They showed their position, wealth, nobility, for example, among the Egyptians, or, conversely, slavery, as in Rome. Gold earrings with pearls and precious stones emphasized the position of rich Greek and Egyptian women. Earrings, in addition to being decorative, were also considered amulets. Earrings put in girls' ears were intended to protect them from evil spirits, according to the beliefs of the inhabitants of Central Asia. Sailors believed that an earring in the ear would give their eyesight sharpness, thieves put on earrings as a sign of belonging to a criminal community. Among the Cossacks, the last man in the family or the only son of the mother wore an earring.
