Bares für Rares Week: Sharp Valuation Gaps, On‑Air Wins, and Dealer Makeovers

Recent segments show prices set by gold content, gemstone quality, plus current taste.

Overview

  • Simone Martini and Joachim Paul’s 1970s necklace drew an expert estimate of €3,000–€3,200 versus their roughly €8,000 hope, leading host Horst Lichter to withhold a dealer card as they declined to sell.
  • Ingrid Maddaus’s charm bracelet, expected at €250 by the owner, was appraised at €3,500–€3,600, prompting online comments that criticized poor prep on basic gold value.
  • Thomas Wundenberg’s 1930s gold bracelet and ring were valued at €4,200–€4,500 and sold on air to dealer Fabian Kahl for €4,650, with the pieces headed to Schloss Brandenstein.
  • A brooch convertible to a pendant, dated circa 1910–1925 and totaling 6.67 carats in stones, carried an expert valuation of €7,000–€8,000 and sold for €6,300 to Julian Schmitz‑Avila after active bidding.
  • Dealer Lisa Nüdling detailed a common practice by remaking a €750 gold collier into long earrings at a €600 workshop cost and planning a €2,300 shop price.
