Many people today do not understand the origin of this particular piece of jewelry. Long ago during Bible times, the earrings were a symbol of prostitutes and jezebels. They were worn by people who worshiped the devil and were dressed in many abhorrent ways. They were later worn by those who wished to ward off evil spirits, rather than praise them. Still further forward, they were worn known to be worn by men on the hunt. The symbol was shaped in the form of the animal they were after.

Unisex jewelry of all kinds took on a new generation during the sixties and seventies. During these years, the hippie and gay communities created their own styles, their own designs and held many piercing parties. During the next few generations, the gay community started the left is right campaign. Then, throughout the eighties people began to really take on the body piercing fashions, piercing the upper lip or the eyebrow and many other parts of the body, as well. They were still called earrings, even when they were adorning the navel. [I:http://jewel-ry.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/JonathanSilverag28.jpg]

It has always been a long tradition for mothers to take their little girls to have their ears pierced by the time they are five years old at the latest. Piercing also has some religious significance in many areas of the world.
