Questions About Jewelry With Provenance
- 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 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. 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.
- What is Frivole jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Frivole jewelry is a line produced by the luxury jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels. In French, frivole means frivolous or light and cheerful, and the term perfectly reflects the airy, whimsical quality of pieces in the Frivole collection. The line features a recurring floral motif with heart-shaped petals that sparkle with pavé gemstones or surround gemstone centers. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Van Cleef & Arpels Frivole jewelry.
- What is Solje jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Solje jewelry is a type of decorative accessory that originates from Norway.

On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Stambolian jewelry.
- What is intaglio jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Intaglio jewelry is jewelry that features a central stone on which an artisan carves artwork on the back. This creates a recessed image when a viewer examines the jewelry from the front. It differs from the raised reliefs on cameo jewelry. Shop a range of intaglio jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is guilloche jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Guilloche jewelry consists of intricate concentric designs engraved onto metal through a lathe machine. These elaborate designs are covered by translucent enamel. Shop vintage and contemporary guilloche jewelry on 1stDibs.

- What is Pinchbeck jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Pinchbeck jewelry looks very similar to gold in appearance but is instead made of brass. It was traditionally used when there was risk of theft, such as on stagecoaches.
- Is Piaget a jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Piaget is a Swiss luxury brand known for its watches and other jewelry.

- What is HW jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022HW jewelry is an abbreviation for Harry Winston jewelry. In 1932, jewelry maker Harry Winston founded the company as Harry H. Winston Jewels, Inc. It began operating under its current name in 1936. You'll find a collection of Harry Winston jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is interchangeable jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Interchangeable jewelry can be adjusted to create different pieces depending on what style of jewelry you want that day. For interchangeable earrings, necklaces, bracelets and cuff links, the focal jewel or element can be replaced with a different color or style to suit your look. Shop a range of interchangeable jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is acrostic jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Acrostic jewelry spells a word by using the first letter of the gemstones used in the piece. For example, a piece of jewelry could say the word ‘regard’ by using a ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, another ruby, and lastly a diamond. Shop a collection of acrostic jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is VCA in jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The mark ‘VCA’ on a piece of jewelry is the brand name stamp of Van Cleef & Arpels.

- Who invented jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024It's not possible to say for certain who invented jewelry. Anthropologists have determined that our neanderthal ancestors produced jewelry out of natural materials. One of the oldest examples of jewelry is a necklace fashioned out of seashell beads, estimated to be around 115,000 years old. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry.
- 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.
