- 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.

- 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 high jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024High jewelry is the term for luxury jewelry made with the highest quality of materials and with the highest level of craftsmanship.
