Questions About Big Gems Earrings
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Big 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 ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Whether 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    Whether 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, 2023
    A 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 27, 2023
    Yes, 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.
