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 Long Antique Earrings
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Long earrings are called dangle earrings. They come in a variety of styles, from simple metal chains to elaborate pieces set with gemstones. Long earrings that hang down to the shoulder or collarbone are often referred to as shoulder dusters. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of dangle earrings from some of the world's top dealers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Very long earrings are sometimes called shoulder dusters. To qualify for the term, dangle earrings must usually hang to the shoulders or collarbone. Shoulder dusters come in many styles, from dramatic tassels to simple chains to statement-making chandeliers set with dazzling gemstones. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of dangle earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, it is generally okay to wear long earrings. In fact, long dangle earrings can make a bold statement when combined with semi-formal or formal attire for a special occasion or with a little black dress for date night. Long earrings may not be as appropriate for the office, depending on the dress code of your workplace. You should also avoid wearing long earrings when engaging in activities where they could get caught on something, such as while you're exercising or playing a sport. Explore a wide variety of dangle 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 ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    Yes, some antique earrings are worth something. Fine jewelry often has inherent value due to the precious metals and gemstones that it contains. What's more, collectors may seek both fine and costume antique earrings due to their style, type, age, maker and other factors. Because the condition also impacts the potential value of antique jewelry, experts recommend having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer evaluate your earrings if you're curious about how much they may be worth. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of antique earrings.
