How can you tell if jewelry is real or fake?
1 Answer
To tell if jewelry is real or fake, first look for hallmarks that indicate the materials and the maker. Then, use trusted online resources to see if the piece resembles genuine items produced by that brand. Because it can be difficult to identify precious metals and gemstones with just the naked eye, consider having your jewelry inspected by an experienced jeweler, certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry.
