ABOUT

CASTAFIORE


Castafiore is a platform for buying and selling vintage and second-hand jewelry. We offer authenticated and expert-verified pieces, carefully selected from private collections and exclusive dealers.

Thanks to the expertise in jewelry and authentication and valuation skills of our founders, Anne Borde and Charlotte Rey, Castafiore provides a unique service. We discover and select exceptional jewelry while guiding both buyers and sellers in their choices.

With Castafiore, you can acquire unique pieces and express your style while adopting a responsible approach for a better future.

Castafiore, the name chosen by the two founders, is a nod to the extravagant diva from the Tintin albums: crazy about jewelry, she wears them in a totally carefree and bold way. While the name may bring a smile, the service offered by Castafiore is, without a doubt, highly professional.

THE FOUNDERS

ANNE BORDE & CHARLOTTE REY

These two jewelry insiders form the ideal tandem, their profiles being perfectly complementary

CO-FOUNDER

ANNE BORDE


Anne Borde worked for 30 years in the world of auctioneers and auctions, notably in Drouot. She has inventoried countless collections and estates; she had thousands of objects in her hands which she examined from every angle. His sharp eye misses no nugget.

CO-FOUNDER

CHARLOTTE REY


Charlotte Rey worked for 20 years at Cartier in retail (distribution), marketing then as director of fine jewelry for the France, Europe and Middle East zones. Customers, their tastes, their requirements and their purchasing habits hold no secrets for her.

Charlotte Rey and Anne Borde help individuals who ask themselves a thousand questions when selling their jewelry(s). How much is it worth on the market? Is it solid gold or gold plated? How to identify stones? And, after all, what if it came from a prestigious house?

With the jewel in hand, they determine the nature of the materials, the weight of the gold, the carats of the stones, etc. They are also looking for the trace of a hallmark, a sign of a possible renowned jeweler.
