Van Cleef & Arpels Preliminary Assessment
Sell Your Van Cleef & Arpels Jewellery in Istanbul
To sell, trade or consign Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery, share the collection, motif count, stone, gold colour, certificate and photographs through the jewellery assessment form. The ART Jewellery & Watches team reviews Alhambra, Perlée, Frivole and other Van Cleef & Arpels pieces and, where appropriate, arranges an appointment at Zorlu Center, Istanbul.
Alhambra Motifs and Stones
In the Alhambra collection, the size, motif count and stone identify the piece; Vintage Alhambra, Sweet Alhambra and Magic Alhambra come in different sizes. For necklaces and bracelets, enter the number of motifs, the stone, such as onyx, mother-of-pearl, carnelian or malachite, and the gold colour in the form.
Signature, Serial Number and Certificate
On Van Cleef & Arpels pieces, the signature, gold hallmark and serial number are usually found on the clasp or the back of a motif. Clear photographs of these areas, together with the certificate, box and proof of purchase, make the assessment easier. Note any scratches, chips or colour differences in the stones.
Sale, Trade and Consignment
The suitable route depends on the collection, motif and stone combination, condition, set and market demand. For limited stone and colour combinations, the papers matter in particular. Submitting the form does not create an offer; final terms are agreed after the piece has been examined.
Van Cleef & Arpels Selling FAQ
One stone in my Alhambra necklace is chipped. Can I still sell it?
It can still be assessed. Mention the damaged stone in the form and photograph it in close-up; any repair needed is reflected in the assessment after physical inspection.
Can a Van Cleef & Arpels piece without a certificate be assessed?
Yes. The signature, serial number, hallmarks and craftsmanship are checked during the physical inspection; add any proof of purchase you have.
Can I receive a final price from photographs?
Photographs are for a preliminary assessment. The stone quality, gold and hallmarks are confirmed once the piece is examined in hand.
Can I trade in my Van Cleef & Arpels piece?
You can select trade-in on the form. Suitability depends on the piece offered and the current availability of the item you want.
