Certified authentic pre-owned earrings

Pre-owned earrings give you access to a wider variety of styles than the new market. Among our second-hand jewels, you'll find contemporary earrings, as well as antique earrings from decades or even centuries past. The properties and strength of gold and precious stones ensure that your jewelry is in perfect condition, free from oxidation. Our gemologists appraise each piece, date it and estimate its new value. If necessary, second-hand earrings are refurbished in our workshops before being offered for sale, for up to 60% less than their original value. Historically in Europe, earrings grew in size from the 17th and 18th centuries onwards, as fashions favored upswept hairstyles and the necklines of garments widened. In the 19th century, pendants could reach up to the shoulder. In our collections, you'll find Louis Philippe-style antique earrings, dormeuses, trembleuses and girandoles. Earrings from the dawn of the 20th century are shorter, featuring diamonds or pearls. Discover our range of 18-carat gold earrings, including recent and vintage chips and hoops.

What are the different types of earrings?

There are many types: studs, leverbacks, hoop earrings, dangling earrings, and chandelier earrings. Each style offers a different look, from the most discreet to the most sophisticated. Some styles can also be set with precious stones or diamonds for a more luxurious effect.

How do I choose the shape of my earrings?

The choice depends on the shape of your face and the style you want: round faces may favour long or angular designs, while oval faces suit all shapes.

What is the average price for second-hand 18-carat gold earrings?

The price varies depending on the weight of the gold, the presence of stones and the complexity of the design. At Gemme, simple studs, stud earrings or hoop earrings start at around €300, while more elaborate models set with stones or designer pieces can exceed €3,000. Each piece is appraised to guarantee its authenticity and quality.

What type of clasp should I choose for optimal comfort and security?

Screw or butterfly clasps offer good security for studs and stud earrings. Hoop earrings and creole earrings should be sturdy and easy to open while remaining securely fastened.

Is it possible to buy a single earring?

Our collection includes single earrings, which are ideal for replacing a lost piece or creating an asymmetrical look. This also allows you to mix different styles or stones according to your preferences.
