The Antique Parlour
Antique & Vintage Earrings
Surviving as a matched pair for a hundred years is rare — which makes authentic antique earrings among the hardest categories to source. Our collection of antique and vintage earrings ranges from Victorian rose cut diamond and pearl drops in gold-backed silver to geometric Art Deco diamond studs, carved coral and onyx drops, South Sea pearl earrings, and sculptural Retro gold pieces from the 1940s, including occasional signed pairs from makers such as Lester & Co.
Antique earrings tell you their age through their fittings: 19th-century screw-backs, mid-century clip-on earrings, and early post settings all appear here in original condition. Old mine and old European cut diamonds give many pairs the soft, warm light that modern brilliant cuts can't replicate, and several are accompanied by GIA certification.
Every pair is one of a kind, inspected, dated, and authenticated in-house before it's listed. All domestic orders ship free, fully insured, by express delivery, and layaway is available. To see a pair in person or over FaceTime, book a private viewing by appointment in Great Neck, New York. Questions about fittings or conversions? Contact us — we're happy to advise before you buy.
