Origin of Earring

Gypsies, some Spaniards and Ital-
ians and renegade tribes of Indians
still cling to the ancient custom of
piercing the ear and suspending vari-
GUS grotesQue figures from 1t. The
idea Of piercing the ear has gone into
almost universal disuse, although at
one time the medical profession even
suggested that piercing was beneficial
to the organ of hearing.
Long before the dawn of civilization
earrings were almost as important
In 5ewelry as today. At the height Of
her power Greece adopted the earring,
both men and women wearing 1t. The
Grecians were the pace-setters In
styles in those days, it would seem,
for the Romans did not incline SO no.
ttceably toward the movement until II
had been well grounded in Athens.
Then Rome wasn't satisfied with the
limitations of the earring, so her
style dictators proceeded to make vari-
ations. The distinctiveness of the
earrings In Rome was the addition Of
weight.
