Finding the Right Chandelier-earrings for You

Antique and vintage chandelier earrings, as their name implies, are decorative wide pendants lit up with gems. The most coveted are set with diamonds, but there are stunners in gold and pearls as well as enamel.

The accessory is a well-known object of desire — Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is an enthusiast of diamond chandelier earrings. She’s borrowed them from Queen Elizabeth II, who received the jewels from her father, King George IV, as a wedding gift when she was a princess.

Fine jewelry examples from the GeorgianVictorian and Edwardian eras are eternally on the wish lists of fashionable romantics — the types who would toss on these jewels with a T-shirt and jeans as easily as with a floral gown. And while earrings of any kind are the best type of jewelry to give or receive, chandelier earrings are popular and rather imposing — they embody movement and elevate individual style.

Browse antique and vintage chandelier earrings on 1stDibs today. Find a variety of these accessories in our collection of fashion jewelry, too.

Questions About Vintage Chandelier Earrings
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    One way to spot an authentic vintage chandelier is to check the materials used, which will be either brass, bronze or copper. The drops also were usually faceted on both sides as opposed to modern day chandeliers that have one faceted side and one smooth side. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic vintage chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    One way to tell if earrings are vintage is to research the maker. Search for maker's markings on the backs and then look up these marks using trusted online resources. From there, you can find out when the jewelry maker produced pieces similar to yours. Generally, earrings produced between 20 and 100 years ago are vintage. Another method for dating earrings is to examine their details closely. Most vintage earrings will show some signs of wear, such as faint scratches or tarnishing. You can also have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer date your earrings for you. Shop a wide range of vintage earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    To wear vintage clip-on earrings properly, first position them so that the decorative part is in front of your ear and the backing is behind it. Clip-ons feature a variety of backings, but regardless of type, the clips should generally be positioned so that the open part faces the ceiling and the hinge or closed part is near the earlobe. Once you have the earrings in place, secure the clasp. This may involve squeezing a clip or turning a screw or fastener. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage clip-on earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Screw back earrings were most popular during the first half of the 20th century, before clip earrings increased in popularity. However, screw back earrings have never gone out of style. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique screw back earrings from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    Most vintage earrings are clip-ons largely due to how beliefs about piercings have changed over the years. It was only during the 1980s and ’90s that many women began piercing their ears. Prior to that, many women didn't have piercings and could only wear clip-ons, so makers produced earrings to suit their customer base. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of vintage earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    How you use vintage clip-on earrings depends on what type of backing they have. Some simply feature a hinged clip that you open, slip over your ear and then press gently to close. Others may require you to turn a screw or shift a tension bar. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of vintage clip-on earrings.
