One of the best parts about working at 1stdibs is the ability to pick the brains of our crack team of in-house experts. Need advice on what color, cut, or creator to invest in? Decades of knowledge and scholarship are just a couple of desks away.
But we’d feel bad keeping all of that to ourselves.

So while you may not have the convenience of sitting alongside her at work, read on to get Clair’s insider tips on what to buy now.
