  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Photography is considered a fine art by many, although this is controversial.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Fine art encompasses drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography, among other genres.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    What is considered fine jewelry is somewhat open to interpretation. Typically, fine jewelry features precious metals like sterling silver, gold and platinum. Any stones featured in pieces are generally genuine gemstones like diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. The term fine jewelry is different from fashion jewelry, which is usually more modestly priced and typically doesn't feature precious metals and genuine gemstones. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell how old a cameo brooch is for certain, you usually need to consult a licensed jewelry appraiser.

Find a selection of expertly vetted antique cameo brooches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are a few tell-tale signs you can look for to determine whether your coral is real or fake. One thing you can do is hold your cameo up to the light and look for a silhouette of the design; a real shell will show an outline. You can also try the hot needle test by placing a hot needle on the cameo. If it’s plastic there will be some melting. Shop a collection of authentic cameos from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
