What we look at
These features affect the value of your jewellery
At Grüne's Leihhäuser, every piece of jewellery is valued individually. How much you can borrow depends on various factors.
-
Precious metal
The precious metal used often forms the basis of the valuation. Gold, silver and platinum differ in material value. Fineness also plays an important role.
-
Weight
The weight of your piece is also taken into account in the valuation. Together with the precious metal, this determines the material value.
-
Gemstones
If gemstones are set in the piece, they are taken into account in the valuation. Depending on their type, size, quality and condition, they can affect the value of the piece.
-
Brand
Jewellery from renowned makers can have additional value beyond its material value. That is why we also take the brand and the specific model into account in the valuation.
-
Workmanship
Craftsmanship also plays a role. High-quality jewellery or elaborately crafted unique pieces can have an effect on the valuation.
-
Condition
The condition of your jewellery is also taken into account. Normal signs of wear are generally not a problem.
Without documents
An invoice or certificate is not always required
Many pieces of jewellery can be pawned even without an invoice or certificate. If you have documents such as receipts, certificates of authenticity or the original packaging, feel free to bring them along. They can support the valuation but are in many cases not a requirement.
What matters is that you can identify yourself with a valid ID document and are entitled to dispose of the jewellery.
