Aromatherapy Earrings
Earrings have been a cherished form of Personal Adornment for millennia. Gracing the Ears of Men, Women, and even Children across Cultures and Civilizations like the Sumerians and Egyptians who wore them as Ancient Talismans and Symbols of Status to Modern Fashion Statements, Earrings have consistently change, reflecting the values, aesthetics, and technologies of their time.
In Ancient Times, Gold Hoop Earrings were worn as part of the burial treasures in royal tombs, signifying wealth and power. The Elite wore these hoops, while Common Folk adorned themselves with Earrings made from shells, stones, and even bones, all featured Intricate Designs and were believed to possess Protective Powers and to bring Good Fortune.
The Egyptians took this jewellery to new heights, crafting elaborate designs with Precious Metals, Gemstones, and symbols associated with their Deities and Gods. Greeks and Romans adorned themselves with Earrings featuring Animals, Mythological Creatures, and Geometric Patterns, showcasing Artistic Skills and Cultural Beliefs.
During the Middle Ages in Europe, Earrings experienced a decline in popularity. The influence of the Church, which discouraged altering the body, led to a decrease in their use till the Renaissance, when Earrings made a comeback in Europe inspired by classical ideals of Beauty and Elegance led to detailed designs featuring Pearls, Diamonds, and other Precious Stones and became sought-after accessories among the Wealthy and Nobility, but simpler styles like Pearl Drops or Small Gold Hoops were worn by people of different social class.
