Vintage Tiffany Co. 18K Yellow Gold Vannerie Basket Weave Stud Earrings 2002
Located in New York, NY
These vintage Tiffany & Co. Vannerie stud earrings are crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and feature the brand’s signature basket weave design, inspired by traditional hand-woven patterns. Substantial yet refined, they sit flat on the ear and wear comfortably all day. Produced in 2002 and made in Italy, this design is no longer in active production in this exact form, making it a desirable example of early-2000s Tiffany gold jewelry. The polished finish gives them a rich, warm glow that pairs easily with both casual and formal looks. A timeless Tiffany gold staple that works just as well as an everyday stud as it does in a curated fine jewelry collection. About the Vannerie Collection Tiffany’s Vannerie Collection draws inspiration from classic basket weaving, translating texture and craftsmanship into precious metal. The result is a sculptural, architectural look that feels both traditional and modern. Pieces from this collection are known for their weight, detail, and enduring wearability.

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.
