Earrings are ornaments that are worn and attached to both ears that usually come in pairs, one for the left ear and one for the right ear. The way earrings are attached to the ear vary because some earrings are fixed in place by clips or screws while others are permanently attached to rods or rings that are placed through holes that have been pierced in the ear lobes. Holes in the ear lobes can be pierced with the use of a needle or a needle-gun device where every time the trigger is pulled, the needle moves forward with force to pierce through the ear lobes. Once the holes have been pierced, it is important to wear earrings all the time to ensure that the holes do not create new skin to close them.
Until the early 1900s, most earrings were made of gold and silver metals that are manually carved with different designs and sometimes set with precious gems. Nowadays, earrings are also made of inexpensive elements such as fiberglass or thermoplastics that are usually studded with semiprecious stones or costume jewels.
Earrings have been worn in history for a very long time including in the ancient civilizations. In some societies, earrings are highly acceptable to be worn by men similarly as women wear them. In the ancient times, earrings were worn as charms to drive away evil spirits which suggests that frightening sounds should be driven away from the ears. Nowadays, earrings are more of an accessory than a charm. They are now popularly worn to enhance the presentation of an appearance or to divert attention to the ears if considered as a woman’s best asset.
