History of men's earrings
Earrings for men and women have always enjoyed the favor of fashion, but initially they arose as jewelry for men. In the Stone Age, the stronger sex would put bones through their ears to demonstrate strength. In Ancient Egypt, earrings were worn as an indicator of power and position in society. African and Australian tribes marked with them the ritual of initiation of a young man into a man. The earring in the Cossack’s ear showed that he was the only son of a single mother. They tried not to expose such a warrior to unnecessary risk.
In Rus', boys were given an earring in one ear, and girls in both, thus jewelry-amulets helped to distinguish the gender of children.
In the Middle Ages, the church banned the wearing of earrings - only pirates, gypsies and thieves showed disobedience. In the 60s, men's earrings regained popularity - they were worn by hippies, making jewelry a sign of originality, creativity and freedom.

Examples of stars
If a man is unsure about whether to pierce his ears and wear earrings, let him look at the examples of celebrities. It would be hard to call these men homosexual, feminine or funny.
Legendary football player Diego Maradona enjoys wearing diamond earrings. Michael Jordan, a black basketball player, gravitates toward hoop earrings, while Lenny Kravitz favors gold and precious stones. However, earrings are not the only jewelry of the legendary musician. He is considered a piercing fanatic and has six piercings in his ears alone.
Among the domestic stars, Garik Sukachev, Dmitry Nagiyev, and Petr Dranga distinguished themselves. Until recently, Timati also sported diamond earrings, but the rapper decided to change his image and abandoned this jewelry in favor of massive chains around his neck.
Assortment of men's earrings
Today, the choice of men's earrings in terms of variety of models is catching up with the women's assortment.
- Stud carnations are a classic option, appropriate in any situation. The model is distinguished by restraint, conciseness and elegance. Men's stud earrings are universal: suitable for both business events and parties. Decorated with diamonds or other precious stones, they emphasize the wealth and status of the owner.
- Hoop earrings are an interesting option that can complement even opposite looks. Earrings in the form of rings will create the image of a rebel, but will also successfully complement the romantic style, emphasizing courage and freedom of spirit.
- Tunnel earrings have a large through hole - to wear them you need to make large holes in your ears. This is an option for young guys who want to express their individuality. False earrings or plugs, as an alternative to tunnels, create a similar effect, but do not require holes of the same diameter.
- If you don’t want to pierce your ears, you can opt for earrings in the form of clips or cuffs . Clips come in a variety of shapes and are sometimes difficult to distinguish from studs. Cuffs are attached to the upper or middle part of the ear - they do not press, do not fall off and look original.

The design of men's earrings differs from women's primarily in its laconicism and restraint, although there are also extravagant models. The favorite materials for men's jewelry are white metals with a cold, calm shine, reminiscent of the shine of a weapon: white gold, platinum, silver, medical steel. Metals of other colors are also used, sometimes combined, but in quantities of no more than two.
Earrings are a favorite accessory of many athletes and actors.
Which celebrity wears an earring?
Perhaps it’s easier to list celebrities who do without this accessory. For example, Boris Grebenshchikov, the permanent leader of the Aquarium group, began wearing an earring in his left ear relatively recently.
At first it was a stud, then the singer changed it to a small ring. Alexey Kortnev, actor and lead singer of the group “Accident,” also keeps up with fashion trends. The singer also wears an earring in his left ear. Russian rap artist Timati is a lover of not only tattoos, but also brutal jewelry, including earrings.
But Bruce Willis first pierced his left ear as a teenager, and subsequently acquired three more holes. The actor prefers high-status gold jewelry, which he wears with great dignity and chic.
Other celebrities from cinema, art and sports include Lenny Kravitz, Harrison Ford, Johnny Depp, David Beckham, Will Smith, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Stylish accessories for real men
Used for men's earrings: gilding, enameling, engraving, blackening, inlay. Jewelers choose large stones, with sharp edges, or process them in the form of an opaque cabochon. Smaller inserts are hidden in the metal, hiding the fastening tabs - in the design of men's jewelry it is customary to use a minimum of details and decorative elements.
David Beckham and Johnny Depp are the founders of the fashion for earrings for men.
Earrings for men are distinguished by geometric contours and clear lines, sometimes massiveness, “animal” patterns and prints. This theme also includes decorations with crosses, skulls, thorns, scorpions, lizards and the like.
Earrings for men: what to consider
Piercing
How and where you begin your ear decoration journey depends on the type of piercing you are looking for. The most ordinary craftsmen can easily do a standard ear piercing. But if you move up the ear - to where it becomes hard - you need to pierce the cartilage, not the skin. A gun will not help here, and you need to pierce with a needle.
In any case, you should not go to the nearest tattoo parlor you see. Ask friends with tattoos and piercings which artist they recommend, or read reviews of shops online.
Age
As they say, age is just a number. Unlike hummus, humans have no expiration date. If you have the courage, you can decide to do anything. Look at London-based architect and artist Abe Odedina, who is approaching his sixth decade, if you don't believe me.
Individual style
At a formal event, a shark tooth dangling from your ear may not be entirely acceptable, but there are no clear rules when it comes to choosing an earring for your ear. “It completely depends on the buyer, because everyone has their own style. Some people want something subtle, while others want something more dramatic.”
Think of buying earrings as similar to choosing a suit or sneakers. There are styles that you're naturally drawn to, and it's generally wise to go with your gut. There's nothing stopping you from wearing a pendant earring, but you'll probably instinctively know if it really suits your look.
Men's jewelry design
Classic accessories are distinguished by their strict shape, clear geometry of lines, deliberate massiveness, and roughness. The castes for the inserts are enlarged; if the earring is with a diamond, then there are no other decorative elements. Creative people prefer handmade silver items with original texture.

How to wear earrings correctly
There are no special rules for which ear a man should pierce. Some prefer to wear 1-2 earrings in the right ear, others - in the left. As a rule, musicians, football players, actors, racers and other personalities prefer to express their individuality with the help of such accessories. These jewelry are in particular demand among Hollywood stars.
For those who want to emphasize their individuality, but are afraid of getting their ears pierced, you should try wearing ear clips with magnets. They differ:
- affordable and reasonable cost,
- possibility to withdraw at any time,
- wide range.
Men's earrings differ from women's models in design and cut of stones. Women's jewelry comes in various shapes and designs. They are framed with various stones. Men's ear clips look the same as regular jewelry. Only for them there is no need to make punctures, since they are fastened with traditional latches.
How to choose the right men's earrings

They are distinguished by their laconic form, simplicity and nobility. These decorations look modest and discreet. They are suitable for both a business look and a sporty one. Stud earrings with stones are also suitable for an office look. For parties and entertainment events, you can opt for tunnels and plugs.

Basic criteria for choosing earrings for a guy
Having decided on the shape of the product, we must not forget about other criteria for choosing an earring for a guy. Buy a body accessory according to the following parameters:
- Oval face - “studs” are optimal for round shapes, and “rings” are harmoniously combined with angular contours.
- The contours of the ears - “tunnels” or “crosses” ideally correspond with an elongated lobe, and for a flattened shape, choose “rings”.
- The material of the product - the raw material from which the earring is made - should not cause discomfort (rub, cause ulcers or rashes to appear at the puncture site).
- Clothing style – sporty and active people are recommended to choose traditional studs; In the everyday life of informal young people, “barbells” and “tunnels” are indispensable, and office workers will benefit from classic “carnations” of discreet, calm shades.
- Other jewelry - all wearable items should be combined in material and color so as not to cause spiritual imbalance in a person.
- Scope of activity - choose earrings whose shape will not interfere with your work.
If you doubt the relevance of changing your image, then the optimal solution in this situation would be to purchase clips or “fake” clips. Such jewelry stays securely on the lobe and is easily removed. To try wearing such jewelry, you don’t have to make a hole in your ear - this is the main advantage of “fake” jewelry.
Earrings made of gold, silver and nickel cause skin irritation for most people, so it is recommended to wear accessories made of hypoallergenic materials
By choosing an earring for your ear, taking into account the above parameters, the jewelry or precious item will definitely be harmoniously combined with the visual image. Such an accessory will attract not only the attention of a woman to a man, but will also emphasize his individuality, distinguishing him from the “gray” mass on the city streets.
