How to Sell Jean Schlumberger Jewelry with Confidence
Selling a Jean Schlumberger piece is not simply a transaction — it’s a transfer of artistry and legacy.
When you pass on a jewel with intention, you’re not losing it. You’re allowing its story to continue — to adorn someone new, in a new chapter, with new meaning.
To rehome an heirloom is not to part with the past. It is to pass on the poetry.
Whether you’re rehoming a beloved jewel or managing an estate, choosing the right buyer makes all the difference. At Maison Fraise, we honor these decisions with care, clarity, and discretion.
1. Understand What You Own
Schlumberger designs for Tiffany & Co. are among the most collectible jewels in the world. Key factors that affect value include:
The design’s rarity (e.g. Bird on a Rock, paillonné enamel, rope or leaf motifs)
Stone quality (diamond or colored stone centerpieces, especially investment-grade stones like ruby, emerald and sapphire or rare colored gemstones such as paraiba, tsavorite and other Tiffany legacy gemstones)
Condition, provenance, and presence of original boxes or certificates
Signatures and serial numbers (e.g., Schlumberger Studios, Tiffany & Co., PT950, 750)
2. Work with a Specialist
Selling to a general gold buyer or auction house may not maximize your return. Instead, seek a buyer who understands the aesthetic and emotional value of Schlumberger, and has the network to place it well. That’s where Maison Fraise comes in.
3. Know the Market
Schlumberger’s popularity has surged in recent years, with strong global demand from collectors, especially for signed vintage pieces and those with vivid colored gemstones. A fair offer should reflect this, not just the weight of gold or diamonds, but the piece’s artistic and historic relevance.
4. Ask Questions
At Maison Fraise, we encourage questions. How is value assessed? Who buys the piece after acquisition? What happens to it? We’re transparent, and we believe sellers should be empowered, not pressured.
5. Trust the Process
We offer discreet private evaluations, clear communication, and informed offers. Our founder, a seasoned collector and gemologist-in-training, personally reviews every piece.
You are not just selling a jewel — you are passing on a legacy. Let it go into the right hands.
What Collectors Look for in Signed Schlumberger Pieces
Jean Schlumberger’s creations for Tiffany & Co. are some of the most sought-after jewels in the world, and discerning collectors know what to look for.
Here are the qualities that make a Schlumberger piece not only desirable, but unforgettable:
1. The Signature
Collectors seek pieces signed “Schlumberger” or “Schlumberger Studios”, with matching serial numbers when possible. Original stamps like PT950 or 750 for platinum and gold add further authenticity and value.
2. Iconic Designs
Certain motifs are especially beloved: the Bird on a Rock, leaf and rope earrings, paillonné enamel bangles, sixteen stone rings, and whimsical animal brooches. These classics consistently command attention in the market.
3. Stone Quality & Color
Whether it’s a vivid colored gemstone or diamond, collectors appreciate vibrant, well-cut stones set in Schlumberger’s fluid designs. Unusual color combinations and high clarity can significantly enhance appeal.
4. Craftsmanship & Condition
Exceptional craftsmanship is part of what makes Schlumberger so legendary. Collectors pay close attention to condition, especially enamel work, diamond settings, and the original mechanics of ear clips and clasps.
5. Provenance & Packaging
Original signed boxes, pouches, and paperwork elevate the emotional and market value. A piece with provenance, even a handwritten note or boutique receipt, adds context and charm that collectors prize.
At Maison Fraise, we recognize these nuances and curate with intention. If you’re considering selling a Schlumberger jewel, know that we value not just the materials, but the soul and significance behind them.
If you’re considering selling a signed Jean Schlumberger piece, you’ve likely wondered whether an auction house is the best route. At Maison Fraise, we work with clients who have asked this very question, and we believe that making an informed decision starts with understanding the full picture.
The Promise (and Pitfalls) of Auctioning
Auction houses like Sotheby’s or Christie’s are known for their prestige and global reach. It’s true that exceptional Schlumberger jewels have achieved impressive results at major sales, especially rare pieces with exceptional investment-grade gemstones and diamonds.
But here’s what sellers aren’t always told upfront:
Fees can be significant, often totaling up to 40–50% once you factor in seller’s commission, photography, marketing, and buyer’s premiums.
Wait times are long — it may take 6–8 months just to reach auction, plus additional time to receive payment.
No guarantees — if your reserve isn’t met, you may still owe fees, or you may be pressured to lower your minimum.
Online Auctions: Faster, but Still Risky
Online jewelry auction sites may offer quicker timelines and lower fees — but they come with trade-offs:
Bidders are often resellers and dealers, not private collectors.
Your piece may not get the specialist attention or positioning it deserves.
Reserve prices are often discouraged or not honored if bidding is soft.
Selling through these platforms can sometimes result in undervaluation — especially for nuanced pieces like Schlumberger, where artistry, condition, and provenance matter as much as material.
A Private Alternative: Maison Fraise
At Maison Fraise, we offer an alternative to auctioning: a discreet, respectful, and collector-informed acquisition process. We specialize in Jean Schlumberger jewelry for Tiffany & Co. and understand both its market value and its emotional significance.
Why clients choose us:
No waiting. No uncertainty. We provide prompt, informed offers, often within 2–3 business days. We pay in cash upfront with no hidden conditions.
No hidden fees. Our evaluations are complimentary, and there’s no obligation to sell.
You deal directly with the buyer. No middlemen, no commissions — just transparency and trust.
If you’re seeking a fair, thoughtful, and efficient way to sell your Schlumberger jewel, Maison Fraise offers what auctions often can’t: Confidence, clarity, and care.
When an Auction Might Make Sense
While Maison Fraise specializes in discreet private acquisitions, it may be the case that for certain extraordinary jewels, particularly those with strong provenance, coveted investment-grade gemstones, or rare Jean Schlumberger designs, a public auction may indeed achieve an exceptional result. In such cases, the competitive bidding environment could work in your favor.
That’s why we offer a tailored concierge service for clients whose pieces are best suited to the auction world. If appropriate, Maison Fraise can act as your personal representative, managing every detail from auction house selection and consignment preparation, to photography, paperwork, shipping, and reserve negotiations. You enjoy peace of mind while we ensure your jewel is presented to its best advantage on the global stage.
Of course, auctions come with trade-offs: uncertain final prices, longer timelines, and potential seller’s fees. Results can also be heavily influenced by global market conditions and shifting collector demand, making timing and presentation crucial. Many of our clients prefer the certainty, discretion, and immediate liquidity we offer through private sale. That said, we are always candid in our recommendations, and proud to guide you either way with the same level of care, discretion, and expertise.
If you are considering your options, get in touch with us to arrange a complimentary private consultation. We are here to help you choose the best path forward for your jewel.
