Questions About 40s 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, 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.

- 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. The brand’s origins go back to the mid-19th century, and they still operate today with many enthusiasts worldwide.

Winston Jewels, Inc. It began operating under its current name in 1936. You'll find a collection of Harry Winston jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is interchangeable jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Interchangeable jewelry can be adjusted to create different pieces depending on what style of jewelry you want that day. For interchangeable earrings, necklaces, bracelets and cuff links, the focal jewel or element can be replaced with a different color or style to suit your look. Shop a range of interchangeable jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is acrostic jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Acrostic jewelry spells a word by using the first letter of the gemstones used in the piece. For example, a piece of jewelry could say the word ‘regard’ by using a ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, another ruby, and lastly a diamond. Shop a collection of acrostic jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is VCA in jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The mark ‘VCA’ on a piece of jewelry is the brand name stamp of Van Cleef & Arpels.
