What is high jewelry vs. fine jewelry?
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.
