Earring

Today is national holiday in Indonesia and I'm not doing many activities to fill in the  day.
I've made this new line of my jewellery design, it's an earring. It is funny, I made necklaces, bracelets, anklets (occasionally), rings (rarely), but never an earring. And you know what, it's tragic because I never even want to leave my home or apartment without my earrings, well except if I go for mourning then no jewellery would be worn. 

I've been attached to earrings since kid. My parents gave my first earrings set when I'm about one or two years old, and according to my mom, I made a lot of struggles when technician do ear piercing to my ears (which babies wouldn't struggle anyway when they have their ears pierced?) My parents must took me for a long walk after the technician managed to pierced one of my ear, because I refused him to pierce the other one... phiufff....then when we came back to the technician, well...all hell broke, oy... Anyway, now I'm grown with one piercing on each of my ear.

I took a look at Wikipedia to know a little about this jewellery, it is said that not only women wears earring in the old days. In Persepolis ancient Persia, some archaeologist managed to found some evidence that soldiers of Persia empire do wear earring. Even in bible, when Moses on Mount Sinai, Israelites demanded Aaron to made God for them. In order for him to comply their request, he ask Israelites to bring their sons and daughtes' pieces of jewelleries include earring. Then during English renaissance era, earrings become popular among courtiers and gentlemen. So, earrings also made a popular choice of jewellery not just for women, but also men in the old days.

Here's a simple design of earrings I made:
