Today more than ever, second hand is very coveted. After bags, clothes and shoes, it is now possible, and even common, to find second hand luxury watches and jewelry. Your magazine Luxus Plus has found for you some sites where you can find vintage jewelry.
ICYMI
ICYMI is the acronym for In Case You Missed It, or, in French in the text, “Au cas où vous l’aurais manqué”. Founded in 2016 by Tiphaine, this website features antique jewelry, set with diamonds and precious stones. Passionate about stones and a treasure hunter in her spare time, the founder wanted to create this site to make quality antique jewelry accessible to all (or almost all): “I wanted to prove that it is not necessary to save for years to afford a ring, bracelet or earrings in precious metal set with a diamond or a colored stone.” For her, finding jewelry is about finding treasures, “nuggets” as she likes to call them in order to give them a second life. Be sure to check out her website to discover these beautiful, never out of style, well made and good quality jewelry. You don’t want to miss the opportunity!

Castafiore Paris
Castafiore Paris is the symbiosis between the spirit of two women, with an extraordinary background, who decided to combine their talents and create a website dedicated to vintage jewelry. On the one hand, Charlotte Rey, director of fine jewelry at Cartier for twenty years. On the other, Anne Borde, an expert in the auction business for 30 years. On their website, you can find all kinds of jewelry, from less than 500 euros to more than 10,000 euros. From pink diamonds to sapphire, gold and silver, you will find everything. The will of its creators is to desacralize the wear of the jewel by unearthing treasures and by making it accessible, when it was formerly a privilege.
