How is jewellery valued?
Jewellery valuation considers factors like the quality and size of gemstones, the type of metal, the designer, and its historical provenance. The 673 diamonds and its connection to Queen Nazli and Van Cleef & Arpels all contribute to the necklace's $4 million estimated value. Valuations can fluctuate over time.
