Answers about selling jewellery

Selling jewellery means that a piece of jewellery is inspected, valued and, if you accept the offer, bought at the branch. The valuation is based on the specific piece presented on site.

You bring the jewellery to a gold buying branch. Material, fineness, weight, condition and other features are checked there. The result is then explained and you decide whether you want to sell.

Selling jewellery is available at the locations Aachen, Düren, Herzogenrath, Würselen and Alsdorf. The branch pages show contact details, opening hours and directions.

Rheinische Edelmetall offers pawn loans at the pawnshops in Aachen and Düren. Herzogenrath, Würselen and Alsdorf are gold buying branches and are not pawnshops.

Jewellery is valued according to material, fineness, weight, condition, authenticity, stones, workmanship and recoverability. For many pieces, the precious metal content is an important factor.

Not always. For many pieces, the material value is decisive. Depending on the piece of jewellery, workmanship, condition, stones, authenticity, brand and recoverability can also play a role.

Fineness describes the precious metal content of a piece. Common gold markings include 333, 585, 750 or 999.

A hallmark can indicate the fineness, but it does not replace professional inspection. Condition, authenticity and material must be checked on site.

Brilliant-cut diamonds, diamonds or gemstones can be taken into account depending on quality, size, condition, setting and marketability. A binding answer is only possible after inspection.

For branded jewellery, brand, model, condition, original documents, box and recoverability can play a role in addition to the material value.

Extensive cleaning is not necessary. Bring the pieces as complete as possible. For delicate jewellery, improper cleaning can be disadvantageous.
