How Much are Big Dangle Earrings?
Finding the Right dangle-earrings for You
Earrings have a rich, diverse history, and while there are many types of this accessory to choose from, the dangle style is one of the most enduring designs. Today antique and vintage dangle earrings are timeless adornments that can make any outfit instantly more glamorous.
One of the oldest known pairs of dangle earrings was made of jade between 7,500 and 8,200 years ago in Inner Mongolia. Hoop earrings — of which there have been countless variations — are as old as Ancient Mesopotamia, and Ancient Egyptians wore dangle earrings that had sacred symbolism as part of their jewelry practices. In ancient Rome, dangle earrings with pearls and other precious materials were popular.
Dangle earrings vary in length, but they are all designed to cascade off the ears. Some dangle earrings barely fall past the bottom of the earlobe while others fall low enough to graze the shoulders or even fall past them. During the Renaissance period, women wore up-do hairstyles so they could show off their dangle earrings. Even noblemen joined the trend, donning a sole dangle earring adorned with a pearl.
Georgian women preferred heavy girandole earrings that featured candelabra-like arrangements of precious metal and stones. Dangle earrings in the 19th century were simpler, often featuring a single suspended gemstone in a drop-earring style. Going into the 20th century, screw-back earrings and clip-ons became popular, leading to more minimal stud designs. However, dangle earrings have always come back into fashion.
Whether they are made with diamonds, beads or feathers, dangle earrings are statement pieces reflecting the shifting styles over the years. Find the perfect antique and vintage dangle earrings for any occasion on 1stDibs.
- What is a dangle earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A dangle earring is an earring that hangs below the earlobe. The length, style or material of an dangle earring can vary.
- What are big earrings called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Big earrings are typically called statement earrings. The name comes from the fact that these earrings make a bold fashion statement. You can find many styles of statement earrings, including clusters, dangles and drops. Materials also vary and may include precious metals, gemstones, pearls, beads and more. Shop a variety of earrings from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023What dangle earrings symbolize is a matter of interpretation. Some people believe that dangle earrings are symbols of femininity due to the way they swing and sway, but others don't assign any special meaning to them. Earrings in specific shapes have meaning as well. For example, cross earrings may represent a person's religious faith, while four-leaf clovers may be associated with good luck. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of dangle earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Dangling earrings are typically just called dangle earrings. Some people may also refer to their backings when saying the names of dangle earrings.

- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Yes, dangling earrings can be professional. Some people feel that earrings in the workplace should hang no more than 0.5 to 0.75 inches below the ear to prevent distractions, so longer earrings may not be suitable for pairing with workwear. Consider the standards for attire at your place of business when selecting your earrings, as dress codes vary from organization to organization. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of dangle earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023No, drop and dangle earrings are not the same. Although both types of earrings hang below the ear, their designs are different. Dangle earrings swing when you move, while drop earrings remain stationary. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of dangle and drop earrings from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Dangling earrings are attractive for a variety of reasons. Also called dangle earrings, they draw the eye downward and can help to visually lengthen the face and neck.

- Are dangling earrings good?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Yes, dangling earrings can be good options.

- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023The difference between a drop earring and a dangle earring is how it hangs. A drop earring extends down below the earlobe but is stationary, while a pair of dangle earrings’ design allows it to swing. On 1stDibs, find a selection of earrings.
- Is a 1-carat earring too big?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Whether a 1-carat earring is too big depends on your personal preferences. An individual earring with a 1-carat stone will usually cover a good portion of the earlobe without completely hiding it. As you shop for studs, keep in mind that there is a difference between total carat weight and carat weight. The carat weight refers to the weight of each earring, while the total carat weight is the combined weight of both earrings in a pair. A 1-carat earring set would actually typically include two 0.5-carat earrings, which are generally small enough to keep most of the earlobe visible. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of gemstone earrings.
- Is 1-carat too big for earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023Whether 1-carat is too big for earrings is largely a matter of personal opinion and preference. Some people may prefer to wear larger 1-carat earrings for formal evening events and other special occasions. However, others will wear 1-carat earrings to help punctuate any outfit. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of gemstone earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023A big size for hoop earrings is 40 millimeters and up. At 40 millimeters, hoops are roughly the size of a ping pong ball, while 50-millimeter hoops resemble a golf ball. The largest hoops are generally 60 to 70 millimeters� the sizes of billiard balls and baseballs, respectively. On 1stDibs, find a variety of hoop earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Whether dangle earrings are appropriate for work depends on the setting, which can include standards for safety as well as dress codes. Work around machinery or moving parts can be hazardous with dangle earrings or other loose accessories. In some workplaces, stud earrings may be the norm, while in others, understated dangle earrings like those set with small pearls or diamonds may be appropriate. There are also workplaces where large statement earrings that dangle may be acceptable attire. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of dangle earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Dangle stud earrings are generally just called dangle earrings. However, dangle stud is actually a misnomer, as the term "stud" refers to an earring that doesn't dangle or hang below the ear. When people say "dangle stud," they usually mean a dangle earring that hangs from a post -- a metal rod that fits through the ear and is fastened by a push-on backing. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of stud and dangle earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023While motivations differ, people generally wear dangling earrings because they like how they look. Since they hang below the ear and swing when you move, dangle earrings catch attention and draw the eye. Long earrings can also visually lengthen the face, and the longest ones can accentuate the collarbones and shoulders. Explore a large collection of dangle earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Non-dangling earrings are usually called studs. However, some people refer to them as post earrings. Because they're free of hanging elements, stud earrings are a great option for everyday wear. Find a wide range of antique, vintage and contemporary stud earrings from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- Can guys wear dangling earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Yes, guys can wear dangling earrings. Men can feel free to wear whatever type of earrings appeal to them. Dangle earrings with charms depicting crosses, feathers and infinity symbols are common picks for men, as are dangle earrings with gemstones like diamonds, rubies or emeralds. Shop a variety of earrings for men on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023Yes, it can be okay to wear big hoop earrings. Regularly called oversized hoops, these earrings are usually more than 40 millimeters in diameter. The large size can be a good option for pairing with dresses for evenings out. However, keep in mind that big hoop earrings have long been a fashion staple for Black and Latino cultures, and the styling of your attire should be sensitive to this context. For women in Black and Latino communities, hoop earrings have long been associated with strength. Their symbolism as indicators of identity stretches back thousands of years, including to ancient Nubia. Find a wide range of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.
