Earrings History
Earrings have a long history dating back to a number of ancient civilisations. Ear piercings are also one of the oldest recorded examples of body modification that exists. Throughout history, earrings have been worn by both men and women of a variety of social classes, across a number of different civilisations including the ancient Egyptians and Romans.
Throughout the Renaissance period, the popularity of earrings spread across Europe. During this time they were most typically worn by sailors and symbolised that they had travelled the world. Over time earrings became known to symbolise a variety of different things and just like bracelets and necklaces, earrings became known to symbolise wealth and status.
From the 1960s onwards the meaning of earrings changed again This time they were seen as a symbol of rebellion and worn to make a statement. From rockabillies to punk rockers, ear piercings were used as a form of expression and style. Piercings were no longer seen just on the lobe but on the helix, tragus, conch, rook and more.
Now in modern mainstream society, earrings can be worn by anyone and everyone. Available in a range of styles including everything from demi-fine subtle studs to statement dangle and hoop earrings, there is something to match every look and style.

Stud earrings tend to be on the small side and sit snuggly on top of the ear lobe. They are held in place by a metal or plastic backing that sits at the back of the ear. Subtle and delicate, stud earrings are great for everyday wear.
Huggie earrings are a style of hoop earrings that are small yet chunky in size. They sit close to the ear and hug the lobe. Huggie hoops allow the wearer to opt for a statement hoop look that compliments their style rather than being the focal piece of their outfit.
Hoop earrings are traditionally circular in shape and can be small or large in size. They loop from the front of the lobe to the back before fastening together. While most hoop earrings are round, they can come in varying shapes like triangles, squares, and hexagons.
Drop earrings and drop hoop earrings are earrings that sit just below the ear. They often feature decorative pendants, chain links, gemstones and pearls. Although the earring drops slightly below the earlobe, the pendant piece is mostly stationary, though it is free to move slightly.
An ear cuff is a piece of jewellery that is worn around the outer edge of your ear. It simply slips over the cartilage and gives a similar look to that of a helix or snug piercing.
Stacking earring sets feature a mixture of stud earrings and huggies. They can be mixed and matched or stacked up the earlobe.
Gemstone Earrings are made from metal and feature semi precious stones or gemstones such as pearls, rose quartz, cubic zirconia, Lapis Lazuli, Howlite, Chalcedony and more.
