Each partner boasts deep in-house expertise, high-touch customer service, and a tech-forward, data-driven approach to selling luxury goods.
Since its founding in 2014, TrueFacet.com has cleverly crowd-sourced much of its pre-owned watches and fine jewelry through customer trade-ins, consignments, and customer sales, rapidly growing its marketplace inventory to over 140,000 items. Each item is carefully authenticated and refurbished in-house or directly by brands through TrueFacet’s groundbreaking Brand Certified Pre-Owned program, the first of its kind in the industry, launched in August of 2018.
TrueFacet’s transparency and adaptability has led to industry partnerships with Brand Certified Pre-Owned partners like Zenith, FENDI Timepieces, Faberge, and Roberto Coin. The digital marketplace has also recently partnered Messika to power a branded U.S. e-commerce site for the international jewelry brand. In the company’s latest daring evolution, TrueFacet has joined with offline luxury retailer Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry.
Stephen and Jared Silver are respected leading figures in the estate, fine jewelry, and luxury world. The father and son team have also earned a reputation amongst Silicon Valley’s VC community as forward-thinking early adopters of new technology. Where other jewelry and watch retailers have seen e-commerce marketplaces as competition, the Silvers saw an opportunity to invest in TrueFacet, a data-driven, tech-forward digital marketplace that intersected with their own high horology and estate jewelry interests, and he eventually took on an advisory role with TrueFacet.
