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 Antique Sleepers Earrings
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Also known as “huggies,” sleeper earrings are small hoops that don't have sharp posts with a separate backing. They're called “sleeper” earrings because you can sleep in them comfortably without a post jabbing into the back of your ear.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Sleeper-style earrings are small hoop earrings. Usually, they feature a hinged closure or a screw-down closure for security. Due to their size and secure designs, sleeper-style hoops are popular picks for everyday wear. They are highly versatile and can put just the right finishing touch on everything from jeans to little black dresses. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of hoop earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Sleeper earrings are called by their name due to the fact that some people sleep in them. Generally, sleeper earrings range from 8 to 20 millimeters in diameter. Because they are small in size, they are less likely to get caught on pajamas, hair, pillows and bedding. However, they don't completely eliminate the risk. As a result, most experts recommend removing all earrings, including sleepers, prior to bed. Find a wide range of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.
