Questions About No Heat Jewelry
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A no-heat sapphire is a sapphire gemstone in its natural state. It differs from sapphires that undergo heat treatment to enhance their surface. Generally, no-heat sapphires are smoother, while heated sapphires are harder and more lustrous. Shop a range of sapphire gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Yes, sapphires conduct heat. In fact, a real one won't melt until it reaches a temperature of 3,711 degrees F. As a result, one way that experts test sapphires to determine if they are real is to heat them to high temperatures. Find a collection of sapphire gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Burmese rubies are heat treated. Most rubies are heat treated directly at the mines because the treatment enhances the value and quality of the ruby. Shop a wide collection of Burmese ruby pieces as well as other fine jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not terracotta pots can withstand heat depends on how well they are made and cared for. A finely crafted pot can usually hold up in the face of high temperatures. If you intend to cook with one, season it with cooking oil to increase its durability. Shop a collection of terracotta pots on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, not all fireplaces need a heat shield. However, a heat shield can enhance the visual appearance of the space while also protecting the room. Carefully measure your fireplace to ensure the best fit. Shop a wide range of heat shields and fireplace inserts on 1stDibs.
  • A heated ruby is a ruby wherein 1600 - 1700 degrees centigrade of heat is applied to the stone to improve it's color, luster, and/or clarity. This is a common method for most rubies is not a bad at all. What makes unheated rubies valuable is their rarity. To find a beautiful ruby that does not need heat to improve it's beauty is very rare and highly unlikely.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    There is no single mug type or brand of mugs that holds heat best. While materials do play a role in determining how well mugs hold hot beverages at temperature, other factors like whether the metal is insulated, how well the mug is crafted and how tightly the lid fits also have an impact. Find an assortment of mugs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Jewelry can do many things. Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. Specific pieces of jewelry can enhance a person's appearance. For example, dangling earrings can help lengthen the look of the face, while choker necklaces can shorten the appearance of a long neck. The right jewelry can add texture and pops of color to outfits and draw attention to the wearer. In some cases, jewelry can have a symbolic meaning, the way an engagement ring is a reminder of a promise to marry, and a cross necklace is often a sign of religious faith. Shop a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    Quality and rarity define the difference between fine jewelry and high jewelry. Any jewelry that features fine materials, like precious metals and gemstones, may be considered fine jewelry. The term high jewelry usually refers to one-of-a-kind jewelry that is often crafted entirely or partially by hand. Shop a diverse assortment of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How you define high jewelry versus fine jewelry is largely a matter of personal opinion because the terms do not have formal definitions. Generally, fine jewelry is any piece of jewelry carefully crafted out of precious materials like metal and gemstones. High jewelry is a term used by collectors to describe jewelry of significant value. Exceptional craftsmanship, one-of-a-kind signs and highly sought pieces may fall under the category. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Vendome jewelry is a line of jewelry produced by the U.S.-based jewelry maker Coro. It was available from 1944 to 1979 and was especially popular during the 1940s and ’50s. Luxury retailers, such as Saks Fifth Avenue, sold the line. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Vendome jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Piaget jewelry is the term for jewelry produced by the Swiss company Piaget. Founded in 1874 by Georges-Édouard Piaget, Piaget began as a watchmaker. In 1959, the Salon Piaget was opened in Geneva, leading to the establishment of workshops for goldsmithing and gem setting and the introduction of the company's first jewelry creations. Luxury jewelry designed by the company's artisans has often cleverly referenced Piaget’s watchmaking origins. An example is the Possession collection, featuring swinging pendants and turning rings that give a nod to the movement of Piaget watches. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Piaget jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 8, 2024
    Cloisonné jewelry is jewelry that has been decorated with a distinctive enameling technique.

    Cloisonné (“cell” in French) is a technique in which thin wires of fine silver or gold are used to outline a design, which is then filled with enamel. The piece is subsequently placed in a kiln where the enamel is melted. Cloisonné is distinct because the individual wires remain visible, forming an outline of the motif.

    Over the years, enameling has become an art form. This is partly because of its durability: Although the colors may change during firing, once cooled, they’re set and never fade. They can also be made either opaque or translucent — just one example of the flexibility that is another reason artists are attracted to the medium. 

    When it comes to jewelry design and other disciplines, cloisonné enamel was popular during the Byzantine Empire (artisans living in France and Germany in the Middle Ages preferred champlevé). By the 7th century, Lombard craftsmen in northern Italy were using enamel to emulate Byzantine objects. In the 12th and 13th centuries, artisans in China imported the technique and made it so much their own that enameled objects have long been associated with Eastern aesthetics and motifs rather than Western ones.

    Find cloisonné jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    High jewelry is the term for luxury jewelry made with the highest quality of materials and with the highest level of craftsmanship. Often, the phrase implies that the jewelry maker produces bespoke or one-of-a-kind pieces. Generally, high jewelry features only the finest metals and rarest precious gemstones and is usually made by hand. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of high jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A product of the Art Deco era, convertible jewelry is that which can change from one form to another. A necklace can become earrings, or a ring can become a bracelet. Van Cleef and Arpel are one of the most famous designers of convertible jewelry, with some elaborate designs taking a decade to create. Shop a collection of convertible jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    The term lavalier jewelry originally referred to jewelry in the form of a pendant worn around the neck. The lavalier, which came into fashion in the 17th century, was usually a small, jeweled gold locket, though it could also be an enameled locket or pendant. Find a collection of antique and vintage lavalier on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    “Parure” is the French word for “set”, so the term jewelry parure means jewelry set. A set can include matching earrings, necklace, brooch and bracelet. Other accessories may also be included. Shop a collection of jewelry sets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021

Typical designs include scrolls, lace, and symmetrical Art-Deco motifs. This type of jewelry was especially popular in the first part of the 20th century.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
