EarringsAn earring is a piece of jewellery, often in pairs, that are attached to the ear either by a clip on the lobe, through an ear (or cartilage) piercing. The name, clearly, comes from ear- and –ring which explains it all. Earrings have traditionally been worn by both genders but in western cultures in the last 100 years or so it has not been the male custom, however over the last 20 years this has been changing. An earring is a piece of jewelry that is worn on the ear. They are worn by both genders, although until recently in western cultures, they were more typically worn by women, but are making a comeback in males. Earrings can be, and have been, made of almost any material and the designs can be very elaborate. The size/weight limit is down to what the ear can take; heavy earrings may stretch the ear and this is seen as a good thing in some, more primitive, cultures.
