Overview

• Sellers with a sapphire–diamond ring quit the studio after expert Heide Rezepa-Zabel valued it at €3,000–3,500 despite a prior report citing €11,800, citing lower sapphire prices since the 1990s.
• Wendela Horz exposed a supposed diamond as zircon using electronic testing and offered a simple paper ‘black dot’ check, leaving the piece worth only its roughly €100 gold value.
• A brooch linked to Kaiser Wilhelm II was authenticated but noted with a replaced pin; estimated at €1,800–2,000, it ultimately sold to Daniel Meyer for €1,200 as Susanne Steiger declined to bid.
• A pair of 1930s enamel signs estimated at €600–800 sold for €700 to Julian Schmitz-Avila, who then resold one to Walter Lehnertz before the broadcast ended.
• Another seller withdrew an 1890s diamond stabbrooch attributed to A. Fischer & Co. after Horz’s €2,000 valuation fell short of their €2,700 minimum.
