The antique jewel is now taking back its rightful place : a unique jewel, which by its rarity becomes precious, beyond its own value. Far from belonging to those jewels that we buy and then forget almost immediately, these treasures take on an ethical dimension by extending their lifespan when they enter yours.

Why Pénélope ?
Behind the brand is a story, but above all a love of stories.
Inspired by Pénélope, her grandmother, who all her life fed her intellectual coquetry with precious objects and books, Camille, the founder, decided to turn these common passions into a profession, hunting for historical treasures full of emotions.

Camille Cuvelier has been refreshing our view of antique jewelry since 2016. Galerie Pénélope was born from her experience acquired with a parisian antique dealer, then in Haute Joaillerie within the Maison Chaumet. Camille has a double degree in gemology, from the GIA in New York (Graduate Gemologist) and the HRD in Anvers (Diamond Grader).
