Questions About Antiques In Gold
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Antique gold is as real as contemporary gold. Pure gold is 24-karats, though few pieces of jewelry are actually made completely of 24-karat gold because it's extremely soft. 14-karat and 18-karat gold jewelry is usually mixed with alloy to make the piece a bit more durable.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not an antique gold finish is real gold or not depends on the item in question. Often, things said to have an "antique gold finish" simply have a gold-toned finish. However, in some cases, the finish may be real gold plating. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of gold decorative objects and jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if jewelry is antique gold, take it to a licensed appraiser experienced in evaluating jewelry. It is difficult to identify jewelry materials using only the naked eye and online resources. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly vetted gold jewelry.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    While green gold is indeed real gold, it does have to be mixed with another material to achieve the color. Generally, yellow gold is used with an alloy of pure silver to create green gold. The effect is also subtle and may not be noticeable unless compared with another color of gold. Shop a selection of green gold pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Whether or not gold watches are real gold depends on the timepiece. Some gold watches simply have a gold-toned finish and contain no real gold.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    The difference between yellow gold and white gold comes down to the alloys used to produce them. Yellow gold gets its color from pure gold and alloy metals in warm hues like copper.

  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
