 Silver earrings have a long history. Ear piercing is said to be humankind’s first experimentation with body piercing and has been around for thousands of years. Ancient mummified bodies from 5,000 years ago have been found with pierced ears. In ancient civilizations, men wore gold and silver earrings for various reasons: for spiritual significance, to display wealth and prestige, and even, during the Elizabethan age, to strengthen their long-distance vision.
In modern times, gold and silver earrings have long been seen as a female affectation. Only recently has the stigma of what was thought to be a feminine adornment lifted, and ear piercing as a practice has become socially acceptable again for males. Still, men seem to shy away from the more ostentatious and decorative earrings, and opt for simple silver hoop earrings or tiny studs.
