Exceptional Georgian Paste Earrings, ex. Lillian Gish
Located in New York, NY
Amazing Georgian paste earrings in the most extraordinary shade of lime green from the early 19th Century. Set in a scalloped 14k gold setting around each stone.
Georgian earrings of this quality, scale and color are so incredibly rare. The faceting is exquisite.
This pair unfortunately is not perfect. There is a little sliver of glass missing from the top point edge of one of the ear pendants. It is not very noticeable when worn but is visible when closely examined. There is also a chip on oval stone of same earring.
The surreal color of the lime green glass paste probably has much to do with the minerals used its manufacture. These are minerals which are obviously no longer used so this color is not replicable. The original fittings have been changed to clips later on.
In addition, these come from the collection of actress Lillian Gish...

Stack Earrings 14k Solid Gold
Located in EINDHOVEN, NB
Tweek Eek’s signature is working with factories that don’t normally make jewelry but are often active in the high-tech or furniture industries. These companies work with sheet material, and our challenge is to transform these 2D sheets into 3D objects and shapes.
We also often use components in our collections that do not belong in the jewelry world. Rivets for example, which are mainly used in the shipbuilding and carpentry industry. In this collection we work with bolts. For us, these parts are the diamonds of jewelry.
For this collection, we designed the jewelry to consist of several layers, again creating the 3D effect that characterizes our brand.
The contrast between the technicality of the industry and the elegance of our designs makes our pieces bold but refined.
Special thanks to our wonderful goldsmith @goudsmederij_pierredes

We work in partnership with Pierredes, a Dutch company that, like us, uses only fair gold in the making of their jewelry. Gold mining is an unhealthy and dangerous process in which oppression and exploitation unfortunately often occur.
Pierredes produces all their jewelry from recycled gold, which means it doesn’t have to be mined again. They know exactly where the gold is coming from because they control the recycling process.

Antique and Vintage Fashion Earrings for Sale
Shopping for antique and vintage fashion earrings?
Costume jewelry, which is also called fashion jewelry, is designed to accessorize with current fashions and is typically made with inexpensive materials. Whether you’re seeking a playful pair of designer fashion earrings or a similar accessory from the fine jewelry collection on 1stDibs that exudes elegance and grace, the offerings here present something for everyone.
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. 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. In the collection of fashion jewelry on 1stDibs, however, you're more likely to find earrings set with malachite, turquoise or other similarly inexpensive materials.
Vintage Chanel fashion clip-on earrings in gold-plated metal can be found set with luscious red gripoix stones or rhinestones, while earrings designed by costume jewelry makers such as Trifari or Kenneth Jay Lane — whether they feature lucite cabochons or poured milk glass — are as stylish and adaptable to both casual and formal wear as they’ve ever been.
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. 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 BVLGARI 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.
On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique, new and vintage fashion earrings today.
