Who are we ?
Castafiore is a platform for buying and selling vintage and second-hand jewelry. We offer authenticated and appraised pieces, carefully selected from private collections and exclusive dealers.
Thanks to the jewelry expertise and authentication and appraisal skills of our founders, Anne Borde and Charlotte Rey, Castafiore offers a unique service. We source and select exceptional jewelry, while guiding buyers and sellers in their choices.
With Castafiore, you can acquire unique pieces and assert your style while adopting a responsible approach for a better future.
Castafiore, the name given by the two founders, is a nod to the extravagant diva from the Tintin albums: a jewelry fanatic who wears her creations with complete confidence and freedom. While the name might raise a smile, the service offered by Castafiore is, in fact, entirely serious.
Anne Borde & Charlotte Rey
These two jewelry insiders form the ideal tandem, their profiles being perfectly complementary.
Anne Borde
Anne Borde worked for 30 years in the world of auctioneers and auction houses, notably at Drouot. She inventoried countless collections and estates; she handled thousands of objects, scrutinizing them from every angle. Her keen eye missed no hidden gem.
Charlotte Rey
Charlotte Rey spent 20 years at Cartier in retail (distribution), marketing, and then as director of high jewelry for France, Europe, and the Middle East. She has an intimate knowledge of clients, their tastes, their requirements, and their purchasing habits.
Every piece of jewelry sold on castafiore.fr is appraised and authenticated by our team to guarantee you the best price. Charlotte Rey, Anne Borde, and the entire team assist individuals wishing to sell their jewelry. They determine the type of materials, the weight of the gold, the carat weight of the stones, and also look for the presence of a hallmark, the signature of a potentially renowned jeweler.
Certificate of Authenticity
For each piece of jewelry purchased from Castafiore, a digital certificate of authenticity is issued, registered in the Blockchain (thanks to our partner GoodsID), meaning it is traceable and tamper-proof.
Castafiore also works in collaboration with the firm Sancy Expertise Paris, co-founded by Drew Battaglia, Florian Doux and Maxime Charron in 2021, for the authentication and expertise of our jewelry.
