Sell Van Cleef & Arpels Jewelry in 3 Proven Steps Today

Sell Van Cleef & Arpels Jewelry with Confidence

There are a handful of legendary jewelry houses whose pieces have been revered and highly-desirable throughout the modern era. Few – if any – can claim to have been as innovative andinspirational as Van Cleef & Arpels. VCA’s iconic jewelry not only stands the test of time, it has been instrumental in shaping the course of “signed” jewelry through the 20th century and into the 21st.

That makes it easy to understand why only two other giants of the industry, Cartier and Tiffany, can challenge Van Cleef & Arpels when it comes to the resale value of their pieces. The bottom line? If you have purchased VCA jewelry in the past, or have pieces which belonged to an estate collection passed down through your family, you have some very valuable items in your possession.

Our high-end clientele at Dimorras wants to purchase high-end jewelry, so we need a constant supply of quality pieces. The bottom line: anyone who wants to sell Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry to us will receive higher offers and payouts than can be found anywhere else. Pawn shops, resale shops and jewelry stores that purchase pre-owned jewelry have no real motivation to pay high prices, since the items they buy usually just sit on their shelves and gather dust for a long period of time. Those dealers often don’t even understand the hidden value of the pieces they purchase.

That’s the Dimorras difference. We inspect and appraise luxury jewelry, including designer pieces from Van Cleef & Arpels, on a daily basis. We can determine the items’ true value because we are completely familiar with the detailed history of the VCA product line and the limited edition pieces the company has produced. And we have a number of eager clients who will purchase the jewelry as soon as we make it available, so we can offer the highest prices to those selling Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

If you’re in the latter group, we invite you to take the first step by filling out our online preliminary evaluation request form. It’s free, simple and confidential, and will give you a good idea of what your VCA pieces are really worth on the open market.

Honest Evaluations of Van Cleef & Arpels Jewelry

It’s always illuminating to get an honest estimate of your jewelry collection’s worth. Our Dimorras online evaluation system is designed specifically for that purpose – and to let you take the next step if you decide you might like to sell the Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry you own. We’ll give you complete instructions and pay all of the associated costs (including insurance) to ship your pieces to our facilities for an expert appraisal and firm offer within days. You can either accept the payout and we’ll have the cash in your hands in 48 hours or less, or we’ll pay to return the pieces to you immediately. It’s a no-lose process with a big upside.

We should also mention that it’s not just one-of-a-kind, limited edition, vintage or antique jewelry that we would like to purchase. We are interested in acquiring whatever previously-owned VCA pieces are in your collection, even if they’re recent purchases or not in prime condition. If you’re selling Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry, we would like to buy it.

Van Cleef & Arpels History

Anyone even superficially familiar with VCA’s long history can understand the appeal of the company’s designer jewelry. It is delicate and creative, timeless yet innovative, and perhaps the most unique jewelry ever created.

From Van Cleef & Arpels’ earliest years as an early 20th century jewelry house on the Place Vendôme in Paris, the company has focused on cutting-edge approaches to design while emphasizing the artistry inherent in fine jewelry. For example, VCA experimented with a strangely beautiful line of wooden jewelry in 1916 and was among the first to incorporate the sensibilities of Asian art into its 1920s designs. Van Cleef & Arpels’ Art Deco pieces are perhaps their most revered of all, as VCA design artists mixed the use of geometric shapes with luxurious and often over-the-top colorful displays of precious stones, to release the Art Deco era’s most seminal works.

It was during this time that another of Van Cleef & Arpels’ innovations shook the jewelry world, an invisible setting which allowed the display of stunning gemstones in previously-unseen swaths of color on a metal setting completely hidden by the jewels. Vintage and antique VCA pieces created with this approach, known as a “mystery setting,” easily bring hundreds of thousands of dollars in today’s resale market. It’s not just older VCA invisible-setting jewelry which is worth substantial sums, though; one earrings-and-brooch set featuring ruby and diamond flowers on a mystery setting, created in 2000, recently sold at auction for more than three-quarters of a million dollars.

More “ordinary” Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry (if there is such a thing) is also extremely valuable today, thanks to the company’s uninterrupted reign as a landmark jewelry designer – and the never-ending public exhibition of VCA’s works in museums, in palaces and on the red carpet. 20th century celebrities from Marlene Dietrich, Princess Grace, Jackie Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor, to 21st century celebs like Kate Bosworth, Kirsten Dunst and Mariah Carey have proudly and regularly shown off their Van Cleef & Arpels pieces in public, keeping VCA in the public’s eye and adding to the mystique of the brand.

Today, Van Cleef & Arpels maintains its original location in Paris along with a number of boutiques and stores around the world, yet operates many fewer retail locations than most other high-end jewelry houses. VCA also charges some of the highest prices of any luxury jewelry designer for its retail pieces. These two facts also explain the high demand, desirability – and residual value – of the company’s designs.

Anyone who tests the previously-owned jewelry market with VCA pieces quickly finds that their collection is extremely valuable. Those who choose to sell Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry to Dimorras find that their collection is worth even more than they have been told by local jewelers, because we offer higher payouts than anyone else for pre-owned VCA jewelry of any vintage and in any condition. We invite you to discover the Dimorras difference for yourself.
