How Much are Colored Diamond Earings?
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.

When set in earrings, many diamond cuts look attractive, such as the brilliant round, the oval, the pear, the princess, the emerald and the cushion. When considering color, keep the setting in mind. With yellow or rose gold, diamonds rated I through K or better can be ideal, depending on the size, while platinum and rose gold will nicely offset diamonds rated H through J or better. Because you rarely view diamond earrings up close, inclusions are difficult to spot. As a result, most experts recommend choosing SI1 clarity or higher. Explore a large selection of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023The four Cs for diamond earrings are cut, color, clarity and carats.

Clarity is whether a diamond has any inclusions or imperfections, and carats describe the weight or size of the diamonds. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of diamond earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023One way to know if diamond earrings are real is to try the fog test. To do so, breathe on the earrings, and then look to see how long the fog created by your breath lasts. On real diamonds, the fog clears quickly. While this test can provide fairly accurate results, experts generally agree that the best way to authenticate diamond jewelry is to enlist the services of an experienced jeweler, jewelry dealer or appraiser. They can examine your jewelry thoroughly to give you a definitive answer as to whether or not it's real. Shop a diverse assortment of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Yes, you can try to tell when diamond earrings are fake through various tests.

Shop a variety of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.
