Earrings

Since ancient man the ears have been decorated. Even today the ears are still pierced and ornamented. Lobe stretching is very popular with ancient tribes, and some people are doing it today. The human ear lobe can be stretched to enormous proportions. They can be stretched so far that they can almost rest on the shoulders. Earrings are such a common thing that they are universally accepted by nearly every society in the world.

Earrings are the only jewels involving some mutilation of the person which have been retained by highly civilized nations. The excuse for the earring is that it is a very ancient style that never died out. Earrings have been made in all shapes sizes and colors. Some of them have even been made with pendants in the middle of them.

Trojans had styles for earrings that were very unique and individual. They are believed to symbolize idols. Most of their earrings were woven with gold string similar to the way a basket would be woven. The earrings usually differ in design, but hold the popular hoop style.

The fashion of wearing earrings is still as popular as ever in India. Some of the most beautiful earrings in the world are made in India. India’s earrings are usually made out of gold, pearls, diamonds, or a combination.

Nose rings are one of the most ancient forms of personal adornment. They are descried by early travelers as being universal among semi barbarous tribes.
