Affordable Vintage Stud Earrings Under $1,000

Stud earrings are one of the most important jewelry accessories a woman can own. Versatile, chic and always in style, they provide the wardrobe completion for an ensemble that features a statement necklace, wrist cuff or cocktail ring. In some cases, they also become focal points of the ensembles themselves. When you want to keep an eye on the budget, Peter Suchy Jewelers can help you look fashionable in vintage and estate pieces that look elegant and stunning. What are five stud earrings under $1,000?

Most any woman owns a strand of pearls. How should she accessorize this strand? These vintage Japanese Akoya pearl stud earrings might just be the right finishing touch for the ensemble. Set in 14k solid white gold, these pearls have a stunning luster with just a hint of pink and green. The pearls are sized at an ideal 10.5mm to 11mm.

These classic beauties were made in the 1960s. The 14k yellow gold settings hold cultured Mobe pearls with a lovely creamy hue. Measuring one inch in diameter, the combination of pearls and gold creates a 1 1/8 inch diameter stud earring.

Peter Suchy himself crafted these strikingly beautiful golden agate earrings. Beginning with a 14k yellow gold setting, the metal greatly enhances the natural color of these vintage stones that were part of a sizable estate collection. Suitable for the office or for a fancy dinner out, these are one-of-a-kind stud earrings that you cannot buy off a shelf elsewhere.

Imagine two suns with the Akoya pearls as the centers. This is the vision that the jewelry makers followed when creating these dazzling pieces. Relying on 14k solid white gold to perfectly display the pinkish pearls, artisans in the 1960s figured that only 24 round single-cut diamonds could heighten the appeal of these vintage studs. The gemstones weigh in at .50cts. With a diameter of 9/16 inches, these are perfect earrings for daily wear.

Jewelry makers frequently prefer to use white gold when working with pearls. In this case, the artisans proved that this does not have to be the standard. Fourteen karat yellow gold holds two Akoya pearls measuring 8.1mm each. Nestled in the gold are also 10 round diamonds weighing .60cts. These stud earrings lay flat against the lobe, which makes them eye-catching parts to any ensemble.
