Cartier Paris 5cts Diamond Huggie Hoop Earrings in 18K Yellow Gold
Located in Dallas, TX
A fabulous pair of vintage Cartier Paris diamond huggie-hoop earrings. They showcase approximately 5 carats of sparkling diamonds set in shimmering 18 karat yellow gold. Each earring’s design features four rows of scintillating round-brilliant diamonds of finest Cartier quality (F to G color and VVS to VS clarity). Earrings’ profile silhouette is gently curving and hugs the ear perfectly. By slightly elevating middle two diamond rows and slightly angling the outer rows, Cartier masterfully endowed the earrings with wonderful volume similar to that of bombe-style designs. This high-craftsmanship also creates maximum diamond exposure where glittering brilliants are on view from the front and equally from the wearer’s profile. These earrings epitomize sophisticated glamour and classic elegance for which Cartier is celebrated. They are certain to delight those who wear them. Earrings are 1 inch in length and have posts for pierced ears. They also come with their original Cartier box. Summary: - Elegant huggie-hoop style earrings from iconic Cartier bursting...

Shop Now: Antique and Vintage Earrings for Sale on 1stDibs

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.
