Finding the Right drop-earrings for You

Earrings are a timeless accessory. Women have been wearing studs and hoops in civilizations as far back as Ancient Egypt. Diamond drop earrings, pearl versions and other antique drop earrings have a long history as well.

While hoops will always be beautiful, drop earrings hold their own as dazzling accessories, and jewelry designers have explored different variations on this style of earring over time.

Although the term is often misapplied, true drop earrings are characterized by a long lean line ending in a pear-shaped stone that drops just below the earlobe. These accessories were popular in the Art Deco era, which encompassed the 1920s and ’30s and ushered in a very distinct look in jewelry design.

There were many influences on Art Deco jewelry; among them, the excavation of the tomb of King Tut in 1922. “Egyptomania” left an indelible mark on all of the major jewelry houses, from Cartier to Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron and Georges Fouquet. Today, the popularity of long Art Deco drop earrings can be attributed to the influence of Coco Chanel. These earrings are frequently characterized by simple shapes, clean lines and an integration of colorful stones such as blue sapphires, emeralds and rubies to accent the pieces’ diamonds. Indeed, during the 20th century, as technology for diamond cutting improved, diamond drop earrings and other diamond jewelry came into wide popularity. Formal examples of diamond drop earrings pair perfectly with a cocktail dress or fancy pantsuit, while gem-set and gold drop earrings make great daytime accessories.

While there are at least several types of earrings you could be wearing right now, drop earrings work well for anyone who favors a minimalist look. Whatever the occasion, find a wide range of antique, diamond and pearl drop earrings on 1stDibs.

Questions About Ear Drop Earring
  • 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
    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 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
    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 14, 2023
    The name of earrings that go through the ear is pierced earrings. They differ from clip-on earrings, which attach to the earlobe rather than going through a piercing. Pierced earrings come in a wide range of styles, including studs mounted on posts, dangles and drops that hang from wires and hoops that feature a variety of closures. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of pierced earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Clip-on earrings may hurt your ears due to the tension that the backings apply on the lobes. If your earrings have adjustable backs, try fastening them less tightly to reduce discomfort. You can also purchase cushions that stick onto the backings to help ease pressure. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of clip-on earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    No, clip-on earrings don't pierce your ears. Instead of slipping through a piercing, a clip-on earring attaches to the surface of your earlobe with a fastener. Depending on the design of the earrings, the fastener may be a hinged clip, a screw, a tension bar or even a magnet. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of clip-on 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 ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    Many types of earrings that hang from the ear can be elegant. Dangle earrings featuring pearls or gemstones are one option. Large hoops made of gold, platinum or other precious metals are another. For a bold statement, consider chandelier earrings, which feature tiered dangling designs. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of dangle earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Yes, you can use clip-on earrings on pierced ears. The different kinds of clasps featured on clip-ons will still secure them to your earlobes if you have a piercing. However, wearing clip-ons exclusively could cause your piercings to gradually close up over time. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of clip-on earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Swing earrings are earrings that swing back and forth as you move. Most people refer to them as dangle earrings. They differ from drop earrings, which remain stationary despite your movements. Find a wide variety of dangle earrings from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    A cluster earring is an earring that usually has a round shape and a particular design. Specifically, the earrings feature small gemstones or pearls that completely cover their surfaces. Cluster earrings can include studs that don't extend below the earlobe and drops that hang below the ear but remain stationary when you move. You can also find some cluster styles that include a dangling element, such as a single pearl or solitaire gemstone. Find a variety of cluster earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    An inlay earring is an earring that shows off a certain decorating technique. In jewelry making, inlay is the process of carving small recesses in the surface of a metal, like platinum, gold or silver, and then filling them with precisely cut accent materials.

They may also be decorated with inlays of shells, beads, glass and other materials. Shop a range of inlay earrings on 1stDibs.
