Victorian 33.22 Cttw. Tanzanite, Diamond and Emerald Dangle Earrings
Located in New York, NY
Introducing our Victorian 33.22 Cttw. Tanzanite, Diamond, and Emerald Dangle Earrings—an exquisite manifestation of timeless beauty and natural grace. At the heart of these earrings are the pear-shaped tanzanites, delicately positioned at both the surmount and drop, creating an elegant symmetry that captivates the eye. Encased in enchanting diamond halos, set against a black rhodium backdrop, these tanzanite drops face each other in perfect harmony. The surmount drop, slightly smaller than its counterpart, adds a touch of dynamic balance to the design. The connection between the drops is a stem adorned with diamonds and emeralds, expertly crafted to mimic the organic beauty of nature. Emeralds, shaped in delicate leaf motifs, enhance the allure of the design, each one placed alongside baguette diamonds to create a seamless, natural aesthetic. The post and clutch, made of 18k gold, provide a secure and luxurious foundation, ensuring these earrings are not only a visual delight but also a joy to wear. The rest of the body, crafted in silver with a black rhodium top, strikes a perfect balance between modern sophistication and classic opulence. With a total metal weight of 10.71 grams, these earrings are adorned with approximately 1.72 carats of diamonds, showcasing a mesmerizing play of light. The tanzanites, with a weight of 28.99 carats, exhibit a deep and alluring hue, making these earrings a true statement of luxury. Immerse yourself in the regal allure of our Victorian Tanzanite...

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.
