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 Vintage Pearl Earrings
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    What necklace you wear with pearl earrings is ultimately up to you. Pearl earrings are very versatile and coordinate with many different necklaces. One way to approach pairing is to consider scale. If you're sporting a large pair of pearl studs or dramatic dangling pearl earrings, choose an understated necklace like a single string of pearls or a pendant necklace. Or, balance small pearl studs or button earrings with a bolder statement necklace like a chunky gold collar, dramatic festoon or multi-strand pearl necklace. Find a large selection of necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    To tell if pearl earrings are real, examine them up close. Because real pearls come from oysters and mussels, they are usually not perfectly round, and their natural materials give them a slightly rough or sandy feel. Imitation pearls tend to be uniform in size and shape and will usually have a smooth texture. A certified appraiser or experienced dealer can further help you identify your jewelry. Find a large collection of pearl earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Yes, pearl earrings can suit everyone. The trick is to choose a style that complements your face shape. Pearl drop and dangle earrings add length to round faces and balance diamond-shaped and triangular faces. Pearl studs are often flattering for individuals with oval faces, while pearl clusters help soften the lines of square and rectangular face shapes. On 1stDibs, shop a large assortment of pearl earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    Yes, pearl earrings can break easily. The delicate nature of the jewelry comes from the fact that pearls are relatively soft and can become scratched and scuffed more readily than some other gemstones and precious metals. Fortunately, there are things you can do to protect your earrings. You should generally remove them before you go to sleep, shower, apply hair and skin care products or engage in active activities like exercise or sports. Following the care and maintenance instructions provided by the maker can also help extend the life of pearl earrings. Explore a wide variety of pearl earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Yes, you can wear hoop earrings with pearls. The secret is to choose a size that suits the moment. For Sunday brunch or a more casual occasion, hoop earrings that are around 20 to 30 millimeters in diameter are often just right to complement pearls. Go smaller if you're wearing your pearl-and-hoops combo to the office, and don't be afraid to opt for big and bold for a night out. On 1stDibs, explore a large assortment of hoop earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Yes, you can wear pearls with gold earrings. One trick to achieving a balanced look is to consider scale.
