Treasure from the drawer: couple surprised by the value of gold jewelry!
A remarkable appearance on the popular ZDF program “Bares für Rares” caused moving emotions last week. The couple Ilona and Bernd Kogranski from Johannisberg, Hesse, brought with them gold jewelry from the 1960s that had been lying untouched in a drawer for so long. The couple was now eagerly awaiting the expert opinion on their well-preserved necklace and bracelet, which Bernd purchased for his sister in Tehran. The nilai from Patrick Lessmann, the show's jewelry expert, surprised the Kogranskis and visibly moved them to tears. According to [Fuldaer Zeitung](https://www.fuldaerzeitung.de/panorama/schublade-sorge-fuer-traenen-bei- Paar-hessen-bares-fuer-rares-zdf-goldschatz-93789231.html), the jewelry with 900 gold and hawk-eye gemstones is estimated at 4,100 to 4,200 euros.
For the Kogranskis, the gold jewelry was not only a material value, but also carried emotional memories, as it had been a forgotten heirloom for a long time. “It's just nice to hear what it's worth,” Ilona remarked upon hearing the assessment. Her initial wish of 1,500 euros was far exceeded, and the joy of the sale was unmistakable. In the dealer's room, Susanne Steiger finally secured the piece for 4,100 euros, which visibly satisfied the couple.
Pieces of jewelry with history
“Cash for Rares” has developed into a platform that not only promotes the collection of antique finds and heirlooms, but also shows the stories behind these objects. As Thüringen24 describes, jewelry in particular often causes surprises. The Hesse couple from Stuttgart brought a platinum bracelet into the shipment, which was ultimately sold in the bidding war for 6,700 euros. This shows how important the expert assessment by Patrick Lessmann is, which forms the basis for successful sales.
Thanks to the many years of experience and the free valuations that such formats offer, many people can get an idea of the value of their treasures. The Goldwechselhaus is an example of providers who specialize in the valuation of gold and silver items and provide valuable information on collectibles or jewelry. There, interested parties can discuss their valuables with an expert in an uncomplicated and non-binding manner.
The emotional moments and financial successes in “Cash for Rares” show that many people often have treasure in their drawers just waiting to be discovered. Whether it's old gold jewelry, a forgotten inheritance or another collectible item - a little courage to open the drawer can quickly prove to be worth it.
