Vintage Earrings

Welcome to MEW's Jewels Vintage Earrings Gallery! Here you'll find many vintage styles from early 20th century to the mid 1980's in screw-back, clip-on and pierced attachments. We try to reunite earrings with their parure mates, but after awhile we decide to list them alone based on their beauty and uniqueness. When ever there is another piece that marries beautifully with a set of earrings a reference will be made within the listing pointing you to that perfect mate. Who knows? Maybe you'll find that elusive pair of earrings you been looking for to match something in your vintage collection!

I've had pierced ears since the early 1970's and two holes more recently. I wear earrings every day and most times utilize both holes. Classic, dangles, tassels, unique and colorful describes my taste. You will find those qualities and more in MEW's Jewels earring gallery. Find genuine stones, glass, plastic, wood, rhinestones, enamel, bold and conservative styles. My middle aged earlobes don't take too kindly to very heavy styles so weight will always be noted within the listing in that case. Remember, clip-ons can alleviate the droop on weightier styles so don't count them out all together if that's what you like.

Of course coloring, face shape, hair style and age all have a lot to do with what styles you can wear attractively, but the bottom line for me is comfort and do I feel confident when I look in the mirror? Confidence & delight - isn't that why we wear vintage and new accessories? When you find a pair of vintage earrings that you love, stop and ask yourself, does this match in era, metal color, stone color and proportion to the piece I'm going to pair it with? Are they appropriate for business wear? Also, how much use will I get out of them? Are they versatile enough to wear both casually and for work? Are you a practical shopper or do you have disposable income? All good questions when making any vintage jewelry purchase. Don't forget to check out MEW's Jewels Artisan Category where you will find hand-crafted drop earrings with polymer focal beads, genuine stone and crystal. All the best from MEW to you!
