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.

Questions About 18karat Gold Earrings
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because gold is too delicate a metal for everyday wear, it is mixed with other alloys. The best mixtures of gold for earrings are 14K and 18K for everyday jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Yes, there is such a thing as 18-karat. The term describes metal that is 75 percent pure gold, with the remaining 25 percent being an alloy like aluminum, copper, nickel, iron or zinc. On 1stDibs, find a variety of gold jewelry and decorative objects.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Whether 14-karat or 18-karat white gold is better for a wedding band depends largely on your preferences. If you like the look of white gold with a warmer tone, you may wish to opt for 18-karat gold because it often appears yellower due to its higher gold content. On the other hand, 14-karat white gold wedding bands tend to be durable, making them a good option for people most concerned with keeping their rings scratch-free. Find an assortment of white gold wedding bands on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    There are several reasons why 14-karat earrings are good. The color of 14-karat gold is vivid, so many people find it visually appealing. Also, with 41.7% of its content coming from alloys, 14-karat gold is hard and strong. As a result, earrings made from it are less likely to become scratched, bent or broken compared to pieces featuring alloys with less base metal, like 18- and 22-karat. The metal is also less prone to tarnishing than varieties that contain more base metals, like 9- and 10-carat. Shop a diverse assortment of 14-karat gold earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Yes, 18-karat gold can be good for earrings. Because it is an alloy, 18-karat gold is more durable and scratch-resistant than pure 24-karat gold.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    What karat gold is best for engagement rings depends on your preferences. The most commonly used varieties are 14-karat gold, which is 58% pure gold, and 18-karat gold, which is 75% pure gold. Generally, 18-karat gold has a richer color because it contains more gold, but 14-karat is stronger since it features more base metal. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of gold engagement rings.
