Faceted Black Jade Inverted Black Diamond Silver Hex Drop Earring, Geoffrey Good
Located in Dallas, TX
One-of-a-Kind Hedra Drop Earrings by renowned jewelry maker Geoffrey Good featuring a beautiful pair of natural, untreated Wyoming black jade faceted briolettes swinging from handmade, high-polished sterling silver hedra stud elements embedded with shimmering inverted black diamonds, and finished with sterling silver posts and backs. About the Maker - Geoffrey Good discovered his passion for jewelry in college after designing a pair of earrings for his girlfriend out of glass-scrap materials. After earning a degree in jewelry design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, Geoffrey apprenticed with master jeweler Klaus Wisskirchen, assisting in the creation of jewelry for prestigious firms, including Cartier© and Christie’s©. Opening his studio at the turn of the millennium, Geoffrey began implementing exotic woods and uncommon, natural gemstones into his collections. Influenced by his personal travel, his pieces took on the form of African, European, and Far-Eastern decorative arts and style. "I like to see evidence that things have come from the earth," says Geoffrey, a native Virginian. "There’s a fine line between rough and refined, and I’m always trying to straddle that line." Profiled in The New York Times and working with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Geoffrey has created pieces for both the Grammy and Academy Awards, fashion designers Alexander Wang and Vena Cava...

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.
