Since ancient times, ear piercing has been a part of a woman’s adornment. The very first ear-ring that perhaps a woman wore was a leaf. From then to now! For a pierced ear, studs, loops and ear-rings are now made out of a wide variety of materials. The imagination is now the only limit. Anything from plastic to metal, from wood to glass and stone, can be the material for an ear-ring.

Women find ear-rings versatile, pretty, fun and easy to change. Even if a woman can’t change her hairstyle often, there are no limits to how she can change her looks with different ear-rings. There are imaginative psychological assumptions associated with the length of an ear-ring that a woman chooses. For example, in some cultures it is presumed that a woman who chooses long, dangling ear-rings has loose morals when compared to a woman who wears small ear-studs! This is akin to the fallacy of presuming that a woman who has short hair is tomboyish, while a woman with long hair is more feminine in her ways.

Several women feel that beautiful ear-rings keep the attention focused on their face vis-à-vis other parts of their anatomy, thus making them more comfortable in male company.

Over human history, the popularity of ear-rings has depended on the fashions that prevail at a particular time. Whenever attention has been directed at elaborate hairstyles and intricately crafted clothes, ear-rings became less popular. Whenever high-collars appeared on the fashion scene and hair was worn up, ear-rings regained popularity. Sometimes religious and social sentiments have affected the use of ear-rings among women, as this accessory was associated with vanity, excess and heathens, at some points in history.
