Questions About Brutalist Gold Jewelry
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Brutalist style jewelry tends to be edgy and bold, featuring natural-inspired textures and abstract design. The pieces often have a heavy look and can flaunt bright colors or contrasting materials. Shop a collection of brutalist style jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Matte gold jewelry refers to a type of finishing technique. A matte finish on metals like gold creates a sleek look. Jewelers use special polishing tools to wear down the surface of the piece, creating the matte finish. Shop a selection of matte gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Mexican gold jewelry is often made from 10 karat and 14 karat gold and is often stamped to identify the karat. The Mexican people have a rich history of gold jewelry dating back to the Mayan and Aztec empires, and Mexican gold jewelry is often very beautiful.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Yes, Hermès gold jewelry is real gold. The luxury French fashion house produces jewelry out of 18-karat yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. In addition, Hermès offers pendants, bracelets, earrings and other pieces made of other materials like enamel and genuine leather. Explore a diverse assortment of Hermès jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if gold jewelry is real, first look for hallmarks. Most gold jewelry will show either a number before the letter “K” for karat or feature a three-digit purity stamp, such as “585” for 14-karat gold or “750” for 18-karat gold. If you suspect that a hallmark may be fraudulent, try placing a magnet near your piece. Genuine gold isn't magnetic, so if there is a noticeable attraction, your jewelry is either gold-plated or made of a different material. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler can also tell you whether earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, pins and other pieces are real gold. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if jewelry is antique gold, take it to a licensed appraiser experienced in evaluating jewelry. It is difficult to identify jewelry materials using only the naked eye and online resources. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly vetted gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Yes, some Krementz jewelry is real gold. However, the maker typically produced gold-plated rather than full-gold pieces. Most Kremetz gold-plating features 18-karat gold, which is an alloy consisting of 75% pure gold and 25% base metal. Kremetz also made platinum-plated pieces. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Krementz jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, 22k gold does exist and it even exists in jewelry, but it’s not very common. 24k is pure gold and it’s simply too soft for jewelry and practical use, 18k is a very popular version of gold for jewelry, but it is possible to find 22k gold jewelry. Find an assortment of gold jewelry from the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, while gold nuggets can be melted down and crafted into pure gold, gold nuggets in their raw form are not deemed to be “jewelry-grade.” While actual gold nuggets aren’t crafted into jewelry pieces, gold is often molded to mimic an organic shape similar to that of a nugget. Shop a selection of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    Whether Grosse jewelry is real gold varies. A manufacturer of costume jewelry, Grosse tended to use less expensive metals, such as rhodium and brass, to produce its pieces.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024

On 1stDibs, find a range of Louis Vuitton jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 5, 2024
    Whether Trifari jewelry is real gold depends on its age. Jewelry produced by the brand between 1904 and 1946 usually features genuine gold, but newer pieces typically do not. In 1947, the jewelry maker introduced a patented metal alloy. Its unique properties meant that the alloy would resist tarnishing, and accessories made with the alloy could be plated with other metals to create a gold- or platinum-toned finish. Trifari called this base metal Trifanium. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of vintage Trifari jewelry and other costume jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    What non-gold jewelry is called varies, as there isn't a single term for all pieces made from alternative materials. Often, you will see people refer to fine jewelry by its materials. For example, sterling silver jewelry, platinum jewelry or titanium jewelry. When describing pieces crafted out of less expensive materials, you can use the terms fashion jewelry or costume jewelry. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    What the letters on gold jewelry mean varies. The letter P means that a piece is plumb and contains an exact amount of precious metal. For example, 14P would be plumb 14-karat and contain exactly 58.5% pure gold. GP indicates that the jewelry is gold-plated, while an R represents rolled gold. The meaning of GF is gold-filled, and the letters HGE denote that a piece has heavy gold electroplating. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Whether or not Christian Dior jewelry is real gold depends on the type in question. Dior often uses genuine 18-karat gold for its fine jewelry pieces. Fashion jewelry is usually not real gold. Instead, the brand applies a gold-tone finish to a base metal. Silver-tone pieces typically feature the same base metal under a layer of palladium. Find a large collection of Christian Dior jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Yes, Versace makes real gold jewelry. Specifically, pieces from the Italian luxury fashion house's high jewelry line feature genuine gold. Jewelry from Versace's fashion or costume line is less likely to contain real gold. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Versace jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    Yes, you can buy 24k gold jewelry. However, 24-karat gold is a much less commonly used material than 14-karat and 18-karat gold. As 100% pure gold, 24-karat gold tends to be softer and more susceptible to scratching and breakage, making alloys a more popular pick for jewelry makers to use when crafting pieces. Find a large collection of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
