Diamond Earrings History
Earrings date back to 2400 BC. They have gone in and out of style many times, but mostly based on wealth and hair fashion. Yes, hair fashion. In the early years, of course, only kings and queens and the very wealthy could afford to adorn themselves with these expensive trinkets. Later on, they were shunned as fashionable when the hair styles would prevent the ears from being exposed or when hats and bonnets covered the ears. In those periods, a woman’s ears were regarded as a private part and only exposed to their husbands or lovers. Decorating them with diamond earrings would only be considered very decadent. These days however, earrings are here to stay no matter what the hair style.
