The History Of Paloma Picasso Jewelry
As the daughter of artists Pablo Picasso and Francoise Gilot, Franco-Spanish designer Paloma Picasso was destined for greatness. Paloma's entry into the jewelry scene began in 1968, working as a costume designer in Paris. With rhinestones bought from flea markets, Paloma created a necklace that was well received by critics. Following this success, Paloma enrolled in school for jewelry design. When she showed her designs to her friend Yves Saint Laurent, he commissioned her to design accessories to accompany his collection.
Paloma Picasso was originally asked by Tiffany & Co. to design a table setting for an exhibition in 1979. Just a year later, she joined the luxury jewelry house and imbued her love of bold shapes and colour into every creation. Paloma is credited with leading the vibrant gemstone trend of the 1980s, as her designs embraced stones that were not favored by the industry at the time. One of her most celebrated collections is Palomas Graffiti, inspired by urban street art. While many were enraged by widespread graffiti on the streets, Paloma explained that she sought to turn this urban art into something positive. Paloma has celebrated nearly 40 years with Tiffany & Co. where she delights the jewelry world with her bold creations.
What Is Paloma Picasso Jewelry Worth?
When looking to sell Paloma Picasso jewelry, you will likely be curious as to how much it is worth. Typically you can expect to receive around 30%-35% back of what was originally paid at retail. Where you fall in that price range will depend on the following factors:
- Collection: There are multiple Paloma Picasso collections including Palomas Graffiti, Melody, Studio, Groove and Sugar Stacks. The value of your jewelry will depend on the demand on the second-hand market for your particular collection.
- Condition: The better condition your jewelry is in, the better your offer will be. When your jewelry is damaged, dented or missing gemstones, its value will be lowered to account for the cost of repairs.
- Box and Papers: Having the original box and papers (and in good condition) for your Paloma Picasso jewelry will positively impact it's value. These are desirable for collectors as they illustrate the authenticity of your jewelry. You can also reference the paperwork to learn the exact characteristics of your jewelry.
