How Much is a 12mm Pearl Stud?
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.
- How do I choose pearl studs?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023To choose pearl studs, first decide what shape you prefer. Options include the classic round, curvy oval, irregularly shaped baroque and low-profile button shapes. Another thing to consider is size. You can find everything from petite pearl studs that measure 6 to 7 millimeters in diameter to eye-catching statement sizes of 8 to 9 millimeters and above. You may also consider when you intend to wear your earrings. Small to medium sizes are great for everyday wear and work, while larger sizes can be an elegant pick for dressier occasions. Explore a variety of pearl stud earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Typically, you use strong glue to attach a pearl to a stud when making earrings. For a more secure fit, a maker may drill a small hole into the pearl and use a stud with a small peg that fits into the hole. If you're trying to repair a stud earring, consider enlisting the help of an experienced jeweler, as it's possible to damage the pearl if you apply too much glue or exert too much pressure on it. Explore a collection of pearl stud earrings on 1stDibs.
- Are 6.5 mm pearls too small?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Whether 6.5 mm pearls are too small is a matter of personal preference. Generally, 6.5-millimeter pearls are among the smallest. They can make for an understated pair of pearl studs that works well for daily wear or a dainty strand of pearls. If you're looking to make a bolder statement, you may want to consider larger pearls, as the size typically goes up to 12 to 13 millimeters. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of pearl jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Yes, you can wear diamond stud earrings with a pearl necklace. The elegant combination is fashionable for everything from a day at the office to Sunday brunch to a night on the town. To create a bold look, try pairing large diamond studs with a single strand of pearls or a dramatic multi-strand pearl necklace with smaller stud earrings. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of diamond stud earrings and pearl necklaces.
