About Handmade Earrings

You may cherish the way you look in your silver earrings, or other selections of handmade earrings, however, you are not unique. Ear piercing is among the oldest known forms of body art. Early evidence of men and women piercing their ears is observed in archeological displays from Persepolis of ancient Persia. Today, handmade earrings adorn the ears of both men and especially women in all known cultures. Handmade earrings may be made of glass, gems, beads, and metals such as silver earrings. Silver earrings are especially popular, as well as Hamsa earrings.
The other thing about earrings, is they do not need to be worn in the ears, necessarily. Other locations for piercings are the tragus, the rook and across the helix.

Designs range from small studs and loops to grandiose plates and items that dangle. The size of the earring is limited by the physical capacity of the earlobe to hold the earring without ripping. This can be painful and a health concern. Heavy earrings, however, worn over long periods of time can lead to a stretching of the earlobe and the piercing.

Dark Rose Round earrings are one example of handmade earrings that always look lovely. These have a lever back closure. The handmade earrings are about 3/4" across in diameter.

Hamsa earrings are another wonderful selection, especially for the spiritual type. There are several kinds of hamsa earrings. Especially in vogue are Blue Hamsa Earrings. These are made from 925 Sterling Silver blue and made by Ester Shahaf. The Hamsa is a lucky charm that protects the person wearing the jewelry. These earrings are all painted by hand and are decorated with Swarovski Crystals, brass and copper accents and beads. They are 1.2cm (0.5in) in width and 4.8cm (1.9in) in length.
