Is expensive jewelry worth it?
1 Answer

Yes, many jewelry lovers believe that expensive jewelry is worth it. Accessories that sell at high price points frequently feature fine materials, such as genuine gemstones and precious metals like platinum and 18-karat gold. Additionally, the design of fine jewelry often owes to very manual processes and time-honored techniques that help ensure quality. As a result, costly jewelry may be worth more in the future and may be better able to hold up to the effects of frequent wear. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in expensive jewelry is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
