Questions About Antique Jewelry Fine
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    Yes, fine jewelry is generally real jewelry. By definition, fine jewelry is jewelry produced using high-end materials, such as genuine sterling silver, gold and platinum. Gemstones may be natural or lab-created, as both types of stones are considered real based on their identical chemical compositions. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of fine jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between fine jewelry and jewelry is in the specificity of the terms. Jewelry is a broad category of small accessories, most often made of metal, that adorn different parts of the body. Examples of jewelry include necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and brooches. Fine jewelry is the term for jewelry crafted out of fine materials. These include precious metals such as silver, gold and platinum and gemstones like diamonds, emeralds and rubies. Find a wide variety of fine jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 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 ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    Yes, fine jewelry is real in terms of its materials. By definition, fine jewelry features genuine precious metals, such as gold, platinum and sterling silver. Any pearls or gemstones set in pieces are also genuine, though in some cases, they may be human-made rather than naturally occurring. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of fine jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    Many jewelry lovers believe that fine jewelry is worth it. Featuring precious metals and genuine gemstones, fine jewelry often holds or gains value over time, and these materials make it visually appealing. Also, fine jewelry is often crafted by hand using traditional techniques, giving it a high level of quality that can help it stand the test of time. However, vintage and antique costume jewelry can also be attractive and finely crafted. When choosing jewelry, consider where and how frequently you'll wear it, your style, budget and other factors. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How you define high jewelry versus fine jewelry is largely a matter of personal opinion because the terms do not have formal definitions. Generally, fine jewelry is any piece of jewelry carefully crafted out of precious materials like metal and gemstones. High jewelry is a term used by collectors to describe jewelry of significant value. Exceptional craftsmanship, one-of-a-kind signs and highly sought pieces may fall under the category. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    Quality and rarity define the difference between fine jewelry and high jewelry. Any jewelry that features fine materials, like precious metals and gemstones, may be considered fine jewelry.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, fine jewelery is a good long-term investment. Often it takes jewelry up to 30 years to appreciate. Many types of jewelry hold their value quite well.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    Many jewelry lovers believe that fine jewelry is worth buying. Not only does fine jewelry typically feature precious metals and gemstones that have value on their own, but the pieces also often boast exceptional craftsmanship that allows them to stand the test of time. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in fine jewelry is totally subjective. At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Shop a wide range of fine jewelry on 1stDibs.

    To tell if jewelry is antique, look for its hallmarks. You will usually find them in inconspicuous areas, such as on clasps, the backs of pendants or the insides of bracelets and rings. Once you have located the hallmarks, use trusted online resources to identify the maker and find out when they were active. Pieces produced more than 100 years ago are antique. If you need assistance dating a particular piece, enlist the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer. Find a large collection of antique jewelry on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify antique jewelry, first try to locate any maker's markings. These may be found in a variety of inconspicuous locations, such as the insides of rings, the clasps of bracelets and chains and the backs of clip-on earrings, pendants and brooches. You can find trustworthy online reference guides that make searching for makers using their hallmarks easy. Once you have determined who produced your jewelry, learn about the creator and estimate approximately when they made your item. If your jewelry is at least 100 years old, it is antique. Alternatively, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist in dating your jewelry. Find a wide range of antique jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    To tell if antique jewelry is real, first look for hallmarks that may signify the maker. You can then use trusted online resources to find out what to look for to verify authenticity.

An expert can evaluate your jewelry, tell you whether it is a genuine antique and provide information about its materials and approximate value. Explore a large selection of antique jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Jewelry is considered antique once it is 100 years old. Pieces that are 20 to 99 years old are vintage. Contemporary is the term used to describe jewelry that is less than 20 years old. Explore a large selection of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    To tell if jewelry is vintage or antique, first look for any hallmarks that signify its maker. You can use trusted online resources to research when the maker was active and producing pieces similar to yours to roughly estimate its age. Jewelry is vintage if it's between 20 and 99 years old, and antique if it is 100 years old or more. If you're unable to locate a maker's hallmark, becoming familiar with the materials and other characteristics used during different eras of jewelry can help you date your piece. When in doubt, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of vintage and antique jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Yes, some antique jewelry does go up in value. It is important to note that demand as well as the condition of your specific piece will have a major effect on how much it is worth.
