Finding the Right earrings for You

In the United States, ear piercing didn’t really become popular until the 1950s and ‘60s, but our desire for a dazzling pair of vintage earrings has deeper roots than that. In fact, wearing earrings actually goes back thousands of years, and you can find many tangible connections between now and then in how we continue to talk about these treasured accessories.

Women wore ornamental earrings — studs and hoops at the very least — in Ancient Egypt, which is home to mines that are among the earliest sources of emeralds in the world. Emerald earrings are highly prized today, and their quality lies in their rich, saturated color. The highest-quality emeralds are green or bluish-green. Earrings worn by the affluent in early Roman civilizations were set with precious stones such as diamonds and pearls, and a clean-looking pop of pearl on the front of the lobe is as timeless as ever. Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C.

Today, ear piercing is very popular all over the world, and, as a result, it is difficult to overstate how much everyone pines for a good pair of earrings — modernist drop earrings, glamorous Victorian hoops, geometrically complex chandelier earrings, you name it. Sure, jewelry trends and the fashion darlings of social media come and go, but earrings have a staying power that seems impenetrable: The still-strong love affair between British royals and Cartier earrings is more than a century old, glossy 1970s hoops from legacy houses such as Bulgari and Van Cleef & Arpels remain the statement makers they’ve always been and although people have been stacking earrings for many moons, the allure of an expertly mismatched stack of charms and studs still feels fresh and new.

While there is no shortage of modern earring designs to choose from, the classics, like coral earrings, Art Deco–style earrings and diamond drop earrings are still heavy hitters. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique, new and vintage earrings today.

Questions About Old Vintage Earrings
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Whether hoop earrings are old-fashioned is a matter of personal opinion. Hoop earrings have been around since 2500 B.C., when African artisans first began producing them out of bronze, silver and gold. The ancient Egyptians would later wear them as well. During the 1920s, hoop earrings became a trend in the United States when the opening of King Tutankhamen's tomb sparked renewed interest in Egyptian jewelry. Since then, hoops have largely remained in style, and today they have become staples of hip-hop, Black and Latina cultures. Shop a large selection of hoop earrings.

    How old something needs to be in order to be considered vintage is at least 20 years. For jewelry, furniture and decorative objects, vintage items are less than 100 years old; those produced more than a century ago are antique. Typically, clothing and accessories made two decades ago or more are classified as vintage, as antique is rarely applied to fashion. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of vintage apparel, jewelry, furniture and other items.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    To be vintage, a chair typically needs to be at least 20 years old, while a chair older than 100 years is an antique. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, vintage and modern dining chairs from some of the world's top sellers.

    Vintage is a somewhat interpretable term for older clocks. If a clock is over 100 years old, it can officially be considered antique, but vintage is a bit more open of a term. Many collectors consider around 50 years old to be vintage, but a more open concept is that if the clock could not be reproduced today, it could be considered vintage. On 1stDibs, find an array of beautiful vintage and antique clocks.

    A piece of furniture must be at least 20 years old to be considered vintage.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Vintage clothes are usually 20 years old or older. Unlike jewelry, clothing is usually not referred to as antique. As a result, people usually use the term vintage to describe all garments produced at least two decades ago. In some cases, you may see clothing that is 100 years old or more referred to as historical or period clothes. Find a wide range of vintage apparel on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Vintage costume jewelry refers to costume jewelry that is 20 to 80 years old. Jewelry, costume or otherwise, that is 100 years old is referred to as antique. The big design fair in Paris in 1900 inspired jewelers to work with inexpensive materials, and Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel and others helped popularize costume jewelry during the 1920s. The roots of costume jewelry, however, took shape at least as far back as the 18th century, when paste jewelry that featured hand-cut glass instead of gemstones first emerged. Shop a variety of vintage costume jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    To tell how old a vintage chair is, first try and locate the manufacturer's label, tag or mark. Typically, identifying markings and tags appear under cushions or on the undersides of chairs. You may find that the date of manufacturing appears on the label or tag. If not, check trusted online resources to find out when the manufacturer was in business to make an estimate of the age. When in doubt, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or antiques dealer to help you date a particular chair. Find an assortment of antique, vintage and modern chairs on 1stDibs.

    To wear vintage clip-on earrings properly, first position them so that the decorative part is in front of your ear and the backing is behind it. Clip-ons feature a variety of backings, but regardless of type, the clips should generally be positioned so that the open part faces the ceiling and the hinge or closed part is near the earlobe. Once you have the earrings in place, secure the clasp. This may involve squeezing a clip or turning a screw or fastener. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage clip-on earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Screw back earrings were most popular during the first half of the 20th century, before clip earrings increased in popularity. However, screw back earrings have never gone out of style. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique screw back earrings from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    How you use vintage clip-on earrings depends on what type of backing they have. Some simply feature a hinged clip that you open, slip over your ear and then press gently to close. Others may require you to turn a screw or shift a tension bar. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of vintage clip-on earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    Most vintage earrings are clip-ons largely due to how beliefs about piercings have changed over the years. It was only during the 1980s and ’90s that many women began piercing their ears. Prior to that, many women didn't have piercings and could only wear clip-ons, so makers produced earrings to suit their customer base. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of vintage earrings.

    Yes, a 20-year-old Rolex would be considered vintage by most people. Generally, timepieces that are at least 20 years old are thought of as vintage.
