Questions About Jewelry By Fred
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024The history of the Fred brand begins in 1936. That year, a young jeweler named Fred Samuel founded a shop in Paris, France.
Samuel was known for his casual yet sophisticated style, working with diamonds, pearls and colored gemstones to create smart jewelry for all occasions. The sign above his storefront on rue Royale initially was branded with the founder's full name, but during the 1940s, the "Samuel" part came down. Samuel created his famous Force 10 bracelet in 1966, and it became one of the brand's signature pieces. Inspired by its creator's love for the sea, the Force 10 bracelet features a braided steel sailing cable and a gold buckle.
In 1996, Fred Paris was acquired by the luxury holding company LVMH. Fred Samuel passed away in 2006, but Fred Paris continued his legacy in jewelry. The 2016 Chance Infinie line paid homage to the creativity and playfulness of the company's founder.
Find a collection of Fred Paris jewelry on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Fred Herzog used a number of different cameras throughout his career, including Nikon, Leica, Kodak and Canon. He used these along with his favorite Kodachrome film to capture the scenes of Vancouver, Canada for which he is most celebrated. Shop Fred Herzog photography on 1stDibs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Fred Herzog did not use one particular focal length or even one particular camera. The German-Canadian photographer tended to change the way he shot based on his mood, the setting and the subject he intended to capture. You'll find a selection of Fred Herzog photographic art on 1stDibs.
- 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Quality and rarity define the difference between fine jewelry and high jewelry. Any jewelry that features fine materials, like precious metals and gemstones, may be considered fine 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.
- 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.
- What is Vendome jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Vendome jewelry is a line of jewelry produced by the U.S.-based jewelry maker Coro. It was available from 1944 to 1979 and was especially popular during the 1940s and ’50s. Luxury retailers, such as Saks Fifth Avenue, sold the line. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Vendome jewelry.
- What is Aurafin Jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024Aurafin Jewelry is a company that designs, manufactures and distributes jewelry. It started in 1979 in Miami, Florida. Today, Aurafin is best known for its rings, pendants, bracelets and earrings made of gold and diamonds. The company also produces bespoke jewelry that is custom-made for customers. Explore a range of Aurafin jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is cloisonné jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 8, 2024Cloisonné 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. - What is jewelry used for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Jewelry 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.
- What is Piaget jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Piaget 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.
- What is convertible jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A product of the Art Deco era, convertible jewelry is that which can change from one form to another. A necklace can become earrings, or a ring can become a bracelet. Van Cleef and Arpel are one of the most famous designers of convertible jewelry, with some elaborate designs taking a decade to create. Shop a collection of convertible jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a lavalier jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The term lavalier jewelry originally referred to jewelry in the form of a pendant worn around the neck. The lavalier, which came into fashion in the 17th century, was usually a small, jeweled gold locket, though it could also be an enameled locket or pendant. Find a collection of antique and vintage lavalier on 1stDibs.
- What is a jewelry parure?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022“Parure” is the French word for “set”, so the term jewelry parure means jewelry set. A set can include matching earrings, necklace, brooch and bracelet. Other accessories may also be included. Shop a collection of jewelry sets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is filigree jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Filigree jewelry is jewelry made by twisting precious metals into an intricate, delicate, and romantic style of design and then soldering it onto or into the jewelry. Typical designs include scrolls, lace, and symmetrical Art-Deco motifs. This type of jewelry was especially popular in the first part of the 20th century.
- What is enamel jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Enamel jewelry is a type of decorative accessory produced by applying melted glass onto metal.
