Overview
- Rena and Andreas from Hamburg presented a family armlet set with a very large faceted smoky quartz that Dr. Heide Rezepa-Zabel dated to the 1950s–1960s.
- The expert estimated the piece at about €3,300–€3,400 and noted a gold melt value near €3,100 for the 585-gold construction.
- Coverage concurs that Susanne Steiger bought the armlet, with outlets reporting either a €3,200 deal or a negotiated €3,300.
- Rezepa-Zabel traced the filigree style to Southern Italy and Northern Portugal, suggesting Portuguese manufacture later post-stamped 585 for export.
- The sellers said the proceeds will help fund a planned world trip, as the episode also featured appraisals of an AEG heater, a shell cameo brooch and a Rosenthal fawn.
