How To Sell Your Van Cleef & Arpels Jewelry

Do You Have a Van Cleef and Arpels Watch or Piece of Jewelry to Sell?

For over 125 years the French luxury house Van Cleef & Arpels has crafted some of the most exquisite jewelry in the world, and timepieces have long been a part of their portfolio of creations. An 1895 marriage joined the Van Cleef and Arpels families, and since then The Maison has been producing watches with designs based in nature and drawing inspirations from poetry, art, and celestial bodies.
There is a strong resale market for Van Cleef pieces, including their watches. If you are thinking of selling a Van Cleef and Arpels watch, Precision Watches is your headquarters to guide you through the entire process.

Why are Van Cleef and Arpels Watches and Jewelry So Expensive?

Van Cleef jewelry has adorned some of the most famous people in history, from style icons such as Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy Onassis to actual royalty such as Queen Sofia of Spain and Kate Middleton, the current Duchess of Cambridge. Their watches are crafted from precious metals and gemstones and their designs range from timeless to the fantastical. For example, their Planetarium collection uses enamel dials and precious stones to display planets and constellations which transforms them from mere watches to stunning pieces of art. When a Van Cleef and Arpels piece adorns your wrist, you do not just glance down at it to check the time. Instead, you study the intricacies that blend engineering and artistry and marvel at the craftsmanship that is needed to produce such superb timepieces.

History of Van Cleef and Arpels

Alfred Van Cleef and Estelle Arpels were wed in Paris in 1895, and the following year Alfred and his father in law started a jewelry business. Ten years later, they opened The Maison along with Estelle’s brothers which became a roaring success. The family would open boutiques in European destination cities like Nice and Monte Carlo and became the preferred jeweler of the world’s most stylish people.
Following World War II, part of the family relocated to New York City to grow their business in the United States. They opened their iconic boutique on Fifth Avenue in 1942 where it still operates today.
The Pierre Arpels watch collection was created in 1949 which feature thin, round cases that blend masculine and elegant dimensions in timeless designs. The watch cases are crafted from platinum and gold and feature diamonds in various designs on the dials and bezels.
In 1966 the brand was selected to create a crown for the Empress Farah Pahlavi of Iran for her coronation. The crown featured 1,469 diamonds, 105 pearls, 36 rubies, and 36 emeralds. 1968 saw the creation of the Alhambra collection of ladies watches inspired by the shape of a four leaf clover featuring a variety of precious metals and gemstones.
