Have your jewellery sold on consignment

Some pieces are worth more as jewellery than as metal. We sell those on for you instead of melting them down.

Three old gold rings with ruby, emerald and a small diamond, standing upright on an edge of light travertine

Two options, and you choose

A ring that cost 250 francs might fetch ten when melted down. Sold as a ring, it fetches more.

Buy: money immediately, at the material price

We weigh, test and calculate it for you on the spot. Money in cash or by bank transfer, on the same day. Workmanship, brand and stones don't count towards this.

How the purchase works

Consignment: a higher return is possible, but it takes time

We look for someone who will buy it as jewellery. No one knows in advance whether or when a buyer will come along. You only see your money after the sale.

How a consignment sale works

The first step costs nothing and involves no obligation.

  1. Bring it in

    No appointment needed. We weigh and test, just as for a purchase.

  2. Both figures

    You hear the buying price and the selling price before you decide.

  3. Decide

    A purchase, a consignment, or neither. The valuation stays free either way.

  4. Listing

    Photo, weight, hallmark and condition. Then we wait for a buyer.

  5. Settling up

    After the sale, we pay out your share, with a paper statement.

Five old gold jewellery pieces in a row on light travertine: a sapphire ring, a pearl brooch, a bracelet, drop earrings and a pendant

Which pieces are suitable

  • Probably notBroken gold, single links or earrings, damaged pieces. For these, a straight purchase is the quicker and more honest option.

Frequently asked questions about consignment

Can't find your question? Write to us via WhatsApp.

What does it cost me if the piece doesn't sell?

The valuation costs nothing. Whatever arises during the consignment is governed by the consignment agreement. Commission and term have not yet been set.

How long does it take until my piece is sold?

That can't be promised: a week or months. That's why every consignment has a term, after which the piece is returned to you. Its length has not yet been decided.

Can I change my mind later and sell it after all?

Yes, at that day's material price. How to end a running consignment early is set out in the consignment agreement: {{RUECKNAHME}}.
