History of ear jewelry

Earring finds date back to ancient times. The oldest find was made in Mongolia. Earring finds have also been made in Egypt from the 18th dynasty. In Greece, women used to wear various decorated earrings. Women in Roman times wore discs set with stones.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, ear jewelry was reserved for the nobility. Drop-shaped models were most commonly worn. It was not until the Biedermeier period that earrings became widespread in everyday life and were worn by women of all social classes. In the past, it was very important to women that their earrings matched their other jewelry and formed a unified whole. For example, earrings should have the same motif as the wearer's brooch. Ear jewelry to match traditional costumes also only emerged in the 19th century. Around 1880, interest in earrings declined somewhat and women wore only small, inconspicuous jewelry in their ears. In the 20th century, women began to wear earrings more frequently again, but only in pairs. Later, with the advent of fashion, women became more daring and sometimes wore jewelry on only one ear or even different-looking earrings. When punk became mainstream, the first parts of the ear were pierced and piercing slowly but surely became fashionable. This trend continues today, and the selection of ear jewelry to wear is almost unlimited. Fortunately, the days when only women wore ear jewelry are long gone. Nowadays, everyone wears ear jewelry as they like and want.

Ways to wear ear jewelry

There are countless ways to wear ear jewelry. Nowadays, the wearer no longer has to have their ears pierced. For people who don't want pierced ears, there are ear clips that can be easily attached to the earlobe. There is also ear jewelry that is held in place with a magnet. However, the selection is still much larger for pierced ears, as ear jewelry today also includes piercings up to the helix that decorate the ear.

In Germany, young children, mostly girls, get their first piercings at an early age. However, it should be noted that piercing a small child's ears can be considered bodily harm. Also, not every jeweler and piercing studio is willing to pierce ears below a certain age. As a parent, you should be aware that a small child cannot understand what is happening to them. They should be old enough to decide for themselves, so that they can really enjoy their first piece of ear jewelry. You should always consult a professional and not get the stupid idea of piercing your own ears or those of others at home!

Cleaning and care of earrings

The same applies here as with all other jewelry. To keep your earrings in good condition for a long time, you should always take care of them and maintain them as needed. Light dirt can be easily removed with a soft microfiber cloth. Tarnished jewelry, such as silver, will shine again after a silver bath, which is available ready-made in stores. A polishing cloth specifically for jewelry is also recommended. Before swimming, bathing, or showering, it is best to remove your earrings to protect them from moisture. Large earrings should also be removed before going to bed. This protects the material and prevents injury, especially with stud earrings, when you lie on your ear and the pin presses into the skin behind your ear.

Be the center of attention at every party, attract admiring glances from your friends, be a trendsetter at the office. Earrings are always appropriate, anywhere and everywhere. Whether large and statement-making or simple and delicate, with this accessory you will always be on trend and perfectly dressed.
