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 20 Carat Earrings
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The term “20 carat gold” does not have a meaning. “Carat” is a unit of measurement used to describe the size of gemstones. “Karat” is the unit used to describe gold precious metal. Gold stamped as 20 karat or 20K is 83.3 percent pure gold and 16.7 percent metal alloy. You'll find a wide variety of gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023How many carats an earring should be depends on your taste and preference. You can find gemstone stud earrings in weights starting at 0.25 carats and upwards of 2 carats. Keep in mind that generally, the larger the carat weight, the bigger and heavier the earrings will be. For everyday wear, you may prefer smaller earrings, while larger ones can be stunning for special occasions. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of gemstone earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Whether 0.25 carats is too small for earrings is a matter of personal preference. Gemstone earrings with a total carat weight of 0.25 are on the smaller end of the average size range, which is 0.25 to 1 total carat. However, some people prefer petite earrings for everyday wear. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of gemstone earrings.
- Is a 1-carat earring too big?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Whether a 1-carat earring is too big depends on your personal preferences. An individual earring with a 1-carat stone will usually cover a good portion of the earlobe without completely hiding it. As you shop for studs, keep in mind that there is a difference between total carat weight and carat weight. The carat weight refers to the weight of each earring, while the total carat weight is the combined weight of both earrings in a pair. A 1-carat earring set would actually typically include two 0.5-carat earrings, which are generally small enough to keep most of the earlobe visible. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of gemstone earrings.
- Is 1-carat too big for earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023Whether 1-carat is too big for earrings is largely a matter of personal opinion and preference. Some people may prefer to wear larger 1-carat earrings for formal evening events and other special occasions. However, others will wear 1-carat earrings to help punctuate any outfit. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of gemstone earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The term 1-carat diamond earrings means a pair of earrings set with diamond gemstones that have a total weight of 200 milligrams. Depending on the design, each earring may hold one diamond or several smaller gems. You'll find a variety of diamond gemstone earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Whether 1.3-carat diamond earrings are too small is a matter of personal opinion. A pair of earrings with a total carat weight of 1.3 is considered to be medium-sized. The smallest diamond earrings are around 0.25 carats, while the largest are 1.5 carats or more. Explore a wide range of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The average cost of a pair of 1-carat diamond earrings is around $2,500. However, that price can change depending on the quality of the diamonds and the brand.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A good carat size for diamond stud earrings is usually between .25 carat and 1 carat for everyday wear. For nicer occasions it is worth going larger to over 1 carat in size.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The average cost of a pair of diamond stud earrings with a total carat weight of 1-carat is $2,495. Depending on the clarity, cut and color of the diamond, the price and other details may vary. On 1sDibs, shop for antique and vintage diamond earrings.
