Platinum may look understated, yet it routinely commands higher resale prices than gold. That premium stems from rareness—annual platinum mine output is barely one‑tenth of gold’s—and from superior durability, making it the metal of choice for wedding bands and top‑tier chronographs. When you decide to monetise a ring or necklace, start by understanding how Berlin’s best buyers evaluate Platin Schmuck.
GOLD ANKAUF BERLIN, A reputable counter performs three tests in front of you. First comes the weight check on a calibrated scale certified by Germany’s metrology office. Next, a portable X‑ray fluorescence gun confirms purity without scratching the surface. Finally, a density float test detects any tungsten or cobalt filling attempts—fake platinum is rare but expensive if missed.
Pricing is pegged to the minute’s fixing on the London Platinum and Palladium Market (LPPM). Dealers aiming to build trust post both the spot price and their buying spread on an in‑store monitor, so you can literally watch the numbers update. Clean alloy pieces (Pt 950 or Pt 900) usually attract deductions below 5 % of melt value; damaged or stone‑set items may incur small handling fees.
To maximise your payout, present original receipts or hallmark photos in advance. These help the appraiser pre‑verify composition and reserve same‑day funds, preventing lowball offers due to “liquidity risk.” Cleaning lightly with a jewellery cloth also avoids weight loss from aggressive polishing at the desk.
Because platinum’s per‑gram price is high, large payouts often exceed Germany’s €9,999 cash limit. Reliable buyers offer instant SEPA transfers so you still leave with cleared funds. They’ll also print a detailed receipt showing weight, fineness, spot reference, and calculation method—a paper trail priceless at tax time.
