Van Cleef & Arpels pieces can be sold through auction houses, online marketplaces, private buyers, resellers, jewellers or pawnbrokers.

Before deciding how to sell, it’s worth asking yourself:

• What is the original retail price of your Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery?
• How much time, involvement and uncertainty are you comfortable with during the selling process?
• How quickly do you need the funds?

Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery is expensive due to its exceptional craftsmanship, use of high-quality materials and long-standing heritage. Techniques such as the patented Mystery Set, along with meticulous stone selection and hand-finishing, contribute significantly to Van Cleef’s worth.

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.

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.
