Questions About Old Mughal Jewelry
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To tell how old jewelry is, you can compare its stylistic features to images of pieces featured on trusted online resources (engraving on a signet ring, for example, may indicate that a piece dates back at least to the 1900s). Another option is to look for a stamp or hallmark that indicates who the maker is. With some research, you may be able to determine where a manufacturer was located and how long the company was in business. It’s important to note that not all vintage or antique-looking jewelry is actually vintage or antique. Experts recommend that you take the jewelry to a certified appraiser who can evaluate and date the piece. Shop a range of jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    How old Weiss jewelry is varies from piece to piece. The American jewelry maker produced jewelry from 1942 until its closure in 1971. Weiss was particularly well known for creating jewelry sets with crystal rhinestones. One of the brand's most famous lines was the Black Diamond series, which featured smoky gray stones. Shop a variety of Weiss jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    To tell how old costume jewelry is, first look for identifying marks. You can then use trusted online resources to determine who made the piece. Once you know the maker, you can then research their designs to try and estimate the age. The best way to determine how old a piece of costume jewelry is would be to consult a knowledgeable appraiser or antique jewelry dealer for assistance with dating the accessory. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of vintage and antique jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Vintage costume jewelry refers to costume jewelry that is 20 to 80 years old. Jewelry, costume or otherwise, that is 100 years old is referred to as antique. The big design fair in Paris in 1900 inspired jewelers to work with inexpensive materials, and Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel and others helped popularize costume jewelry during the 1920s. The roots of costume jewelry, however, took shape at least as far back as the 18th century, when paste jewelry that featured hand-cut glass instead of gemstones first emerged. Shop a variety of vintage costume jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    To find out how much your old jewelry is worth, you can conduct online research, seeing what similar pieces have sold for in the past on reputable online platforms. However, if you want a more specific price, it's best to enlist the services of an antique jewelry specialist or appraiser. A knowledgeable expert can inspect your jewelry and give you an estimate of its value based on its maker, age, rarity, condition and other factors. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique and vintage jewelry.
