Question 8

What is David Bailey famous for?

Accepted Answer

David Bailey is famous for his work as a photographer. At 15, the London-born David Bailey was jazz-mad and Picasso-loving but, being a dyslexic cockney, was booted out of school. Escape from gritty East London seemed unlikely until he picked up a Rolleiflex during his stint in the National Service. Three years later, in 1960, he was under contract at British Vogue.

Prodigiously talented, Bailey was also wildly charismatic and uncommonly pretty, a high-octane amalgam that no doubt fueled his meteoric rise. Soon, he was chronicling and surfing the cultural tsunami that transformed London in the Swinging Sixties, when young creatives from music, fashion, advertising, theater, film, TV and journalism toppled the British establishment to become the new royalty. This was the moment when the seeds of celebrity culture were sown.

Bailey snapped all these revolutionary artists: John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Michael Caine, Tom Stoppard and David Hockney. Each and every one looks impossibly dewy and fresh and brims with an entirely modern derring-do. So, too, do “the beautiful birds,” as Bailey called the alluring models and actresses who defined that decade: the exquisite Jean “Shrimp” Shrimpton, Twiggy, Penelope Tree, Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau and Catherine Deneuve.

Question 9

How can you tell if a star sapphire is natural?

Accepted Answer

One way to tell if a star sapphire is natural is to shine a flashlight on it while in total darkness. On a genuine star sapphire, the light that reflects off of the stone will be the same color as the stone. Glass and other materials used to create synthetic stones may show reflections in different colors. To be certain of the authenticity of a gemstone, take it to an experienced jeweler or appraiser for an evaluation. On 1stDibs, find a selection of star sapphire jewelry.

Question 10

Question 12

Are star sapphires real gems?

Accepted Answer

Question 13

Accepted Answer

Non-blue colored sapphires are referred to as “fancy sapphires” and can be pink, purple, orange, yellow or green. Shop a collection of vintage and modern sapphire jewelry from some of the world’s top jewelers on 1stDibs.

Question 14

What does blue star sapphire mean?

Question 16

Can I resize a David Yurman bracelet?

Accepted Answer

Whether or not you can resize a David Yurman bracelet depends on its design. Some pieces are suitable for resizing. However, you should take the bracelet to an authorized service center rather than trying to do the job yourself to avoid damaging your jewelry. Contact David Yurman's customer care center through their website for assistance. You can find a range of David Yurman bracelets on 1stDibs.

Question 17

Do David Yurman bracelets tarnish?

Accepted Answer

No, authentic David Yurman bracelets should not tarnish even with regular wear. David Yurman bracelets are crafted with gold or platinum, which are naturally tarnish-resistant, however, they can lose their luster over time. To keep your David Yurman pieces looking their best, be sure to polish and clean your jewelry regularly, as well as remove any jewelry at night and before exposure to water. Shop a selection of David Yurman pieces on 1stDibs.

Question 18

How can you tell if David Yurman is authentic?

Accepted Answer

To tell if David Yurman is authentic, first look for the luxury jeweler’s maker’s mark. Authentic pieces will feature a D.Y., D. Yurman or David Yurman stamp. This stamp should be accompanied by a copyright symbol and indicators of metal content, which will denote the presence of sterling silver or gold purity. The maker’s mark should be crisp and clear, with numbers and letters evenly spaced.

Also, carefully examine the jewelry up close. The David Yurman brand is an internationally renowned fine jewelry empire — if you see cracks or flaws in the gemstones (which are always genuine precious or semi-precious gemstones), glue or soldering marks or other imperfections, the piece is unlikely to be genuine. If you need assistance authenticating a particular accessory, seek the help of a certified jewelry appraiser.

On 1stDibs, shop a selection of David Yurman jewelry.

Question 19

How do I identify David Webb jewelry?

Accepted Answer

By comparing your piece to pictures shared on trusted online resources, you can then determine when your piece was produced, find out its name and learn further information. David Webb also offers an authentication service, though there is a fee to use it. Information about how to request an authentication is available on the brand's official website. On 1stDibs, explore an assortment of David Webb jewelry.

Question 20
