Questions About The Real Real
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To know if your Capodimonte is real, look for its maker's mark. Beginning in the mid-18th century, porcelain made by the manufacturer founded by King Charles VII of Naples was stamped with a fleur-de-lis, usually in underglaze blue. Pieces produced under Ferdinand IV were stamped with a Neapolitan N topped by a crown. When secondary manufacturers began production, they retained this mark in multiple variations. By comparing the markings on your piece to images of those found on similar pieces shared on trusted online resources, you can begin to determine whether your piece is authentic. However, many convincing replicas exist, so you may wish to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer examine your piece and provide you with a professional opinion. Explore a diverse assortment of Capodimonte porcelain on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    The real Piranesi was Giovanni Battista Piranesi. He was born in Venice in 1720 and died in Rome in 1778. He was the son of a stone mason and was trained as an architect. After a slow start, he eventually achieved great success as an architect, archaeologist, artist, designer, collector and antiquities dealer. His mission was to glorify the architecture of ancient Rome through his engravings and etchings. His highly dramatized prints often depict imaginary interiors and frequently include figures in mysterious activities that are dwarfed by the magnitude of their monumental surroundings. Piranesi's style greatly influenced the neoclassical art movement of the late 18th century. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Giovanni Battista Piranesi art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    Yes, Invicta is a real company. Raphael Picard founded the watchmaking company in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in 1837. In the 1980s, Invicta filed for bankruptcy and was sold off and shuttered. In 1991, a group of American investors purchased and revived the company, only to sell it to the Swiss company Glycine in April 2016. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    The art that looks real can be called different names depending on its style. A general term for this type of art is realistic. However, certain art movements have focused on producing realistic art over the years. Art produced during the 19th century that often shows everyday people performing their daily activities is Realist art. During the 20th century, other realistic art movements emerged, including Photorealism and Hyperrealism. Shop a large collection of fine art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To know if your Picasso is real, search trusted online resources for images of the artist's signature from authentic pieces produced around the same time that you believe your painting, drawing, sculpture, print or other piece was produced. Picasso's signature changed over time, and counterfeiters often fail to match the false signature on their reproductions to the correct signature style for a particular piece's time frame. Because it can be challenging to authenticate art without training and experience, consider having a certified appraiser or experienced dealer assist you. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Pablo Picasso art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To tell if Fostoria is real, familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the maker's etchings and patterns using trusted online resources. Most Fostoria glass is unmarked, so you can't rely on stamps or labels during the authentication process. However, different types of Fostoria glassware do have features that counterfeiters often fail to duplicate correctly. For example, genuine Americana by Fostoria pieces usually display three mold lines and a turned foot, while replicas usually have no mold lines and a straight foot. If you'd like help authenticating your piece, use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a range of Fostoria glassware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    Many different markings can appear on real gold. Makers sometimes stamp pieces with karats, using markings like 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K and 24K. Alternatively, they may use a three-digit number that corresponds to the percentage of pure gold in the piece. Examples of these markings include “375” for 9-karat gold, “585” for 14-karat gold, “750” for 18-karat gold, “916” for 22-karat gold and “999” for 24-karat gold. Shop a wide range of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    Yes, Tous jewelry is real. The luxury jewelry brand is known for producing colorful pieces using genuine gemstones, such as rhodolite, iolite, amethyst, quartz, chalcedony, diamonds and topaz. For metals, Tous often uses sterling silver and 18-karat gold. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of Tous jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not Figaro chains are real precious metal varies. Some are genuine gold, silver, platinum or other precious metals, while others simply feature a colored finish that makes the jewelry resemble these materials. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of expertly vetted precious metal chains.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, diamond pens are real. Most famously, the Lamodernista diamond pen was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2001 and is an impressive 20-carat diamond pen featuring 5,072 diamonds and 96 rubies. Shop a selection of diamond pens on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    Yes, Effy emeralds are generally real. However, not all pieces feature natural emeralds. The luxury jewelry maker uses a mix of naturally derived and lab-created gemstones in its jewelry. Experts consider lab-created emeralds to be real gemstones, but they are inexpensive compared to natural stones. Because lab-grown diamonds don’t meet our luxury jewelry standards, 1stDibs does not allow listings that are inclusive of lab-grown diamonds on the platform (this policy is also shared by major auction houses). However, fashion jewelry that features lab-grown or cultured gemstones other than diamonds can be found on the site. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Effy jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    Yes, Helzberg diamonds are real. However, not all the jewelry that the American maker produces features natural diamonds. Specifically, the Light Heart collection has lab-grown diamonds, which are genuine gemstones but are human-made rather than being formed through natural processes. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Helzberg jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, iridescent ammonite fossils are real. Their eye-catching, multicolored glow is formed from fossilized ammonite shells and is highly coveted by collectors and home decor enthusiasts. Ammonites can be any color, but iridescent ammonites are considered rarer than any solid hue. Browse a selection of iridescent ammonite fossil specimens on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, cultured pearls are real pearls. However, they're not naturally occurring pearls. Instead, they come from oysters raised on farms and are the product of human intervention that encourages the development of pearls. Most pearls available on the market are cultured rather than natural. Shop a wide range of pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    Yes, real diamonds do fog up. However, the condensation will usually disappear quickly due to the properties of the gemstones. As a result, some people recommend breathing on jewelry to determine if it contains genuine diamonds or imitation stones. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of diamond jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, baguette diamonds are real. Baguette diamonds are diamonds cut in a rectangular shape with 14 facets. The narrow, elongated shape of these diamonds make them the perfect accent stone.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Yes, Cartier diamonds are real. The French luxury jewelry maker follows stringent standards when selecting the diamonds that go into its pieces. For example, the central brilliant cut diamonds in Cartier rings that are over 0.3 carats in weight must be classified as Very Good or Excellent to be used by the brand, and Cartier rarely chooses diamonds with clarity ratings below VS2 or color ratings below H. Shop a selection of Cartier diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    What symbols appear on real gold vary. Sometimes, you will see stamps that read "AU." This abbreviation for gold may appear before or after a hallmark that denotes the type of gold alloy, such as "18k" or "14K." Alternatively, you may see a number placed inside a hexagon. The numbers will most likely be 585 for 14-karat gold, 750 for 18-karat gold or 916 for 22-karat gold. If you need help determining whether a particular piece of jewelry is real gold, consult an experienced jeweler or certified appraiser. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of gold jewelry.

    The best way to tell if Missoni is real depends on what type of piece you have.
