Diamond earrings from GoldenMine.com at cheap, wholesale prices! The hoop earring and the more elaborate pendant earring are said to have originated in Eastern Asia around 3000 B.C., but gemstones were not widely used until the Roman Empire in the 2nd century A.D. The Empress Theodora, during the Byzantine period, was known to favor gemstone earrings set with long chains of gems that dangled down each side of the face. But throughout history, by far the most popular gemstone to wear on the earlobe is the diamond.
In England, weighty, jewel-encrusted diamond earrings came into vogue around 1660 and would continue to be popular well into the 19th century. Known as Girandoles, they were often so elaborate and heavy that they would stretch out the earlobe of the wearer. But in the Middle Ages and on into the Renaissance, complex hairstyles and fashions prohibited the women from wearing diamond hoop or stud earrings.
