About Earrings
A personal adornment, sometimes an amulet, worn attached to the ear lobe.
Since prehistoric times the ear has been pierced for the insertion of the earring; certain primitive tribes distort the lobe with plugs several inches in diameter or with heavy stones.
Egyptians first wore large gold hoops, which eventually became smaller and supported pendants.
In Babylonia and later in Assyria where the earring was worn by men to denote rank, the earring evolved into an exquisite work of the goldsmith's art.
In Greece the finely wrought gold earrings often had tinkling pendants.
The Romans were first to popularize earrings set with precious stones. Earrings were little used with the headdresses of the Middle Ages, but their use had a vigorous revival during the Renaissance and was also adopted by men; pearls were especially favored.
In the 18th cent. the diamond earring became most fashionable; the 19th cent. saw extensive use of the cameo.
With the invention (c.1900) of a screw device for attaching the earring, their popularity again increased.
