The Tradition Of Wearing Earrings
In the days of the Bible, it is alleged; earrings were worn as a symbol of demonic worship. They were often worn by jezebels and prostitutes. Most people do not realize that it was seen as the practice of the unholy for many centuries. The practice began again as symbols worn to ward off bad spirits. They were worn by men and women alike and were usually in the form of some kind of animal.
During the sixties and seventies, unisex earrings took on a life of their own. The gay community would later proclaim the left is right rule, meaning the left earring only would symbolize their sexual orientation to others. The hippie community picked it up to adorn their long hair and peace symbols became all the rage. During the eighties, body piercings became a fashion. Suddenly, they were still being called earrings, even though they were fixed to the navel.
It has always been a long tradition for mothers to take their little girls to have their ears pierced by the time they are five years old at the latest. Piercing also has some religious significance in many areas of the world.
It is common in America to see women wearing them more often than men. However, men do wear them, as fashion statements, whether they are gay or not. There are more areas of the ear that can be pierced. The lobe is usually chosen first, as it is the largest part of the ear and the most exposed.
Earrings can be unique down to the finest point. A pair of earrings will have distinguishing marks on each, regardless of what kind of material they are made of.
They are made from metals, stones, plastic and any other material someone can get their hands on. As long as it has a post, an earring can look any way that is desired.
