Questions About Very Large Earrings
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023The 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, 2023Clip-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, 2023No, 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, 2023Yes, 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 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023Many 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, 2023Yes, 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.
- How do I clean my earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024To clean your earrings, follow the care instructions provided by the maker. Doing so will help to ensure that you remove debris and discoloration safely. If you no longer have the directions, check the brand's website for more information or contact its customer service department for advice. Generally, most earrings can be cleaned with mild dish soap, warm water and a soft-bristled toothbrush or a cotton swab. Shop a wide variety of earrings on 1stDibs.
- What is a princess earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024A princess earring is an earring set with a gemstone featuring a princess cut. Square in shape with rounded corners, the princess cut shows off a symmetrical design that many people find appealing. As a brilliant cut, the princess also brings out the sparkle of gemstones. Shop a selection of princess-cut earrings on 1stDibs.
- What are swing earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Swing 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.
- What is a cluster earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023A 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.
- What is an inlay earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023An 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. You can find inlay earrings featuring a variety of semiprecious stones and gemstones, such as lapis lazuli, mother of pearl, opal and turquoise. They may also be decorated with inlays of shells, beads, glass and other materials. Shop a range of inlay earrings on 1stDibs.

Roman Malakov DiamondsMarch 22, 2021An ear clip is a type of mechanism of attaching earrings to your ear. These are typically omega-backs but without posts.

The length, style or material of an dangle earring can vary.
- Where are pearl earrings from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023No one knows for sure where pearl earrings originated, but scholars have determined that they date back to ancient times. According to surviving records, the ancient Chinese often presented members of royal families with pearls as gifts. During the 1st century B.C., Julius Caesar passed a law stating that only members of the ruling class could wear pearl jewelry. Shop a large collection of pearl earrings on 1stDibs.
- What are latch earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023Latch earrings are earrings that have a particular kind of back. Specifically, they feature a post that slides through a piercing and then fits into a metal fastener that has a loop on one end and a hinge on the other. Sometimes people refer to them as latchbacks. Find a wide range of earrings on 1stDibs.
- What are nap earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Nap earrings are earrings that feature a certain type of backing. Specifically, they have round, disc-shaped backings mounted on threaded posts. To put them on, you screw the backing into the post of the earring. Once in place, nap earrings are extremely secure, as they must be unscrewed prior to removal and are unlikely to come loose. Explore a wide variety of earrings on 1stDibs.
- What is a CZ earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023A CZ earring is an earring set with cubic zirconia, which some people refer to as CZ.

- What is a statement earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A statement earring is bold, eye-catching and typically colorful. Statement earrings add character to any outfit.

- What is a sleep earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023A sleep earring is a small hoop earring. The term comes from the fact that their small size leads some people to sleep while wearing the earrings. However, you may still want to remove your sleep earrings before bed to prevent them from getting caught on anything during the night. Some people refer to sleep earrings as sleeper or sleeper-style earrings. Explore a large collection of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.
