Question 7

How do you look good with a necklace?

Accepted Answer

To look good with a necklace, first choose one that matches the shape of the neckline of what you are wearing. For example, a curved necklace like a string of pearls can complement a scoop neck, while a lariat can beautifully fill in a V-neck. Next, consider the placement of the neckline, choosing a necklace that will hang above or below it rather than hitting right along it. The length and thickness of your neck should also influence your decision. Longer necklaces visually lengthen and narrow the neck, while shorter necklaces have the opposite effect. Finally, think about the occasion and the other jewelry you intend to wear. Bolder statement pieces can be balanced by more understated jewelry and vice versa, and many people prefer to reserve more dramatic jewelry looks for night and special occasions. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of necklaces.

Question 11

What do fake Louboutins look like?

Accepted Answer

Fake Louboutins often look similar to authentic shoes produced by the French luxury fashion house of Christian Louboutin until you inspect their details closely. Often, the soles provide clues.

Also, fakes may have noticeable glue marks where the sole joins the rest of the shoe. The logos on genuine soles are always embossed and should be in the correct font and deeply pressed into the leather. Printed logos, misspellings and shallow embossing usually indicate reproductions.

What did the first couch look like?

Accepted Answer

No one knows for sure what the first couch looked like. However, couches have been traced back to ancient Greece, where they were called klinai.

Some featured ornately carved wood or stone backrests, while others lacked backs entirely.

Accepted Answer

What a real pearl looks like can vary. However, real pearls typically have a noticeable luster and may be white, cream, pink, purple or gray.

You typically want a necklace to fall above or below rather than right at the neckline of a top or dress. As a result, many people own necklaces in varying lengths to match different outfits. Find a wide range of necklaces on 1stDibs.
