Stralsund couple surprises ZDF with a valuable heirloom!
Cornelia and Sebastian Schulze from Stralsund recently had an exciting experience on the popular ZDF show “Bares für Rares”. The couple presented a noble case that housed a bracelet with elaborately crafted ram heads. Moderator Horst Lichter was visibly enthusiastic about the piece, which he described as “hammer”. The historical case and the bracelet have an exciting history, as they were passed down in the Schulze family and the couple is now interested in their origins.
The Schulzes wore summery outfits that day and have been bustling through life together since 2017. Jewelry expert Heide Rezepa-Zabel highlighted the high quality of the chasing and the craftsmanship of the bangle. If you dated the piece of jewelry, you would come to the last third of the 19th century or the early years of the 20th century. Its roots even go back to the Bronze Age, which makes the bangle particularly attractive for collectors.
An unexpectedly high proceeds
Cornelia Schulze originally had a selling price of 200 to 240 euros in mind, an estimate that the expert confirmed. She later valued the entire package of case and bracelet at 350 to 450 euros. In the end, however, an exciting bidding war broke out, with the dealer Friedrich Häusser was particularly impressed by Cornelia. He ended up offering 550 euros, which was more than double the original price.
The couple drove home “relaxed and happy”. They plan to invest the proceeds in a shared meal and a new tree for their garden. A sustainable choice that reflects the trend towards eco-friendly jewelry jewelry box thematised.
Jewelry trends and collectors' interests
In today's jewelry world, classic design plays a central role. Popular eras such as Greek and Roman antiquity, the Renaissance and classicism are very popular. Interesting provenances and unusual designs are not only relevant for collectors, but also for the younger generation, who are increasingly interested in sustainable jewelry. Idealistically inclined, they rely on timeless elegance, combined with modern elements and environmentally friendly materials.
Exclusive jewelry designs inspired by the latest trends emphasize creativity and craftsmanship. Personalized jewelry and minimalist design are particularly well received, while the use of technologies such as 3D printing further increases the designers' creative potential. All of this is evidence of a market that is constantly evolving and offers exciting opportunities for jewelry lovers and collectors.
Congratulations to the Schulzes for their great success! Her adventure into the world of antique jewelry not only told a story, but also spawned new plans for the future.
