History


Ear piercing is the oldest form of body modification and people have been doing it for thousands of ears. Ear piercing is still extremely popular and ear lobes are still the most common place for people to have pierced.

Gold Hoop Earrings are a staple in any jewellery box and they never go out of style, but where did this trend originate from? Different ancient civilisations have been adorning their bodies in jewellery for thousands of years. The earliest evidence of Gold Hoop Earrings being worn was discovered by archaeologists. The earrings they found had belonged to Sumerian women from 2500BC, who had also seemed partial to the classic gold hoop style we still love today! (Refinery29).

Hoop earrings date back to early civilisations and have been documented by archaeologists across different periods of time in different areas of the world. For many, hoop earrings hold cultural significance, which dates back centuries. Ancient Egyptians would adorn themselves with hoop earrings, and sometimes even their cats which were deemed the most sacred of animals (Refinery29). From the Hmong women of Vietnam to African American women during the Black Power movement in 1960, many different women have adopted different variations of hoop earrings, which holds different significance in each culture (i-D, Vice).

Earrings were turned into a status symbol by Julius Caesar during his reign over Ancient Rome (Refinery29). Interestingly, earrings were seen as a symbol of power and were worn mostly by men. Right through until, and including, the Elizabethan era men of power and nobility would use ear piercings to show their wealth (All That’s Interesting).

A document published in 1577 by clergyman William Harrison is quoted as saying: "Some lusty courtiers and gentlemen of courage do wear either rings of gold, stones or pearls in their ears." (Wikipedia)
Earlier evidence shows men wearing earrings way back in Ancient Persia, when carved images of Persian soldiers were discovered, they showed the men wearing an earring (Wikipedia).
