We prefer to decorate our ears. Make an effort to forget that you'd your ears pierced in a mall just like soon as you could talk your mother into letting you take action. Try to forget that you've given away as presents more earrings than there are margaritas in Cabo. Consider from the perspective of an alien visiting the planet for the very first time:

"They decorate their oral recepticals with little items of shiny steel and decorative rocks."

In our fast-paced modern countries our ears give one of many simplest and most prominent parts of the body to enhance. We show ourselves, our feelings, our perceptions through the jewelry we afix to the ears.

Earrings have now been around forever. Well, ok, as near as we can inform, a really really very long time. The oldest known earrings would be the Lunate earrings. The Lunate earrings were excavated in Ur in Mesopotamia, what's now Iraq (of all places). These silver crescent hoops are about 4,500 years old. The initial types of earrings were chains and hoops manufactured from precious metals, mostly gold, and sometimes bone.

The reputation of earrings rose and fell through the ages in direct relation to hairstyles. As an example, the ornamentation of our ears fell out of favor during the Dark Ages. It had been considered wrong for respectable married women to be viewed in public places making use of their heads uncovered. Then in the mid-1500's women began wearing their hair up, exposing their ears. Earrings resurged.

Today earrings thrive with as numerous different variations as there are people wearing them. We use danglies of all types, hoops and articles and spirals and swirlies, made from all kinds of materials including gold and silver and sea shells, pearls and jewels and glass beads. We use earrings as art.
