Who am I?
Former auctioneer specializing in jewelry
Since I was little, I have always been fascinated by jewelry! I remember rummaging through my mother's jewelry boxes to adorn myself with her treasures. So, it was natural that when I became an auctioneer, I was immediately seduced by the expertise of antique jewelry.
I love discovering unique pieces and admiring the qualities of a fine stone set. Faithful companions of our lives, jewelry comes to sublimate our daily life with its brilliance. Timeless, a vintage jewel survives the ages while remaining the witness of the most beautiful moments of the life of its lucky wearer.
Passionate about art since childhood, my path was obvious. After higher education in private law and art history in Paris, I obtained my auctioneer diploma in 2011, and then began working for the most prestigious Parisian auction houses, Artcurial and Christie's.
In 2014, I moved to Lyon, and I took over the management of the Aguttes auction house in the Brotteaux train station for 6 wonderful years. I trained at the same time with the National Institute of Gemmology before embarking on the adventure of entrepreneurship!
My expertise
Appraising a piece of jewelry requires a great deal of know-how. Indeed, an appraisal allows you to determine the value of a piece of jewelry using precise knowledge of gemology and the history of jewelry.
Because, in terms of antique jewelry appraisal, it is important to consider not only the market value of the ornament based on the nature of its material and the quality of the set stone, but also its antique value as a rare and unique piece.
An ethical approach
Antique jewelry is part of a 100% ethical approach. Indeed, having an eco-responsible attitude in the field of luxury jewelry consists of controlling the origin of the materials. Thus, adopting ethical jewelry allows you to be part of a sustainable circuit that fights against the depletion of global resources of precious stones.
Buying a vintage piece of jewelry helps promote the circular market and thus gives a second life to an ornament that has already been worn and is emblematic of a key period in the history of jewelry.
My commitments
My commitment is to offer you pieces of exceptional quality, designed to last over time. Each piece, rare and unique, is carefully selected for its distinctive character and its history. In an ethical approach, I favor a responsible sourcing of materials and precious stones. Each jewel is meticulously appraised and certified, guaranteeing its authenticity and value. You also benefit from a certificate of authenticity and 6 months of insurance, ensuring your peace of mind.
