Is Van Cleef real gold?
Many ask, ‘What gold does Van Cleef use?’ Van Cleef & Arpels only uses 18 carat gold in its production and marks its pieces with ‘750’ or ‘Au750’. The hallmark sits in different locations on each different style. For example, if you would like to check the authenticity of an Alhambra necklace, the hallmark will be found near the clasp on the chain.
What is the Van Cleef & Arpels Mystery setting?
The Mystery Setting is a trademarked technique, developed by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1933, to have gemstones in a flowing line without any visible metal holding them in place. Stones are grooved and slid onto rails that create a lattice beneath, making the precious stones appear to float.
How can you tell a fake Van Cleef?
Authentic Van Cleef pieces are stamped with ‘Van Cleef & Arpels’ or ‘VCA’. You will also see a gold stamp, ’750’ or ‘Au750’, to reflect that the gold used in the piece is 75% pure, therefore 18ct gold – the brand’s gold of choice. Read our article on spotting Van Cleef dupe jewellery.
What does Van Cleef Alhambra mean?
The Alhambra design is an integral part of the Van Cleef Arpels brand and brings together nature’s influence in a four-leaf clover shape and the traditional Moorish quatrefoil. The Alhambra collection is one of Van Cleef’s most popular collections and can demand the highest resale prices.

Sales Channels
Jewellers & Pawnbrokers
This is often the fastest and most straightforward route. Once your Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery has been authenticated and valued, payment is typically made immediately. This option prioritises speed, certainty and discretion, with minimal involvement required from the seller.
Auctions
Auction houses can achieve strong results, particularly for higher value, rare, limited-edition or highly desirable Van Cleef & Arpels pieces. However, fees apply, and there is no guarantee that your piece will sell or achieve the expected price.
Online – eBay
Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery can be harder to sell privately online due to buyer concerns around authenticity. You are also responsible for photography, listings, communication, shipping and managing any disputes. However, online platforms do provide access to a wide audience and give you control over pricing.
Seller Fees
Auction houses and consignment stores typically charge commissions of around 10–20% to cover marketing, insurance and administration. Online marketplaces may charge lower or variable fees, but the workload sits entirely with the seller. Jewellers buying outright generally do not charge fees; instead, their offer reflects current market demand and resale expectations.
Expertise, Trust and Confidentiality
When selling Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery, who you sell to matters. Established jewellers and recognised auction houses have the expertise to assess authenticity accurately and handle valuable pieces with appropriate care and confidentiality.
Understanding Market Value
Knowing what your Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery is realistically worth in today’s market is key to achieving a successful sale. Professional buyers base valuations on a combination of recent transaction data, current demand and the condition of the piece, including the desirability of well-known collections such as Alhambra, Perlée and Frivole.
