Dress With Jewels For Sale on 1stDibs

On 1stDibs, there are many options to choose from in our collection of dress with jewels. Many people prefer Black dress with jewels, but fashion is all about individuality — you can find Gray, Purple and more options on these pages. If you’re looking for accessories from a specific time period, our collection is diverse and broad-ranging, and you’ll find some that date back to the 20th Century while other versions may have been produced as recently as the 21st Century. Finding appealing dress with jewels such as these — no matter the origin — is easy, but Norman Norell, Christian Dior and Todd Oldham each produced popular versions that are worth a look. When shopping for these accessories, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for men or unisex today than there are for women.

How Much are Dress With Jewels?

Prices for dress with jewels can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — on 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $399 and can go as high as $18,000, while these items, on average, fetch $898.

Finding the Right Clothing for You

Start building your collection of covetable and iconic vintage clothing today — no matter where you roam, there is a curated selection of designer dresses and gowns, sweaters, shirts, dazzling shoes and more on 1stDibs that will keep you covered in the hottest styles from head to toe.

From elegant museum-worthy vintage Chanel dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing for sale on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement. 

For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think John Galliano and Roberto Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. 

Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino, Ralph Lauren and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Balmain endure for haute couture advocates and beyond. 

And vintage is the name of the game on today’s red carpets, too. Celebrity stylists are turning to archival pieces created by the likes of Bob Mackie, Thierry Mugler and Jean-Paul Gaultier as alternatives to new gowns plucked straight off the runway. Wearing such sought-after items gives celebrities instant allure and suggests a personal style that’s not only achingly glamorous but intellectually informed and influenced by a love of craftsmanship. 

Those seeking contemporary luxury looks and in-demand street-style fits can indulge in designs by Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu and Loro Piana, while pieces from Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace endure as examples of fashion’s most covetable goods. 

The future — and glamorous past — of fashion is yours for the wearing. Find vintage clothing and accessories for sale on 1stDibs, including designs by Balenciaga, Valentino, Celine, Loewe and more.

Questions About Dress With Jewels
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    Whether jewels are worth more than diamonds varies. The price of a diamond depends on its color, clarity, carat weight and cut. Rare-colored gemstones, such as alexandrites, emeralds, sapphires and rubies, may be worth more than a similarly sized diamond if the diamond is of low quality. Also, it's worth keeping in mind that diamonds technically are jewels as well. Shop a diverse assortment of diamond and colored gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    No, jewels and gems aren't the same thing exactly. Although many people use the words interchangeably, they actually have different meanings. A gem is a precious stone in its raw state before being worked, while a jewel is the term for a gem that has undergone shaping and polishing to sell on its own or be incorporated into a piece of jewelry. Explore a large selection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between jewellery and jewels is that one is a finished product, while the other is a raw material. A jewel is a precious stone, such as a diamond or an emerald. Jewellery is the term for wearable pieces fashioned out of precious metals, gemstones and other materials. Rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets are examples of jewellery. In the U.S. and Canada, people spell the word jewellery as jewelry, but the words refer to the same thing. Shop a wide range of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To tell if a jeweler is legit, conduct research using trusted online resources. Find out how long they have been in business and if they carry professional certifications.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
    Jewelers get Rolex watches in one of two ways. The first option is buying pre-owned watches from customers who no longer want to wear them. In order to sell new watches, a jeweler must become an official Rolex dealer by applying directly with the luxury manufacturer. Rolex uses a rigorous screening process when determining whether to add a retailer to its official network. Find a large collection of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022

    Yes, Rolex uses real jewels. For its movements, the Swiss luxury watchmaker usually uses human-made rubies. Although they're created in a laboratory and not mined, these gemstones are real. Gemstones used as visible accents on Rolex timepieces are generally natural stones that meet high quality standards. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Rolex watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    Whether a jeweler will tell you if your jewelry is real varies. If you're looking to determine whether the precious metals and gemstones in your pieces are genuine, most jewelers can assist with the process, though they may charge you a fee. Not all jewelers offer authentication services that will confirm whether jewelry is made by a particular jewelry maker. If you're in need of this type of assistance, a certified appraiser is more likely to be able to assist you. Shop a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The term “seven-jewel watch” means one that has seven pivots. This means that there are seven bearings on the wheel train that powers the movement of a mechanical watch. Pivots usually have natural or synthetic ruby gemstone insets, which is where the term jewel comes from. You'll find a collection of mechanical watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    No, Swarovski doesn't typically use real jewels. Swarovski is a well-known crystal manufacturer, producing a material made with glass hardened with lead to enhance its strength and light-reflective properties. As a result, Swarovski jewelry and decorative objects usually feature crystals rather than jewels or gemstones. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Swarovski pieces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The difference between a dress and a cocktail dress is mainly the specificity of the term. A dress is any garment that has a bodice attached to a skirt.

On 1stDibs, shop a collection of cocktail dresses from some of the world's top boutiques.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021
