Current gold buying prices

Close to the gold rate - the price comparison pays off

On our website you will always find an overview of our current buying and selling prices for gold & silver, as well as the prices for specific coins and bars.

Our purchase prices for jewelry made of gold, silver and Co. are based on the general gold price or silver rate. For jewelry made of gold and silver, dental gold remnants or cutlery we currently pay in the purchase depending on the alloy per gram.

With this price info you can - even before you have your pieces professionally appraised - make an initial estimate yourself based on the carat number of your scrap gold as well as the weight of the pieces:

Jewelry is usually made of 585 gold, which is 14 carat, or 750 gold, which is 18 carat. In gold jewelry, the fineness is usually stamped in the form of a hallmark. Both the karat number - e.g. "14 kt." - as well as the fineness in thousand parts, e.g. "585". Such a hallmark can be found on the inside of rings and usually on the clasp of necklaces or pendants.

Basically, the higher the karat number, the higher the purchase price per gram.

Compare the gold purchase prices of several suppliers - also on the Internet

Before you sell your gold, it is always advisable to compare the gold purchase prices per gram beforehand. Ideally, you should obtain the various offers within a few days, as the gold price sometimes fluctuates greatly. Only then are the prices for jewelry, gold coins and gold bars really comparable.

If you are not under pressure to sell, it may also be worthwhile to observe the prices of several gold dealers over a longer period of time. Thanks to the Internet, this is very easy. As a rule, you will find that not every dealer publishes prices on the website and the gold price for jewelry, gold coins -and bars can vary greatly. This is often not a good sign and does not necessarily indicate seriousness.

Current gold rate: How are gold purchase prices determined?

Beim Ankauf wir der aktuelle Goldpreis aufgrund des Reinheitsgrad bzw. Goldgehalts Ihrer Stücke bestimmt:  So erhalten Sie für 999er Gold (z.B. 1 Feinunze Wiener Philharmoniker oder ein Goldbarren mit 1 Unze) selbstverständlich mehr Geld als beispielsweise für Altgold bzw. Bruchgold wie z. B. Schmuck, der oftmals aus 14 Karat besteht (585er Gold = 58,5% Goldgehalt).

Dabei macht es keinen Unterschied, ob es sich um Ketten, Ringe, Uhren oder Erbschmuck handelt oder ob sie Rotgold, Weißgold oder Gelbgold besitzen: Das ändert die Goldankauf Preise für Schmuck mit 14 Karat nicht, denn der Goldanteil ist in jedem Fall 585/1000 (58,5%). Neben der Karätigkeit sind für den Ankaufspreis das Gewicht und der tagesaktuelle Goldkurs entscheidend.

In summary, the gold price results as follows:

Weight (gram) x fineness (e.g. 58.5%) x current gold rate in euros.

This principle is also used to calculate the purchase price for pieces of silver.

When is the best time to buy or sell gold?

There are many factors that influence the price of gold and silver. Supply and demand, changing rates between EUR/Dollar, the interest rate policy of the central banks or the mood on the stock exchanges are a few factors that can be mentioned here.

Whether right now is a good time to buy or sell gold is ultimately for you to decide. But we can help you with the advice. Ask in the store for the current gold chart - our staff will be happy to explain all the details.

How do I find a reputable gold buyer?

When comparing several gold dealers, you should not only focus on the purchase price, but also consider other criteria:

• Does the jeweler or precious metal dealer make a serious impression on you?
• Is the appraisal of their pieces free of charge?
• Are there already positive customer opinions on the Internet (google!), based on which you can expect a smooth purchase transaction?
