Onyx Surround Earring For Sale on 1stDibs

You are likely to find exactly the onyx surround earring you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. Frequently made of gold, 18k gold and 14k gold, this item was constructed with great care. You can easily find a 47 antique edition and 38 modern creations to choose from as well. If you’re looking for an onyx surround earring from a specific time period, our collection is diverse and broad-ranging, and you’ll find at least one that dates back to the 19th Century while another version may have been produced as recently as the 21st Century. Creating an onyx surround earring has been a part of the legacy of many jewelers, but those produced by Goshwara, Margherita Burgener and Gems Paradise are consistently popular. An onyx surround earring of any era or style can lend versatility to your look, but a version featuring onyx, from our inventory of 57, is particularly popular. A round cut version of this piece has appeal, but there are also brilliant cut and mixed cut versions for sale. When shopping for an onyx surround earring, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for unisex or men today than there are for women.

How Much is a Onyx Surround Earring?

Prices for an onyx surround earring can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $550 and can go as high as $250,000, while this accessory, on average, fetches $3,450.

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.
