From submission to appraisal – the process explained
The value of gold and silver is mainly about two things: weight and metal content. Our process is designed to make this as accurate, secure, and transparent as possible.
When jewelry no longer has a natural place in daily life, many choose to let it find new life in a different form.
By selling unused gold and silver, its value can be put to use again – either by providing financial flexibility for new experiences or as a conscious choice for recycling. Simultaneously, the metal returns to the circular economy and can become part of new jewelry, coins, or other products.
Receiving an appraisal provides clarity, and the choice is always yours. For some, it is about decluttering; for others, it is about letting go; and for many, it is both.
1. We receive your gold or silver
When you deliver or send in jewelry, cutlery, or other items, we register the shipment so it can be tracked by our systems throughout the entire process.
2. We verify metal type and quality
Next, our experts verify the actual composition of the items. We check hallmarks indicating gold or silver content and double-check their accuracy. This is crucial, as the value depends on how much pure metal the item contains.
You are welcome to use our price calculator in advance to get an estimate, but the final appraisal is always conducted by us once we open the package.
3. We weigh the metal
Once the metal type and quality are confirmed, we weigh the items. It is the weight of the gold or silver, combined with the metal content, that forms the basis for the valuation.
4. Value is calculated based on current gold and silver prices
The payout is calculated based on:
- Confirmed metal content.
- Weight.
- The applicable market price for gold or silver at the time of appraisal.
The price follows the international market and is updated continuously.
5. You receive an offer and payment
Once the appraisal is complete, you will receive an offer based on actual measurements. If you approve this, we ensure a fast and secure payment to your designated account.
6. The metal returns to the circular economy
Following settlement, the metal is melted down and returns to the circular economy as raw material for new products – such as coins, bars, jewelry, or industrial purposes. In this way, the material is given new life, even if the jewelry is no longer in use.
