How Much are Steel Cut 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 ExpertNovember 8, 2023Yes, stainless steel can be good for earrings. Although stainless steel isn't a precious metal, it has a cool color that many people like, and it can take on a different character depending on whether it has a brushed matte or shiny polished appearance. Stainless steel is also unlikely to tarnish or corrode and offers scratch resistance, making it a durable choice of materials. Explore a large selection of earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, surgical steel can be a good option for earrings. The metal has a sleek look similar to sterling silver, but it is much less likely to tarnish or corrode. In addition, people with sensitive ears may prefer surgical steel because it may reduce the risk of reactions. Find a diverse assortment of earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023In the terminology of earrings, a princess cut refers to a specific cut or shape of diamond. Due to the arrangement of its facets, a princess cut resembles a square when viewed from above and a pyramid when you look at it from the side. A brilliant cut, the princess beautifully showcases the sparkle of a diamond, and the shape reduces the amount of waste created when shaping a diamond, making the cut cost-effective. Shop a wide range of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The best cut of diamond for stud earrings is a matter of personal opinion. Brilliant cut diamonds can produce ample sparkle and often have a timeless appearance, while step cuts highlight color and clarity. Mixed cuts can make for unique looks to set you apart from the crowd. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of diamond earrings from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Yes, the cut matters for diamond stud earrings because it guides their appearance and shape. The round brilliant cut is a classic option with its tremendous sparkle and symmetrical shape. Other brilliant cuts to consider include the oval, marquise, radiant and princess cuts. Stepped cuts like the emerald and cushion show off diamonds' color and clarity more than their sparkle. Explore a large selection of diamond stud earrings on 1stDibs.
