Jewelry is worn a lot by both the male and female sex, and it has been this way for many years.. The earring is mainly worn by most women, however, the ear stud has mostly been dominated by the male sex. This small piece of jewelry is usually a small, non dangling earring, worn a lot by male rappers. Usually, this type of ear stud is capped by a diamond which rappers refer to as “Ice.” Although the ear stud is mainly worn by the male gender, it is not totally uncommon (in fact, sometimes more practical) for members of the opposite gender, women, to partake in wearing this ear stud style of jewelry.
The man ear stud has been brought to the masses by famous rappers. This type of ear stud is commonly referred to as “Bling” and sang about in many rap and hip-hop types of songs. The bigger the diamond on the ear stud, the more respect from fellow rappers you get. This is because the bigger the ear stud, the bigger the diamond, and thus the more money you have spent. This type of jewelry is starting to become a type of success status and what you have achieved so far in life. How well you are doing financially use to be shown in the car you drive, and house you live in. That is still true today, but the ear stud has been thrown into the mix as well. Other jewelry that you wear works much in the same way (by showing your wealth status), but have not quite caught on as quick as the ear stud.
Diamonds are not the only ear stud they make. Not all of us are made of money like these big name rappers. Some of the other types of ear studs that you can buy would be metal, plastic, glass, or even beads. The design of the stud it self also changes. It can be anything from a small loop, to a large plate, or even a giant cylinder. They make many different gage sizes. So, if you want to work your way up to a bigger hole, you can safely do it using this gage sizing system. I have seen some people that have such a big hole in their ear that they can fit a quarter right through their ear. This is safe if you work your way up to it, just because its safe does not mean its a good idea. Use good judgment when picking out your size ear stud.
Wearing the ear stud has been around for centuries. Historically speaking, it was common for young girls to have both their ears pierced at the time of their birth. Back in the day, precious stones and beads were the most common types of ear studs. As said before, it is not uncommon for a male to have an ear stud. This is not only true for America, but for Europe as well. The only thing that limits the size of your ear stud is the physical capability of the earlobe it self. If the earlobe is stretched too much, too fast, then the lobe will tear, causing severe pain. If this is to happen, doctors recommend that you not wear any earrings for an extended period of time. That is why it is very important to work yourself up slowly to a beg ear stud. I cannot stress this enough. Follow these simple tips, and you too can have a gigantic ear stud. Earrings are not just for girls any more.
