The Secondary Market for Signed High Jewelry: Cartier, Van Cleef, and Boucheron in Geneva
Geneva is the meeting ground for worldwide jewelry connoisseurs. When appraising pieces by iconic Maisons, intrinsic metal weight is secondary to brand heritage, provenance, and collector demand.
The Sovereign Maisons of Place Vendôme and Geneva
Creations by Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels (such as the Alhambra and Mystery Set collections), Boucheron, Chaumet, Bulgari, and Chopard command immediate global interest. Signed pieces with original hallmarks and serial numbers regularly sell at significant multiples of their raw material value.
