Amethyst jewellery set sells for €1,800 on Bares für Rares
A mother and son from Wiesbaden sold an antique amethyst set on the German TV show Bares für Rares.
The set included a bracelet and a brooch, which came into the family through the mother’s aunt.
Experts dated parts of the set to the 1860s and 1870s, while the bracelet was thought to have been made around 1900.
The two amethysts weigh 43 carats in total, and the brooch also has a rose design with small diamonds.
An expert valued the set at €2,200 to €2,300, above the €1,300 the sellers initially hoped to receive.
Bids rose to €1,800 after dealers learned the set’s material value, and the sellers accepted; the show also featured other antiques and collectibles.
