Questions About Shell And Diamond
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    Shell chairs are iconic mid-century modern chairs designed by Hans J. Wegner and first released in 1963. In terms of both process and aesthetics, the Shell chair was ahead of its time when it was introduced. The expressive seat and back are made out of form-pressed oak or walnut laminates and topped with upholstered cushions for maximum comfort. Its design includes a tapered three-leg structure with two front legs made of one continuous piece and a separate hind leg that supports the backrest. This gives the chair a feeling of lightness without sacrificing stability. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Shell chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Whether the Shell chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, creator Hans J. Wegner designed the curves of the backrest and the seat to complement the contours of the human body in order to provide ample support when the Shell chair made its debut in 1963. Chairs became Wegner’s specialty, and over the years he designed over 500 of them. More than 100 of his designs, such as the Wishbone chair and the Papa Bear chair, went into production. Shop a selection of Shell chairs and other vintage Hans Wegner seating on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, if used properly, some artillery shells can explode. In the 19th century, artillery shells were designed to burst on impact causing shrapnel. Military collectors and firearm enthusiasts often proudly display artillery shells as vintage decor. Shop a selection of military memorabilia on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    The history of the Wegner Shell Chair begins in 1963. Hans J. Wegner unveiled the chair at the Furniture Guild Exhibition in Copenhagen, Denmark. Often described as being "wing-like," the chair's radical fluid lines were considered a bit too futuristic at the time. Initially, mixed reviews from critics and the general public, as well as production difficulties, resulted in a very limited early run. Twelve new models were produced for a retrospective exhibition celebrating Wegner's 77th birthday in 1989, and the design began garnering renewed attention (a photograph of the chair was even selected to grace the cover of the exhibition catalog). In 1998, nearly a decade following the piece's reemergence at the retrospective event, Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced the Shell chair 35 years after it was first released, and it has felt relevant ever since. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Hans Wegner Shell chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Whether or not the Wegner shell chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal preference. Wegner did design the dramatically curved seat and gently tapered back to properly support the contours of the human body. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Hans Wegner chairs.

    Red diamonds are considered the most rare diamond color on this planet with less than 30 true red diamonds in known existence. Interestingly, red diamonds get their color from carbon, and are a rare occurrence in the atomic structure. Other diamonds get their color from impurities that exist in the gem.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, a black diamond is a real diamond. Black diamonds have the same chemical composition as traditional colorless diamonds. Although black diamonds are rarer than colorless diamonds, they are less coveted and therefore cheaper.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, a black diamond is indeed a real diamond. There are three types of black diamonds; natural, Carbonado and treated black diamonds. Treated black diamonds are altered with high pressure and high heat to achieve the black color. Shop a collection of expertly vetted gems from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, chocolate diamonds are the same as champagne diamonds. Often marketed as two different types of diamonds, both champagne and chocolate diamonds refer to the yellowish-brown hue of the stone: champagne for a lighter hue, chocolate for a deeper hue. Find a variety of champagne diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Russian diamonds are real diamonds but they also might be created diamonds. Calling a diamond a Russian diamond only refers to the place of origin, not whether it’s real or not. While Russia does mine diamonds, they also produce lab-grown diamonds, sometimes called synthetic or created diamonds. No matter how they’re produced, they are still real diamonds. Shop a collection of authentic Russian diamonds from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not a green diamond is real depends on the gemstone in question. Green diamonds do occur naturally, however they are very rare. As a result, most green diamond gemstones are man-made. Shop a range of expertly vetted green diamond gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Yes, a blue diamond is a real diamond. Contrary to popular belief, diamonds come in an array of colors aside from clear. Blue diamonds are neither color-treated nor enhanced to deliver the icy shade, which can range from a seafoam green to a royal blue.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Yes, a natural diamond is a real diamond. The stones are made from carbon that’s been compressed beneath the earth’s surface for billions of years. The result is a diamond, the hardest known substance on earth.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not yellow diamonds are real depends on the piece. Yellow diamonds occur in nature when nitrogen mixes with the gem. Because the gemstones are rare, most yellow diamond jewelry features man-made gemstones. Find a selection of expertly vetted yellow diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Whether pink diamonds are real depends on the gemstone in question. Real pink diamonds do occur in nature, but they are very rare. As a result, most pink diamonds are man-made by tinting lab-created diamonds. On 1stDibs, find a range of pink diamond gemstone jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    Yes, an uncut diamond is a real diamond. However, it may not look much like the diamonds that you're accustomed to seeing set in jewelry. Uncut means that a diamond is in its raw form. Most jewelry features diamonds that have facets cut into their surfaces, and jewelry makers polish the stones to enhance their appearance. Shop a variety of diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
