Earrings

According to archeologists earrings have been with us since the third millennium BC. The first earrings were probably worn to ward off evil spirits.

The ancient Egyptians preferred to craft their ear jewelry using gold, while the Greeks combined multi-colored gemstones. The idea to secure ornaments through a hole in the ear lobe originated in the Far East.

During the Middle Ages, changes in hair and clothing styles caused a decline in earring popularity, however earrings made a comeback by the 17th century. Since then, earrings have remained an essential fashion accessory for almost every woman and have even become popular with men in western cultures.

The Silversmith stores have an extensive range of beautiful earrings to choose from to suit the most discerning shopper.
