Castello & Rossi

Castello & Rossi is a collection of fine collectible antique and 20th century jewels curated by a specialist lens. Offering a modern edit of coveted historical and vintage treasures, each jewel is scholarly chosen for its design and origins, as well as its ability to speak with relevance to the modern jewelry collector, regardless of antiquity or age. Built upon founder, Anellie Manolas’, longstanding affinity for antique and 20th century jewelry, the collection is driven by her engagement in the dialogue which she feels exists around old jewels, “When I pick up an old jewel, I feel awe, curiosity and deep sentimental arousal. For me, the true value of a jewel is, at its core, in the story that it tells.” As co-collectors, Anellie Manolas, and Senior Consultant Susan Abeles, together offer 40 years’ experience valuing jewels for the world’s most prestigious auction houses, handling some of history’s most storied jewels. Between them, they have curated important jewelry auctions in the UK, Middle East, Australia, Hong Kong and North America, travelling globally to source the jewels they sold. Each possessing a deep passion for jewels, they bring a considered eye to jewelry collecting, and an instinct for unearthing special pieces in far-flung places. The jewels offered by Castello & Rossi represent Anellie and Susans’ formidable understanding of period jewelry, as well as their access to important private collections and estates around the world.
