What I love about this category is knowing that every day, I will be amazed or moved by a particular gem or jewellery piece.

For her 15th birthday, Victoire’s grandmother gave her one of her Art Deco rings. She was instantly mesmerised by the depth of the sapphire and the brilliance of the diamonds — sparking a life-long interest in jewellery. After obtaining a Master’s degree in Marketing and Business Development, Victoire started working for high end jewellery houses in Paris, including Chaumet and Van Cleef & Arpels. Wanting to get closer to the product, she enrolled in gemmology training, and then opened her own antique jewellery marketplace. Having seen millions of jewels over the years, she brings a serene energy to the dynamic world of Catawiki auctions; examining each piece with precision and reassuring both buyers and sellers with her deep-rooted knowledge. Multifaceted like a gemstone herself, Victoire is an expert with a business eye. Her personal favourite? Sapphire.
