Questions About Jewelry From Scotland
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Scotland is largely known for pebble jewelry, which incorporates semi-precious stones. In addition, some people collect kilt pins, a type of brooch used to secure and decorate kilts. Find a variety of Scottish jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Where Pringle of Scotland is made varies. The brand's knitwear is primarily made in its workshop in Hawick, Scotland, while some pieces originate from other factories scattered throughout Scotland. Pringle of Scotland manufactures a small percentage of pieces abroad. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Pringle of Scotland apparel and accessories.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Agate has been found in Scotland since prehistoric times. The most prolific spot to find agate is in a neolithic cairn near Cairnhill, Monquhitter in Aberdeenshire. Shop a collection of expertly vetted gems and stones from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What art is Scotland famous for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Scotland is famous for many kinds of art. During the Middle Ages, artisans in the region produced highly detailed carved stones and metalwork. In more recent history, Henry Raeburn, James Guthrie, Samuel Peploe, Leslie Hunter and John Duncan Fergusson are among the most well-known Scottish artists. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Scottish art.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024No, James Pringle is not the same as Pringle of Scotland. James Pringle founded his eponymous brand during the late 18th century when he acquired Holm Woollen Mills, and the company was later sold to Edinburgh Woollen Mills after his son, also named James, retired. Robert Pringle established Pringle of Scotland in 1815 in Edinburgh, Scotland. On 1stDibs, explore an assortment of Pringle of Scotland apparel and accessories.
- 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 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.
Find cloisonné jewelry on 1stDibs. - 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. For example, an engagement ring signifies the promise to one day wed, while a cross necklace is a sign of a person's religious faith. Some jewelry also has a practical purpose. Examples include signet rings once used to seal letters and prayer beads utilized during religious worship. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of jewelry.
- What is high jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024High jewelry is the term for luxury jewelry made with the highest quality of materials and with the highest level of craftsmanship. Often, the phrase implies that the jewelry maker produces bespoke or one-of-a-kind pieces. Generally, high jewelry features only the finest metals and rarest precious gemstones and is usually made by hand. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of high jewelry.
- 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. Typical designs include scrolls, lace, and symmetrical Art-Deco motifs. This type of jewelry was especially popular in the first part of the 20th century.
- 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. Statement jewelry is known to be unique and bold. It might be large and chunky but it doesn’t have to be — by nature, statement jewelry is a show-stopper and is typically intended to turn heads. Make a statement with the collection of vintage and modern jewelry from some of the world’s top jewelers on 1stDibs.
- 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.

Shop a collection of vintage and modern suites of jewelry from some of the world’s top jewelers on 1stDibs.
- 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. You’ll find a variety of Tubogas jewelry from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
