The history of earrings is a varied history indeed. And the
latest in the long line of female body adornments known as
earrings are Moissanite earrings. Moissanite is taking the
jewelry world by storm and moissanite earrings are no exception.
Moissanite earrings, well earrings in general anyway, are a
fashion with a long history. They are believed to have
originated around 3000 BC. Fashioned often in gold, silver or
bronze, numerous examples of earrings dating from around 2500 BC
to the time of Christ have been unearthed.
Many fascinating examples have been uncovered from the royal
graves in Iraq!
Earring styles have varied enormously over the last 3500 years.
Earrings were often buried with the dead, as were many other
forms of fashionable jewelry of the time. This is fortunate as
it allows us to determine exactly what earrings were popular at
various times in our history.
Around 1350 BC hoop earrings were popular which fitted inside a
larger hole in the ear than would normally be the case. We can
only imagine what it would have taken to produce the hole in the
ear in the first place! Probably a small hoop earring at first,
followed by larger ones as time progressed.
Earrings had styles and motifs which fitted the times. For

often displayed motifs of the gods of the time. And precious
stones also adorned the ears of the wealthy women of the time to
display their riches.
From around the third to the tenth century AD earrings were
overtaken by head adornments which often covered the entire side
of the face. And then for a few centuries after that long hair
styles and high collars covered the ears and earrings lost their
appeal.
Earrings took a back seat for quite some time, but re-emerged
unscathed around the sixteenth century. At the time womens
hairstyles crept up exposing the ears again and by the
seventeenth century earrings were back in fashion.
Earrings then were often long and heavy and extended use

This can be clearly seen in pictures of Queen Victoria, a
dedicated earring wearer. Perhaps she had a lot to do with the
fashion of the time.
Earring fashions varied with hairstyles. When the hair was worn
on the top of the head the ears were prominently displayed and
so earrings were essential, however from time to time the
hairstyles favoured covering the ears, and earrings went back
out of fashion.
All sorts of exotic earring materials were used including in the
late 1800s, of all things, Brazilian beetles for their
attractive green color.
Back then it was Brazilian beetles, now its moissanite. Using
the newest of the modern earring materials, moissanite earrings
are taking the earring world by storm. Why? Simply because
moissanite earrings look as good as diamond earrings but without
the price tag.
Moissanite earrings feature moissanite stones, a modern
alternative to diamonds which offer all the qualities of
diamonds but at a fraction of the cost.
Whether its simple round cut moissanite stones set into white
or yellow gold to produce stunning moissanite stud earrings,
three stone moissanite earrings in gold or solitaire moissanite
earrings with lever back settings, any would complement the ear
of the modern woman.
