Questions About S H Jewell
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    The difference between jewels and jewellers comes down to what the terms refer to. Also called gems, jewels are precious stones used to produce jewelry and decorative objects. Examples of jewels include diamonds, rubies and emeralds. Jewellers are people who sell jewelry or make jewelry using jewels, precious metals and other materials. The term jewellers is actually the British spelling. In the U.S., you will usually see the term spelled "jewelers." Explore a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between jeweler and jeweller is where people use the words. Both words describe someone who makes or sells jewelry.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between a goldsmith and a jeweler comes down to each type of artisan. Goldsmiths work exclusively with gold, producing jewelry out of the precious metal. Jewelers also craft jewelry, but they may use a variety of metals, including gold, silver, platinum and titanium. Some people also use the term jeweler to describe people who sell jewelry, even if they don't craft the pieces they sell themselves. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    Whether jewels are worth more than diamonds varies. The price of a diamond depends on its color, clarity, carat weight and cut. Rare-colored gemstones, such as alexandrites, emeralds, sapphires and rubies, may be worth more than a similarly sized diamond if the diamond is of low quality. Also, it's worth keeping in mind that diamonds technically are jewels as well. Shop a diverse assortment of diamond and colored gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To tell if a jeweler is legit, conduct research using trusted online resources. Find out how long they have been in business and if they carry professional certifications. Read online reviews to learn what previous customers have experienced with them. You may also consider buying jewelry from alternative sources, such as reputable online platforms. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
    Jewelers get Rolex watches in one of two ways. The first option is buying pre-owned watches from customers who no longer want to wear them. In order to sell new watches, a jeweler must become an official Rolex dealer by applying directly with the luxury manufacturer. Rolex uses a rigorous screening process when determining whether to add a retailer to its official network. Find a large collection of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    No, jewels and gems aren't the same thing exactly. Although many people use the words interchangeably, they actually have different meanings. A gem is a precious stone in its raw state before being worked, while a jewel is the term for a gem that has undergone shaping and polishing to sell on its own or be incorporated into a piece of jewelry. Explore a large selection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between jewellery and jewels is that one is a finished product, while the other is a raw material. A jewel is a precious stone, such as a diamond or an emerald. Jewellery is the term for wearable pieces fashioned out of precious metals, gemstones and other materials. Rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets are examples of jewellery. In the U.S. and Canada, people spell the word jewellery as jewelry, but the words refer to the same thing. Shop a wide range of jewelry on 1stDibs.

    The history of H. Stern begins with Hans Stern, who fled with his parents to Rio de Janeiro at the onset of World War II. There, he landed a job working for the precious stone and mineral exporter Cristab, regularly visiting mines on horseback. At the remote mines of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil, he cultivated relationships with many of the miners, developing professional connections that would endure for decades. He also developed a fascination with the colorful semi-precious stones found in the area. In 1945, he started his own company, H. Stern, with the goal of marketing Brazilian gemstones. Though the company began as a trader in gemstones, it soon expanded to jewelry, with Stern assembling and training a team of young jewelers. In 1949, H. Stern opened its first jewelry shop in Rio de Janeiro. During the 1980s, the brand debuted its first celebrity collaboration with French actress Catherine Deneuve. By the mid-1990s, the company was opening stores abroad and selling jewelry at international department stores. Today, the company is run by Stern's son, Roberto, who has introduced a broad range of new collections and styles. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of H. Stern jewelry.

    No, Swarovski doesn't typically use real jewels.
