Today, women can wear pants but still look feminine. In the same manner, men can also wear earrings and still look manly enough. As fine jewelry has become increasingly and widely acceptable in the male world, earrings have also become a fashion statement for men.

But did you know that wearing of earrings can be traced long before rock and roll musicians and bands exist? Yes, it is indeed true. This fact is actually supported with the images of warriors carved on the remains of the ancient Persian empires and palaces that existed way back in the 19th century. During those times, it was thought that demons and evils spirits enter the human body through the person’s ears. Hence, men wear earrings for the purpose of warding off such spirits. Sailors in the past also wear earrings to show that they have encountered and survived countless battles or storms.
