Overview
- On Monday and Tuesday experts used hallmark checks, acid tests and stylistic dating to re-evaluate items, producing higher and lower price estimates in the studio.
- A ring stamped “750” tested as 585 by Patrick Lessmann, prompting the seller to call the result fraud and withdraw her offer after the on‑air test.
- An Italian Valenza 750‑gold ‘Liebesknoten’ bracelet was valued at about €5,500–€5,800 and sold for €5,000, while a Daum Nancy “Rosiers” vase dated c.1900 sold for €2,500 after a €2,800–€3,200 estimate.
- Dealers left the studio to view a converted brooch with a 10.03 ct sapphire in daylight, which revealed deep blue tones and helped push the winning bid to €6,500.
- A planned sale of a century‑old bronze was cancelled when the seller’s grandson intervened, underscoring how provenance, reworkings and on‑air tests can change both valuations and sellers’ decisions on the show.
