Overview

• Expert Wendela Horz tested a presumed heirloom ring and found the stone was zircon in a 333 gold setting, putting the material value near €100 and ending the seller’s bid for a dealer card.
• To help viewers spot real stones, Horz demonstrated a simple black‑dot paper test as a quick check for diamond authenticity.
• Journalist Meryl Szerman’s 1930s enamel signs drew a €600–€800 estimate and sold for €700 to Julian Schmitz‑Avila, who immediately offered one to colleague Walter Lehnertz before the broadcast wrapped.
• A circa‑1740 peitschen‑stock identified by expert Colmar Schulte‑Goltz at €1,500–€1,800 ultimately sold to dealer David Suppes for €1,000 after muted bidding.
• A brooch attributed by Dr. Heide Rezepa‑Zabel as a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II carried an €1,800–€2,000 valuation, but Susanne Steiger declined over an altered fitting and Daniel Meyer completed the purchase for €1,200.
