How to Spot a VCA jewelry real or fake

Fake van cleef & arpels bracelet is an iconic and beloved luxury jewelry brand. But its popularity means Maison’s designs are frequently (and usually poorly) copied and peddled as the real thing. Stay sharp with our top five red flags that may mean those Van Cleef & Arpels jewels are fake.

The most important and difference between real and fake is in Trademarks and other markings:

When it comes to Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry markings, there are three main things you want to look for; a metal hallmark, a trademark and a serial number. The trademark will appear either as “Van Cleef & Arpels” or simple “VCA.” Many fakes include a fraudulent trademark that reads as “Van Cleef”, so if you see that, it’s a major warning sign that you’ve got a fake on your hands.

Where the signature stamp is placed depends on the type of piece you have. For earrings, you’ll find it on the ear clip (one or both), for rings, it will appear inside the shanks, and Alhambra’s collection contains stamps that are placed on the clover station nearest to the clasp.

As for the metal hallmark, this is fairly easy, since Van Cleef & Arpels exclusively uses 18 karat gold. The hallmark for 18 karat gold is “750”, so that’s the number you’ll always see on an authentic Van Cleef & Arpels piece.
