Reading guide
How to read the indicators
The gross merchandise volume (GMV) is the net amount of goods paid for after price negotiation between buyers and sellers.
The relative ticket compares the value share to the unit share. A value greater than 1 indicates an average value per unit higher than the observed market value.
Interest combines 50% of user searches from 58 Facettes and 50% of that of non-bot arrival sessions on collection pages. Both sources are normalized to the same cohort and the same year before aggregation.
A change in share is expressed in percentage points. It is not sufficient to prove a change in absolute volume.

Jewelry not branded - L'Art Deco The Retro trend is back!
Which periods and styles appeal to buyers when the signature is no longer the primary point of reference?
Eras
Eras: the undisputed leadership of theArt Deco
L'Art Deco remains the center of gravity of the jewel no branded of the era: it weighs more in value than in units. Its relative decline in 2026 does not reflect a loss of leadership, but a rebalancing towards Retro and Belle Époque.

L'Art Deco It accounts for 51.40% of the value and 47.20% of the units. The Rétro gained 5.16 points and the Belle Époque 2.01 points. The recovery is therefore twofold: the Rétro rose in value, while the Belle Époque advanced primarily in units.
The relative price of Retro exceeds 1.3: its value significantly surpasses its unit weight. Conversely, the Belle Époque remains a more diffuse and, on average, more accessible category. The 1960s have declined sharply on both axes.

Styles: Why the ring Daisy Is she making progress despite less attention?
Because attention and sales do not focus on the same area. In strictly non-sales branded, the ring Daisy gains more than five value points and becomes the second style. Style signals also include jewelry. branded, Its share of composite interest is declining while remaining first.

| Creoles | 2,90 % | +0.74 pt | 6,19 % | 0,47 | 33.5 days |
The ring Daisy reached 14.32% of the non-value branded, compared to 9.06% in 2025. At the same time, its share of composite interest in style signals, across all signature statuses, falls from 20.94% to 13.58%. The decline in attention is therefore not translating into a decline in sales: conversion and the sales mix compensate.
The “Geometric” and “Cocktail” styles are also accelerating, representing 6.35% and 4.47% of value respectively. Their median selling times are shorter than that of the Solitaire, This reinforces the interpretation of an active demand for more expressive rings. We can also draw a parallel between the rise of the "geometric" style and the success of the era. Art Deco.

Precious stones — color increases in value
How are preferences and prices for gem-set jewelry evolving on the secondary market?
Precious stones
Is the diamond still the leading commodity?
Yes. Diamonds still represent more than half the value of the ten main gemstones and nearly half the units. But their share of value is declining more than their share of units: the relative price is tightening.

| Citrine | 1,35 % | -0.16 pt | 1,30 % | 2,73 % | N. d. |
Sapphire, emerald, and ruby together gain 4.13 points in value share, but their unit share varies by only -0.25 points. This divergence signals an increase in the relative ticket price, not a massive diffusion of colored gemstones.
Emerald remains the most over-indexed colored gemstone in terms of interest: its share of attention exceeds its share of units sold. Sapphire has a broader commercial base. Ruby is experiencing strong growth in value.
Price per carat
How does the price of jewelry change per carat of stone?
Since 2023, rubies and sapphires have been on an upward trajectory. Diamonds and emeralds have been declining. This comparison does not measure a standardized price for the stone: it relates the price of the entire piece of jewelry to the weight of its focal stone and remains sensitive to quality, brand, and design.

These values do not constitute a price for bare stone.
The ruby reached an average price of €2,043.96/carat, registering a very strong increase in just one year: +42%. The selling price per carat of sapphire increased less sharply but more steadily: +10% over 3 years. The emerald fell to €1,447.38/carat. The audit shows that this decline stems from a sales mix less concentrated in very high-end pieces, and not from a real deterioration in prices. In this instance, we observe that the price of very high-quality emeralds can actually exceed the price per carat of sapphires and rubies in transactions carried out on 58 Facettes.

The ring accounted for 52.82% of the value and 54.32% of the units. Its average delivery time decreased by 16.2 days. Earrings gained 1.13 percentage points in units, with a faster turnover rate as well.
The bracelet lost 2.51 points in value, 1.01 points in units, and 1.07 points in interest. The decline is convergent, not solely due to price.
Metals
Is yellow gold really making a comeback in popularity?
It is gaining in value, but not in distribution. Its share of sales volume is increasing while its share of units is decreasing. The conclusion, therefore, is an increase in the relative price point or a mix of higher-value coins, not a generalization of yellow gold to a greater sales volume.

CONCLUSION
What 2026 changes in market analysis
The market observed by 58 Facettes becomes more legible through three movements: Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels retain their leading status, but other signings such as Bulgari, Pomellato And Chaumet accelerate sharply; the pivotal era of antique jewelry remainsArt Deco with signs of revivals of Retro and Belle Epoque styles; the diamond remains the number 1 precious stone but is losing value, conversely, the value of sapphires and rubies is increasing while the emerald can reach very high prices when it meets all the quality criteria.
Concrete benchmarks for resale value
The signature alone is not enough: the collection, the variant, the metal, the condition, the weight and the presence of stones of more or less good quality explain a large part of the differences.
Speed of sale reinforces a desirability signal. In 2026, Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier display the shortest median sales times among major brands, at 36 and 38 days respectively.
For gemstones, the price per carat published here is the price of the entire piece of jewelry divided by the carat weight of the main stone. It is used to compare sales mixes, not to appraise and evaluate a single stone.

The source score for periods omits price. The score for gemstones omits time and replaces the price per gram with the average price cleaned per carat; topaz also omits this price component and is therefore based on three components. Each change is transformed by a robust function centered on 50. An internal coverage rule applies, and at least four components must be available, except for the topaz exception described above. Reading thresholds: 65, 55, 45, and 35. The score measures relative dynamics, not absolute power or a forecast.
Price per carat
The net price paid for the entire piece of jewelry is divided by the carat weight of its focal stone. Only rings and pendants with a main stone strictly greater than 1 carat are included. Synthetic, pavé, aggregated, plural, co-focal, contradictory, or implausible cases are excluded. The mean and median of the individual ratios are weighted by the amount paid.
