Whether it's a ring, earrings, a necklace, a bracelet, or a high-quality watch – jewelry doesn't have to be new to be on trend. We are convinced that vintage jewelry, with its special flair and sometimes unique design, remains unsurpassed in terms of individuality and longevity. Second-hand jewelry with a history of good quality is simply timeless. And affordable! That is why we are constantly on the lookout for classic, unique, and unusual vintage jewelry for you, so that we can present you with an ever-growing selection. Because professionally and carefully refurbished, second-hand jewelry has never looked so beautiful or current as it does today. Of course, our master goldsmith breathes new life into the used jewelry pieces with a lot of heart, love, and patience, and refurbishes them for new adventures. It is then up to you to continue telling their story.

But how does vintage jewelry actually make its way into our online shop?

This story begins with the purchase of used jewelry. If a customer who wants to part with their vintage jewelry comes to our store, we carefully examine it. We check the gold alloys using hallmarks and assess any set gemstones or diamonds. After that, the second-hand jewelry undergoes a magnet and acid test. This allows us to determine a fair and adequate purchase price for everyone involved.

Now it is our master goldsmith's turn. First of all, he cleans the used jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner. This makes even the smallest signs of wear and tear visible. You can read more about the proper cleaning of your vintage jewelry here. The stones can also be precisely determined for inclusions, color, and size after intensive cleaning, partly with the help of a refractometer.

After the vintage jewelry has been inspected for the functionality of the clasps, the condition of the links and stone settings, the completeness of the stones, as well as any scratches or damage, and repaired or refurbished if necessary, it receives a new finish. Polished to a high shine, brushed, or hammered - our master goldsmith, with over 50 years of experience, knows exactly which techniques to use to make the formerly used jewelry shine with new brilliance. Now the vintage jewelry can be priced truly objectively and fairly.

Finally, all that remains is to photograph the virtually new vintage jewelry and list it in our online shop with all relevant information, such as alloy, type and quality of stone, size, weight, and craftsmanship.
