Questions About Jewelry With Shells
- What are Shell Chairs?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023Shell chairs are iconic mid-century modern chairs designed by Hans J. Wegner and first released in 1963. In terms of both process and aesthetics, the Shell chair was ahead of its time when it was introduced. The expressive seat and back are made out of form-pressed oak or walnut laminates and topped with upholstered cushions for maximum comfort. Its design includes a tapered three-leg structure with two front legs made of one continuous piece and a separate hind leg that supports the backrest. This gives the chair a feeling of lightness without sacrificing stability. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Shell chairs.
- Do artillery shells explode?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, if used properly, some artillery shells can explode. In the 19th century, artillery shells were designed to burst on impact causing shrapnel. Military collectors and firearm enthusiasts often proudly display artillery shells as vintage decor. Shop a selection of military memorabilia on 1stDibs.
- 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.
- Is the Shell Chair comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Whether the Shell chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, creator Hans J. Wegner designed the curves of the backrest and the seat to complement the contours of the human body in order to provide ample support when the Shell chair made its debut in 1963. Chairs became Wegner’s specialty, and over the years he designed over 500 of them. More than 100 of his designs, such as the Wishbone chair and the Papa Bear chair, went into production. Shop a selection of Shell chairs and other vintage Hans Wegner seating on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Whether or not the Wegner shell chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal preference. Wegner did design the dramatically curved seat and gently tapered back to properly support the contours of the human body. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Hans Wegner chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022In nature, you can find giant clam shells along the shorelines of the Philippines and in the Sabah coral reefs in Malaysian Borneo. To purchase giant clam shells, check out reputable online platforms, auction houses and antique stores. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of giant clam shells.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Capiz shell designs have been described as rustic and boho. Capiz is a type of flat pearl made from a windowpane oyster found in and named for the province of Capiz in the Philippines. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Capiz shell items from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The history of the Wegner Shell Chair begins in 1963. Hans J. Wegner unveiled the chair at the Furniture Guild Exhibition in Copenhagen, Denmark. Often described as being "wing-like," the chair's radical fluid lines were considered a bit too futuristic at the time. Initially, mixed reviews from critics and the general public, as well as production difficulties, resulted in a very limited early run. Twelve new models were produced for a retrospective exhibition celebrating Wegner's 77th birthday in 1989, and the design began garnering renewed attention (a photograph of the chair was even selected to grace the cover of the exhibition catalog). In 1998, nearly a decade following the piece's reemergence at the retrospective event, Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced the Shell chair 35 years after it was first released, and it has felt relevant ever since. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Hans Wegner Shell chairs.
- 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.
- 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.
- What is Frivole jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Frivole jewelry is a line produced by the luxury jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels. In French, frivole means frivolous or light and cheerful, and the term perfectly reflects the airy, whimsical quality of pieces in the Frivole collection. The line features a recurring floral motif with heart-shaped petals that sparkle with pavé gemstones or surround gemstone centers. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Van Cleef & Arpels Frivole jewelry.
- What is Solje jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Solje jewelry is a type of decorative accessory that originates from Norway. Most designs are sterling silver and feature dangling oval-shaped embellishments made of enamel or gold called spoons. Shop a range of Solje jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is Stambolian jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Stambolian jewelry refers to decorative accessories like rings and pendants produced by the luxury brand Stambolian. Armenian designer Harry Stambolian founded his company in New York, New York, during the 1980s and is known for producing gemstone jewelry that shows off elements of traditional Armenian architecture and design. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Stambolian jewelry.
- What is intaglio jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Intaglio jewelry is jewelry that features a central stone on which an artisan carves artwork on the back. This creates a recessed image when a viewer examines the jewelry from the front. It differs from the raised reliefs on cameo jewelry. Shop a range of intaglio jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is guilloche jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Guilloche jewelry consists of intricate concentric designs engraved onto metal through a lathe machine. These elaborate designs are covered by translucent enamel. Shop vintage and contemporary guilloche jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is retro jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Retro jewelry is jewelry created in the late 1930s and early 1940s. These pieces were heavily influenced by the changes accompanying World War II. Retro jewelry is known for its futuristic, geometric elements. Shop retro jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is Pinchbeck jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Pinchbeck jewelry looks very similar to gold in appearance but is instead made of brass. It was traditionally used when there was risk of theft, such as on stagecoaches.
- Is Piaget a jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Piaget is a Swiss luxury brand known for its watches and other jewelry.
