We prefer to enhance our ears. Try to forget that you had your ears pierced in a mall just like soon as you could talk your mother into letting you get it done. Attempt to forget that you have given away as gifts more review than there are margaritas in Cabo. Consider in the perspective of an alien visiting our world for the first time:

'They decorate their auditory recepticals with little bits of gleaming metal and decorative stones.'

In our fast-paced modern countries our ears offer one of many easiest and most distinguished body parts to enhance. We show ourselves, our moods, our attitudes through the jewelry we afix to your ears.

Earrings have already been around forever. Well, ok, as near once we can inform, a really really long time. The oldest known earrings will be the Lunate earrings. The Lunate earrings were excavated in Ur in Mesopotamia, what is now Iraq (of all places). These silver crescent hoops are approximately 4,500 years of age. The initial patterns of earrings were hoops and pendants manufactured from precious metals, mostly gold, and often bone.

The acceptance of earrings rose and fell throughout the ages in direct relation to hairstyles. As an example, the adornment of our ears fell from favor through the Middle Ages. It had been considered immoral for respectable married women to be observed in public places with their heads exposed. Then inside the mid-1500's girls began wearing their hair up, subjecting their ears. Earrings resurged.

As you will find people carrying them to-day earrings succeed with as many different modifications. We wear danglies of all forms, hoops and threads and spirals and swirlies, produced from all kinds of products including gold and silver and sea-shells, pearls and gems and glass beads. We wear earrings as art.
