People coming from Emsbüren to sell old gold have usually been clearing out rather than collecting: emptying a flat or a chest of drawers, or finding a tin where chains, rings and single earrings have lain mixed together for decades.
The first question is often whether there is any gold at all. We examine everything together, separate genuine gold from plated jewellery and explain how each group was identified.
You then decide piece by piece. Partial sales are normal, and anything important to you goes back to Emsbüren with you.
Estimate your item's material value in advance using our precious metals calculator, free and without registration.
If a hallmark is worn away or absent, we determine purity without damage and free of charge.
Bring the tin exactly as it is. Sorting by purity is our job and costs you nothing.
Crowns and bridges mixed with old gold are common. We account for them separately during the same visit.

Guides
Wearability does not affect the material-based purchase price. Here is what actually matters for old gold from Emsbüren.
A four-gram chain remnant equals an intact four-gram chain of the same purity. The metal is melted down; a clasp or hinge does not change that.
Scratches, dents, missing stones and tarnish do not matter either. Save yourself repairs and polishing: they cost time or money without adding any metal.
Purchased old gold is melted down rather than resold. A Scheideanstalt (precious metal refinery), or precious-metal refinery, separates the metals and recovers them in pure form for reuse.
Dents, scratches, missing clasps and tarnish do not affect material value. Cleaning is unnecessary: it takes time, removes material and adds no weight.
There is a world of difference between genuine old gold and gold-plated costume jewellery. Plated items have an extremely thin coating on base metal, with practically no material value.
We recognise the difference within seconds and tell you openly, rather than offering a token amount for these pieces. Almost every tin contains both types side by side.
A jewellery tin rarely holds only gold. Sterling silver, plated items, costume jewellery and coins usually share the same unsorted box.
We sort the items into groups and weigh each separately, dividing gold by fineness and keeping silver apart. The receipt then lists every group with its weight and amount.
Bring everything at once, including small remnants. Emsbüren lies in southern Emsland between Rheine and Lingen and connects directly to Nordhorn via the A31. In rural communities like this, people rarely sell just one item. More often, they bring what has accumulated in a household over decades. Whether you bring a ring or an entire jewellery box, we take the time to go through everything with you, piece by piece.
Customers from Emsbüren and southern Emsland appreciate personal, discreet advice and immediate payment, without an appointment.

Yes, that is normal. We assess both together but itemise them separately because dental alloys have different compositions.
It depends on purity and the day's rate. A gram of 750 gold contains more than twice as much pure gold as 333, so we weigh and calculate each group separately.
