This will help you to make an informed decision, rather than picking the first pair of anniversary earrings you find. But first let’s look at where the ideas came from.

Historically, earrings were worn by men

Earrings have long been a popular adornment for both sexes, but did you know that traditionally they were only worn by men? The piercing of ears is one of the oldest forms of body modification and there’s written and physical evidence from locations around the world. The earliest being carved images that were discovered in Persia. They showed Persian Empire soldiers wearing an earring.

It was found that Tutankhamen’s earlobes had been perforated. Which suggests that he wore earrings, but none were ever found inside his tomb.

In Ancient Rome it was slaves that wore the earrings, and in Ancient Greece earrings were worn by ‘ladies of the night’.

Earrings have come in and out of fashion for centuries, and in the 13th Century, the Catholic Church forbid the wearing of earrings. However there are always a handful of people who enjoy flouting the rules. And in this case it was left to thieves, lower classes and pirates.

In the 1590’s earrings once again became fashionable for men to wear, and we already remember childhood stories of pirates, who nearly always had an earring or two. Sailors pierced their ears as an indication they had crossed the Equator or sailed around the world. It was also considered to be payment for a proper burial, should they drown at sea.

The ear an earring was worn in has also had some significance. The only boy in a family wore an earring in his right ear. While the son of a single mother whose husband had been killed wore an earring in his left ear.

As you can see, earrings have played a part in our daily lives throughout history, and we continue to carry on the tradition, especially when it comes to buying anniversary earrings for all the special ladies in our lives.

• Small round earrings – Perfect for those people with a longer face
• Long, dangling earrings – For people with a squarer face
