    Emeralds are quite rare. This gemstone is rarer and more expensive than a diamond.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    Birkins are so rare because of a range of factors. Each is handmade by a single expert craftsperson at the celebrated French luxury house Hermès, so this is going to limit how many can be produced in a year. A limited assortment of leathers and colors is released annually, and bags made in exotic skins such as lizard, ostrich and porosus and niloticus crocodile are exceedingly rare. Demand for the bags is astronomically high because the Birkin, which debuted in 1984, is considered an iconic design and is a coveted item all over the world. Additionally, customers are required to have a purchase history with Hermès in order to buy a new Birkin, and the company only allows boutiques to purchase a specified number of Birkins bi-annually. And Birkins are among the most expensive handbags in the world, so this isn’t an accessory that you’re going to see everyday. Shop an assortment of Hermès Birkin bags on 1stDibs.

    Generally, So Black Chanel handbags are rare. The term refers to bags that feature black leather and matching black hardware. For each collection, Chanel produces handbags in a set range of colors, and usually only a limited number of bags like the Chanel Classic Flap Bag and Chanel Boy Bag are available in So Black. Because the seasonal selection is small and there is usually great demand for the black-on-black bags, it can be hard to find one at a Chanel boutique. However, you can often buy them on trusted online platforms. Explore a variety of Chanel So Black bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021

When Rolex did make green Submariners, production numbers tended to be limited. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Rolex Submariner watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not Rolex Submariners are rare depends on the model number. Some are easier to find than others due to increased production. Examples of rare models include the ref. 5517, the honeycomb dial ref. 6204 and the ref. 6538. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of Rolex Submariner watches.

    Rolex Daytonas are rare because the luxury Swiss watchmaker produced a limited number each year, and demand for the watch has historically been high.

The following year, it introduced the Cosmograph reference 6239, or the Rolex Daytona, in honor of the partnership. Shop a variety of Rolex Daytona watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023

    A completely natural emerald is rare. Often, emeralds go through treatments to enhance their appearance or durability. Compared to diamonds, emeralds are actually 20 times rarer. While they’re rare, emeralds are gemstones to purchase if you’re on a budget because they appear larger than a diamond of the same carat weight due to their lower density. Emeralds are believed by many to symbolize royalty, love and mysticism. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of emerald jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024

Some examples of rare and highly sought-after Royal Doulton figurines include the RailRoad Guard, designed by B. Harper; the Virginia HN2844, made in 1978; the Rose Garden HN4559, produced in 1994; and Juno and the Peacock HN2827, circa 1984. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Royal Doulton figurines.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    What makes a Chanel bag rare is the craftsmanship and the demand. Because of the time it takes to produce each bag, Chanel makes only a limited number each season, and the popularity of the French luxury fashion house’s pieces means that the available inventory sells quickly. For its spectacular seasonal runway shows, Chanel designs special bags that are typically produced in smaller editions, making them all the more desirable and prompting long waiting lists, while many handbags that are sought after today are objects of pure fantasy conjured up by the late couturier Karl Lagerfeld, whose prolific tenure at the helm of Chanel lasted from 1983 to 2019. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Chanel bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
