Bares für Rares Exposes Fake Ring as Classic Lamp Fetches €1,420

Expert scrutiny now decides what sells on the ZDF show.

Overview

  • Expert Wendela Horz determined a supposed diamond heirloom was 333 gold with a zircon, leaving only about €100 in material value and no dealer card for the seller.
  • Sven Deutschmanek identified a Kaiser idell 6580 Super double table lamp as a design classic, valuing it at €1,500–€2,000 before dealer bidding.
  • The lamp’s owner, Wolfhard Klüter, had been offered €80 previously but sold on the show to dealer Jan Cizek for €1,420 after a competitive auction.
  • Horz shared a simple at‑home tip for spotting real diamonds by placing a stone over a black dot on paper to gauge optical behavior.
  • A Steiff fabric dragon from the 1950s/60s sold to Markus Wildhagen for €110 after a last‑second bid, while a Libuše Niklová squeaky cat with a Fatra Napajedla mark brought €250 to Jan Čížek.
