How Much are Tiffany Bean 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 ExpertApril 22, 2024The Tiffany Bean symbolizes the origins of life (all seeds are typically seen as metaphors for growth, potential and a beginning). Designer Elsa Peretti created the now iconic Tiffany & Co. Bean motif in 1974. Recognized for her ability to distill nature down to its essence, Peretti created sleek organic forms that achieve purity through a fearless elimination of details. (Her other revered works include designs based on a scorpion, an apple, a starfish and a snake.) Today, skilled artisans working in Japan meticulously craft each Bean design by hand (a traditional 70-step process is involved). There are now Bean pendants, earrings, bracelets and more. Find a selection of Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. Bean jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024To tell if a Tiffany bean necklace is real, first look at the marking on the bean. A genuine piece will have the Tiffany & Co. name above Elsa Peretti's signature. Below that, on contemporary examples, you should see the word “Japan.” Compare the fonts used to those that appear on images of genuine bean pendants posted on trusted online resources. Double-check that the spacing is even and aligned. Also, look for the word sterling. This hallmark only appears on the pendants of vintage Tiffany & Co. necklaces. If the word sterling is on the pendant of a supposedly brand-new piece, you're likely looking at a replica. If you need assistance with the authentication process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can assist you. Explore a variety of Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. pieces for sale on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if Tiffany earrings are real, compare the stamp on them to images of similar earrings shared on trusted online resources. Most earrings produced by Tiffany & Co. will have the brand name, metal purity marks and the country of manufacture. If there are spelling errors or the marks are misaligned or not easy to read, your earrings may be replicas. Also, carefully examine the posts or wires and any backings. On authentic pieces, these components will be well-made and sturdy. Any imperfections may suggest that your jewelry is counterfeit. For further assistance, seek the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable jewelry dealer. Shop a variety of Tiffany & Co. earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023To clean Tiffany silver knot earrings, wipe them clean with a soft cloth. Rinse them under warm water and pat them dry with a second cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a spray or liquid cleaner that is safe for sterling silver. Tiffany & Co. sells a care kit that provides the essentials for jewelry care. Shop a collection of Tiffany & Co. earrings on 1stDibs.
