The 14 lots of jewels are not available for visits for security reasons, given that the goods are small and have a high added value. According to the Revenue, the authenticity of precious stones and metals is certified by an expert.

The cheapest lot accepts a minimum bid of BRL 60,000 and has two pure gold chains – one weighing 621.2 grams and the other weighing 373.9 grams. According to the most recent gold quotation on the B3, a gram of the material is worth R$ 314.99.

In addition to gold chains, the volumes to be auctioned contain undilapidated diamonds, apatites, rubellites and emeralds.

The auctioned goods were seized in the baggage sector of the Guarulhos airport, but the details of the seizure are protected by tax secrecy.
