Questions About Seal With Ball
- What is a seal ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A seal ring — or signet ring — is a popular gift for anyone who desires an expressive, timeless piece of jewelry that can feature all manner of engraved motifs, gemstones, specific symbols or monograms. Signet rings get their name from signus, which means “sign” in Latin. The rings, which may historically be referred to as “seal rings,” date back thousands of years and were used as a form of signature. Whatever may have been engraved on the ring — a married couple’s initials, a family crest — identified ownership for the purposes of authenticating documents and more when impressed on soft wax. Find antique and vintage signet rings on 1stDibs.
- What is Chinese seal carving?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Chinese seal carving refers to the traditional art of engraving the active side of a stamp or seal. Typically, the seals were made using stone, but bamboo, bone and wood could also be used. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of authentic Chinese seal carvings from some of the world’s top sellers.
- What is a seal skin coat?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A seal skin coat is a coat made from seal. Seals have no under fur, so seal skin is appealing because it’s lightweight as well as being wind and water resistant. Shop a selection of fur garments, including seal skin, on 1stDibs.
- Does teak need to be sealed?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Generally, teak does not need to be sealed.

Shop a large collection of Rolex watches from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Whether Patek Philippe watches have the Geneva Seal on them depends on their age.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Today, a disco ball usually represents the 1970s.
