Do You have a fortune hidden in Your closet?
Lets have a closer look.
Maybe you have inherited some jewellery from your grandmothers, or bought some gold chains or a small diamond ring when you were in Thailand? Had a boyfriend who was buying your jewellery. Or maybe, you bought some jewellery yourself that you just don’t like anymore.
Let us have a look at your jewellery box, and see if some of your pieces might be worth some money.
First we check if the metal is gold or not.
We look at the small stamps:
The most used stamps for gold are
- 585 – 14 karats gold
- 750 – 18 karats gold
- 916 – 22 karats gold
For platinium it can also be engraved PLAT or PT
You can sell your gold at the average daily gold price, at the moment you get 35 Euros pr gram of gold in 18 karats you sell. And if you have some heavy gold chains or bracelets you might have a small fortune just in gold.
Then we can have a look at the gemstones.
I will examine the gemstones and tell you which ones are real and which ones are fake. If you have diamonds, rubies, emeralds or blue sapphires they could be worth a lot.
You will then have 3 options
- Keep everything as it is.
- Sell the jewellery you don’t wear
- Or redo your jewellery and get some pieces you love.
If you choose to sell your jewellery there are different options, a good option is to go to an auction house and ask them to give you an estimate. If you have signed pieces from Tiffany or Cartier you can sell them at a premium at auctions. Also, antique jewellery from the Art Deco or Art Nouveau area fetches huge prices at auctions.
I will of course advise you to redo your jewellery and make some pieces you will love. And I have LOTS of ideas about how you can reuse your jewellery.
Here are some of the items I have made for clients, reusing their diamonds, and some of the cost were paid by old gold.
All is possible, the only thing I can’t do is reuse your specific gold. The gold will be melted and cleaned, and I will buy new gold to use in your jewellery.

I contacted Trine because I wanted to find a special piece for my wife’s 50 birthday.
With Trine's friendly and personal service, good taste, and understanding of what we were looking for, Trine presented us with a beautiful collection, helping us and our children find the perfect piece for her special day.
We could not have been happier with Trine and are so thankful for all her kind assistance.
I therefore highly recommend Trine’s service and excellent collection if you are looking for something special for your loved ones.
I have known Trine for many years and have always trusted her good taste in both design and quality. When I was looking for the perfect ring it was an easy choice for me to ask Trine to help me.
Trine has a wonderful way of understanding exactly what I am looking for and guiding me in my choice of both diamonds and design.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend. And Trine knows exactly how to set them in the most amazing ways.
During the years I have bought some really nice pieces from Trine, both classical in white gold, but also more daring ones, and she has always made exactly what I was dreaming of.
Trine works with some of the best goldsmiths in Antwerp, and they do an excellent job.

Where do you go to find the perfect diamond engagement ring? I went to Trine, who was recommended to me by common friends. And it was a perfect choice.

My fiancee loves it.
