It was while seeking to make THE perfect engagement ring that one of the founders, Alexis Blez, found himself faced with an obstacle course. All this seems much more opaque than mysterious to him. He then begins a quest, which will almost become an obsession. This will lead him to open the doors of workshops across France, to meet jewelers, to discover secrets that are too well kept.
It was with Eric Thevenet, a friend for 15 years, that they began to imagine 58 Facettes. The bond they forge with each jeweler then becomes their driving force for building this ambitious project. The meeting with Kyra Brenzinger, a journalist specializing in jewelry for 30 years, confirms their intuitions. The desire to share this know-how, this creativity and this jewelry heritage recognized worldwide lead them to leave their activities to devote themselves to 58 Facettes. Old and vintage jewelry second-hand arouses growing interest among jewelry lovers, and reinforces the two co-founders in their conviction that the future of jewelryLuxury, and particularly that of jewelry, requires sustainability and the circular economy.

And if not, where does this name come from? 58 Facettes » ?
Our name draws its inspiration from the history of diamonds and the passion of artisans who, through the ages, have sought to enhance this stone, to achieve perfect brilliance.
If modern techniques show that the ideal cut of a "brilliant" diamond has 57 facets, it is the result of a long process of historical iterations which led the profession to first focus on a round cut at 58 facettes. It is considered to be the origin of the “brilliant” diamond.
It is at this historic size that our brand 58 Facettes refers to and pays homage to.
