Questions About Jewelry From Greece
- What does jewelry do?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Jewelry can do many things. Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. Specific pieces of jewelry can enhance a person's appearance. For example, dangling earrings can help lengthen the look of the face, while choker necklaces can shorten the appearance of a long neck. The right jewelry can add texture and pops of color to outfits and draw attention to the wearer. In some cases, jewelry can have a symbolic meaning, the way an engagement ring is a reminder of a promise to marry, and a cross necklace is often a sign of religious faith. Shop a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How you define high jewelry versus fine jewelry is largely a matter of personal opinion because the terms do not have formal definitions. Generally, fine jewelry is any piece of jewelry carefully crafted out of precious materials like metal and gemstones. High jewelry is a term used by collectors to describe jewelry of significant value. Exceptional craftsmanship, one-of-a-kind signs and highly sought pieces may fall under the category. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Quality and rarity define the difference between fine jewelry and high jewelry. Any jewelry that features fine materials, like precious metals and gemstones, may be considered fine jewelry. The term high jewelry usually refers to one-of-a-kind jewelry that is often crafted entirely or partially by hand. Shop a diverse assortment of jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is convertible jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A product of the Art Deco era, convertible jewelry is that which can change from one form to another. A necklace can become earrings, or a ring can become a bracelet. Van Cleef and Arpel are one of the most famous designers of convertible jewelry, with some elaborate designs taking a decade to create. Shop a collection of convertible jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a lavalier jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The term lavalier jewelry originally referred to jewelry in the form of a pendant worn around the neck. The lavalier, which came into fashion in the 17th century, was usually a small, jeweled gold locket, though it could also be an enameled locket or pendant. Find a collection of antique and vintage lavalier on 1stDibs.
- What is a jewelry parure?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022“Parure” is the French word for “set”, so the term jewelry parure means jewelry set. A set can include matching earrings, necklace, brooch and bracelet. Other accessories may also be included. Shop a collection of jewelry sets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is filigree jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Filigree jewelry is jewelry made by twisting precious metals into an intricate, delicate, and romantic style of design and then soldering it onto or into the jewelry.

- What is enamel jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Enamel jewelry is a type of decorative accessory produced by applying melted glass onto metal. The practice of producing enamel jewelry traces back to the work of goldsmiths of Mycenae done during the 13th century BCE. Find a range of enamel jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is statement jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021Statement jewelry are pieces that wearers can use to express themselves and their personality.

- What is a suite of jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A suite of jewelry is a complete set of jewelry of four or more pieces.

- What is Tubogas jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The term Tubogas translates to gas pipe, and is a term used to describe a chain that is formed from interlocking strips that are wound tightly together. This technique creates a hollow center that uses less metal and requires no soldering. It was popular in the 1930-40s because of the scarcity of metals during the war.

- What is niello jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Niello is a black-colored metal alloy made with sulfur and lead, gold or silver.

- What is repousse jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Repousse jewelry is a way of decorating metals through hammering and punches to make a relief. Later details and definitions are added through engravings.
- What is jewelry used for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Jewelry is used for a variety of purposes. Often, people wear it purely to enhance the visual appeal of their ensembles. Jewelry can fill in a neckline, draw attention to the wearer's face or add sparkle and color to outfits. Jewelry can also have a symbolic function.

- What is cloisonné jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 8, 2024Cloisonné jewelry is jewelry that has been decorated with a distinctive enameling technique.
Cloisonné (“cell” in French) is a technique in which thin wires of fine silver or gold are used to outline a design, which is then filled with enamel. The piece is subsequently placed in a kiln where the enamel is melted. Cloisonné is distinct because the individual wires remain visible, forming an outline of the motif.
Over the years, enameling has become an art form. This is partly because of its durability: Although the colors may change during firing, once cooled, they’re set and never fade. They can also be made either opaque or translucent — just one example of the flexibility that is another reason artists are attracted to the medium.
When it comes to jewelry design and other disciplines, cloisonné enamel was popular during the Byzantine Empire (artisans living in France and Germany in the Middle Ages preferred champlevé). By the 7th century, Lombard craftsmen in northern Italy were using enamel to emulate Byzantine objects. In the 12th and 13th centuries, artisans in China imported the technique and made it so much their own that enameled objects have long been associated with Eastern aesthetics and motifs rather than Western ones.
