Guides
Wearability does not affect the material-based purchase price. Here is what actually matters for old gold from Lingen (Ems).
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.
A single earring, broken pendant or chain offcut often lies unused. For material value, these pieces count in full.
Keep remnants together in a tin rather than throwing individual pieces away. Together they can produce a noticeable weight and payment.
Every household has similar contents: chain remnants without clasps, single earrings, a ring that no longer fits, a broken pendant and unidentified pieces. This is old gold.
There are almost always worthless-material items too, such as plated costume jewellery or rolled gold. We openly separate them rather than weighing them and lowering the gram price.
Bring everything at once, including small remnants. Lingen (Ems) lies in southern Emsland and is an established university and business centre. Even so, many cross the district boundary into Grafschaft Bentheim when it comes to precious metals, because they want to watch the testing and discuss everything directly. Most consider a half-hour drive reasonable for an independent assessment.
Customers from Lingen and Emsland appreciate personal, discreet advice and immediate payment, without an appointment.

333 (8 carat), 585 (14 carat) and 750 (18 carat) are the most common. We check the hallmark and calculate each fineness separately.
No. Bring everything as it is, even tangled in a tin. We sort by purity at the counter and weigh each group separately.
