Why appraise a piece of jewelry?

How does Expertise de Bijoux work?

We are able toappraise yellowgold rings, gold pendants, luxury watches, necklaces, earrings, brooches, necklaces, ornaments, and more.Jewelry is appraised on a case-by-case basis. In order toappraise a piece of jewelry, we first need to take note of its characteristics.

Precious metal expertise

Our experts will first identify the precious metal(s) used (yellow gold, white gold, white or pink gold, platinum or silver) and their purity (gold carats or thousandths).

Le Poids du Bijou

After determining the type and quality of the metal used to manufacture the jewel to be appraised, the experts proceed to weigh it. With the weight in grams, we know the exact value of the metal. As professionals, we use precision scales inspected by French customs.

Beyond their monetary value, some jewels have an artistic value that makes them veritable collector's items.

Estimating the jewel's selling price

The experts verify the existence of a second-hand market price, the general condition and the repairs required for resale.
The jewelry appraisal is based on all these parameters, so that we can give you the most accurate valuation of your jewelry.

Gemstone jewelry appraisal

If the jewel is set, precious stones (diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds), gemstones and other ornaments such as cultured pearls and their carat weight are taken into account in thejewel's appraisal.

Appraisal of Antique Jewelry

The period of manufacture can influence the price upwards if collector's jewelry is in demand, valid for both antique and modern jewelry.
Indeed, collectors' interest in antique jewelry is growing. From the faceted gems of the Renaissance to those of the Victorian era, the value of antique jewelry soars in line with its rarity. Modern jewelry also fetches high prices at auction. Theappraisal value of antique jewelry can be very high if it is representative of the taste of a particular period: Art Nouveau, Art Deco, or certain collections. Last but not least, artist's jewels present multiple universes and sometimes very high estimates.

Valuing jewelry by brand

Depending on the reputation of the signature or the brand of the signed jewels, the value of a branded jewel can be multiplied. The brand name, bearing witness to a sometimes ancient know-how, is also of vital importance in estimating the sale price. Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron, Belperron, Bulgari and Mauboussin are among the most sought-after jewelers on the art market.

Estimate of Broken Jewelry, Resaleable ?

A piece of jewelry is valued initially to be resold as is. However, you can resell gold jewelry for the raw materials it contains.
So, selling damaged or broken jewelry is possible for the value of the precious metal of which it is made. Reselling broken or out-of-fashion jewelry is therefore possible for the weight and value of the precious metal.
As these jewels are intended to be melted down, only the purity of the alloy and the final weight count.
