Why Did Van Cleef & Arpels Increase Prices in 2025?

Naturally, with any price increase, there are several contributing factors at play. As we’ve all experienced, the cost of living—and the cost of materials—continues to rise at a significant pace. This kind of economic shift creates a ripple effect; in the luxury market, when one element becomes more expensive, it inevitably impacts everything else along the supply chain. Simply put, you can’t change one part without it influencing the whole. For example lets look at this Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra Guilloché 5 Motifs Yellow Gold Bracelet. The retail price has increased 8%. This piece has already been snapped up after we posted on socials about the Van Cleef increase news. 

Many big brands such as Van Cleef & Arpels have historically been rising their prices as a recurring trend, driven by market dynamics and the brand’s luxury positioning. Typically these tend to be increased by around 5-10% every few years.

It’s also important to recognise that part of this price increase aligns with Van Cleef & Arpels’ brand strategy. As a Maison under the Richemont group, VCA regularly adjusts prices to preserve its aura of exclusivity and continue appealing to high-end luxury buyers. However, this year’s rise goes beyond typical brand positioning—there are several undeniable economic and market-driven factors influencing the 2025 increase.

Let's take a look at some of those factors:

1. Rising Raw Material Costs

The prices of precious metals such as gold and platinum along with precious stones like Malachite and Onyx have surged due to global economic uncertainties and increased demand. This rise in raw material costs is causing luxury jewellery brands such as Van Cleef & Arpels, to adjust their prices accordingly. 

2. Supply Chain Challenges

Ongoing supply chain disruptions, exacerbated by global events and increased demand, have led to production challenges. These challenges contribute to higher operational costs, which are reflected in the adjusted pricing of luxury goods. 

3. Currency Fluctuations

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates impact international pricing strategies. To maintain consistency and protect profit margins across different markets, Van Cleef & Arpels has adjusted prices globally.

4. Sustained High Demand

The enduring popularity of Van Cleef & Arpels' iconic collections, such as the Alhambra line, continues to drive demand. This sustained interest allows the brand to implement price increases such as this, while maintaining strong sales.

According to sources the collections we can expect to be effected by these price increases are the Alhambra, Perlée, and Frivole lines. These adjustments are part of a broader trend among European luxury brands, which are leveraging their pricing power to counteract potential tariffs and economic uncertainties.

Analysts note that while brands like Van Cleef & Arpels have room to manoeuvre, years of significant price hikes may limit their ability to pass on additional costs to consumers, particularly in the U.S. market

In summary, the global price increase by Van Cleef & Arpels reflects a combination of rising material costs, supply chain issues, currency fluctuations, and a loyal and robust consumer demand. Don't panic, we know the best place to buy second-hand Van Cleef.
