- In a December 1 segment, Ingrid Maddaus expected €250 for a charm bracelet that expert Heide Rezepa‑Zabel valued at €3,500 to €3,600, prompting online criticism over sellers’ lack of price research.
- Dealers’ post-show strategies were highlighted as Lisa Nüdling reworked a gold collier with sapphires and rubies into earrings after a €750 purchase, budgeting €600 for goldsmith work and planning a €2,300 shop price.
- The ZDF weekday program continues to separate gold content from gemstone and design premiums, with changing fashion cited as a key factor in recent lower-than-hoped estimates.
