Adultery Compensation: Fascination Over a Brooch

Infidelity apology artifact: Fascination of Horst Lichter over a brooch - Adultery reparation brooch intrigues Horst Lichter: Fascination expressed

In the latest episode of the popular German TV show "Bares für Rares," a 60-year-old TV coordinator from Munich named Marina Conte brought a unique piece of jewelry to the auction block. The brooch in question, a "timeless diamond brooch" with 48 brilliant-cut diamonds, was made by the prestigious jewelry house Calderoni based in Milan.

According to Marina, the brooch has a significant history. It was given to her mother in 1972 as compensation for her father's wild marriage of eleven years in traditionally Catholic Southern Italy. The brooch represents a kind of atonement for adultery in Italian culture.

Expert Patrick Lessman dated the brooch to the 1970s, and his estimate for its value was between 7,500 to 8,500 euros. However, the brooch did not fetch such a high price during the auction. Susanne Steiger started the bidding at 2,000 euros, but neither she nor Fabian Kahl were willing to spend more than 4,000 euros.

Marina had set her desired price for the brooch at 10,000 euros, but the show's experts deemed this price unrealistic. Expert Lessmann agreed, stating that the brooch's value was more likely to be in the range of his estimate.

Despite the lower-than-expected bids, Marina decided to take the brooch back home due to its sentimental value. She believes that beautiful jewelry pieces in Italian culture are often the compensation for some kind of pain.

The original owner of the brooch has not been identified in the provided search results. The show "Bares für Rares" was hosted by Horst Lichter, and both Susanne Steiger and Fabian Kahl were also interested in the brooch but held their bids.

This episode of "Bares für Rares" serves as a reminder of the unique stories that lie behind many pieces of jewelry and the varying opinions that experts can have regarding their value.
