Earring
An earring is a
piece of jewelry that is worn on the
ear. They are worn by both genders, although until recently in western cultures, they were more typically worn by women, but are making a comeback in males. Earrings are attached to the ear through a
piercing in the
earlobe or some other external part of the ear, except in the case of a clip earring, which clips onto the lobe. Common locations other than the earlobe for piercings include the
rook,
tragus, or across the
helix. The simple term "ear piercing" usually refers to an earlobe piercing, whereas piercings in the upper part of the external ear are often referred to as "cartilage piercings." Cartilage piercings are more complex to perform than earlobe piercings, and take longer to heal.
