Our history
Minihy is the story of two antique dealer friends who, in their different backgrounds, have always been passionate about jewelry and beautiful things.
Sophie and Charlotte are the most unlikely tandem you will ever meet. It's been ten years since their paths crossed, and ever since they've been a hellish, inseparable duo.
Sophie and her keen eye travel across France to unearth the most beautiful treasures for you. After more than forty years of hunting around the world, nothing escapes him.
Charlotte, a passionate gemologist with degrees in law and art history, worked in auction houses and galleries for 12 years. She examines each piece before putting it up for sale, and tries with difficulty to calm Sophie's ardor on certain purchases!
They are several generations apart, and that is all their wealth: experience, eye, enthusiasm, patience, modernity, precision... we will not tell you which qualifiers represent the most one or the other! It is together that they select jewelry, according to their tastes and desires. Here, you will only find sincere favorites.
This vintage jewelry is suitable for all genders, some may be more classified as "men's jewelry", but we consider that all hands, necks and wrists are beautiful and can wear a piece of jewelry without needing to be male , woman, young or old!
Our antique jewelry offers you an adventure: choose them and let yourself be carried away by their history, their know-how, their region or their country of origin. You will discover the talents of the artisans of yesteryear and the techniques sometimes neglected in favor of mass production.
The jewelry that pollutes the least is the one that already exists! Our antique jewelry has already been made. They just need to be held and loved again!
Of course, we can't resist the call of beautiful things, which is why you will sometimes find a few carefully selected objects of art on our site. It’s the disease of our passion for antiques!
If you fall in love, don't wait! Our selections are rare, most of our pieces are unique, there is no stock!
