To women, earrings are a necessary addition to accentuate the face shape and it is easy to see why we choose to buy pearl earrings above other types of jewellery. Pearl earrings can look stunning on ladies of all ages and it doesn’t matter what face you have, pearls complement it perfectly. Of course, something as beautiful as pearl earrings don’t ever date or look off-trend and that’s why people buy them to add to their jewellery collection. However, some do question where this earring passion stems from, and they want to know if it is a new attraction. Not at all, and research suggests that women have always enjoyed this form of body decoration, which is why earrings are still a popular choice today.
Nothing is static in today’s society and it remains to be seen how body decoration will develop in the future years, but presently it is the ears which attract most attention for accessorising. We express ourselves, our moods, our attitudes through the jewellery we affix to our ears. We buy pearl earrings simply because they are the perfect way to make us look young, sophisticated and give us a glowing complexion.
It is fair to say that earrings have been around a long time and they have managed to remain on the top of everyone’s desirability list. You might not be aware that the oldest recorded earrings are Lunate ones. The Lunate earrings were excavated in Ur in Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq. These gold crescent hoops are approximately 4,500 years old. In fact, the earliest earring designs were made of precious metals which were usually gold and even sometimes bone.
The popularity of earrings rose and fell throughout the ages in direct relation to hairstyles. You only need to consider the Middle Ages when earrings lost popularity slightly. It was considered immoral for respectable married women to be seen in public with their heads uncovered. However, by the time the mid 1500s had arrived, earrings had a made a comeback since women were allowed to wear their hair up and show their ears. Earrings resurged and continued to gain popularity for years later, where pearls became a middle-class desirable option.
Nowadays, there are people from all walks of life wearing all sorts of earrings. We wear drop earrings of all sorts with hoops and posts, made from all kinds of materials including silver and gold and seashells, pearls and gems and glass beads. We wear earrings as art and this helps us to express ourselves. Of course, there are so many different types of earrings, but the most popular female choice is always pearl earrings.
