Overview
- Rena and Andreas from Hamburg sold a family heirloom to bolster savings for a planned world trip after presenting it at the Pulheimer Walzwerk studio.
- The hinged armlet is 585 gold with an almost 90-carat, diamond‑faceted smoky quartz and fine filigree work linked to mid‑century craftsmanship.
- Heide Rezepa‑Zabel explained that Portugal traditionally stamped 750 gold, so the 585 mark was likely added later for export, which informs attribution and pricing.
- In the dealers’ room, Susanne Steiger secured the piece after opening at €3,200, as other dealers balked at the high melt value or preferred older jewelry.
- The episode also saw sales including an AEG heater for €90, a Neapolitan shell cameo brooch for €600, a Rosenthal fawn for €200, and a Fuhrmannsbesteck for €350.
