Vintage & Antique Earrings: Drop, Stud and Hoop Designs

This range spans everything from simple studs and hoops to more decorative drop and dangle designs, with a handful of clip-on and screw-back pairs for anyone without pierced ears.

Scottish and Celtic design features strongly here, including pieces in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, recognisable by their clean lines and stylised motifs, also found in our bracelets. You'll also find marcasite earrings, set with small faceted stones for a distinctive dark sparkle, a style that has been popular in silver jewellery since the Victorian era.

If you're after something darker, we regularly carry earrings set with black stones, along with pieces in cameo, malachite, mother of pearl and other gemstones.

We add new stock regularly, so it's always worth checking back for something new. Each pair we list shows the exact piece you'll receive, so you can check the design and condition before ordering.

FAQs

Are your earrings genuinely vintage or antique, not modern reproductions?

Yes. Every pair we list is genuinely vintage or antique, not a modern reproduction. Each pair is inspected before listing, and the listing describes its condition, with photos of the exact pair you will receive.

Will both earrings match exactly?

Yes, our earrings are sold as complete, matching pairs unless a listing specifically says otherwise. Very minor differences can sometimes occur with handmade vintage pieces, and where noticeable, we'll mention this in the description.

Do you sell earrings for non-pierced ears?

Yes, we regularly carry clip-on and screw-back earrings alongside pierced styles. Check the individual listing to see which fitting a pair has.

What is marcasite?

Marcasite jewellery is set with small faceted stones, traditionally pyrite, for a distinctive dark sparkle. It became especially popular in silver jewellery during the Victorian era and remained fashionable through the Art Deco period.

What is Charles Rennie Mackintosh style jewellery?

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a Scottish architect and designer associated with the Glasgow School in the early 20th century. Jewellery in his style features clean lines and stylised natural motifs, most recognisably the "Mackintosh rose," and remains a popular part of Scottish design today.

What affects the price of a pair of earrings?

Price is influenced by the design, materials, any gemstones, age, condition, and how unusual or desirable the piece is. Hallmarks can also add interest and help confirm metal type.
