Who are We ?
We are Jean and Coralie, a complementary duo brought together by a shared passion: antique jewelry.
A shared passion
Jean has been a dealer for three generations. An expert in gems and jewelry, he has an eye for spotting rare pieces, interesting stones, and above all, a knack for a good deal. A natural negotiator, he's our buyer, always on the lookout for hidden treasures.
Coralie, on the other hand, has always had a soft spot for quality and craftsmanship. She loves hunting through flea markets and garage sales for well-made objects full of history. Very sensitive to aesthetics and the emotional connection that vintage pieces can create, she handles all customer relations, communication, marketing, and much more - areas where Jean, our writer of the day, feels a bit less comfortable.
A few years ago, we decided to change our lives.
We moved, seeking more greenery, more meaning, andmore authenticity.
We deepened our knowledge, sharpened our eye, and launched this online shop.
We didn't come from the web world at all. We learned everything on the fly: redesigned the site multiple times, tested, fixed, and experimented...Everything is homemade, and if some details have a bit of a handcrafted feel, it's because they really are.
Rings in the spotlight
With us, every piece of jewelry is unique, carefully selected, and hand-restored if needed by skilled artisans with over 30 years of experience.
Most of our rings are over 100 years old. They were made in an era when everything was handcrafted with a level of quality rarely seen today. Stone cutting, origin, alloys, finishing, artistic expression-everything has changed, often at the expense of craftsmanship.
Our job is a bit like being treasure hunters: spotting these exceptional pieces and offering them to you.
Why second-hand?
Buying vintage or antique means investing in something real, durable, beautiful, and rare. And if you take a step back, this isn't just true for jewelry.
Back then, whether it was furniture or everyday objects, there were more artisans, higher standards, and greater attention to detail. Quality was the norm. Today, we too often see a race to mediocrity: mass production, speed, uniformity... and most of the time, apart from the brand name, we don't even know what we're really paying for.
With us, you don't pay for the brand.
You pay the true value: that of a vintage piece, restored, unique, and made to last.
Thank you to everyone who has already trusted us.And welcome if you're discovering us for the first time!
