Gold buying · Rheinische Edelmetall
Sell gold, jewellery and precious metals.
If you would like to sell gold, jewellery, coins, bars, silver, platinum, palladium or dental gold, Rheinische Edelmetall offers a personal valuation in the branch. We assess your items transparently, explain the calculation clearly and pay out directly on site once you accept the offer.
The current precious metal rate is an important basis. A binding purchase offer, however, always depends on the specific item, fineness, weight, condition, authenticity and realistic resale potential.
Context
Gold buying with personal valuation on site.
Selling gold is a matter of trust. Many items have more than a material value. With jewellery, diamond jewellery, watches, coins, bars or dental gold, condition, workmanship, stones, brand, documents or collector relevance may also matter. That is why we assess your items personally and explain which factors are included in the valuation.
Rate as a basis
The current gold price and precious metal rates help with an initial orientation. The rate value, however, is not automatically the purchase price.
Assessment in the branch
You present your items, we check fineness, weight, authenticity, condition and resale potential on site and explain the valuation in a way you can follow.
Decision after the offer
You decide only after the valuation whether you want to sell. If you do not accept the offer, you take your items back with you.
Process
How gold buying works at Rheinische Edelmetall.
The process is deliberately clear: you bring your items to one of our branches, we assess them professionally, explain the valuation and make you a clear offer.
Bring gold, jewellery or precious metals
Bring the items you would like to have assessed or sell. For inherited jewellery, estates, larger holdings, coin collections, high-value watches or special individual pieces, contacting us in advance is useful.
Assess materials and items separately
We do not treat everything as one flat category. Gold jewellery, scrap gold, coins, bars, dental gold, watches and diamond jewellery may be assessed differently. Depending on the item, we check fineness, weight, authenticity, condition, workmanship, stones, documents, demand and realistic resale potential.
Understand the offer
You find out how the offer is calculated. For precious metals, rate, fineness and weight are important. For jewellery, watches, coins or special individual pieces, condition, marketability, documents and resale potential may also influence the valuation.
Payout after your acceptance
If you accept the offer, the payout is made directly in the branch. If you do not want to sell, you take your items back with you. You decide only after the assessment.
Precious metal rates
Current rates as orientation.
The current precious metal rates for gold, silver, platinum and palladium provide an initial orientation. For a binding purchase offer, however, we always assess the specific item: fineness, weight, condition, authenticity, workmanship and resale potential.

Valuation
Why rate value and purchase price are not the same.
The rate value describes the calculated value of the fine metal contained in an item. A purchase offer also takes the specific item into account: alloy, weight, condition, authenticity, workmanship, stones, demand and realistic resale potential.
Alloy and fineness
333, 585, 750 and 999 gold contain different amounts of fine gold. That is why items with the same weight are not automatically valued the same.
Weight and material
For scrap gold, old gold, coins and bars, weight and fineness are especially important. For combined pieces, we check which parts actually contain precious metal.
Condition and workmanship
Jewellery can be more than material. Workmanship, condition, wearability, stones and resale potential may influence the valuation.
Authenticity and documents
For watches, coins, bars or branded pieces, box, papers, certificates, purchase receipts or service documents may help. The decisive step remains the assessment on site.
Buying
What you can sell to us.
Not every item is valued in the same way. With precious metals, the material value is central; with jewellery, coins, bars, dental gold and watches, condition, demand, documents and resale potential may also matter.
Gold and old gold
We assess gold jewellery, scrap gold, rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other gold items according to fineness, weight, condition and resale potential.
Jewellery and diamond jewellery
With jewellery, material and weight are not the only factors. Workmanship, condition, stones, wearability and resale potential may also matter. Diamond jewellery and high-quality individual pieces are assessed with particular care.
Coins and bars
Gold coins, silver coins, gold bars and silver bars are assessed according to authenticity, fineness, weight, condition and marketability. Collector relevance may also play a role for coins.
Silver, platinum and palladium
Silver, platinum and palladium can also be bought. Form, fineness, weight, condition and the current rate are decisive.
Dental gold
Dental gold can be valued depending on alloy and precious metal content. Because composition and content may vary, an accurate valuation is only possible after the material has been assessed.
Watches and branded pieces
High-quality watches and selected branded pieces are assessed according to brand, model, authenticity, condition, documents and market demand. The original purchase price is not automatically the current market value.
Estates
Have inherited jewellery, estates and larger holdings assessed.
With inherited jewellery, estates or larger holdings, it is often not immediately clear which items are made of gold, silver, platinum or palladium and which pieces may have additional value. We assess the items in an organised way and explain what is included in the valuation.
You do not have to decide in advance which pieces you want to sell. Bring the holding with you or contact us beforehand if there are many items, coin collections, high-value watches or special individual pieces. We will discuss which process makes sense.
Sorted by material
Gold, silver, platinum, palladium, coins, bars, jewellery and watches are not treated as one flat category. A clear separation helps with valuation.
Recognising individual pieces
Some pieces should not only be looked at by material value. Condition, workmanship, brand, stones or collector relevance may be important.
Contact us in advance
For larger holdings, a brief call is useful. This allows the assessment to be prepared and enough time to be planned.

What to bring
What you should bring for gold buying.
For a clear valuation, we need the items themselves and a valid identity document. Additional documents may help, but they are not required for every item.
- gold, jewellery, coins, bars, dental gold or precious metals you would like to have assessed
- valid identity card or passport
- for watches or branded pieces, if available: box, papers, certificates, purchase receipts or service documents
- for coins and bars, if available: certificates, packaging or proof of origin
- for estates or larger holdings: existing lists, documents or sorting notes
Alternative
Sell or borrow against it?
Selling is not always the best solution. If you do not want to sell an item permanently, a pawn loan may be an alternative. You leave the item as security and can redeem it within the agreed term.
If you are unsure, we explain the difference between selling and pawning in the branch. You then decide which option fits your situation better.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about gold buying.
How is the gold price taken into account when buying gold?
The gold price is an important basis, but it is not automatically the purchase price. We also check fineness, weight, condition, authenticity and resale potential of the specific item.
What do 333, 585, 750 or 999 mean in gold?
These numbers indicate fineness. 333 gold contains less fine gold than 585 or 750 gold; 999 gold stands for almost pure fine gold. That is why items with the same weight can be valued differently.
Can I sell gold jewellery without a certificate?
Yes, in many cases selling is possible without a certificate. The decisive factor is the assessment of the material on site. Certificates, purchase receipts or documents may support the valuation, but they are not required for every item.
What is the difference between old gold and jewellery?
Old gold is often valued more strongly according to material value. Jewellery may also be assessed according to condition, workmanship, stones, wearability, brand or resale potential.
Are stones or diamonds considered when buying jewellery?
That depends on the specific piece. With diamond jewellery or high-quality jewellery, we check not only material and weight but also stones, condition, workmanship and resale potential. Not every stone influences the purchase value in the same way.
Do you also buy silver, platinum and palladium?
Yes, silver, platinum and palladium can be assessed and bought depending on form, fineness, weight, condition and the current rate.
Can I sell coins and bars?
Yes, coins and bars can be assessed. We check authenticity, fineness, weight, condition and marketability. Collector relevance may also play a role for coins.
Do you buy dental gold?
Dental gold can be valued depending on alloy and precious metal content. Because composition and content may differ, an accurate valuation is only possible after the material has been assessed.
Can I have inherited jewellery or an estate assessed?
Yes. For inherited jewellery, estates or larger holdings, we assess the items in an organised way and explain which materials and values can be identified. For larger quantities, contacting us in advance is useful.
Do I have to sell everything?
No. You can have individual pieces assessed and then decide what you would like to sell. If you do not accept the offer, you take your items back with you.
When do I receive the money?
If you accept the offer, the payout is made directly in the branch. The exact process is discussed on site.
Do I have to sell immediately?
No. After the assessment, you receive a clear valuation and only then decide whether you want to sell.
Is shipping required?
No. The valuation takes place personally in our branches. You do not have to send your items anonymously.
What if I do not want to sell?
If you do not want to accept the offer, you take your items back with you. If you do not want to sell the item permanently, a pawn loan may be an alternative.
