Van Cleef & Arpels: Current Worldwide Prices

Hi everyone- I recognize that this is a forum for “current” worldwide prices, but I’m hoping one of the lovely PF members can help... I have found a white gold, turquoise, 20 motif Alhambra necklace and earrings for sale.

I enquired with VCA and they said the price to clean and authenticate is $1,600(!) but I’d feel it worthwhile since the seller will allow a return should there be a problem. Can someone let me know - what was the Aprox price of the Turquoise Alhambra necklace before it was discontinued 7 years ago? I know there are mark ups for discontinued items but I’d hate to overpay tremendously.

Any help is appreciated... thanks
 
These prices are unjustifiable. The Socrate 3 flower earrings increased $1100 here in Canada. I wanted them but now refuse to purchase them. I cannot justify these price increases anymore. The 20 motif YG necklace increased $900. Ridiculous! As mentioned, about a 4.5% increase.

I know, I am surprised and disappointed about this all. Need to start planting some money seeds stat!
