  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A variety of skirts were popular in the 1960s. The pencil skirt and sheath skirt were widely worn, and the miniskirt became highly popularized. Classic swing skirts, featuring pleated or gathered design, were also a common choice. Shop a range of vintage and retro-inspired skirts on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Jewelry 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 ExpertMarch 13, 2024

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How 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.

    Cloisonné jewelry is jewelry that has been decorated with a distinctive enameling technique.

    Cloisonné (“cell” in French) is a technique in which thin wires of fine silver or gold are used to outline a design, which is then filled with enamel. The piece is subsequently placed in a kiln where the enamel is melted. Cloisonné is distinct because the individual wires remain visible, forming an outline of the motif.

    Over the years, enameling has become an art form. This is partly because of its durability: Although the colors may change during firing, once cooled, they’re set and never fade. They can also be made either opaque or translucent — just one example of the flexibility that is another reason artists are attracted to the medium. 

    When it comes to jewelry design and other disciplines, cloisonné enamel was popular during the Byzantine Empire (artisans living in France and Germany in the Middle Ages preferred champlevé). By the 7th century, Lombard craftsmen in northern Italy were using enamel to emulate Byzantine objects. In the 12th and 13th centuries, artisans in China imported the technique and made it so much their own that enameled objects have long been associated with Eastern aesthetics and motifs rather than Western ones.

    Find cloisonné jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    Jewelry is used for a variety of purposes. Often, people wear it purely to enhance the visual appeal of their ensembles. Jewelry can fill in a neckline, draw attention to the wearer's face or add sparkle and color to outfits. Jewelry can also have a symbolic function. For example, an engagement ring signifies the promise to one day wed, while a cross necklace is a sign of a person's religious faith. Some jewelry also has a practical purpose. Examples include signet rings once used to seal letters and prayer beads utilized during religious worship. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of jewelry.

    Piaget jewelry is the term for jewelry produced by the Swiss company Piaget. Founded in 1874 by Georges-Édouard Piaget, Piaget began as a watchmaker. In 1959, the Salon Piaget was opened in Geneva, leading to the establishment of workshops for goldsmithing and gem setting and the introduction of the company's first jewelry creations. Luxury jewelry designed by the company's artisans has often cleverly referenced Piaget’s watchmaking origins. An example is the Possession collection, featuring swinging pendants and turning rings that give a nod to the movement of Piaget watches. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Piaget jewelry.
