Questions About 1950s Jewelry
- 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, 2022Yes. While the gem has always been a mainstay in jewelry, there was a boom in demand for pearl pieces in the 1950s. The style at the time was black-and-white-chic, and pearls were an excellent accompaniment to pieces like the classic little black dress. Shop a collection of expertly vetted pearl jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 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.
