Full guide to selling your Alhambra jewellery: variants, identification and how to prepare the sale.

The decisive criteria

  • The number of motifs and the length of the chain;
  • The material: yellow, white or rose gold, mother-of-pearl, onyx, malachite, carnelian, diamonds;
  • The condition of the motifs (chips, scratches) and of the clasp;
  • The certificate, box and original invoice;
  • The rarity of the edition (limited series, Holiday Pendant).

Frequently asked questions

What is the buy-back price of an Alhambra piece?

For the classic Alhambra, the professional buy-back ranges observed run from €700 to €22,000 depending on the number of motifs, the material and the condition.

Which variant resells best?

The 10-motif necklace and the 5-motif bracelet in yellow gold remain the most requested pieces; the 20- and 34-motif long necklaces reach the highest values.

Is the certificate essential?

No, but it reassures the professional buyer: certificate, box and original invoice clearly improve the offer.

Does a damaged stone cut the value?

A cracked mother-of-pearl or a scratched onyx has to be replaced in an official workshop; the offer is adjusted by the cost of that work.
