Do you know?

Read some interesting facts about wearing earring recently.

1) Pierced ears became so unfashionable in the 1950s that they were viewed as "socially improper" for the chic woman.

2) When earrings fell largely out of use in Europe in the 1840s and 1850s (due primarily to a change in hairstyles that entirely covered the ears), women with pierced ears who didn't want the holes to close took to wearing simple earrings, known as "sleepers," to bed at night.

3) Some Etruscan earrings in about the 5th century B.C. had special compartments for perfume.
