Pear Shape Earrings For Sale on 1stDibs
How Much are Pear Shape Earrings?
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.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A pear-shaped diamond is unique and it often symbolizes independence, strong will, and empowerment. A pear-shaped diamond can also represent wedding tears or tears of joy. It makes for a great choice of stone for an engagement ring.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Yes, pear-shaped engagement rings can be nice. The elongated shape makes gemstones appear larger, and the 58 facets that form the pear cut provide a lot of sparkle. Plus, the shape is highly versatile and can complement everything from casual attire to office wear to dressy ensembles. There are no rules for engagement ring shape, so feel free to choose the one that appeals most to you. Find a wide range of pear-shaped engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021While a pear-shaped ring can be worn either way, most commonly it is worn with the tip of the diamond facing upwards to look like a falling teardrop when the hand is raised. This also helps create the impression of longer fingers.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Although trends in bridal jewelry change over time, pear-shaped diamond engagement rings tend to remain popular. Jewelry makers have produced pear-shaped diamonds since the 15th century, when a Flemish diamond cutter named Lodewyk van Bercken first mastered the technique. Many people love the sparkle of the cut and find its mix of curves and points to be visually appealing. Find a diverse assortment of pear-shaped diamond engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023The most popular diamond earring shape can vary from season to season based on trends. However, some shapes have timeless appeal and always remain in style. Examples include stud earrings in brilliant round, oval and princess cuts. Explore a large selection of diamond earrings from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023How you wear a wedding band with a pear-shaped engagement ring is up to you. However, it's most common to put the wedding band on first and then wear the engagement ring on top. Not only does this follow the tradition of wearing your wedding ring closest to your heart, but it also serves as a nice balance to the shape of the engagement ring, which is wider and fuller at the bottom. Curved and contoured wedding bands are especially good companions for pear-shaped engagement rings because they complement the curves of the gemstone. Find a large collection of wedding bands on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023The best shape for diamond stud earrings is the one that appeals the most to you. If you want to maximize sparkle, consider earrings with brilliant cuts like the round brilliant, the princess cut, the pear cut or the oval cut. To show off the color and clarity of a diamond, opt for stepped cuts like the emerald, the baguette or the Asscher. Find a large selection of diamond stud earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023The most popular shapes for diamond stud earrings include round diamonds and princess cut diamonds. But stud earrings, no matter the shape, generally add a bit of glam to any ensemble. Stud earrings are simple and usually small in size, making them lightweight and easy to wear. Unlike other earrings, stud earrings have a floating appearance. They are often made with a single gemstone, such as a sapphire or emerald, and a straight post that goes through the ear, typically with a rubber or metal backing to hold it in place. Find stud earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023There is no single best face shape for hoop earrings. The key is to choose hoops to complement the overall shape of your face. Square and triangular hoops can balance a round face, while oversized hoops that hang below the jaw can perfectly frame a square one. If you have an oval or diamond face, look for small, thick hoops. Thick hoops of any size work well with heart-shaped faces. Find a wide variety of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.
