How can you tell if a Van Cleef Arpels is real?
1 Answer
To tell if a Van Cleef
Arpels is real, first look at the stamp. On real pieces, you will either see the full maker name, "Van Cleef
Arpels," or the abbreviation "VCA." Some replicas will only display the words "Van Cleef." Most pieces will also have a serial number, which you can cross-reference with information provided by trusted online resources.
Next, examine the details of your piece under a magnifying glass. Genuine Van Cleef Arpels jewelry will be free of imperfections like soldering marks. If you spot any flaws, your jewelry is likely fake.
Because there are many convincing replicas, experts recommend having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer assist you with authentication.
