. The share taken by the top universities is a rise from 40 per cent last year and 37 per cent in 2023. Mark Corver, former managing director of dataHE, said: 'It will widen the effective resourcing gap between universities and mean things are not going to get any easier for lower-tariff [institutions].' The situation has been partly enabled by a rise in top grades, meaning more pupils hit the entry requirements for top universities. Overall, 28.3 per cent of entries got A/A* this year, compared with 27.8 per cent last year, and 25.4 per cent in 2019. Bar the Covid years of 2020-2022, when grades were vastly inflated due to teacher assessment when exams were cancelled, this is the highest proportion on record. The scramble for students has been caused by an overall drop in lucrative international applicants, after a change in visa rules. It meant three quarters of Russell Group universities entered clearing this year, including Durham, Bristol and King's College London. Between them, they had 3,492 courses available – 13 per cent of the 26,000 courses on offer across all universities. The Russell Group was contacted for comment. It comes as a report for Buckingham University found boys were 'chronically underperforming' at GCSE level, with results out on Thursday. Last year, 24.7 per cent of female entries achieved at least a grade 7 (the old A) – compared with 19 per cent of male entries.

Sir Keir Starmer must show that he is on side of strivers over skivers to avoid further voter resentment
Play fair before it's too late, PM LABOUR'S successes have so far been few and far between. But they have succeeded in one thing — uniting huge numbers of voters in a feeling that the Government is presiding over a country rank with unfairness and double standards. Accusations of the UK becoming a two-tier society started after last summer's riots. This week has shown how that has now morphed into other areas of British life. Chief among the furies of voters is the ongoing incompetent handling of illegal migration. Far from delivering on a promise to smash the gangs and stop the boats, Labour has let in 50,000 illegal migrants in record time. Hard-working but hard-up families who despaired at the £5.7 million a day bill for asylum hotels, now watch in horror as young single men are moved into blocks of flats next door, rent-free. Meanwhile, Labour-run Birmingham council lavishes money on celebrations of Pakistan Independence Day and allows the unfurling of thousands of Palestinian emblems across the city — while insisting English St George flags must be torn down. From taxing small farmers, to driving pubs to closure, Government economic policy has also been woefully unfair. Rachel Reeves's National Insurance rise has cost tens of thousands of ordinary people their jobs and stamped out growth. Yet Labour's union paymasters are handed inflation-busting pay hikes. Families face more massive tax rises in the Autumn — on their hard-earned savings, their pensions and their kids' modest inheritances — to fill the Chancellor's £50billion black hole. Small boat crossings under Labour are on brink of hitting 50,000 - one illegal migrant every 11 mins since the election The diminishing number of people who DO still have a job now must pay more than ever to fund EIGHT MILLION on Universal Credit — where half are under no obligation to look for employment at all. There is no plan for tackling this ruinous waste of money and human potential since ministers caved in to their Left-wing backbenchers over welfare reform. This all adds up to a highly damaging impression that Labour is not treating voters equally. We are told Number Ten now recognises just how important 'fairness' is to the electorate. Good. Now Sir Keir Starmer must show that he really is on the side of the strivers over the skivers. Does our former human rights lawyer Prime Minister have the courage to rip up or radically reform the ECHR, the only way to stop the boats? Will he put money back in families' pockets, or keep relentlessly taxing them to fund projects beloved by the hard-Left of his party? Labour has already squandered public goodwill from its landslide victory. It can ill afford to allow voter resentment to fester further.
