    Emeralds are quite rare. This gemstone is rarer and more expensive than a diamond.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    Birkins are so rare because of a range of factors. Each is handmade by a single expert craftsperson at the celebrated French luxury house Hermès, so this is going to limit how many can be produced in a year. A limited assortment of leathers and colors is released annually, and bags made in exotic skins such as lizard, ostrich and porosus and niloticus crocodile are exceedingly rare. Demand for the bags is astronomically high because the Birkin, which debuted in 1984, is considered an iconic design and is a coveted item all over the world. Additionally, customers are required to have a purchase history with Hermès in order to buy a new Birkin, and the company only allows boutiques to purchase a specified number of Birkins bi-annually. And Birkins are among the most expensive handbags in the world, so this isn’t an accessory that you’re going to see everyday. Shop an assortment of Hermès Birkin bags on 1stDibs.

For each collection, Chanel produces handbags in a set range of colors, and usually only a limited number of bags like the Chanel Classic Flap Bag and Chanel Boy Bag are available in So Black. Because the seasonal selection is small and there is usually great demand for the black-on-black bags, it can be hard to find one at a Chanel boutique. However, you can often buy them on trusted online platforms. Explore a variety of Chanel So Black bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    A completely natural emerald is rare. Often, emeralds go through treatments to enhance their appearance or durability. Compared to diamonds, emeralds are actually 20 times rarer. While they’re rare, emeralds are gemstones to purchase if you’re on a budget because they appear larger than a diamond of the same carat weight due to their lower density. Emeralds are believed by many to symbolize royalty, love and mysticism. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of emerald jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Rolex never made a “Root Beer” watch. It did make a color combination of a brown dial and brown insert, and the inserts are sometimes called root beer bezels. The Rolesor Root Beer GMT-Master became the unofficial root beer Rolex in the 1970s but it had other nicknames too. It’s these early iterations of this watch that are considered rare, but the color combination is not as rare as the Root Beer GMTs are. On 1stDibs, find vintage and contemporary Rolex watches from top sellers around the world.
