My cousin Viriginia has began to wear silver stud earrings and not the dangly styles that she once had. I think that they really make her look rather classy and I may well find out the way they look on me.
Last time that I went out looking for earrings I began to think about their general history..
I discovered a few fascinating things on Wikipedia that I will be able to share with the girl behind the counter next time. The idea of ear piercing and adding some form of band as a form of body adornment has been around since the beginning of civilisation itself.
It was originally the men who wore them and was specially favored by soldiers and often stood for an achievement in battle.
Among the first that may still be found are on images of old Persian soldiers on the walls of the palace at Persopolis. Aaron uses them in the bible to build a statue of a god for the rebelling Israelites.
Whether you really want to get pierced ears is the initial thing that you need to decide when you wish to get a pair of earrings for the initial time If you make your mind up that you don’t, you can always have them done later on but if you have them pierced right now, they’re going to be like that throughout your life. Below are the three most preferred types of pierced earrings
- stud earrings – this style is ordinarily small in size and are kept in place by way of a bar through your ear and a fastener on the rear.
- hoop earrings – perhaps these are the one that gave the earring its name in the beginning seeing that they seem much like a ring.
They can be either semi-circular or circiular in shape and are usually fastened by sliding one end into a small tube at the opposite end.
They can be any size that you need.
- dangle earrings – these are the sorts which dangle down from your ear lobe and you can find them quite short or reaching all the way down to the shoulders.
Needless to say, you are certainly not limited to just having one sort at the same time and in the present day people often wear a few at the same time. In actual fact we are seeing Viriginia next in a few weeks.
Sterling Silver Stud Earrings
I haven’t seen her for some time. I wonder if she’ll turn up wearing the sterling silver stud earrings.
