How Much are Type A Jadeite 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 14, 2023What types of earrings are most popular can vary based on style trends. However, some earrings remain in fashion season after season. Some timeless styles include diamond studs, huggie hoops and dangling statement earrings. Find a large selection of earrings from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023What type of earrings are most comfortable is a matter of personal opinion. Comfort is subjective, so what's comfortable to one person may not be to another. Generally, small, lightweight earrings tend to be the easiest to wear. They include studs, huggies and sleeper-style hoops. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023Many types of earrings that hang from the ear can be elegant. Dangle earrings featuring pearls or gemstones are one option. Large hoops made of gold, platinum or other precious metals are another. For a bold statement, consider chandelier earrings, which feature tiered dangling designs. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of dangle earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Generally, smaller earrings are the type of earrings that you can wear all day. Studs are especially popular for everyday wear. Not only will they not get caught on items as you move through your daily activities, but they can also coordinate with everything from jeans to workwear to evening dresses. Find a variety of earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023What type of earrings are best to buy depends on a few factors. First, consider the occasion. For everyday wear, huggies or stud earrings may be the best option, while larger hoops, dangle earrings and drops can work well for special occasions. Next, think about what types of materials you prefer. Jewelry makers produce earrings from a wide range of materials, including precious metals, gemstones, pearls and beads. Look for options that reflect your sense of style. Shape is another consideration. Generally, you should choose earrings that contrast with your face shape. For example, round earrings like hoops and round studs can complement a square face, while necklaces that show off geometric forms like squares and triangles often flatter round faces. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of earrings from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023What type of diamond stud earring is the best depends on your preferences, as there isn't a single cut that is better than the others. If you like the look of sparkling studs, consider brilliant cuts like the round, heart and arrow, princess, oval, pear or marquise. Stepped cuts like the emerald, cushion and Asscher let the color and clarity of diamonds show through and can also be appealing choices. Shop a variety of diamond stud earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023There are a few types of earrings that never seem to go out of fashion. Pearl earrings have remained in style for centuries and can be dressed up or down to suit different occasions. Diamond studs are another type of earring that you'll see consistently worn season after season. Another timeless look is the halo earring, which features a round- or princess-cut gemstone surrounded by a ring of accent diamonds. Huggies and small hoops are also classic looks that have remained popular for years. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of earrings.
