Who are we ?
Castafiore is a platform for buying and selling vintage and pre-owned jewelry. We offer authenticated and appraised pieces, carefully selected from private collections and exclusive retailers.
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 assisting buyers and sellers in their selection.
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: crazy about jewelry, she wears it with a completely uninhibited and confident manner. While the name may raise a smile, the service offered by Castafiore is nothing short of 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 auctions, notably at Drouot. She inventoried countless collections and estates; she held thousands of objects in her hands, which she scrutinized from every angle. Her keen eye never missed a single gem.
Charlotte Rey
Charlotte Rey worked for 20 years at Cartier in retail (distribution), marketing, and then as Director of Fine Jewelry for France, Europe, and the Middle East. Customers, their tastes, their demands, and their purchasing habits hold no secrets for her.
Every piece of jewelry sold on castafiore.fr is appraised and authenticated by our teams to guarantee you the best price. Charlotte Rey and Anne Borde , along with the entire team, assist individuals wishing to sell their jewelry. They determine the nature of the materials, the weight of the gold, the carats of the stones, and also look for traces of a hallmark, possibly signed by a 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.
