An earring is jewelry you wear on your ear. Your favorite earrings might be tiny white pearls, or they might be long feathers that dangle to your shoulders. An earring is any kind of ring, stud, hoop, or dangling decoration that you clip on your earlobe or hook through a hole pierced in your ear.

Earrings have remained popular for more than 7000 years, and originated in ancient Asia. Egyptians would once wear earrings to signify the fact they were wealthy or of a higher class.

In early Ancient Roman times, earrings were still being worn by both men and women, and they were incredibly popular during the reign of emperor Julius Caesar (100 – 44 BC) who himself was thought to have worn an earring at times.

Earrings have had different meanings as time has gone by. For example, they were worn by ancient Egyptians to symbolize their wealth and high status. In Roman times, they had the opposite meaning and were worn as a symbol of slavery.
