Selling jewelry - tips & tricks

Recognize the value before selling the jewelry

Check the authenticity or value of your jewelry with an expert before you make a scrap gold valuation appointment.

The hallmark on your jewelry indicates the highest precious metal content in the alloy and indicates the authenticity of the jewelry. It usually consists of three digits.

Example: If your gold ring says “585”, then 585 of 1000 parts in the ring are made of pure gold. The remaining parts are other alloy components.

If your piece of jewelry is somewhat older or from abroad, the hallmark could also be titled with a carat such as 8 k. The highest purity 999 is 24 k. When converted, 8 k would therefore mean a fineness of 333.

What happens to your old jewelry that you sell to philoro

The jewelry sold to philoro is taken to the philoro GOLDWERK, the refinery in Korneuburg near Vienna. There, the jewelry is melted down and recycled into new investment bars or semi-finished products (such as granulate or ring blanks) for further processing in the jewelry industry.

By selling your jewelry, you are making a valuable contribution to the environment.

Environmental contribution: All precious metals are returned to the value cycle and recycled.
Lower CO2 footprint: Recycling is much more energy-efficient than mining primary gold.
Conserving resources: By selling jewelry to philoro, you support the careful use of scarce resources.

Long-lasting memories - selling jewelry with emotional value

Whether it's a family heirloom, an emotional gift or jewelry bought for a special occasion, we often associate these treasures with memories that we don't want to part with easily. That's why we recommend that you create new memories from old ones and invest the money from the jewelry sale well.

New investments from dusty pieces of jewelry

Saving for special events: Are you planning a major investment such as buying a car or a home, or would you like to invest money for the future of your children or grandchildren? Then selling jewelry could form the basis for this investment. In addition to conventional savings accounts, in which the money is parked and even reduced in value depending on interest rates, there are other investment options such as the philoro PRECIOUS METAL SAVINGS PLAN. With this plan, you can invest an amount from €25 per month in the precious metals gold, silver, platinum and palladium and thus invest bit by bit in a golden future.
Investing in precious metals: Precious metals such as gold have a lasting value and offer great potential for appreciation. This is why coins or bars made of the precious metals gold, silver, platinum or palladium are particularly suitable for a future-proof investment that can be passed on to future generations.
Give the gift of memories: Give the gift of joy to others and use the money from the jewelry sale to make a beautiful, shiny present.
Create new experiences: Replace the value of the memento with an experience, such as a trip with your family or a trip you've always wanted to take. Even a small adventure such as a hot air balloon ride or a parachute jump could remind you of the sale of the jewelry in the long term.
Buy an item as a memento: Replace the unworn jewelry with something you use regularly. This could be new jewelry, such as a watch that you can wear every day and that suits your style. Or invest in an everyday item such as a decorative object or a beautiful, valuable wall clock that you can remember every time you look at it.
