Question 9

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. On replicas, the soles are frequently plastic or synthetic leather rather than the vibrant cherry red used for genuine red bottoms. 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. If you're unsure about the authenticity of a particular pair of shoes, have a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert evaluate them. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Christian Louboutin shoes.

Question 16

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. These bench-like seats, intended for reclining and other activities, were covered with cushions and soft blankets. Some featured ornately carved wood or stone backrests, while others lacked backs entirely. While the term “couch” comes from the Old French “couche,” meaning to lie down, and sofa has Eastern origins, both are forms of “divan,” a Turkish word that means an elongated cushioned seat. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of couches.

Question 17

What does a real pearl look like?

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. Their surfaces often have variations in texture, such as small bumps or grooves, due to their natural origins. No two pearls will be completely identical in color, shape and texture. If you have a piece of jewelry with completely uniform pearls, it is unlikely to feature real pearls. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of pearl jewelry.

Shop a selection of Gucci pieces from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.

Question 19

What length necklace looks best?

Accepted Answer

What length necklace looks best depends on two main factors: your neck and what you're wearing. Generally, necklaces that are 18 inches or longer create the illusion of a longer, thinner neck, while shorter necklaces like chokers and collars visually shorten and widen the neck. 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.

Question 20

What do Shaker cabinets look like?

Accepted Answer

What Shaker cabinets look like can be summed up with the word “box-like.” The doors on Shaker cabinetry have a standard rectangular shape and four defined squared-off corners. What separates them from traditional cabinets is the inset center panel that adds dimension to their appearance. While the “Shaker style” label is today given to many plain, simple wooden pieces, it should also denote superior construction and solid materials. Authentic Shaker cabinets were painstakingly crafted from woods like maple and cherry using traditional methods such as mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joinery and lathe turning.
