Questions About Silver And Beans
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024The Tiffany Bean symbolizes the origins of life (all seeds are typically seen as metaphors for growth, potential and a beginning). Designer Elsa Peretti created the now iconic Tiffany & Co. Bean motif in 1974. Recognized for her ability to distill nature down to its essence, Peretti created sleek organic forms that achieve purity through a fearless elimination of details. (Her other revered works include designs based on a scorpion, an apple, a starfish and a snake.) Today, skilled artisans working in Japan meticulously craft each Bean design by hand (a traditional 70-step process is involved). There are now Bean pendants, earrings, bracelets and more. Find a selection of Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. Bean jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Is Taxco silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Yes, Taxco silver is real silver. Pieces bearing the Taxco mark come from silversmith workshops located in Taxco, Mexico. The region has been known as a major center for silver production since the 1920s. Find a diverse assortment of Taxco silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- Is Gorham silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Gorham silver is real silver, however, the silver content changes depending on the item. Some Gorham items are sterling silver, which isn’t pure silver, but a mix of mostly silver and a small amount of another alloy, likely copper. Some other Gorham items are silver-plated. Shop a collection of Gorham silver jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Is Russian silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Russian silver is real silver, but it gets a little confusing because they do not have the same sterling silver standards that Europe, Australia, Canada, the United States and other countries associated with the British Commonwealth have. Russian silver is roughly 94.79% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. The British Commonwealth silver standard uses 92.5% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. Shop a collection of authentic Russian silver from some of the worlds top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The difference between silver and antique silver is age. Items of any age made of silver or a silver alloy may be called silver. The term antique silver refers to silver pieces that are at least 100 years old. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique, vintage and modern silver tableware and decorative objects.
- Is Poole Silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Yes, Poole Silver is real silver. However, the American silversmith didn't produce all of its pieces out of solid silver. Poole developed an electro-plating technique that allowed a thin, durable layer of silver to be applied over sturdy base metals. On 1stDibs, find a range of Poole Silver Co. silver wares.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024To tell silver from silver plating, try holding a strong magnet near the item. If the magnet is attracted to the piece, it is most likely silver-plated, as solid silver is unlikely to be magnetic. You can also check the hallmarks. Markings that say silver plate, EP, EPNS, EPBM or BP indicate plating. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer evaluate the piece. Explore a large selection of silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- Is antique silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not antique silver is real depends on the piece. Sometimes, manufacturers simply call a gray-silver finish antique silver. In these cases, the item is usually not real silver. It is possible for antique silver to be pure silver, sterling or silver plated. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of silver decorative objects and jewelry.
- Is Thai silver sterling silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Most thai silver has more pure silver in it than standard sterling silver. Most sterling silver is 92.5% silver with another alloy, typically copper, making up the rest of the metal. Thai silver often falls in the range of 97.5-99% pure silver, so a significantly higher percentage of it is pure silver, making it softer and less likely to tarnish. On 1stDibs, find vintage and contemporary silver jewelry from top sellers around the world.
- Is Sheffield silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Sheffield silver is part real silver, part copper. Sheffield manufactured what is known as a Sheffield plate, which is a “double sandwich” form of plating—it has a sheet of silver on each side of a piece of copper. Shop a selection of Sheffield pieces on 1stDibs.
- Is silver cutlery real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022It depends on the make and model whether or not silver cutlery contains real silver. Some flatware contains a percentage of sterling silver, however, not all silvertone flatware contains silver. Shop a wide collection of flatware, including silver, on 1stDIbs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The difference between silver and sterling silver is its composition. Silver is a general term used to describe metal that is rich in or made completely of the element silver. Sterling silver is a specific alloy with 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals like nickel or brass. Fine silver is the term for 99.9% pure silver. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of silver jewelry, watches, tableware and decorative accents.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, the International Silver Company produced real silver products. The marking IS, or International Silver, does not indicate the purity of the silver. In order to determine if the piece is real silver, look for the mark “925,” which indicates sterling silver.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if your teapot is silver or silver plated, look for markings. Sterling silver teapots often show some type of markings, while silver plate pieces rarely have hallmarks. An expert licensed appraiser can assist with identification. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of expertly vetted silver teapots.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A sterling silver spoon is mostly fine silver, but not quite solid silver. Sterling silver is an alloyed form of silver, and is 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper. You can shop a collection of authentic sterling silver items from some of the worlds top dealers on 1stDibs.
- What is a silver tazza?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A tazza is a popular kind of plate — it means “cup” in Italian. Antique silver tazzas were common in the Georgian era. They are essentially dishes positioned atop a stem with a wide base. A tazza could be used in a functional way and can save space on a dinner table given that it is an elevated surface but can also be used as a merely decorative piece in the living room, perhaps to hold collectible items for display. Shop a range of antique and vintage silver tazzas on 1stDibs.
- What is oxidized silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021When sterling silver is exposed to sulfur-containing gases in the air, its top layer can turn a blackish gray color. This is called oxidation. It's easy to clean if you have a silver-polishing kit.
- What is Silver Sapphire?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Silver sapphire is an opaque gemstone with a blue-gray to silver-gray color. While opaque sapphires are usually lower quality gemstones, the same is not true for silver sapphires.
- What is a silver epergne?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021Silver epergne is a type of table centerpiece that is usually made of silver. An epergne generally has a large central "bowl" or basket that sits on a three to five-foot stand. Shop a range of silver epergnes on 1stDibs.
- What is Taxco silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024Taxco silver is the term for silver jewelry and decorative objects produced in a certain part of the world. Specifically, Taxco pieces originate from Taxco de Alarcón, Mexico, which was once home to silver mines. Designer William Spratling relocated to the area in the 1920s and began producing tableware and jewelry out of a studio there. Apprentices traveled to Taxco to learn from him and then remained in the region, eventually making Taxco a major producer of artisan-crafted silver pieces. Find an assortment of Taxco silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects.
