Questions About Jewelry And Beads
- What is a beaded cuff?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A beaded cuff is a usually rigid bracelet made out of beads. These cuffs are mostly hand-made using beads that are either stitched, woven, or artistically glued on different materials to make the bracelet. A range of cuffs from different periods featuring unique designs and ornamentation is available on 1stDibs.
- What is an Ojime bead?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021An ojime bead is a handcrafted decorative bead that is used in carrying cases. These beads are carved into specific shapes or feature images. They originated in Japan, and ojime in Japanese means “cord fastener.” The beads are usually 1 inch or less in diameter.
- 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.
- What is a beaded shoe called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021Beaded shoes are called Peranakan. Peranakan beaded slippers, also known as Kasut Manik, which literally means "beaded shoes," are a form of shoe that originated in Malaya in the early 20th century. On 1stDibs, shop designer shoes from top fashion brands today.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The beads on a rosary count one's prayers and indicate which prayer to say. Rosary beads allow one to clear one's mind and fully meditate on the prayer.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022In Africa, beads represent a number of things. Beaded waist jewelry worn by women in West Africa symbolize sensuality, fertility, femininity, wealth and spiritual health. Some African tribes associate different bead colors with levels of social standing or power. Shop a selection of bead jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What do coral beads mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What coral beads mean is largely a matter of personal interpretation. In West Africa, people tend to associate coral beads with royalty and power. Coral beads first arrived in Benin, Africa, during the 16th century when the Portuguese traded them for local handicrafts. You'll find a selection of coral bead jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Are dzi beads natural?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, dzi beads come from natural materials. Often, artisans produce them out of agate and other types of stone. However, some modern replicas may feature resin construction. You'll find a range of dzi beads from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Identifying an antique bead is a careful art. First inspect the bead for any seams that could indicate it was molded in a contemporary fashion. Antique beads tend to have a larger center hole. Inspect the bead for signs of natural age. An expert can help you confirm the approximate age of your bead. Shop a range of antique beads from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What do amber bead necklaces do?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Amber bead necklaces are believed to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. Amber is a fossilized tree resin that contains succinic acid. Many believe that when amber is heated against the body, it releases the acid onto the skin where it is absorbed, providing a boost to the body’s immune system. Find an assortment of amber bead necklaces on 1stDibs.
- When were beaded bags popular?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Beaded bags became very popular in the late 1800s, first in France where the fashion of the day was established. As women’s clothing became more form-fitting, they lost pockets which necessitated carrying a handbag. Small beaded bags were the perfect accessory and they allowed a woman to show off her beading skills. Find a collection of vintage and modern beaded bags on 1stDibs.
- Where do dzi beads come from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Made from dzi agate or carnelian, dzi beads can be found in Central Asia, specifically Nepal, Tibet and India. The beads were worn by Tibetan chiefs, who were often cremated with them after death. You’ll find a variety of dzi bead products from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Coral has several meanings and properties. Many consider coral to be the stone of peace, harmony and transformation and that it can help reduce stress and fear. Coral is also sought for its deep red to soft pink hue. Shop a selection of coral bead jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Can a beaded dress be taken in?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Yes, a beaded dress can be taken in. However, the process is generally more time-consuming because individual beads need to be removed during the alteration process. As a result, you can typically expect to pay a professional seamstress or tailor more for altering beaded dresses. On 1stDibs, find a variety of beaded dresses from some of the world’s top boutiques.
- What is a Samoan bead necklace?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023A Samoan bead necklace is a type of jewelry produced by the Indigenous people of Samoa, an island nation located in the Pacific Ocean.

- 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.

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.
