About Elysée Expertise

How do we determine the value of your jewelry piece?
When evaluating your antique or modern jewelry, we consider several factors. We start by identifying the type of stone in your jewelry, differentiating between diamonds and imitations, and determining whether any colored stones are present.
If the jewelry contains diamonds or precious stones (like emeralds, sapphires and rubies), we can provide an additional evaluation to determine its exact value.
To value a diamond or precious stone, we use the 4 Cs:
“Cut grade” of the diamond
The cut of your diamond determines its final value. Cut shapes include the most valuable, round brilliant, and fancy shapes such as pear, emerald cut, oval, marquise, princess, etc. This also takes into account polish and symmetry.
Color
The color is also taken into account. These differences in color are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but largely determine the value of your diamond. The most valuable color is completely transparent, without any trace of yellow.
Clarity
To determine the purity of a diamond, a 10x magnification magnifying glass is used. This involves examining the impurities inside the diamond, where there may be a presence of crystals or feathers, for example. The purer the diamond, the higher its quality and value. The degree of purity of the diamond depends, among other things, on the size, color and location of the impurity.
Carat
This is the weight of the diamond. This weight comes from the seed of a carob tree, which weighs 0.2 grams and was used in the past as a counterweight on the scales to weigh gems. A carat is therefore equivalent to 0.2 grams or 100 points and is always expressed as a decimal number with 2 decimal places (e.g. 1.50 ct or 150 points).
