Questions About Estate Cross Jewelry
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    Why it is called estate jewelry relates to the origin of pieces that fall under this category of adornment. Estate jewelry refers to pieces previously owned by someone else that became available for purchase as a part of an auction or sale after their death. An estate is the collective name for all the property and assets that an individual leaves to their heirs. Thus, estate jewelry gets its name from the fact that it is a part of a person's estate. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    Whether estate jewelry is real varies. The term “estate jewelry” describes earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, brooches and other pieces that become available for sale as a part of a person's estate after they die. Because people collect many kinds of jewelry, both fine jewelry — featuring precious metals and genuine gemstones — and costume jewelry — made of less expensive materials — can be part of an estate and therefore classified as estate jewelry. Find a diverse assortment of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    What a cross in jewelry represents is largely a matter of individual interpretation. To many people, a cross symbolizes the Christian faith. However, people sometimes wear cross necklaces, earrings and other pieces of jewelry purely as a fashion statement with no deeper meaning. On 1stDibs, find a collection of cross jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Whether cross jewelry is religious depends on the wearer's beliefs and intentions. For many people, the cross is a symbol of Christianity and wearing jewelry that features a cross is a sign of faith. However, crosses can also have a secular meaning. For example, cross necklaces and earrings are a staple of Goth-style fashion. Shop a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    To tell if estate jewelry is real, first look for hallmarks. Pieces crafted out of sterling silver, platinum, gold and other precious metals usually feature markings to identify their materials. You can find images of these markings on trusted online resources and compare them to your pieces. Maker's marks can also be a good indication. Some jewelry makers specialize in costume jewelry, which is less likely to feature genuine materials, while others produce fine jewelry, which is usually made of real gemstones and precious metals. If you still have questions about your pieces, a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can assist you. Shop a large collection of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Yes, estate jewelry can be worth buying. At estate sales, purchasing vintage and antique jewelry may be possible for less than you'd expect to pay elsewhere. In addition, many people appreciate the one-of-a-kind character of estate pieces. When it comes to buying estate jewelry, it’s important to patronize only reputable sources. This alone significantly diminishes the potential for mishap. Beyond buying from a reliable source, it’s important to get as much verifiable information about the accessory as possible. Buyers should keep in mind, however, that the value of any investment is subject to fluctuation, and any investment decisions should be made according to the guidance of a financial advisor. At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. If you’re looking for jewelry, a diverse assortment of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry can be found on 1stDibs from some of the world's top sellers.
