Your gold purchase at Degussa: How the valuation works
When purchasing gold jewellery, scrap gold or broken gold, the precise determination of the fine gold content is crucial. The value of your jewellery is based on three main factors:- The gold alloy (fineness): The hallmark (the small stamp) on your jewellery indicates the gold content. Common alloys include:
- 750 gold: contains 75.0% pure gold (18 carat)
- 585 gold: contains 58.5% pure gold (14 carat)
- 333 gold: contains 33.3% pure gold (8 carat)
- The weight: The exact weight of the pure gold content (excluding non-precious stones or other materials) is determined using calibrated precision scales.
- The current gold price: The purchase price is based on the current gold price, to which we align our prices transparently and in line with the market.
Important: The emotional value or craftsmanship of a piece of jewellery is generally not compensated in pure precious metal purchasing, as the jewellery is melted down and returned to the precious metals cycle.
Types of gold jewellery we purchase:
We buy all common gold alloys and gold colours, including:- Gold rings (including wedding rings and engagement rings)
- Gold chains, necklaces, pendants and brooches
- Gold bracelets and earrings
- Scrap gold and broken gold
- Gold jewellery with or without gemstones (smaller stones are generally not valued separately)
