How Much are Day Night 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 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 27, 2023Whether it is okay to wear your earrings every day depends on your style. Many earrings, like simple hoops, diamond studs and pearl earrings, can coordinate with casual attire, workwear and dressy ensembles with equal ease. However, you may wish to remove your earrings before engaging in activities like sports, household chores or workouts to avoid damaging them. Find a diverse assortment of earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Whether you can wear gold earrings every day depends on the type of gold. Because solid 24-karat and 22-karat gold tend to be more malleable, earrings produced out of these precious metals may not hold up well to daily wear. On the other hand, 18-karat and 14-karat gold are more durable and better suited to frequent wear. No matter the type, you should generally remove your gold earrings before swimming, showering, using hair care products or doing any activity that could cause them to get snagged or bumped. Follow your earrings’ care instructions to keep them looking like new for as long as possible. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of gold earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Yes, it is generally okay to wear diamond earrings every day. A pair of diamond studs or small diamond hoops can work especially well for daily wear due to their size and versatility. Keep in mind that you should usually remove your earrings before applying hair or skin care products, showering or doing any activities that could damage them or cause them to get caught on something. Explore a variety of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.
