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 Diamond Ear Drops
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    No, 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 ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    Drop earrings are simply called drop earrings. Although the term is often misapplied, true drop earrings are characterized by a long lean line ending in a pear-shaped stone. Popular in the Art Deco era, the design works well for jewelry lovers who favor a minimalist look. Formal examples with diamonds pair perfectly with a cocktail dress or fancy pantsuit, while gem-set and gold ones make great daytime accessories. Find vintage drop earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Geo drop earrings are drop earrings that feature a mix of geometric shapes. For example, the designs may include metal wire bent to resemble a square stacked on top of a triangle, or be set with gemstones cut into different shapes like round and pear. Because they are drop earrings, the jewelry hangs below the ear but remains stationary as you move. Explore a wide range of drop earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    A drop earring is usually just called a drop earring. Drop is the term for an earring that hangs below the ear but doesn't swing when you move. A hanging earring that swings is a dangle earring. Some people may add a modifier to the term drop earring, such as a diamond drop or a pearl drop, depending on the materials it features. Explore an assortment of drop earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    The 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Long drop earrings are sometimes called shoulder dusters. To earn the name, earrings must be long enough to brush against the collarbone or shoulder. Dangle earrings may also be referred to as shoulder dusters. The difference between the two is that dangle shoulder dusters swing as you move, while drop shoulder dusters remain stationary due to their designs. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of drop earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Earrings that drop in the back are called front-back earrings. While many feature a drop element in the back, some front-back earrings have different designs. For example, they may feature a stud in the front with a hoop or a dangling element that goes behind the ear. Shop a wide variety of earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    There is no single type of diamond earring that shines the most. How much sparkle a diamond earring has depends on the gemstone's cut. Generally, brilliant cuts like the round, pear, marquise, oval, heart, radiant and princess show off the most sparkle and shine. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of diamond earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    What diamond earrings symbolize is largely a matter of personal interpretation. Some people associate diamonds with true love, making earrings set with the gemstones a romantic gift. Diamonds are also the birthstone for April and may be worn to represent a person’s birthday. On 1stDibs, find a collection of diamond earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    The best diamond for earrings is one that appeals to you and suits your budget. 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 ExpertJune 15, 2023
    There is no single best diamond for earrings. Brilliant cuts can provide sparkle that draws the eye and adds glamor to materials, while step-cut styles emphasize the color and clarity of high-quality gemstones. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of diamond earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    Yes, you can wear pearl earrings with diamond earrings if you wish. One way to tie the look together is to choose pearl and diamond earrings with matching settings. For example, you can pair platinum diamond and pearl earrings or yellow gold diamond and pearl earrings. Shop a large assortment of earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The cost of a diamond earring varies based on a number of factors. The price of diamond earrings largely depends on its caratage. Other factors that influence the price include, cut, clarity, condition, and craftsmanship. On 1stDibs.com, you can purchase a diamond earring starting at $83.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Generally, a good rating for diamond earrings is SI2 and above for clarity and H or above for color. Diamond earrings with these ratings will appear eye-clean, meaning any imperfections and inclusions will be difficult to spot with the naked eye. The diamond's color is also likely to appear clear in its setting. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of diamond earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To tell if diamond earrings are real, you can conduct some tests yourself. Try breathing on the gemstones to produce a fog and watch how quickly it disappears. Fake gemstones will hold onto the condensation for longer than authentic diamonds. You can also try dropping the earrings into water. Generally, authentic diamonds will sink due to their weight, but glass imitations are lighter and will float. If you remain uncertain as to whether your diamond jewelry is real, a certified appraiser can assist you. Shop a collection of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Yes, you can order diamond earrings online. Some jewelry makers sell diamond earrings directly to customers through their official websites. Others partner with third-party online stores that sell rings from a variety of makers. You can also shop on trusted online platforms to find diamond earrings. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of antique, vintage and contemporary diamond earrings from some of the world's top dealers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Yes, diamond earrings can be a good gift. Since there are many different types available, you can find diamond-set earrings to suit nearly every taste. To select a gift they'll love, think about the types of jewelry they usually wear. Diamond studs or small hoops featuring diamonds can be a good option for everyday wear, while dramatic diamond dangles can be an attractive accessory for special occasions. Shop a wide variety of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.

    One 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.
