Questions About Antique Metal Jewelry
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024What is the most durable metal for jewelry is open to debate. A few different metals are especially hard and dense, making them highly resistant to scratches and breakage. Among them are tungsten, titanium, cobalt and stainless steel. Find a large selection of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021Gold is one of the best metals for jewelry-making since it is soft and easy to work with. Gold is frequently combined with other metals in jewelry-making such as zinc or copper — it is too soft to utilize in its unadulterated form and a gold alloy is going to be strong and durable. Shop a range of antique and vintage gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is antique paste jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Paste jewelry is made out of a special type of flint glass that emulates several gemstones.

Paste jewelry was popular as a cheaper alternative to diamonds during the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian eras, as well as the Art Deco period. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage paste jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024To tell if jewelry is antique, look for its hallmarks.

If you need assistance dating a particular piece, enlist the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer. Find a large collection of antique jewelry on 1stDibs.
