How Much are Earrings With Gems?
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.
- What is the rarest gem?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The rarest gem is painite. Since its discovery in 1951, there have only been two specimens known to exist.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024No, jewels and gems aren't the same thing exactly. Although many people use the words interchangeably, they actually have different meanings. A gem is a precious stone in its raw state before being worked, while a jewel is the term for a gem that has undergone shaping and polishing to sell on its own or be incorporated into a piece of jewelry. Explore a large selection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Is a cobalt spinel gem rare?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, the cobalt spinel gem is extremely rare and is one of the most desirable gems in the industry. It is found in a single mine in Vietnam and is one of the few gems that occur naturally. Shop a collection of expertly vetted gems from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Are star sapphires real gems?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, natural star sapphires are real gems. The star-like reflective effect comes from inclusions present in the gemstones. Keep in mind that some jewelry features man-made star sapphires rather than natural stones, making it important that you purchase from reputable jewelers or online platforms. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of expertly vetted star sapphire gemstone jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Clip-on earrings may hurt your ears due to the tension that the backings apply on the lobes. If your earrings have adjustable backs, try fastening them less tightly to reduce discomfort. You can also purchase cushions that stick onto the backings to help ease pressure. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of clip-on earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023No, clip-on earrings don't pierce your ears. Instead of slipping through a piercing, a clip-on earring attaches to the surface of your earlobe with a fastener. Depending on the design of the earrings, the fastener may be a hinged clip, a screw, a tension bar or even a magnet. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of clip-on earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023The name of earrings that go through the ear is pierced earrings. They differ from clip-on earrings, which attach to the earlobe rather than going through a piercing. Pierced earrings come in a wide range of styles, including studs mounted on posts, dangles and drops that hang from wires and hoops that feature a variety of closures. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of pierced earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Yes, you can use clip-on earrings on pierced ears. The different kinds of clasps featured on clip-ons will still secure them to your earlobes if you have a piercing. However, wearing clip-ons exclusively could cause your piercings to gradually close up over time. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of clip-on earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Yes, you can wear pearl earrings with diamond earrings if you wish. One way to tie the look together is to choose pearl and diamond earrings with matching settings. For example, you can pair platinum diamond and pearl earrings or yellow gold diamond and pearl earrings. Shop a large assortment of earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023Many types of earrings that hang from the ear can be elegant. Dangle earrings featuring pearls or gemstones are one option. Large hoops made of gold, platinum or other precious metals are another. For a bold statement, consider chandelier earrings, which feature tiered dangling designs. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of dangle earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023The difference between a drop earring and a dangle earring is how it hangs. A drop earring extends down below the earlobe but is stationary, while a pair of dangle earrings’ design allows it to swing. On 1stDibs, find a selection of earrings.
- What is a saddleback earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023A saddleback earring is one that features a hinged post that snaps into place in a groove cut into the back of the earring. You may also see this type of earring referred to as a snapback or hinged snapback. The backing is commonly used on huggie earrings and some hoops. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of earrings.
- What are minimalist earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Minimalist earrings have a simple, understated look. The term doesn't describe a specific shape, style or material and is largely subjective. For example, some people may consider gold ball studs, small huggie hoops or a pair of small pearl drops to be minimalist. Shop a diverse assortment of earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023What the most popular earring is at any given time has a lot to do with jewelry trends, which are constantly shifting, as well as personal taste. There are all kinds of stylish earrings and earring styles out there, so there is no need to limit yourself to what other people have decided is popular. For example, no matter the shape, stud earrings add a bit of glam to any ensemble. Stud earrings are simple and usually small in size, making them lightweight and easy to wear. Button earrings come with all kinds of embellishments, from textured gold to diamonds and colorful enamel, and transition easily from the office to out on the town. Chandelier earrings, as their name implies, are decorative wide pendants lit up with gems, and the most coveted are set with diamonds, but there are stunners in gold and pearls as well as enamel. Find your next pair of earrings on 1stDibs.
- What are unadorned earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Unadorned earrings are another name for simple, minimalist earrings. Typically, pieces that fit this description have no gemstones, beads or crystals in their design. Instead, they show off the beauty of precious metals like sterling silver, gold and platinum. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of earrings from some of the world's top dealers.
- What are stacked earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Stacked earrings are multiple earrings worn in the same ear. Typically, you will need to have multiple piercings in your ear to pull off a stacked look. Some people purchase sets of small earrings designed to be worn as a stack. Another option is to mix and match small hoops, dangles and studs to create your own stacked effect. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of earrings.
- What is a hook earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023A hook earring is a dangle earring with a specific type of hardware. You can easily identify the earrings by the hook-shaped wire attached to them. This wire slides through a piercing and allows the earring to hang below the earlobe. Some people refer to hook earrings as French hooks or Shepherd hooks. Find a diverse assortment of dangle earrings on 1stDibs.
- What is a CZ earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023A CZ earring is an earring set with cubic zirconia, which some people refer to as CZ. Cubic zirconia is a man-made gemstone produced from zirconium dioxide. The synthetic gem resembles diamonds and is commonly used for producing all types of jewelry. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of cubic zirconia earrings.
- What is a sleep earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023A sleep earring is a small hoop earring. The term comes from the fact that their small size leads some people to sleep while wearing the earrings. However, you may still want to remove your sleep earrings before bed to prevent them from getting caught on anything during the night. Some people refer to sleep earrings as sleeper or sleeper-style earrings. Explore a large collection of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.
- What is a sleeper earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Also known as “huggies,” sleeper earrings are small hoops that don't have sharp posts with a separate backing. They're called “sleeper” earrings because you can sleep in them comfortably without a post jabbing into the back of your ear.
